Do not make up post tags. New releases should be tagged [FRESH], [FRESH ALBUM] (or MIXTAPE) or [FRESH VIDEO] only. [FRESH] tags should only be applied to official music & music videos, not leaks, interviews, articles, art, live footage, etc. [SHOTS FIRED] should only be used for legitimate beef, not jokes or competition among artists.

Song posts must follow the 'Artist - Title (Description)' format with 80 character or less descriptions. Hashtagged keywords & emojis in titles are not allowed.

Wanted to try somebody a little bit older this time. With 5 consecutive #1 albums on the Billboard Charts between 1998 and 2003, DMX was absolutely enormous in the late 90s. While the language in some of his songs hasn't aged great, there is no denying that he was an absolute phenomenon and a legend in the game.

Share your favorite DMX songs. Radio singles, deep cuts, amazing features, whatever you can find.

It was a mixtape song when it first dropped so you'd only hear it on radio mixshows and the mixtapes; I don't think it ever got an official release, probably due to a sample clearance

That explains a lot, because I was ~9 when that tape came out and I don't even know if I knew what rap was at that point in my life. I need to try to find some of these old mix tapes from the 90s, I'm sure there is a ton of stuff like this I've never heard.

You can find a lot of those old mixtapes on YouTube, Mixcloud, and SoundCloud
