Wanted to try somebody a little bit older this time. With 5 consecutive #1 albums on the Billboard Charts between 1998 and 2003, DMX was absolutely enormous in the late 90s. While the language in some of his songs hasn’t aged great, there is no denying that he was an absolute phenomenon and a legend in the game.
Share your favorite DMX songs. Radio singles, deep cuts, amazing features, whatever you can find.
I will share a few. I’m incredibly basic sometimes so my favorite DMX song is Where The Hood At. I think everybody knows this song. It includes one of my personal grossest lyrics “beat my dick and bust off in your eye so you can see me comin’”.
My favorite deep cut is Look Thru My Eyes off of his first album. This was one of the first hiphop albums I ever bought and this song consistantly got burned to the mix CD’s I’d make myself.
Favorite feature is on Go To Sleep, with Eminem and Obie Trice. This song makes me want to fight my grandma. The fact that him and this era of Eminem didn’t do more together is an absolute shame. Special shout out to Who’s Real. This is the better actual feature, just the weaker overall song. This is from well after his prime too, in 2009.
