Low key, DMX music after ....And then there was x aged TERRIBLY

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

His biggest hits thereafter were who we be, where the hood at, and we right here

Im sorry

Them shyts is not good now.

All of his hit singles before that and tons of album cuts aged well but his shyt after 99 was pretty repug when you listen again...very forgettable...

 

[Ol’Otis]

Yeah I can barely listen to his music now

He had a damn good run tho

 

[ORDER_66]

DXL hard white still goes hard... Da fukk you talking about man???

EDITED TO ADD:

Dxl is my shyt

 

[Bugsmoran]

His music after And Then There Was X wasn't that great to begin with

 

[WSFGDan]

It's those Swizz Beatz beats that aged terribly

 

[MooseMouthMthafuga]

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

The 4th album was literally the end really... come at me brehs...

That has a lot to do with.Shyt sounds repetitive/formulaic.


That's why I didn't really like Flesh Of My Flesh-----Too much Swizz influence

 

[360dagod]

Crazy how he named his 4th album the great depression...he seen the future
16 years of depression for my nikka earl simmons

 

[DoomzdayzV]

I love X but Flesh of My Flesh was kinda ass....and everything after that, forget it. Dude was not good at crafting a complete album, and truth be told Ruff Ryders had a wack team of producers.

 

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

by the time he dropped he 4th album. he was about to turn 31 with 3 albums and a couple more albums worth of guest appearances, and a gang of underground material.

show me another rapper who continued to put out timeless-esque music at that point of their careers after such a high peak.

don't give me any mid-card drifters that never dropped any consensus classic LPs and/or were never main eventers.

the only example we have is jay-z from '96-04, but he had to shark & play politics to accomplish that.

His biggest hits thereafter were who we be, where the hood at, and we right here

"X gonna give it to ya" was bigger than all of those.

"Up In Here" is his biggest hit.I've seen 70 yr old women quote that hook.

Slipping is his best song

Niccaz Done Started Something is his best verse.

But that's just my opinion

 

[Real]

I disagree

 

[bartek420]

I'm gonna leave singles alone.















If you think otherwise then...
