He in my top 5 depending on the day of the week. #5 fluctuates between him and busta rhymes

for not having a cliche top 5 like most rap fans... Busta is really underrated...

Oh you were 9 when ruff ryders anthem dropped. Tell us more about hip hop from the view of a 3rd grader

When you word it like that.........



One of the funniest things I've ever read on here



To be fair, even as a 3rd grader, you can still know what's popular because you'd hear/see it every day. But yeah, that's where it stops.

I could tell you Ice Ice Baby was a hit record, but don't ask me shyt else about Vanilla Ice's history, place in hip hop or legal situation at that time because I didn't know and didn't care.

All I can say is "Its Dark....." is easily a top 5 all-time rap album

 

[SirBiatch]

X was my favorite rapper in 98/99. I remember when Eminem came out, and I thought Slim Shady LP was aight, but wasn't remotely fukking with Dark and Hell is Hot.

"Flesh" wasn't great but I remember "Bring Ya Whole Crew", "No Love 4 Me" and "Blackout" like it's nothing.

I would say X is somewhere in the top 40 - 100 depending on your taste.

 

[BlackMajik]

Pretty damn high

There are very few rappers that are fukking with a Prime DMX

nikkaz Done Started Something

........ one of the greatest rap songs of all time... dare anyone to disagree

 

[-Quikness-]

for me .. x is one of the goats .. his debut is up there with illmatic and ready to die etc ..

his fall from the top is why people hate on him tho.

i respect dude .. read his book if you aint peeped it ..

 

[-Quikness-]

imo he fell off every album after flesh of my flesh it got worst and worst.

i respect your opinion and agree kinda .. but imo its dark was was hard to match .. flesh had classic tracks thorought,and then there was x did too,same for great depression and grand champ .. all of those albums are still great albums to me ..

 

[Columbo]

His last album Undisputed had at least 5 or 6 songs I still fukk with...

He had his moments on every last one of his albums. And hes one of my top 3 favorite rappers.

But to answer the op he couldve been alot higher. Id probably put him top 25. He def had top 10 potential, maybe even top 5

 

[ULCYril]

Ill place him in my top 25 just because he did release two classics
in one year and some other decent albums but hes up high on the list as he fell nearly just as fast

 

[KravenMorehead™]

Top 20-30.

Top 5 realest
