DMX It's Dark And Hell Is Hot 20th Anniversary Thread

Ruff Ryders Anthem in 7th grade was hard to describe, how raw and powerful it was, along with 2pac "Changes", these songs rang out everywhere. That feeling when "Ruff Ryders Anthem" came on, the edits on the video, the video itself was just viscerally grimy, X just came out of nowhere, to most of us in San Diego, we never heard of this dude really. And then everyone was on it.

One of the greatest albums of all time.
What's y'all favorite bars from the album
"I sold my soul to the devil, and the price was cheap
A yo it's cold on this level cause it's twice as deep"
"If you wasn't born wit' it then, it wasn't meant for you to be
But you can't blame me for not wanting to be held
Lock down in a cell where a soul can't dwell
This is hell, go to the Devil and get me the key
But can't be worst than the curse that was given to me"
"Hit you on a level of a madman who's mind's twisted
Mad nikkaz dreams caught the last train, mines missed it
Listed as a manic depressant with extreme paranoia
Hey dog, I got something for ya
Hear my name, feel my pain, nikkaz wanna steal my fame
But first feel my reign, know what it's like to suffer, never
have enough of shyt, startin' off hard than only gettin' rougher"
"I bear my soul, nikkas wouldn't dare, my role
Gives a nikka a heart of gold but with a hole
Lost all control, my shoulders hold a lot of weight
Just like first I'm sold an eight, then told it's not an eight
But then it's out of state, and it's too late for changes to be made
That's what I get for fukking with strangers in the shade
This is it, that nikka's got to give me a plate
For the same reason that fate, chose to give me away
Take away hate, now I'm supposed to love the one that cursed me
The one that wouldn't give me a cup of water when I was thirsty
It was always his versus me, but now I gotta teach him
Personal feelings put aside, cuz now I gotta reach him"
"Day 2 of the saga
This fukkin' drama continues
Wakin' up like every 2 hours, lookin' out my window
Plus I keep the 4-4 pointed at the door
Just in case, when they bust in, I bust them
And I'm gunnin' for the face
"What a waste of potential" is what my teachers used to tell me
"You can always get a job" that weak shyt they tried to sell me
Got me no where but broke and fukked up in the game
But now I got a name, and nikkas know my name"
"My people show love and haven’t left me stranded yet
Though I have a death wish it ain’t been granted yet
So until then I’m gonna be that nikka all up in your chest
Until the lord decides to lay my ass down to rest
Bless my body at the funeral and hope I don’t burn
Was a hard headed nikka and nope I don’t learn
Saw the truth but chose to ignore it wasn’t goin for it
My nikka had to give it to me (AHH!) then I saw it"
The crazy thing about X was I don't even know how to categorize the album. It's not a gangster rap album. It's hardcore for sure, but there's darkness, he's the most vulnerable "street" rapper I ever heard on this album. It had the elements of despair, depression, anger, extreme violence.

DMX got me through my high school years man, on some real shyt. Ima always respect the dog and rank him high as fukk.
X was the biggest thing popping, not Jay, not Snoop, not Nas. He filled that void after Pac died. All the others fell short (and Nas the goat).

The final verse of Look Through My Eyes always gave me chills
"I bear my soul, nikkas wouldn't dare, my role
Give to nikka a heart of gold but with a hole
Lost all control, my shoulders hold a lot of weight
Just like first I'm sold an eight, then told it's not an eight
But then it's out of state, and it's too late for changes to be made
That's what I get for fukking with strangers in the shade
This is it, y'all nikkas got to give me a plate
For the same reason that fate, chose to give me the way
Take away hate, now I'm supposed to love the one that cursed me
The one that wouldn't give me a cup of water when I was thirsty
It was always him versus me, but now I gotta teach him
Personal feelings put aside, 'cause now I gotta reach him
What I'd like to do is turn my head, like I don't know him
But it seems like I've been called on to show him
So I'ma show him
And if you never met me, then you've no right to judge me
I've got a good heart but this heart can get ugly"
