Slippin' - DMX (REACTION! by metalheads)

[@steveo1483]

This song has saved 1000s of lives if not millions. That's a fact

Opening up on a record about substance abuse is tremendously brave because his not glorify drug use but rather accept that in fact it almost ruined his life

DMX is an acquired taste Very Very Raw street culture......you can only appreciate DMX if you have gone thru all the phases of rap: old school, gangsta rap, and pop rap. And then after all that, you can fully appreciate DMX....p.s. DMX's flows are legendary as good as Tupac's flows

@83rdox im a full blown hipphop head but I also listen to pop techno classical music 80s music country punk rock pop rock and what not .

@That one guy,,, Well I guess I might be the exception. I'm 62 and grew up on top 40. That includes R+B, CW, BLUEGRASS, ROCK. EVERYTHING under the top 40 umbrella, pop, classical music also. I LOVE, LOVE Michael Jackson, Tupac and X. But my taste is across the board. J Joplin, Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, Temptations, Bee Gees, EWF, Isley Brothers. My list is VAST. I glad for my top 40 past. Good music is GOOD MUSIC.

[@tonyo.r6585]

You don’t have to relate to another persons struggle. The point is the struggle. Everyone has gone through something at some point. It’s about getting back on your feet afterwards. Don’t try to put yourself in his shoes.

[@edog5302]

This track has got me through some dark times

[@robbingrafton4364]

Don’t identify listen to his story, it’s his story empathize, never been thru but I feel ya DMX🙋🏽‍♀️🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@damnthisuser]

Never heard anyone not empathize with the lyrics. The dude is a bit of a void! U can't get more expressive than DMX.

[@pointsur67]

He is basically telling you the story of his early life. It's basically a talking book. Even if you are not from that world, his words are cut-and-dry be enough for you to understand.

[@bobby111]

Do ''DMX & Faith Evans-I miss you''. It's a song about his grandma, real emotional stuff :)

[@Diane-xh7vl]

DMX wrote about his life that's more powerful then most music, love DMX from day 1 . Truth speaks volumes to me.

[@dandillinger23]

This is about the struggle of life. So relatable to many people in different ways. If you've never had to struggle consider yourself extra blessed.

[@MambaForever--]

That’s fair Dmx has lived a crazy life with a lot of tragedy it’s hard too relate but he is one of the greatest rappers his lyrics always have meanings it’s not like now a day when they rap with no purpose This song helped me so much

One of my favorite dmx songs this song definitely got me through a tough time in my life when my dad passed away glad y’all gave him a chance by listening to this song

[@reggiebrown9508]

X was in a couple of movies in the early 2000s but you've never seen them.

[@kahronwinston5599]

You don’t necessarily have to relate exactly to what he’s saying but life is a struggle, in my opinion humans should get out of our comfort zones every day to succeed, and sometimes that’s a struggle lol...doesn’t have to be his exact line by line quotes. But nice reaction!

This is literally the first time me hearing the explicit version. Not that this song didn't have a lot of impact before, but I feel the words that were bleeped definitely added to the emotion that was felt.

X Is a Beast No One Living in the Hip Hop World can mess with Him X was the first & Only Artist Ever to have 2 double cds out at the same time & they both went Platinum X is Double R.

[@Rimiler]

I’m white man in my mid thirties who was a, “white boy” growing up in the south during the 90’s. My first music genre of choice was obviously 90’s rock and metal. All the typical bands you could think of. Furthermore, I was raised by a mother and father which were both natives of Yonkers. The same city in which X was from. Being introduced to rap music in late elementary school. I loved it just like I did the rock music of these times. Moreover, I can assure you that not just X and rap music itself, but this song specifically played a pivotal role in changing my own life years later in early manhood. At 24 years old, I was at rock bottom myself. It was time for me to man up and fix my life. I’d gotten sober, and it took a few years, but as of today I’ve been eight to nine years clean now. To this day forward, Slippin’ is a song that still gives me goosebumps, and in many times still tears to my yes. To this, all I listen to’s the same 90’s rock and rap which I’d grown up on. There’s nothing else which could ever take its place. All the classics of this era stay on repeat. All day and every day while I’m at work grinding.

[@ryanramsey3741]

As someone that grew up poor, having a mother that was verbally abusive, and then hanging with a clique that was going in the wrong directions ( gang banging) I can heavily relate to this on many levels. I also developed a coke addiction in college and just didn't give a shit anymore feeding my addiction in just about anyway grimy. Im clean now and have a son and a wife but it took a lot to get on my feet.

[@atomicsmokes663]

this song is everything that ive been feeling the past year now R.I.P DMX

Greatest live performance from DMX ever was at Woodstock 99 before Korn the stage that same weekend followed by a plethora of other awesome 90’s metal bands.

[@mattdeacon9580]

"So if it takes for me to suffer for my brother to see the light. GIVE ME PAIN 'TIL I DIE. But please Lord, treat him right." DMX There never has been or will be another rapper like DMX.

U changed my life...i head this song in 1999 in a friend's house for the first time and I said to him this man qinging will be a great great artist that will touch many people worldwide and he laughed at me because he knew i wasn't a hip hop Fan. But spiritually i was moved by the melancholic of his genre 😢 dmx made me to start listening to hip-hop/rap I began to listen to his musics and news highlight years upon years ,when DMX released "last hope"undisputed , After all his incarceration from the music industry and prison... illuminati? I felt something strange inside of my heart as if he was going to die soon...through my personal vision i told with know i told many hundred of friends and fans that Exodus was to be dmx latest release and when they asked me why i told them is the qame theory with makaveli tattoo and the description and meaning of this speaks by themselves bc of the live time and struggle significantly...thank you all for supporting his legacy 😢

[@lizandromendoza8439]

Dmx is one of hip hop's saddest story. 3 times platinum rapper and for a while he seemed like he would solidify himself as a mainstay in hip hop but his drug problem overcame him and he has never fully recovered

He is still alive, his story is not over.

When Pac and Biggie went down, hip hop was missing something. Jay Z made Hardknock Life (crossover hit for him at that time) but Jay wasn't it. Pac and Biggie left a huge hole, but when DMX that was it. This man was a breath of fresh air. X made us feel again with songs like this and his others. I was going through things, Pac was the one I'd listen to, when he died I didn't stop listening to his music but it hurt. "Slippin" helped me and so many others , we related to X because he was coming from a real place. When he did his PRAYER! AH MAN I wish you guys could hear it, it helped make him the legend he is today in spite of his trouble. God given talent, he still has it.

DMX early in his rap career was still doing street stuff while trying to get on.

[@scawface8053]

This song is the soundtrack to my life and therefore very dear to me. DMX is my #2 pick for best rapper of all time. Changing the subject, I just wanted to give some of my thoughts. First, use headphones. When we engineer music we do it on everything. From club subs, to monitors, to u-hauls with one 3" tweeter. But the main focus is headphones as music is consumed 82% of the time by headphones. Music can touch your soul when being enveloped in it. That's why clubs, concerts and headphones are so popular. You don't just need to listen to the music, you need to experience it. Second, I would get a backdrop. Or spice up what you have. I like you guys and think you're a cute couple. If you keep it up, I can picture you in 3 years and it's vastly different. I see the potential. Just have fun with it. Best of luck.

[@fleamarketmixtape3793]

i got dmx's ,biography for xmas one year and i wish i still had it, it was a good read. i recommend anyone in the comments to pick it up. and there is a dmx in every hood, when you been around this kind of stuff its def easier to understand. the part about the bloody knife doesn't mean he absolutley killed someone it just means his perspective or attitude kept him in situations that a bloody knife and other similar things were the end result.

Love seeing people expand their horizons. I literallt love all music from metal to underground hip hop to opera and I hate when people automatically disregard music as.talentless or trash based on bigotry. I love these videos and if up need ideas for hip hop . songs outside of the pop culture like Lil Wayne and Drake to do, such as 90s stuff hit me up

[@labrat6281]

It not your life but he is talking about what his life and a lot of African American lives are like in the ghetto. So when you here about things going on or your trying to understand why certain people act a certain way, this is kind of like watching in on a therapy session with a man from the streets who grew up with nothing and found his way to prosperity despite the struggles
