DMX - Slippin' appreciation thread :wow5:

[DarkmanX]

One of the few songs I'd actually call perfect, means even more after peeping his book

True, great read.

 

[Originalgangsta317]

Top 5-10 rapper of all time

 

[feelosofer]

Top 3 DMX song, maybe his best. DMX really knew how to grab at your emotions, I felt like I was walking right next to the homie, when he rapped.

 

[hu3ypdadon]

You only know this song cause Meek just used it?


Foh fraud

its a shame

 

[The Entity]

One of the few songs I'd actually call perfect, means even more after peeping his book

I didnt know he had a book out. What did he say in relation to the song?

 

[MooseMouthMthafuga]

Far & away his best track IMO.

I was kinda lukewarm on X back in the day.


Not because he wasn't dope, but because he wasn't as consistently dope as I thought he could be.

He was somewhere between All Star & Hall Of Famer.Which is great, but songs like this made me think he should've been coasting at a Hall Of Fame level his whole career.

I'm talking about up there with the Juggernauts.


I think he should've ditched Swizz Beats more often.DJ Shok produced this track.Swizz beats 'beats' became redundant really fast.

I was on board with It's Dark And Hell Is Hot, but other than Slipping, Flesh Of My Flesh had me


But yeah, Slipping would probably be in my top 20 favorite rap joints

Great read, if you ever get a chance, I suggest picking it up.

Goes into detail about pretty much every aspect of the song...being in foster homes, jail time, like how he found his dog, being a stick up kid, etc.

 

[letti cook]

i wanna make records but im fukkin it up

sums his whole career right there

 

[Dirty D]

Another X classic that hits the heartstrings:

 

[ThaBronxBully]

I Wanna Make Records But I'm fukking It Up
I'm Slippin', I'm Falling', I Can't Get Up


Powerful Song, Gonna Be Sad To Listen To If X Passes In An Unfortunate Way

 

[OfTheCross]

Great album. My sister bought me this and Hootie and the Blowfish for my birthday.

Lol. I usedto bump them shyts back to back

 

[NotaPAWG]

If you had to define DMX or sum his life up in one song, this is it.

Every time I hear it I can't help but feel for him and hope he eventually gets it together.

Yup.

This song to me a staple of my childhood. I remember hearing it growing up being played on VH1 a lot when my parents were Alcoholics. It definitely hits a deep spot

 

[H.R.V]

The frustration of having his abilities but constantly fighting the demon within

Powerful tune

 

[Danie84]

NO HYPERBOLE, I went HAM to this gut-wrenching CLASSIC yesterday

...nikkas talking shyt like damn look how that rock got him

Them Dualities

 

[GhettoNintendo]
