DMX the last real authentic New York rapper

[Obtain Knowledge]

To me, DMX represented that real street, grimy, and raw music that comes up out of New York. IMO he was the last New York rapper to really come with that gritty and street New York sound. It ain't been a New York rapper since him to come with that New York street sound and style that only New Yorkers have. DMX was like the last of the mohicans, he was the last of era, brehs:











That first album is a classic, they don't make em' like that anymore.

Even his laid back and retrospective sh*t was raw:

To be honest with you, I use to think that too when he dropped his FIRST album. I thought dude was a bit overrated but he won me over by the third album and then I went back and got into the first and second album.

But I have to give DMX his props because in retrospect, dude was really holding down the street side of things in Hip Hop back in the late 90's to be specific.

2000-02 50 Cent

Nah, better. X's music has held up while a lot of 50's so called classics have not in my opinion.

He was the last rapper I officially stanned. First 3 albums were

 

[Banned Account12]

well atleast he created his own lane, the best rapping drug addict

Never even here the third album. The singles were wack. Up in here, up in here. That shyt was garbage.

New York hip hop wasing birthed on street/grimy rap.

It was birthed on people partying and dancing and having fun. Honestly New York bit the west coast, because they brought that street shyt to the main stream/masses and new yorkers switched it up in the early 90's.
