Jay Stans, if you refuse to admit that DMX was bigger than Jay in 98, can you at least admit this

[African Peasant]

can we at least admit that IDHH is a WAY better album than vol. 2 ??? Or is it also a pill too hard to swallow?

both albums are overrated

 

[Ziggiy]

IDAHIH is 4.5 mics whereas Vol 2 is a solid 4 Mics

 

[Pressure]

hard to rate it when flesh of my flesh and ryde or die vol 1 made it an after thought less than a year later.

Album never really got to marinate to the level it deserved.

 

[Mastamimd]

IDAHIH is 5 mics whereas Vol 2 is a solid 4 Mics

FTFY

 

[ThirdAct]

Both Its Dark and Flesh of My Flesh are light years better than Vol 2

 

[Knucklehead]

You guys never get sick of this?

 

[Left.A1]

IDK bout IDHH …but FOMF with all them Swizz Beatz beats always sounded weird to me in comparison to his first album

 

[Street Knowledge]

Volume 2 lyrically and flow wise on a different tier

But Jay Z is a much better rapper than DMX so that’s expected

Yea...the album needed like 5 less swizz tracks

 

[Consigliere]

I wish you cornballs would get some new topics.

I just know y’all are boring the shyt out of everyone you know in the real world.

Y’all should honestly feel ashamed for regurgitating this shyt daily for the last 25 years.

No

 

[Whips-n-Chains]

It's Dark is better than every Jay-Z album besides RD, and even that is arguable.

 

[CaughtInTWebb]

The Hov hate on this board is ridiculous…..

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

Its Dark hit so different compared to Vol 2 its not even funny. Vol 2 aged like a wombat's nutsack:

• The "floss" monotone Jigga voice I despise so much
• The late 90s digital Thug raps
• Overrated ass single
• Bounce wit me ass tracks

Meanwhile, It's Dark just felt like fukkery in the purest form. You got a man with nothing to lose rapping over prime Swizz and Dame beats. The aggression of the album brought back the rugged NYC hip hop and made folks take off the pink suits, and throw on the doo rags and timb boots.

Also, it felt more sincere compared to X's follow up album, which just ehhhh...its okay at beast.

Overall, Its Dark>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Vol 2
