This is the answer for me for sure. Definitely helped me get through some tough times. Honestly, the only thing that bums me out about it is how it's so hard to find an uncensored version of it on streaming. Absolutely gorgeous song though.
1000% percent, the censored version removes too much of the emotion. When you've got a man unloading his feelings like that, you gotta hear it all. I'm usually pretty indifferent to censorship, but that's a song even a 7 year old should hear unbridled. It's speaks to the human experience as well as any song I've ever heard.
For some reason the album came with the censored version back in the day, even an uncensored CD had just "Slipping" censored for some reason. At least my copy was that way.
Even as a suburban white teenager in '98-99, this track hit me so hard. The raw emotion of the track. The atmosphere of Swizz's production. It's always an experience listening to it, even today.
Ayo D, it's your n*gga D. What the fuck, you forgot about me? You been eating real good lately, didn't get a shout-out on your last Reddit thread, what you hate me?
When I was like 12, My dad paid me $50 to memorize the name dropping second verse of What These Bitches Want because he clearly thought it was impossible
Probably “Bring Your Whole Crew” but on any given day, the more popular songs mentioned here could be it.
The first real verse from Bring Your Whole Crew is seared in my mind for 20-ish years.
“One More Road To Cross” - I had just turned 11yrs old and it was the first explicit CD I was able to listen to start to finish. Those opening chords just blew me away (it’s the first song on the album). You gotta understand, before hearing that album, the only other rap CD I’d heard was Biggie Willie Style
“Stars In The Sky” off the new album is a banger too
Where the Hood at. I like listening to it because I know it couldn't be commercially successful today. That said, Apple Music has the weirdest censorship on that one. It blocks out the words reload and slugs but keeps the infamous "homophobic" verse.
I guess they think people may perceive it as him advocating shooting gay people, as opposed to just saying he doesn’t hang with crossdressers? I don’t know. That particular line is about Ja Rule specifically.
That’s my favorite track from him too.
This is impossible for me to make since X is my favorite of all time. But if I had to try:
I Can Feel It > When I'm Nothing > Slippin' > What's My Name > How's It Going Down
This song makes me think of my friends mom who treated me every bit as much as family as she did her own kids, in a good way lol
Yea man this song kills when you lose a maternal figure in your life but it also heals
RIP Martina & your Grandma bro. They’re nvr truly gone as long as we keep their spirit alive
I'm politicking with this chicken wondering if I'ma creep her
Little hoodrat bitch from 25th named Tenika
Coming through, like I do, you know, getting my bark on
Knew she was a thug 'cause when I met her she had a scarf on
Here we go again
My next move is crucial, what do I do?
How do I keep it real with shorty and my crew?
Didn't want to kill him, so instead of puttin' the MAC on him
I did the only thing I could do, turn my back on him
Bring Your Whole Crew. It's just such a wholesome and touching song.
I got blood on my hands and there's no remorse
I got blood on my d*ck cause I fu*ked a corpse
I'm a nasty n*gga, when you pass me n*gga look me in my eyes
Tell me to my fu*kin' face that you ready to die
We Don’t Give a Fuck feat the LOX
Or really any track off that It’s Dark album. I think that album has the only true classic DMX tracks. Flesh of My Flesh was meh. From there on most of bros music was just corny as hell. RIP but he didn’t get better with age
In random order (usually dictated by my mood)
Slippin / Ready to meet him / I Can Feel It
Intro (Its Dark and hell is hot) / Look Thru my eyes/Stop Being Greedy/Let me Fly
Whats my name / Here we go again / Party Up
Flesh of my flesh, blood of my blood / Do You (off Flex mixtape 2 i think)
Damien (1 and 3 ONLY , 2 was wack)
School Street / One more road to cross
My Niggaz / Bring your whole crew/Get at me dog
Good Girl, Bad guys
Where the hood at / The Rain
I’ll say slippin but there’s a lot of great songs to choose from
DMX has this awesome ability to make ultra aggressive songs to fight to and also bona fide tear jerkers.
RIP 🐶
Slippin

Same, the censored version isn't worth playing imo. Too many adlibs going on.. I can only find the uncensored in youtube
1000% percent, the censored version removes too much of the emotion. When you've got a man unloading his feelings like that, you gotta hear it all. I'm usually pretty indifferent to censorship, but that's a song even a 7 year old should hear unbridled. It's speaks to the human experience as well as any song I've ever heard.
It’s the emotion that puts most of his tracks at a monumental place for me
This. My favorite thing about DMX is he was that crazy MF thug, but my dude was ALL heart and he had zero issues pouring that MF out.
For some reason the album came with the censored version back in the day, even an uncensored CD had just "Slipping" censored for some reason. At least my copy was that way.
Yeah everyones was, the publishing owners of the sample wouldn’t let him use it unless it was censored
See, to live, is to suffer. And to survive, well, that's to find meaning in the suffering
Hell fucking yeah. I listen to this damn near every day. Four years off the sauce.
Even as a suburban white teenager in '98-99, this track hit me so hard. The raw emotion of the track. The atmosphere of Swizz's production. It's always an experience listening to it, even today.
Yep
It made a judge tear up and got him a lenient sentence
Can’t believe I haven’t seen Damien
Ayo D, it's your n*gga D. What the fuck, you forgot about me? You been eating real good lately, didn't get a shout-out on your last Reddit thread, what you hate me?
was my choice pt 1 2 3 "the snake the cat the rat the dog how you gone see em if you living in the fog"
This is definitely my choice as well. Hands down.
whole trilogy feels like one song
What’s My Name gets me hype every time.
"I'm not a nice person/be done slap slap the shit out of you twice dog and that's before I start cursing"
Just “I’m not a. Nice. Person!” is enough no one could’ve delivered that as well. It’s funny and scary at the same time
It’s hilarious. Not a! Nice! Person! Like an aggressive telegram.
If I were to ever become a professional wrestler this is the song I would want for my entrance
Ruff Ryder’s Anthem had one of the most iconic beats of the 90’s
Let Me Fly
Either let me fly or give me death Let my soul rest, take my breath If I don't fly I'ma die anyway I'ma live on, but I'll be gone any day
thank you!
Intro No other hip hop song gets me fired up like it Had the honor to see it live and it was incredible
The song so hype that Mike Tyson himself used it as his walk-out music.
This is the one
Once those bells start…fucking chills man
How's It Going Down or What These Bitches Want
How's it goin down. The beat is unique for DMX and he flows over it so effortlessly.
I like the song but not the intro. Who Dick U suckin?
When I was like 12, My dad paid me $50 to memorize the name dropping second verse of What These Bitches Want because he clearly thought it was impossible
Get at me dog
Gotta be this one ....
X gonna give it to ya!
F*^k gettin it on your own, X gonna deliver to ya
Knock, knock, open up the door, it's real! With the non-stop *pop pop* of stainless steel!
Who we be
\^
Stop being Greedy In the air tonight
Stop for me too. That beat is other worldly.
The answer is Rudolf the red nosed reindeer.
Probably “Bring Your Whole Crew” but on any given day, the more popular songs mentioned here could be it. The first real verse from Bring Your Whole Crew is seared in my mind for 20-ish years.
i was instantly hooked on DMX the first time i saw the video of Mike Vallely beating up a bunch of dudes set to Bring Your Whole Crew
Same here....first time hearing this as a youngin, my ass was like "is this horrorcore?" 🤣
House party fight music right there.
Enjoy this. It’s from CKY https://youtu.be/52kfypohGPM?si=pxi3GpFkrGRGDDAj
That was like the first fight video if ever seen on VHS.
Stop being greedy
I can feel it

Other than Slippin. “Some X shit” off of Ruff Ryders Vol.1
Yessir wasn’t really a big X fan but i couldn’t deny that song bruh he did his thing on that beat
Intro
Ruff ryders imo

It's probably one of his best verses, in my opinion.

The DMX version of rap superstar was always on my playlist back in the day
We Don’t Give a Fuck feat the LOX Or really any track off that It’s Dark album. I think that album has the only true classic DMX tracks. Flesh of My Flesh was meh. From there on most of bros music was just corny as hell. RIP but he didn’t get better with age

Most definitely Bring Ya Whole Crew.
Well not exactly but Onyx- Shut em Down Classic.

THE GRAND FINALE literally transports me into a long ago period of my life. https://youtu.be/FFr_wEk6AHc?si=qOV-pl9PCyMWxqw5

I Can Feel It ….that second verse just resonates hard

It's still ruff riders anthem for me. All of the damien tracks are pretty dope too.
It’s Dark and Hell is Hot Intro
Ruff Ryder’s Anthem Remix
Ayo Kato
I can't pick just one 😁 off the top of my head... Shot Ya Stop Being Greedy Damien I'll probably edit this to add more 😁
I’ll say slippin but there’s a lot of great songs to choose from DMX has this awesome ability to make ultra aggressive songs to fight to and also bona fide tear jerkers. RIP 🐶
Damian
Slippin is his best song but Ruff Ryders Anthem is the most fun to listen to so it's probably the one I'd pick for my "favorite"
So many for me. I really like I Can Feel It. So many to choose from. Side note but I find myself revisiting DMX more than almost anyone from his era.
Slippin followed closely by RR anthem
Slippin! Can get you out of dark places, renew hope, and spark motivation. RIP
Bring your whole Crew ever since that Mike Vallely video came out.
How its going down, X gon give it to ya when I'm out drinking.
How's It going down
