Cuz dmx had a spark when he started then he became garbage .Then there was x was the real fall off that album sucked
How did DMX fall off a cliff so fast with popularity?
- Thread starter EBK String
- Start date
Tupac is more talented and a better choice for beats and all that..he was planning on hooking up with the south next anyway and the south worshipped him and copied his ways in so many variations, I've lost count. Real talent sticks around....shaky types like Soldier Boy and Silk the Shocker? Real trash.Jay z is a rare cat to stay on top all these years , dmx had a decent run , I think him going off doing movies sorta sidetracked him but the main thing is his personal problems from his addiction issues to his legal issues with the law aswell ...... 50 was the biggest rapper in the world at one point same as Wayne but it don’t last long .....that’s why I laugh wen people say pac or big would be still on top and I say hell no ... there’s no way them 2 would have stayed on top from the mid-90s up til now ....snoop has only stayed relevant due to other ventures etc same with puffy music wise both fell off years ago ... jay truly is a rare one

dmx 3rd album/ sucked outside of one more road to cross and the singles.
he dropped about 300 songs in 5 years thats why he fell of.
that and his ear for beats which was his biggest attribute declined.
he also triedto make a record label smh that distracted him
then he did 10 movies real quick "& did heavy drugs and dmx was done.

Jay Z dont sound nowhere near as he did over the last 15 years. The song with Alicia Keys was the last real untouchable hit he had...

Yeah I was so disappointed I remember riding my bike with a few friends and getting it from blockbuster music lol.

It’s Dark is the only great DMX Album. Everything else is Meh.
Also, X was never a great Lyricists. He was always a better song writer than a lyricist to me. All his other albums had weak production, not even good song writing could save.

DMX was remaking the same album over and over again lmao
Also the bootlegging was CRAZY I was bumping "get it on the floor" summer 2002
I will say that Grand Champ is underrated and anybody that says DMX fell off before like 2005 is crazy
Grand Champ >>>>> TGD and Flesh of my Flesh

X isn't really that diverse in what type of songs he can do, him doing anything else besides the dark shyt on his first 2 albums doesn't fit him imo. And Then There Was X was great but some of the songs on there are ass because they don't fit him, I can think of 3 or 4 that I hate off rip. Also his drug addiction was hitting him hard.Its dark and hell is hot 1998- 4.8 million sold
flesh of my flesh blood of my blood 1998- 3.5 million sold
and then there was X 1999- 4.9 million sold
the great depression 2001- 1.8 million sold
Grand Champ 2003- 1.2 million sold
I could have swore the great depression sold like 4- 5 million until I looked it up, but he was done as a top selling rapper already in 2001. How did he go from going selling 5 million to never selling over 2 million again that quickly?
idk why y'all say this stupid shyt
I never understood that. X isn’t a “lyrical miracle” rapper but he’s a great lyricist, because he’s a great storyteller. And he can rhyme his ass off in the “lyrical miracle” way too if you listen to his older songs. He did rely on a lot of cursing, so I get that, but he has a lot of depth to his rhymes even if they’re not SAT vocabulary words. Lol.
Generally speaking X isn’t going to give you some over the head bars or some complex rhyme scheme but he’ll get really in-depth with his spirituality or turn around and tell a story you can close your eyes and visualize everything happening.
Oversaturation and terrible productionIts dark and hell is hot 1998- 4.8 million sold

That triton era in rap really was terrible
STOP. Aint no way that sucked. Great Depression wasnt up to par, but And Then There Was X?
i think the general problem people have with that album is that it's the one that crossed him over & made
him more than just a hip-hop star, which kinda went against his image as an artist. Not that he buckled and sold out
but when you got preppy college kids singing along to Party Up it's.."different".
Im not buying that it sucked im sorry.
This i agree with, and the problem spells SWIZZ BEATZ.
Less Dame Grease & producers like that and Swizz handled almost all of his production after IDAHIH. More profitable for Ruff Ryders im thinking. Remember Grease sayin he didnt wanna sign a management deal with RR after Its Dark and thats why they stopped working as much.
that album was 
foh groupie
