...And Then There Was X Appreciation Vol. The Forgotten Classic

[beast mode]

Personally, this was one of the most disappointing albums of all-time. X was that dude and you could make a claim that he held the "crown" so tospeak.

There were some decent cuts on the album but nothing makes me want to sit through this whole album from beginning to end.
Definitely the first signs that X was falling off.

 

[kash55]

X used to come out with fire.

Sorry.

Co-sign. I hate when people talk about him being the GOAT hardcore rapper.

Never in my life have I heard GOAT and DMX mentioned in the samesentence by anyone.

Ever hear of Kool G Rap ?

No, you are the only person on here who has heard of him.

DMX's music was ruined by swizz beatz

It was obvious sarcasm, and if you re-read what was said it said "hold their own" meaning up there with or equal to and not "hisfirst 3 were better then any other first 3 albums". See the difference? Dude's need to relax out here a bit.

I didn't think anyone would agree with me on that.

I don't. The only thing wrong with party up (well...it IS kinda HUGE :

) was that it's 3 different songs at once. The hook iswhimsical and fun. The lyrics are threatening and bold. And the beat is a Swizz beat

. It's like he tried to mix his own 3-pack kool-aid flavor, and itcame out with that bluish greenish grayish color...but it tasted ok, didn't it? Admit it

 

[purplehazze96]

Like I said it's not that terrible but all three things you listed are glaring. Like I said earlier it just doesn't fit the albumand it was played to death.

I liked the Kool Aid metaphor.

 

[mideastbeast]

@ DMX "holding his own" with Kool G.

Road to the Riches, Wanted: Dead or Alive, Live and Let Die all top 10 quality albums that were hugely influential to hip hop. Saying DMX in the same sentencemakes me laugh.

 

[grown man style]

this album was wack

 

[eight2one]

great album!

 

[eight2one]

great album!

 

[6 Rings G.O.A.T.]

Too bad DMX flame went out after this album...

I've mixed many a pitcher of 'laid in my day

 

[purplehazze96]

As have I, I've seen that grayish color with my own eyes. That's why that @%$% made so much sense.

[DVMNXK]

Horrible, horrible album.

His first two were extremely dope. This was the beginning of the end for him.

what horrible about it?

i don't think u know what a horrible DMX album sounds like......

here lemme show you a pic of it..

 

[Pmighty]

this was far from classic imo but i dont think it was wack either
its appreciated i guess

one more road to cross was

 

[GL Rayner]

This album was such a huge disappointment to me.

 

[blade br0wn]

This album was flames, i don't understand how anyone could see otherwise...

"One More Road to Cross"
"The Professional"
"DXL"
"What's My Name?"

All bangers... and the joint wit Sisqo is not to be ignored...

He collapsed with that piece of trash we refer to as "The GreatDepression"...

But when he went back to the producers that he used on his 1st LP, and dropped "Grand Champ", he cameback into the light for a min. "Grand Champ" was highly underrated...

He just went downhill from there...
