pretty big deal.

Since megaupload is gone, I'll have to split the shit all up and re-up it in separate smaller links. Give me a little while.

:bow: Big props Verge! :bow:

I Tried to make it a little more clean & 'grouprip' looking so i renamed the folders & created a nfo, m3u, & sfv file. I also threw in the cover & added the background info that complex had for each demo in all there respectable folders.

Uploaded a bunch of mirrors so nobody will have to miss out on these gems for a long time! You could either DL in 1 single link or DL in 2 parts. The links for part 1 & 2 are interchangeable just make sure to keep them in the same folder when extracting.

Yo guys wasup

Thanks everything who have uploaded previously. Unfortunately all links are dead again.

I just learned about these demos. Would appreciate if someone can upload them to Mega.co.nz you get 50gb free and with 1 link you can share.

Thanks

I have a rip of this DMX demo as well as a few others that I got from here a couple of years back if anyone's interested.

I still wish the ATCQ demo would leak one day...

On a demo related note, does anyone have the Mood demo tape from 95? I haven't been to find a full rip anywhere. Thanks in advance to anyone who does!

Obviously if you`re not a true HiP HoP head or a fan of DMX then this probably won`t spark your interest much, however if you are then I`ve got a lil` treat for ya. What I have for your listening pleasure today is DMX`s Demo Tape from 1991-1992. Info~wise there`s not too much that I know about this demo unfortunately. So I can`t tell you who handled the production or anything like that, but I`m guessin` that these are probably some of songs that X submitted back in 1991 to The Source Magazine that ended up getting him some shine in the "Unsigned Hype" column & then shortly after that signed to Ruffhouse, a Columbia Records subsidiary where he dropped one of his first singles "Born Loser"...


Image


Bein` the HiP HoP fan that I am I`ve always been interested in hearin` rarities, unreleased songs or albums, but demos are some true gold to my ears. To me they`re DoPe because you truly get to hear the artist at their start & from that you can compare & see how they`ve matured & expanded their style (or how they fell off) over the years, especially if they become vets in the game. Anyways I added the last two tracks; "Catchin` The Same Hell" & the Stretch & Bobbito performance to this demo because they`re from the same time period & well I just wanted to hear a few more early Divine Master of the Unknown tracks....LoL


I`ll give you a lil` description of what you`ll be hearin`, oh yeah keep in mind the sound quality isn`t gon` be in HD or anything....LoL, it is what it is since most of this was more than likely ripped from a cassette. Anyway, the first interesting thing that you will or should notice immediately is that DMX doesn`t sound at all like the "It`s Dark & Hell Is Hot" X or the X of now~a~days for that matter. He sounds pretty much like any other New York emcee from that time period (1991-92), which isn`t a bad thing because he doesn`t flow weak on the mic, it`s just interesting to note...


Image


Things start off with "Three Little Pigs", a track that has X flippin` some storytellin` skills. DMX kicks the tale of the rise & fall of three characters; Polo, Guess & Goretex...named after some of the hottest designer gear at the time, pretty slick huh? "Unstoppable Force" is the next track on this demo & here X flips some rapid flows over a fast paced beat that even includes the sounds of a whip bein` cracked....LoL, funny thing is that to me X kind of sounded like he was jockin` LL Cool J`s or maybe even Big Daddy Kane`s steez on that joint...


It`s ironic in a funny way, well to me anyway.....LoL, that "Critical Condition" is the next song. Here DMX attacks weak rappers for bitin` & ish, he even mentions how K-Solo`s jockin` his style. Continuing with the K-Solo DiSSeS DMX drops "Original Author Of Spellbound". Now for those that do not know, DMX & K-Solo have beef simply because one bit the other`s style. That style of course is the 'Spellbound' style; a style of rhyming that involves the spelling out of words. Apparently both artists first met each other while in prison doing bids in the late 1980's, shortly after that (1990) K-Solo dropped "Spellbound". Now I`m not gon` get into the whole K-Solo & DMX beef thing in detail, I just wanted to briefly speak on it -- I`ll save the detailed discussion for another post. So on the "Original Author Of Spellbound" DMX takes major shots at K-Solo, he even pops a few jabs at EPMD...


The first of the 'bonus tracks' if you want to call `em that.....LoL, is "Catchin` The Same Hell" a short track clockin` in at just over 2 minutes in length from 1992 I believe. Followin` that is an appearance from Percee P & DMX on the CLaSSiC Stretch & Bobbito Show from 1991, definitely a lil` gem for y`all HiP HoP luvas, so go `head & check it out...
