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

[GunRanger]

Critical Condition is dope. Wonder how it would sound with his deeper voice

 

[Easy-E]

This one he kinda sounds a like LL/G Rap on this

He sounds waaayyy more like the X we know, here.

The first song in the OP sounds like a unfinished Rakim song.

Facts

I'm just glad X was smart enough to drop that Rakim style of rapping and found his own style becuz that earlier style of rapping was extremely played out (nationwide) by the time The Chronic came out.

I noticed post Chronic nationwide (NY, The South, West) a lot of people's original styles developed. They cut that 80s umbilical cord completely

Unstoppable Force, tho

Dude ate that shyt

@FreshAIG I think Kool Moe Dee coulda lasted longer if he stopped rapping like he was in 1986 all the time

His homeboys shoulda kept their ears to the streets and let him know to stop rapping like that haha

LOL Moe Dee was nice but he kept the same flow too long. It was over and nobody told him

I see why DMX is such a Rakim stan, just another on the list

disagree
I think Moe Dee overachieved

his rap career success is one of the most unlikely events ever, if you think about it.

He was a contemporary of Grandmaster Cas and Melle Mel, yet he launched a second act when both of those guys had already passed the torch.

X and Percee P on Stretch and Bobbito in 1991

Wow!

 

[Ziggiy]

Isn’t Spellbound what started the K Solo beef?

Yep. In his book he referred to him as “K-Stole It”

 

[Xtz23]

It’s crazy how different he sounds I would nvr be able to guess.

 

[TrifeGod]

Off topic but not off topic I saw Percee P's name and I had to google to see where he's at now


Still killin' it

I wish he did another project with Madlib

 

[D.C Young]

wow thats DMX?

That sounds like straight up Rakim.
