DMX - Exodus (Discussion Thread)

[ShaDynasty]

I think it's a solid album. Clearly a rush job, and full of features but at least the features are good. The production is good for the most part.

 

[M4T]

The whole album with all the features was done before he passed. He mentioned the features in the TV ONE special.

Except moneybagg yo

 

[Axum Ezana]

nah. few songs okay but it sounds mostly cut in paste. lotta off beat stuff. swizz production gets stale fast and the other records are blatant attempts at a big pop chart toppin hit. dmx just doesnt sound the same.

 

[Tikal]

I was worried but I think this is a good album all the features did their thing and DMX was not at his prime when recording but it sure keeps the essence of X thru the whole album. Mixing seems off on some songs tho

 

[Alexander Wiggin]

Walking in the rain, letter to my son and skyscrapers are the shyt. The mixing is mediocre, I blame swizz. Don't let him near nas please. DMX voice ain't what it use to be but its alright.

Nas murdered his two verses mentioning akademiks by name lol

Vlad is punching the air right now

If they make a video for Hood Blues it gotta have a old school gangster theme feel.

 

[Ziggiy]

Kings Disease showed that Nas is still the GOAT on the mic.

 

[Ziggiy]

That’s cause Conway is the best in Griselda. Lol

Benny says hello breh

 

[Da King]

Congrats on the pathetic quick cash grab Swizz, this is a weed plate as expected

 

[Ziggiy]

Did Nas diss Akademiks lol I couldn't make out what he was saying

Not really. He was saying that rappers/celebrities whore themselves out for promo like Akademicks posting about them or mentioning them.

 

[SpacelySprockets]

akademiks went from getting ran off the coli to getting name dropped by the coli's favorite rapper

I peeped that when I listened to it a few more times.

 

[DillaTUDE]

That “Take Control” beat is a problem

 

[Ziggiy]

This a very good album. All the features brought their A game

 

[FreshAIG]

This album is really dope to me, and I like the production a lot. My only complaint would be too many features, and the mixing on some of these songs are awful. But X did good considering his condition, salute to Nas for two amazing verses. The Lox and Snoop did their thing. Bono bodied his feature. Usher did his thing. The other ones I could’ve done without honestly but they didn’t have bad performances. Currently, after 3 listens, it's sitting at his 4th best album.

But I want to cop the physical cop if there’s a way to. Long live DMX the Great!
