Mike Tyson used that intro for his ring entrance. 🔥🔥🔥

➡DMX dropped his first 2 albums the same year (1998), 7 months apart, and they both went to #1, and both went Triple Platinum!...🎵🎤👍🏼
🔹1.) It's Dark and Hell Is Hot  🔹2.) Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood

All-time classic. And yes that X singing on the choruses.

Yeah bro this is my favorite album 🔥

ATF stands for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. It's a federal law enforcement agency.

He was speaking as himself that's why the song is called X is coming

📍Damien is a fictional character on the song that represents the devil. / It was one of DMX story telling songs about good and evil, fame and fortune, etc.

Coldest introduction to the rap game EVER, when that first song comes on .....

Great album! I remember waiting hours to download 1 song…… but it was worth it

Someone named Young Lord did the background vocals on Let Me Fly

34:05 get yo dunies back here

Bro where’s the last song on the album with Mase & the Lox?!?! It’s literally the hardest song on the whole thing!!😅

And this how gen x grew up 🫡 👑 😆

So all I can say about the "X Is Coming" track without defending it, but from what I know. The concept of the song is based off of the movie "A Nightmare On Elm Street" and it's a Freddy Krueger reference, (his backstory iykyk). And X (his darker ego) wrote it from a battle state of mind, meaning that all 3 verses were battle raps type of rhymes, of him saying some sadistic 💩, because that version of him didn't give af. No different than Eminem when he's Slim Shady, saying some wild 💩.

But yeah that's the only song on the album that I don't listen to anymore, because I'm older and mature. I'm not judging him nor excusing him for it either, because it was a different era.

Also, to put your mind at ease about Damien, DMX is having a conversation with the devil in disguise that makes all of these promises of money, women, & power. But in return, it meant doing favors by shedding blood and doing foul things for his benefits. This entire album pretty much teaches that "selling your soul" is just a metaphor. He signed the contract and got the fame, but it didn't stop him from exposing the industry and making sure that his faith was with God in the end of it 💯💯✝️🙌🏾

What is this? It's why X knows what Hell looks like. It's why he was as damned as Baba Yaga. X was a Boogie Man build

Брат а есть реакция на Эминем мокингбирд?И да.Русские тебя тоже смотрят.

Styles P - I'm a ruff ryder

It's dark and hell is Hot. the first CD I ever bought. I was probably in 7th or 8th grade I played the s*** out of that album, and the second one too.
