His style was never going to last though. It was too tied to a very specific era of NY rap.
How did DMX fall off a cliff so fast with popularity?
- Thread starter EBK String
- Start date
Kept missing big shows and interviews
I remember one year at the mtv awards was pose to be him and Jay on this joint stage
Well he didn’t show up and it became a showcase for Jay instead

it was more of the same and the public got tired and moved on to the next up and coming star
the rap game is shifty like that
X the realest though cuz he never switched up his style and he gets mad respect because of that

Also Missed the VMA’s in 2000 so they had Nelly fill in which helped Nelly blow up.
99.9% of recording artists would literally kill their birth mother to have a run like that.
Nothing lasts forever.
If he didn't smoke crack he could’ve been doing multi-million dollar Vegas and Dubai residencies until he went to dog heaven gracefully.

Idk if anyone mentioned this but competition rose as his career went on. Murda Inc Ja, G Unit and 50, Dipset, Luda, T.I., Wayne, Jay Z, Nas and so many others were hitting stride and reaching the peak of their careers. Plus the drugs

X never really grew from IDAHIH to Grand Champ.He peaked on his first mainstream release.He had some nice singles here & there, but the rest of his catalog, beyond IDAHIH, full album wise; very very mid imo.Only one classic on his resume.When he was focused, tho(Slipping..Niccaz Done Started Something)..Definitely top 10 of all time worthy

His music got progressively worse with each album
He should have worked with more producers outside of the Ruff Ryder camp. X over Premier, Havoc, Prime RZA, DJ Muggs, Pete Rock, Eric Sermon etc would have been bananas.
Plus his drug habit had gotten worse within every release
