Dame Grease provided DMX with his best ever work.

True. But it feels like he fell short at some point. And trust me, I am a fan of Dame Grease but something just didn't pan out either. I feel the same way about Ron Browz and 88 Keys. Great producers that somehow just didn't get to another level.

Honestly DMX should've stuck with Grease and Irv Gotti for production. They fit his style perfectly.

Yeah Dame is under-rated IMO, Dude didnt just give X his best tracks that totally complimented X's style but then he turned around and was about to do it again with Max B..

Dame is that nikka.

It's those Swizz Beatz beats that aged terribly

True.

I have a hard time listening to anything beyond IDAHIH.As far as being able to just throw on an album and let it play all the way through.

Most "classic" albums give you that.IDAHI is an "A" level album.I'd considered it a classic

The rest of his albums are "C/C+" territory IMO

And this proves @LieutenantDan point. IDAHIH wasnt produced by Swizz, he only did 1 song. A major song of course, but Dame Grease
did most of the work.

Keep pushing false narratives that arent backed by any sensible logic

They didnt reach that level cause they're not great. No need to give losers honorable mentions. They failed for a reason,while greats like swizz flourished for a reason

Damn homie, did they all three do something to offend you? shyt. Its ok, man. Lol.

They're still all good producers and I give them mentions because like it or not, they have made some good joints.

Swizz flourished because he figured out the game some more and stopped making beats from sampling Casio and Yamaha sounds for real.

He was winning even when he was doing this though
