DMX's prime from 1991-2001 was unstoppable! The raw energy, the fiery passion, the pure aggression is unmatched! Being from the 914 like X, we felt his death to the heart
Did you know DMX was about to signed to Death Row?!
The founders of Ruff Ryder Entertainment Joaquin "Waah", Darin "Dee" and Chivon Dean spoke on the matter. They said that they were close to signing, but the deal was not in their favor and they feared that their rappers would get slighted in the partnership with Ruff Ryder producers having to mainly produce for Westcoast artist instead of focusing on their team from Yonkers.
Swizz Beats also talked about how Suge Knight tried to strong-arm them into a deal.
There are several reports that Death Row again tried to sign them in 1995 and even flew them out to a LA Hotel which Pac was at and that 2Pac was suppose to speak to DMX about the East Coast drama. However, 2Pac never came downstairs as he was too busy with several meetings taking place. DMX would later go on to diss 2Pac on several Freestyles and unreleased records in 1996.
It's debatable if this was DMX just trying to get attention because if 2Pac responded to anyone it would blow them up, or if DMX felt slighted about Pac not coming down to the hotel lobby to meet them. Imagine if X and Pac would've got at it, that would've took the beef to another dimension!
X talking about the dirtiest hoes that would fukk the whole click. shyt is comedy gold!

I don't recall X using this after his debut. He recorded some parts of the verses used on this during Redemption of the beast Sessions. Actually, a track released like 2 years ago, called "X moves" and made into a movie sountrack called "Survive the game".
The verse used on this, actually got recorded on a full song with DJ Clue, but for some reason, just the second verse (the same one on the freestyle) got released on "Ruff Ryders: Documentary 2000". 2 year later, released on Clue's album Hev. E. Components: Part 2 (2001)

I still don't know how NYC slept on all of this when this was out. Granted, X was a pain in the ass to deal with during that time, but some of these songs age like wine.
He did get Unsigned Hype in the Source in 1991 and signed the deal with Ruffhouse/Columbia records in 1992, but since the Born Loser single didn't take off, he got dropped. And I think other labels were just afraid to take a risk with him because he was kind of a loose cannon back then.
This was the B-Side of Born Loser "Catching the Same Hell" that dropped in 1992
Both records were produced by Dr. Ceuss aka Chad Elliot who went on to produce a bunch of classic records in the 90s and early 2000s for Usher, Total, Destiny's Child, etc...

He got dropped? i thought it was him that ended the contract because their poor promotion with his first single Born Loser.
Maybe it wasn't an accurate info tho

1996 "If I Ruled the World" freestyle he reused these verses on "Keep Your shyt the Hardest" off "Flesh of my Flesh Blood of my Blood" in 1998
