Jay from the street too but his style is more on that flashy shit not as grimy. Don't get it twisted tho Jay can put out some hard shit here n there. Feelin it and in my life time remix was ill

You obviously don't know addicts. If he didn't have any coke in his system he wouldn't be rappin. You can't just stop and be fine. I've been to detox four times for my drinking problem and the coke heads can barely move when they are coming off it. Give them about a week and they are alright and in another week they are functional again but it isn't something you just pick up and put down and expect to be functional.
+Hanz Flackshnack that ain't coke ur talking about opiets like heroin oxy or morphine ext ,,, cocaine doesn't have withdrawn it's a brain. drug u crave it that's all
Sammy Dasilva I am in fact talking about cocaine. You're correct that the physical withdrawals aren't like opiates. My roommate in detox had to sleep for about 16 hours a day. He only got up to eat or drink water. That's a fact
Came back after X recent death. The guy was a complete legend. Jay Z even knew in this video he can’t compete with that. X demons he never could overcome but at the same time it’s what provided he’s greatest outlet. RIP Earl, you will always be the GOAT in my eyes
X had that Pac energy where when he rapped, you felt him to your spine, and you did because he had the charisma, energy, and realness that's far beyond great lyricism alone.
When x started off with "yo, moves is made".I had chills. He really knows how to capture the moment And paint a picture with words and tonality. Nasty skills!

And it will only get worst because these new age rappers don't pay homage let alone acknowledge how great these rappers are and how they paved the way for this current generation
It's not really the rappers that are the problem with mainstream media. It's the companies that control what type of art is expressed on the radio. That's what is and has been going on.
Just a couple of friends hanging out showing their rap skills. No hate in that room just respect for each other. May X rest in peace. His freestyle ability was something else.

Jay Z had that pretty boy upscale good rich flow, DMX had that real imbedded street flow, X delivery was to much it cancelled Jay Z out the frame
Jay from the street too but his style is more on that flashy shit not as grimy. Don't get it twisted tho Jay can put out some hard shit here n there. Feelin it and in my life time remix was ill
Actually those lyrics from DMX and Jay were from songs they did. It wasn’t a freestyle or a rap battle.
Pretty boy? Rich? Lmao he's a billionaire now but he wasn't back then
@@The808Mixmaster agree! X is gutta & Jay was on a biggie type of flow
"Throw the competition out and let the dough flow in" - Jay-Z. I see what he meant now after what happened with X at Defjam

Had me way too hype 😤
Smother your ass and put 2 threw the pillow! ~ whoa

The white guy behind DMX actually kills me everytime his expression is priceless hahaha
Didn't even realise he was there till I read this comment 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jay Z was very good, especially back then. He was a very good lyric writer and rhymer.
DMX had the pronunciation and flow that just grabbed your attention though.
The 3rd brother was ILL though, just couldn't hear him properly but the look on Xs face tells me he was spitting some fire.
It was. X’s flow and delivery that won it. His lines weren’t even that hot, but he made them hot, if that makes sense
@@williamdavid9272energy is what saved it with Tupac cadence in there also
i respect x cuz his flow was his own
Anthony Curanaj he bit some of pac style, just not as hard as ja rule. Dmx didn’t sound anything like that in older raps

X always reminded me of Rakim

Jay Z is awful
I actually liked the verse jay spit
Vlad The Impaler yeah ......the full version lmaooooooo
I didn’t even notice that but real shit
dmx all the way
A lot of dudes be talking about Dmx on drugs he fell off but you never hear nobody saying x can’t rhyme though
Or tried him like a dope head ..I think because they knew that Dog will bite lol. Love X

Jay Z feared that man X ..... seeing as though he blackballed his last album when J became President of Def Jam
100% Jay is a sucker
