If you weren’t around during this era, you have no idea how this album changed the feeling of the game. Everything went back to being gritty again. This was that ‘get punched in the face’ music.

[@ibeberger]

Irv Gotti has talked in interviews about showing this video to the execs and them *hating* this video because they didn't understand how the black and white with an aggressive ass strobe was representing the infamous energy going on at The Tunnel.

This was originally supposed to be a 2pac diss track as well. This was during the eastcoast westcoast beef & DMX hasn't came out yet but at that point X wanted to defend New York & he was young & hungry. The album version he changed up the lyrics & removed the 2pac line after he died.

This song kinda elevated Canadian Hip Hop a little, cause Rascalz (feat Checkmate, Choclair Kardinal Ofishall and Thrust) did a song called Northern Touch with the same beat before DMX. So when DMX did that song it brought attention to the Canadian hip hop classic. Great song by the way, a reaction to it would be dope someday

This was the first single of his debut album, Its Dark & Hell Is Hot but he already had a buzz in the streets with features on other rappers songs (such as Yayo Felony’s “Watcha Gonna Do” also featuring Method Man, Mase’s “24 Hours To Live” also featuring The Lox & Black Rob, The Lox’s “Money Power & Respect” also featuring Lil Kim, “Grand Finale” also featuring Method Man & Nas from the Belly soundtrack, and LL Cool J’s “4,3,2,1” also Method Man, Redman, and Canibus). This video was actually shot while he performed live at The Tunnel. The white dude you see there at The Tunnel sticking out like a sore thumb is Lyor Cohen (then President of Def Jam Recordings). He signed X that same night after watching him perform.

[@KtotheG]

First time I heard X was on a Mic Geronimo song back in '95... "Time to Build," with Jay Z and Ja Rule, as well. Ja Rule actually had the best verse on that song. X's underground singles in '96 were hot, too.

[@MyDogSteppedOnaBeee]

This whole album you can listen to literally every single song and not skip one it is that good. Some artists albums not always. He dissed K Solo on this song. Tyson used to walk out to the ring to his intro song on this album. Every time I hear DMX I want to run 10 miles or workout really hard in the gym. His energy and voice gets me so amped. He doesn't get his due props and he actually has bars too. At the tunnel they will jack your shit you had to watch your back there lot's of goons and grimey mofos, no joke. He sampled a song from EPMD for this song. Thanks X for leaving us with so many gems your legacy and spirit lives on RIP King, one of kind 🙏🕊

DMX is the only rapper to release two albums same year and both went platinum and in top 20 at same time

Man I used to be at the Tunnel damn near every Sunday. The night they shot this video was soooooo packed that they weren’t letting just anybody in.

When X first came on the scene i always felt like he was filling the void left from Pac passing away, not that there rapping style was similar but just from his whole street vibe and his look, i think he owed a lot of his initial success to that factor, obviously over time he built his own legacy but in the very beginning it was different

[@dboslice]

That just goes to show you what a warrior and how fearless X was. He had his music video in the tunnel and telling niggas to "Get At Me Dog." He was on a mission being from the streets to be heard and it was a success. We heard him and we love him for being honest from the start. So you definitely right, it'll never be another DMX. Just cheap imitations and they'll never be as good as the original 💯💯🔥🔥🔥🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🙏🙏. Also Fun Fact about the Tunnel: Vin Diesel used to be a security guard at the tunnel. And according to Busta Rhymes, he used to break a lot of dudes faces and run in their pockets after lol. The power of "Family" was activated 🤣🤣🤣
