DMX "WHO WE BE"...the concept and writing on this song always blows my mind

[MurderToCassette]

Funny enough Slug says he wrote Scapegoat to a Jay Z beat (off Reasonable Doubt)



“Back then I used to just write to anybody’s beats and just rap right on top of them rapping because I didn’t care. I was just using their beat as a metronome. One of the records on there, if you can find whatever the slowest song on that record was that’s probably the song I wrote Scapegoat to.”

It’s a MASTERPIECE

FEW IN HIP-HOP could make a song like this.

Stop.

Y'all showing exactly.
how the industry sent y'all off in this thread. The shyt hilarious reading y'all comments.

Y'all have no idea y'all got played.

They got twenty two years of lol'n at y'all and y'all still stuck. Why they misappropriating and sending y'all completely off.


Get some culture and history and stop being duped.

The fact that Nas, X, and Snoop don’t have grammys while Eminem and Macklemore have MULTIPLES is a disgrace to Hip Hop

Putting Em with Mackelmore is an insult. Why yall act like prime Em was a joke or something makes this board laughable sometimes.

Anyways, didn't they just put this song in a movie or TV trailer?

Prime Eminem ain’t shyt compared to Nas, X, and Snoop

Prime Eminem ain’t shyt compared to Nas, X, and Snoop

Your opinion and many on here agree with you on that.

But even if you don't F with him, there's a huge tier between Eminem and Macklemore.

What they don't know is!
The coke, the stealing, the dogs, the tims
The fiend, the bad father, the barking, the Simsl
The impersonating an FBI agent, the dope, the barking, the Jail.
The rappers who made it, the dark man who failed.

The daps, the rep, you thought you'd see
2 years later, the neg, right next to the tree

DMX closed out a Houston car show concert to that song. Another time......a better time. I'd live 2000-2010 in an infinite loop if I could. fukk it, that whole 1996-2010 era would be on loop. A great (in hindsight) 15 years.

The soyboys triggered, the lame seed,
The failed quote, the legend, the dap I still received.

Im not mad at all. . Dmx has been smoking crack since he was 14, has over 10 kids (estranged from his eldest ones) been to jail for alot of stupid shyt.. but we still love him.. he's a hell of an artist, some would say the goat...tell us something we don't already about him

I've never seen a DMX stan defend any of his fukkery...

Its also evident you cant rap cuz none of that shyt you wrote flows at all

 

[Milk N Cookies]

I kid you not I had a whole discussion with my sister how this STILL reflects what we are going through. When Zimmerman walked I played they don’t care about us for like 3 hrs straight. Ever since George Floyd, I’ve been playing this.

I’m fukking tired it!

 

[Cladyclad]

Great song covered in a dog shyt album

 

[Milk N Cookies]

I just remembered this thread. X gotta pull through...
