Survival Of The Illest - Dmx (nyc 1998)

This is madness. He wasn’t a rapper, he was something else. He fought every demon he summoned 🙏🏿 rip x

No doubt..... He was an entity

I'm not embarrassed to admit I'm fcking crying like a child. X for life 🙅‍♂️

What you crying for??? You crying over somebody u didn't know smh

X was and is special, NOBODY did it like him at all. Was never the second Pac he was always himself the one and only. RIP X we love and miss you....All Dogs Go to Heaven

[@GodFist215]

One of the best ever🔥

[@ducatarina]

he never was the second Pac

[@alexm2930]

There are a lot of comment that state Nobody did like him or has. But in this case it's a 100% correct. Even the way he managed to mess up was pretty unique.

[@HardMode..]

I think a lot of the comparisons to 2pac comes from the fact DMX had the same kind of energy and presence on stage and in person, there was just something special about them both and there was never a feeling of them putting on an act or being fake etc. In saying that I lost a lot of respect for DMX just the way he went out and how his own choices hurt himself and the people around him. But I will always have respect for who he once was. I hope they will one day make a movie of his life that does him justice, so he can be remembered for the time his flame burned real bright

[@ronaldjames7843]

He's the first X not the second Pac. Both of them were different individuals & had their own styles.

[@youngcasanova306]

That's my mans and them.

[@araynova]

You knowwwwwwwww

[@meti9230]

Where's my dogs atttttttt???? Grrrrrrrr

[@jaysonovo4778]

I love how that girl who hopped up on stage to hug DMX was allowed to hug him and hop back down! That's so cool. Shit changed as the world got crazier, and people killed artists on stage like that.

[@jakubheliniak1156]

R.I.P Imagine....just imagine X and Pac on the stage togheter! THAT energy!!!

[@SkarKingg]

Maybe but X didn't need anyone on stage with him as X energy was unparalleled

Yea this generation of rap would never.

[@johnfraleee]

Bought this album when I was like 9. Funny thing is now that I’m 31, I realized how amazing the entire album is. Very dark album but paints a very good picture. Love the convo, Damian, and stop being greedy. Sad he doesn’t get the credit he deserves. He was one of the hottest rappers ever right out the gate.

[@SkarKingg]

Impressed you had money at 9, i was 13 in 2000 working on the weekends for cash under the table when I bought Country Grammer being my first rap CD and then Flesh of my Flesh Blood of my blood at Walmart because I thought the CD cover was cool and since then have always put X on the top of my list

[@jaysonovo4778]

No, he grew up. When men get to be middle age, they 100% have lower energy. Let's not pretend DMX at age 50 was the same as DMX at age 24.

[@michaelsantoro170]

Prayers for this dude. He had unprecedented energy

[@LiL-D..909]

Dmx knows what he’s doing if you notice he never cuffs the mic doesn’t hold it too close to his face to sound more crisp x is a legend

danIE2335 what do you mean?

[@lonewolf7912]

babyspudzable it so u don't sound distorted

[@babyspudzable]

Lone Wolf you saying the way he holding the mic is making his voice raspy?

[@lastonestanding1641]

Jeez, Why do everybody compare with 2Pac? 2Pac was 2Pac and DMX was DMX

[@jaysonovo4778]

Nah, that's some fucking bullshit to call him the second tupac... They aren't remotely similar, aside from both rapping in the hardcore sound (only sometimes for Pac, and mostly his last posthumous album) DMX was the best hardcore rapper ever. Tupac was a much more socially aware rapper who followed trends, and made tracks about politics. DMX wasn't so political... More raw hiphop with less about social issues and the he world, more about personal struggles in life. . Please don't claim DMX is the second tupac lmao... He's the first and only DMX, and tupac is the first and only tupac.
