[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Keep outta my alerts box with your gay ass.

 

[bigbadbossup2012]

up until that point, who was bigger than DMX in '98, aside from master p?

Puff
Mase
Mystikal
Silkk
snoop
Busta
jay

even Pun maybe

 

[bigbadbossup2012]

nah. I'm not making excuses.

I'm just saying, hes not a guy that's even attempting to churn out radio hits. the fact that he still managed to do so is great.

It is an excuse still

I was with you up until the bolded.

so swizz cant make album cuts now?





the bolded is what I was saying breh.

nah. YOURE not saying that dame is a better producer, but most of the posters in here, basically are, as theyre chittin all over swizz beatz.

I’m not saying Swizz CANT make album cuts bro. I’m saying what Swizz’s main strength was for DMX. Singles and bangers. Bangers are album cuts as well fam. I mean shyt one of my fav DMX songs is Some X shyt and that was produced by Swizz.

Puff
Mase(bigger in 97)
Mystikal(wrong)
Silkk(wrong)
snoop(def wrong)
Busta(arguable)
jay(not until later in the year. And he rode DMX and Ruff Ryder’s coat tails.)

even Pun maybe(nope.he was big and had a huge single but he wasn’t bigger than X that year.)

Ur seriously underestimating the star power X possessed when he stepped on the scene with his first album. It wasn’t a damn single that did it for him. It was HIM. X got love that I hadn’t scene a rapper get in years up until that point. Like nikkas genuinely loved X in the hood. Swizz ain’t make that nikka.

 

[bigbadbossup2012]

Swizz on second album > dame on first album
My nikkaz
Aint no way
It's all good
Omen
Ready to meet him

Pac and biggie had just died in 96/97
I know X was fukked with but he wasnt running shyt prior to RR anthem and his two back to back albums.

nikka X could walk thru any hood by himself and not get touched. I’m not talkin bout fame nikka. I’m talking about genuine love. Yea PAC and Biggie just died. And X was looked at in the same vein as them nikkas when he came out. X was rare in the sense hood nikkas genuinely had love for this nikka.

So let me get this right
Mase killed his "only you" 112 feature
Killed it along side diddy on
Been around the world
Can't hold me down
mo money mo problems with big and puff
Drops his own classic single with a classic video to match
Drops a classic album in Oct 1997 but he wasnt hotter than x in 1998 (before rr anthem and IDAHIH dropped)?

lmao nikka please,how old are you lil boy?

Mystikal and Silkk both had classic albums on the street before 98 and were major parts of a flourishing record label.
Before IDADIH and RR anthem that RR flag meant very little, lox was still in shiny suits looking like homo thugs.

This is from jun 1998

Lmao didnt x rap for his record deal with a broken jaw from getting touched?
X grew to have it like that. It wasnt out the gate

He did. he recorded "The Convo" in the same time too

 

[puppetmaster]

I agree.X came with some Hall Of Fame level shyt on Niccaz Done Started Something.

That one verse authenticated him for me

That was a textbook display of blacking out on a track.

Agreed..that was the first dmx verse I put to memory

lol @ snoop & busta.
big pun was never bigger than DMX
silkk & mystikal - nope
puff & mase were '97. DMX ended their whole schtick.
jay-z?? he was still promoting volume ONE when DMX took over the east coast. then jay-z rode the DMX/ruff ryder wave with volume two.

BREHAM.

we're talking 1998.

not '96-97

It is an excuse still

no its not.

theres basically 3 types of producers:
- hitmakers
- album molders
- guys that can do both

^^^swizz falls under that last category. which is another reason why hes so underrated by music snobs.

but yea, that's not a knock on dame grease. and its contradictory of you to downplay grease while bigging up timbaland who is on the opposite realm.

Keep outta my alerts box with your gay ass.

oh the irony.

 

[Nintendough]

Thread is a damn lie. We right here and who we be still knock. I saw X live not to long ago and dude sounds like his old self when he RAPS(sounds different when he talks) and both of them tracks hit and the whole crowd went nuts.
