DMX Quotes
"DMX" on Life: To
live is to
suffer, but to survive well that's to find meaning in the suffering
"I been around for a
minute,
but for some strange reason I kept getting passed over by
muthafuckas
that didn't have half the talent I had," DMX
said.
"That shit got frustrating, but I always say that there's a time
and place for everything."
DMX said, "An
important and
fundamental premise of the American judicial system is the presumption
of innocence - that is, until proven guilty."
"I want Flesh Of My
Flesh to
be like my connection to the community," DMX says. "I want to say
what's
on my peoples' minds, soak up all their pain. I've learned that when I
take it all in, I can make one brotha's pain be understood by the
world."
"If you think this
reality is
positive then you're wrong," DMX says, "because there are not too
many communities in the hood. there's just a bunch of individuals. But
all that matters to me is if niggas know I'm speaking for them -
because
I am them. See, I'm just starting to realize that I'm good you
know,
and realize the power I have."
"I'm comin' with a
lot of joints.
It's the same type of X shit. I mean, I always touch on different
subjects,
tell different stories, but as far as the feel of the album, it's the
same
shit. Why switch up? If it ain't broke, don't fix it. - DMX

Reviews
Rolling Stone
(11/22/01,
p.86) - 3 stars out of 5- "...DMX still has his musical
reflexes....maintaining
his
hard-rock chops on 'I'ma Bang', 'Who We Be' and 'Bloodline Anthem'..."

: And Then There Was X...
Street
Date Dec 21, 1999
NOTES
Personnel includes:
DMX, Regina
Bell, Dyme, Sisqo, The Lox, Drag-On.
Producers include:
Swizz Beatz,
P. Killer Trackz, Grease, Shok, Nokio.
Recorded at The Hit
Factory,
Miami, Florida and Power House, Yonkers, New York.
AND THEN THERE WAS X
was nominated
for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Rap Album and "Party Up" was
nominated
for Best Rap Solo Performance.
No other rapper exerts
quite
as much energy as Def Jam heavyweight DMX. With his adrenaline-pumped
hip-hop
anthems, Yonkers native DMX has taken the hip-hop industry by storm.
His
third album, AND THEN THERE WAS X came only one year after his
highly-anticipated
second album, FLESH OF MY FLESH..., which came only six months after
his
multi-platinum debut, IT'S DARK AND HELL IS HOT. With this series of
rapid-fire
releases, DMX was able to remain on the cutting edge of rap.
"What's My Name?"
perhaps most
clearly demonstrates the power of the Ruff Ryder frontman. The other
Swizz
Beatz-produced tracks bring forth more of the same flavor. His
rough-edged
lyrics and spitfire delivery will leave his "dogs" foaming at the mouth
for more. Though X is backed by one of hip-hop's most prominent crews
(the
Ruff Ryders), the platinum pit bull proves he can hold his own and then
some.

(3/00, p.256)
- 3.5 mics out of 5 - "...[DMX] hits you with that same X flow that
made
you wanna get at him in the first place. And as usual, the other side
of
his duel persona has a revealing conversation with God....his bark
calls
us...you just gotta feel."
Rolling Stone
(2/3/00,
p.58) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...he moves...with verve....DMX doesn't
stray
far from his proven formula: schizophrenic flows and
old-age-wisdom-meets-street-knowledge
buttressed by sea-chanteylike choruses..."
Q Mqagazine
(3/00, p.100)
- 4 stars out of 5 - "...Excellent. The results are thrilling: dynamic
anthemic stadium rap, plus loads of swearing..."
Entertainment Weekly
(1/14/00, pp.73-4) - "...What makes DMX so compelling is the ravaged
grain
and electric urgency of his voice - he sounds like a man who...is just
about to blow....That internal drama lends X a thematic ambition few
contemporary
rappers even bother to strive for..." - Rating: A-

: Flesh Of My Flesh... Blood Of My Blood
Street Date Dec 22,
1998
NOTES
Personnel includes:
DMX, Swizz
Beatz, Drag-On, The Lox, Jay-Z (rap vocals); Mary J. Blige, Marilyn
Manson,
Tamyra Grey (vocals); Rich Keller (guitar, keyboards, bass).

PK, Irv Gotti & Rebel, DJ SHOK, Dame Grease.
Engineers include: Rich
Keller,
Adam Gazzola.
Get at me dog! DMX
returns
with his sophomore album, FLESH OF MY FLESH BLOOD OF MY BLOOD, a
sixteen
cut collection of tracks that scream with energy and vocal prowess. In
a move that bucks the trend of collaboration-heavy albums, FLESH OF MY
FLESH BLOOD OF MY BLOOD, has only a few strategically placed
collaborations.
The Lox and Jay-Z drop science on "Blackout," while Mary J. Blige adds
her smooth R&B touch to "Coming From." Perhaps the most improbable
pairing is on "The Omen," which features Shock-turned-Glam Rocker
Marilyn
Manson. The track uses a sample from the famous horror movie of the
same
name from the late 1970's. Various producers including Swizz Beatz
("It's
All Good"), PK and Dame Grease ("Dogs For Life") handle the beats,
which
range from street hard to jazzy smooth. Overall, DMX never fails to
deliver
the goods.

- Included in The Source's "Top 10 Albums of the Year [1999]."
The Source
(3/99, p.212)
- "...marks DMX's official canonization as a ghetto saint, who has made
it loud and clear that the masses' pain becomes his pain..."
Rolling Stone (2/4/99,
p.61) - "DMX...shines, delivering a deep, intimate record that sounds
like
it was written in a confession booth..."
Entertainment Weekly
(1/15/99,
p.63) - "...As he rasps distinctively through a set of horror-show
hardcore
hip-hop, DMX's primal grooves pump as relentlessly as an AK-47 and he's
not afraid to mix it up (Mary J. Blige and Marilyn Manson make
cameos)....At
his best, he radiates a nihilistic thug charisma that rivals Tupac's."

: It's Dark And Hell Is Hot
Street Date May 19,
1998
NOTES
Personnel: DMX, Sheek,
Big
Stan, Loose, Kasino, Dragon, The Lox, Mase (rap vocals); Nardo (vocals).
Producers include: Irv
Gotti,
Lil' Rob, Swizz, PK, Dame Grease.
Engineers include:
Patrick
Viala, Justice Johnson, Rich Keller.
In 1998, DMX brings new
energy
to a laid-back hip-hop scene. While various MCs have been busy partying
and dancing, DMX has been amping himself up for a powerful debut. IT'S
DARK AND HELL IS HOT is the first full-length release from the rapper,
despite an attempt to break through in 1993. It wasn't until legendary
rap label Def Jam got a hold of him that DMX's career began to take
off.
While being featured on a number of blazing posse cuts, DMX took
hip-hoppers
to the next level with his smash single, "Get At Me Dog." With tight
production
and lyrical gymnastics, DMX puts the hardcore back into hip-hop.
REVIEWS
The Source
(7/98, p.151)
- 4 Mics (out of 5) - "...DMX raps as if he's about to explode....IT'S
DARK AND HELL IS HOT is a mind-gripping opus that fully encompasses the
appeal of one of rap's newest sensations..."
Rolling Stone
(7/9-23/98,
p.134) - 3 Stars (out of 5) - "...relies heavily on pop-y,
verse-chorus-verse
song structures more common with commercial rappers than with roughneck
MCs. DMX sidesteps the potential banality of this radio-ready
format...with
a ferocious delivery reminiscent of vintage L.L. Cool J..."
Spin (8/98,
p.143) -
6 (out of 10) - "...a psychotic concept album that celebrates bloody
style
over creative substance....DMX never shares a worldview not seen from
the
inside of a prison or from behind a blue-steel trigger..."
Q Magazine
(8/00, p.124)
- 4 stars out of 5 - "...Hard-as-nails multi-platinum 1998 debut
complete
with wall-to-wall cursing, booming beats and - scariest of all - Phil
Collins'
'In The Air Tonight' being given a good slapping..."
