We never talk about how bad DMX fell off

[CHICAGO]

Eminem was on drugs, Wayne was on drugs and on. We can take it back to the 60-70s, that was another level of jukieness.
A lot of rappers have issues and we talk about them.
It doesn't even have to be drugs, it can be other mental problems that fukks with your motivation and brain

So even among junkies, he got a pass

WE'RE NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT DRUGS
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT CRACK





​

 

[The Exchanges]

Because we all know why he fell off.



This X slander is outrageous. He got 3 classics.

 

[Metal Face]

we know how he fell off

Nobody talks about it, because as an X fan, it’s painful to have watched...
He didn’t “fall off” just because he stopped making good music, he fell off because drugs have been killing him for 20+ years...

If X died after his second album, people would be talking about him like Pac and BIG

I dont know if I would go that far. Swizz beats are mad basic and he loops stock sounds.

I've never seen anyone have And Then There Was X over Flesh. Really good album but clearly a step down, imo.

Me neither, nikkas act like their Wacky opinions are some historical common knowledge fact. But i remember how my employees used to walk around banging that album at work in late 98'.
But IMO the first 3 delivered in classic fashion.

Yea we're going that far.
Swizz a legend and grease isn't anywhere near one

 

[mobbinfms]

I actually don’t look at Wayne as a GOD MC,
but he isn’t ducking average nikkas act like Wayne is fuxking Jeezy or 50 on the mic


This an average MC y’all @mobbinfms

My issue with Wayne is his catalog.

Swizz is not even a top 20 producer all time.

Not saying Dame Grease is but as far as hard hitting beats goes, its got more umf these days than loops old samples....

 

[A Tribe Called Quest ™]

My issue with Wayne is his catalog.

I don’t think his catalog is bad, if he died in 2010 nikkas discography would be praised. From the tapes to the albums, people would suck him off.

 

[mobbinfms]

agreed..shyt felt rushed but it had joints...and then there was a X was classic to me after idahih

It was so disappointing on release date
Aged terribly too
Too much Swizz :PPicard:

All X’s best rhymes and concepts went to the first album too :PHandsup:

 

[mobbinfms]

i'm 33, it ain't one. A very good follow up, but not a classic.

It wasn’t a good follow up at all. 3 mics :PHandsup:

 

[mobbinfms]

Like his verse on Niccaz Done Started Something....Breh out shined some lyrical heavyweights on that track...I feel the same way about him that

Arguably the best verse of 98.

I’m far from a Wayne fan. You’ll be hard pressed to find many posts from me in the booth either positive or negative about him. That being said he had a few years in that Carter 1 and 2 era (and those first few Dedication era mixtapes) where he was a legitimately dope rhymer with a pretty effortless flow and some slick wordplay.

Carter 3 he still had skills and wasn’t as dope an emcee as before, but even Carter 3 in hindsight is a pretty decent album hip-hop wise considering it was basically sold as a pop album. It’s one of the last albums that had singles with 3 verses and basically no hook (A Milli) where you could find white girls that weren’t hip hop fans rhyming the entire song.

Bro did a rap album that legitimately crossed over. But yeah I never got down with any Wayne music post 2007/2008

This is more or less how I feel about Wayne.
My biggest gripe is that even his best shyt, wasn’t that great to me.
