DMX - SpellBound E.P. (1991) back when he used to rap with a much faster flow

[FreshAIG]

didn't he have beef with "La the Dark Man" over the name? Dark Man X (DMX) said that he had the name first.

Interesting. I never knew this

 

[Eastside Get The Money]

Isn’t Spellbound what started the K Solo beef?

Not gonna look right now but Lord Jamar explaining that story on Dj Glad is stupid funny

You have any idea which interview this was?

Fam they got like 100 interviews together. I lightweight looked but they got like 5 talking about DMX

He basically said the true story about the jail battle and how solo took the style. But Jamar was like "I saw X later and he was still talking about the spellbound shyt and Jamar was like that was mad years ago "

jamar sad he saw it as a gimmick and a one song pony rather than a whole style. It's also the reason X says K solo suck my dikk on It's Dark intro

LOL yeah it's too many.

And yeah On Get At Me Dog, third verse he says it. Originally version of Get At Me Dog his third verse he dissed the West Coast and 2Pac but changed it after Pac died and said K-Solo instead.

Edit: Found it he basically said Solo stole it from X.

Every 70s baby NY rapper started as a G Rap or Rakim clone

It didn't. He said at the time he couldn't get in the industry even though he was dumb nice because he didn't know anyone.

LOL yeah DMX always been nice, he bugging. But I think he meant nice in like a Rakim/Kane type of way. His style by time he came out was definitely less based on rhyming for the sake of spitting a bunch of bars and much more about his life.

 

[get these nets]

dmx grew up in jail

he and solo were probably in juvie together

Solo killed Knick Knack though


EDIT:

KSolo first album came out in 1990

a year after his feature on Knick Knack (from Unfinished Business which came out in '89)


On his debut album his song "Fugitive" tells the story of him being locked up

so I'm thinking he and X were inside together in the mid to late 80s

wrote the details in his book

k solo says the incident that landed him in jail happened in 1985
probably convicted in 86-87

If he thinks this version of X is nice he ain't heard shyt yet. This is no where near X at his peak lol

 

[Sane]

It's dope that X rapped so long he eventually developed his own completely original style






I used to listen to that deeper record heavy even though I never had a good quality version

I had made a best of unreleased and features X double cd in like 01 back when label makers for CDs first came out..

Sounds like Nine - Watchu want
