Time To Kill This Myth That DMX Had One Of The Worst Falloffs

[Wacky D]

DMX had at least 4 standout albums. with 1 or 2 of them being classics. the last standout being over 5 years after his debut. that alone is more than the standard run. not to mention all the tours, compilations, guest features, movies, etc.

plus X was around alot longer than some of you think. he was no spring chicken.

this whole DMX fell off bad stuff is illogical. people applying post-viacom logic to the '90s- early '00s.
just cuz hes not being shoved down our throats everyday like other washed-up rappers, doesnt mean that he fell off any worse than them.

K-Rino does what X can't

I've NEVER heard anyone argue that dmx didn't fall off. OP heard a track off of IDAHIH recently and got nostalgia

I wanna support this one fam, but I can't. After Grand Champ, he just went up in a puff of smoke..... almost literally?

I think the OP is forgetting how big X was from 98-2003 ish.

He could have it all, he was in movies, albums were selling! If he took the Jay route and became less about being in the streets and drugs he could have been something today brehs

 

[OnlyInCalifornia]

Yea.....no.

He fell off TOUGH.

And not just from raping, his movie career too.

 

[Cynic]

K-Rino does what X can't

Stay off crack ?

Have no fanbase ?


X fell off in 06.......you are a few years late with this debate


Grand Champ was his last good project.......

 

[Prince.Skeletor]

DMX is X
Stop disrespecting...

 

[RJY33]

he had five, maybe six #1 albums, good action movie run, some good side projects, some classic features

he had a more successful commercial career than all but a few rappers in history. he isnt the GOAT but will always be top 5 for me.

 

[BmoreGorilla]

X was a true superstar. To go from making platinum albums and starring in movies to impersonating federal agents is a complete 180. It wasn't his career that fell off but his life

 

[Won Won]

His first 3 albums sold 13M copies

His last 4 albums sold about 3.5M

His sales dropped almost 65% from And Then There Was X... to The Great Depression

He fell off hard

disregarding will smith, he's definitely the biggest rap superstar of all time. movies, albums... hell of a run

I guess when you reach the top the only way is down

X fell off hard!! He had pacs lane w/o any backlash... There's no sugarcoating ish

nikka fell off. He's still rich.
