DMX wrote pop songs... Would "Party Up" be anything other then a pop track? I'm not belittling himself for it at all, in fact i think compared to a lot of artists sharing the same persona he had the best delivery and lyrics. I meant falling off, as in, he was the center of spotlight and is know hardly getting any media attention at unless staring in a B-rate action flick. |

LOL at having one hugely popular song (that his actual fans hate) and now he is a pop rapper.
He'd smack you or worse if you said that his face. So by your logic since Unforgiven was a ballad Mettalica isnt a metal band anymore either. Yep, that sounds right to me

Somehow i doubt if i went up to DMX and said "hey, i think you are a versatile and original rapper who knows how to cater to mainstream audiences" he would smack me. Why is being a pop rapper immediately looked upon as bad? |

Soulja boy is a pop rapper. If you think DMX and Soulja Boy are on the same side of the rap coin then thats all on you. But you would be incorrect. Also its very easy to look past his bad songs when you have songs like Fame, Slippin, Look Thru My Eyes, and Ready to Meet Him to listen to. His batting avg on his albums is actually very very good. Meaning the ratio of songs real DMX fans like and songs casual rap fans like (thats normally because they havent even heard the album they hear party up and think every track on the album sounds like that).

DMX is in no way a pop rapper and his pop song everyone keeps refering to "Party Up in here' isnt that pop it has a diss aimed at eminem (only artist Em didnt completely destroy in a dispute besides Nelly who FYI admitted defeat). DMX was always hard maybe sometimes beyond believable and he says that about some of his songs as well like "X is coming"
But his quality is amoung the best if he would of stayed retired he would of a made history as only artist to go #1 with every realese. And considering 2 realeses in 1 yr going number one thats unheard of. And his newest album maybe didnt have as many quality songs but it was still better then any post 2000 artist out(really like wrong or right). His next double realese will be a nice show I dont know how gospel record well go but you can always count on a solid rap record. -LTS

Dmx is 5'5 I'm not sweatin running into him in an ally. There are some scarry ass Whiteboys i would avoid in an ally more than him.
i agree he has fallen off he was another rapper that got raped on his deal. and let the lifestyle take over and ruin his life. its sad. just 3-4 years ago he had more platinum albums than jay-z. and was the top selling rap artist Last edited by iknomusic; 10-23-2008 at 02:06 PM. |
