Drag-On talks about when DMX recorded 'Damien'

[@Kev_-qm1je]

"The snake the rat the cat the dog, how you gonna see em if you livin' in the FOG"

[@LeatherFace17708]

That song is one of those classic story records and that fact that he wrote it in a hour and half is insane. True lyricist, RIP DMX!!! One of the GOATs of rap no question.

How hard is it to write a song about killing your childhood friends?

If you think about it, he’s known Damien his whole life so the words came pretty easy so it’s not surprising that he came up with something that great that quick

[@keysersoze7213]

Hour and a half = 13

[@capitalg1415]

Soon as Damien comes on it’s likes it provokes every dark feeling in you but it clears ur mind too see thru the bullshit fr

[@josephlituma8048]

yooo, beautifully said brother. Been wanting to describe the eery feeling and goosebumps I get immediately when I hear the “uh, Def Jam” and you hit it on the nail. I feel like the song speaks to both parts of my soul, the dark and the light, when otherwise usually in life one part is dominant and they just switch control between each other. So because they’re both awake, I can be aware of the darkness and use the light to make it surrender control.

[@amalizbhali4393]

"Do you like how everythings going? Do like what I gave you? You know if you was going down, I'd be the one to save you?"

[@Ril014]

The fact that he wrote such a detailed descriptive song in less than a couple hours clearly shows he was channeling something to come up with it.

[@BigSi-xw6wv]

Maybe

[@josephlituma8048]

Yeah, he was channeling childhood and addiction pain. If u read up on his life story, and even if you’ve gone through similar struggles, you would understand how sometimes the pain wants to speak and it’s up to you to give it its channel.

[@blacksuburban2410]

Different part of the brain. Singing/Rapping use different parts of the brain, so you can rap/sing without a stutter no matter how bad you stutter when you speak. Another example is how an artist with a thick accent can sing/rap without you hearing the accent at all. It’s remarkable, really.

[@7even964]

dmx's best song in my opinion

[@georgecocon3739]

Because it really happens its a real story. He was just journaling what happened a couple days before. Just couldnt tell u.

[@Lucky_Male_Bee]

"Drag-On Speaks Wit' A Stutta, But I Rhyme Well So Like A Dead Snitch, It's Hard To Tell..." I had a stutter growing up & I went through some dark times. Wouldn't go out with friends, talk to females & it held me back in life. When I found out Drag Stuttered, he became my 2nd favorite Ruff Ryder. Mine comes back every now & then but I just do my best to talk in a rhythm & remain calm.

Lol we ain't going sit here and act like X was not playing in the devils playground, there is full truth to what he meant (as far as making a deal with the devil) in the Damien songs. To many artists say similar things in they music. Of course u can't literally sell ur soul to the devil. But it's a metaphor, u live ur life in the way the devil wants, (which is not the way the true god wants) and u worship the devil and in return u get the things he gives u. For as long as he wants to keep giving...

The Omen (Damien pt 2) was the one that had Marilyn Manson in it but hes not in the credits for the song writing in none of the songs. In “The Omen” Dame Grease, Swizz Beatz, and DMX are the writers.
