God Is Dead should've been the title of this Rakim/DMX song

[Versive]

For what it's worth the God still drops some gems, but uh, yea, this is end of the world shit.

[DJCommunist]

at DMX letting it all out

Rakim doesn't sound half bad considering how god awful this song is

[EMCEE DARTH MALEK]

dude you had me expecting way worse. have you listened to the seventh seal?

[Versive]

We don't mention that album's existence, but yes, I'm taking that into consideration. On 2nd listen, verse isn't bad. It's just brought down by all of the other things going on in the song, which is a menagerie of fuckery.

dmx putting his shirt on and off during his verse over and over through the magic of editing

[DLG]

you built like a SCOOTAAA
I'm built like a HUMMAAAA

[ardamus]

So we're not pay attention to the fact that DMX is the only one sweating like he was an extra in Flashdance and doing the harlem shake in the booth in this video?

[AVENTUS]

This sounds like what would happen if:

1. Toby Keith & Axl Rose attend a 3-day rap music seminar, play lots of 8-bit NES while ski'd at the telly, and get inspired.
2. They aim to produce a track featuring historically significant artists, with a strong message, that features a CHIPTUNE lead.
3. Rakim and DMX both needed some damn money (which let's assume is true in both cases)

Meow!

:icedit:Dammit, Versive!

[Versive]

could do a MST3K for shit like this

every grey hair in dmx's beard ups his 'crazy old crackhead' score by at least a 100 points

it's like the grey in his beard accentuates ashiness you might otherwise overlook

For some added perspective on DMX's health situation, Rakim's in-studio attire included a hoodie, a bubble jacket and a beanie; X was pouring sweat in a wife beater.

[drizzle]

ehh, that could go either way. i've seen rappers rock bubble gooses in the middle of august in NY just because. although systematic unwarranted jacket rocking be more of a bay area thing where weather is different from one neighborhood to the next and it possibly actually makes some practical sense

around my way unwarranted jacket wearing is considered crackish

also, why do only white people wear shorts in the winter?

around your way being what exactly, somewhere around 93st? yea man, you get caught in an extra LLBean pullover in that hood and cats might look at you funny, maybe even snatch your oakleys (unless you got them on that rubber strap like a real finance g)

[battlecatmeowstab212]

Read the thread before watching the clip and was not disappointed.

[sleazy_j]

I'm glad they kept the sound of DMX's chain dangling in the song. Real professional stuff.

[Breeze]

Oh my fucking god. What the fuck is this shit. That was actually painful to listen to.

[Req]

[Versive]

Perhaps the scariest thing about this song is that upon seeing the title of it you might think, 'Oh shit, this could be amazing or really bad,' and then when that first guitar chord hits right at the beginning, you know it's going to be even worse than you suspected, but the Rakim verse is good enough that you continue to listen all the way through. It's not just a song, it's an experiment in self-applied psychological torture.

[sleazy_j]

seeing DMX dap the lead Apple guy is amusing. isn't X scared of computers? or was he just way coked out in that interview? or both?

But you wouldn't say the same about Large Professor's grey beard would you?

[MC Homeless]

C'mon, this isn't that bad.

[MC Homeless]

Never mind, yes it is.

does large professor have an extensive history of crackheadish behavior?
