nikka he had his hands on 13 tracks on the album. That's around 75% of the production on X's BEST album that Dame Grease had a hand in. What fukkin real DMX fan feels the opposite of this shyt? I'm actually baffled. Dame Grease and PK was X's signature sound.Even if I was to accept your inaccurate 13 out 19 tracks story, 13/19 is not equal to 85%.
You need to look at those production credits, breh. Of the 13 tracks, 7 are the only ones Dame produced by himself. 1 of them is a skit. How in the hell are you giving Dame Grease so much credit for that album anyway
DMX is possibly the most overrated rapper of all time. IDGAF what anyone says.
It's not a myth. It was a general belief at the time. And the difference between Nas and DMX/Jay is that they were consistently themselves. Volume 3 Jay is still the same guy, even if Volume 3 wasn't as good as Volume 2, 1, or RD.
Nas went from street poet to mafia don. You could tell he was influenced by Biggie and others and started telling first person shooter type of stories. So he lost some of his direction and started following what other people were doing. You Owe Me Nas isn't the same guy as One Love Nas. And a lot of his fans wanted him to stay that guy.
Nah. Stop it. That was a general belief before Takeover. Nas wasn't in the mainstream consciousness by 2001, outside of Oochie Wally, which was a minor song dropped early in the year. It took the Jay beef and Stillmatic to bring him back by the end of the year. He had been cold for a while by then.
And you can tell, because he was everywhere between when Stillmatic and God's Son dropped. He made a comeback.
You think your opinion = facts.
Idahh is easily his best album. And that ere/dark production was his signature and made the world fall in love
The beats was signature X. They didn't have to be some crazy shyt. It was original and it fit him perfectly. Good beats are more than just bangers. People forget the creative and storytelling aspect of DMX. Which those beats fit perfectly. I'm not saying Swizz isn't an important part of DMX. I said he shouldn't have gotten RID of Dame Grease and PK. And Swizz gets all the credit when they were the ones instrumental in giving X his classic album.
These nikkas couldn't have been X fans from the jump. This is shyt that shouldn't have to be explained. nikka over there talkin bout hits n shyt. When at the time. Most shyt bumpin out nikkas whips was The Intro. Damien. Stop Being Greedy. How's It Goin Down(Radio version was NOT better by the way). Etc. Ruff Ryder's Anthem was bumped heavy too but not initially over those tracks.
opinion.
nikka that album didn't have huge hits but still saved Def Jam commercially and went like double out the gate. U trippin. Talkin bout hits n shyt and we talkin bout music. Matter fact. Ask DMX what his fav album is.
RR anthem is an iconic record and was loved by all.
