The building We're back. It is the Daxe 6. DJ. What's going on? But a long time, no talk, long time, no, listen. I know, I know. But everything's starting to open up

and we couldn't get together to get this shit together. It is what it is. I kind of missed some opportunities and then Castle tried to come down and I was like, no, I don't come to anyway. We're here. Who gives a shit?

It's time to re-record. We had a little bit of an unplanned hiatus, but we are back with y'all. are about to give it to you like X, which brings me to this. You done lost a legend, Justin, now. Yeah, I mean, you know, we lost somebody. Damn, you're coming right in with that.

You know me in death, dude. If I don't have a connection to the motorbike, if I don't have, if I didn't eat dinner with them and have a conversation with them, or really feel of something of, like, value with the person, it's like, you know, everybody dies. I don't want to, I don't have a certain level of like, hmm, you're right.

Lost another one. I don't know. I just never had that. Although it's sad. Yes, he had family, had 15 kids from nine different women. A lot of people that looked up to him probably took his money from his life. You know, yes, sad day. But I don't know.

You know me and death, dude. I don't know. Justin comes on the track swinging. Real quick, do you say he have 15 kids? 15 kids, nine different women. Yeah. Nine different women? Yeah.

Yeah, apparently he had extramarital affairs, many of which ended in children. Look, at a certain point, I understand that there are situations. where there's women that are trying to find a way to get your kid once you're like a rich rap or something. But at a certain point, like, I got to look at the guy and be like, there's something, I think it's something you're doing, dude. Yeah, you just, he didn't care. Learn a little pull-up. He's got money. I got money.

I got 10 of it. I got some dogs. I got some dogs. What's up? Yeah. We'll probably going to do that all episode. Because, uh, it's going to be a lot of DMX in presence. If there's one thing you know, since we've been watching DMX is we all get into the dog.

And we got to do it. And I, I go. I go. I, I, I, I'm going. I got to say, it's top three favorite people to impersonate. And I got to be honest, it gets you hype. It gets you hype. You can't come in on Rough Riders' Anthem without get a little bit of like.

It's a great song to listening before you got a ballgame to play, before you've got a fight to do. You're just going out for a run. You're like, get you, like, just bouncing. Like, ah, here we go. There's no. Stop. Drop.

Yeah. Shut out of my, stop. Which, as you're going into it, let's go ahead and say, what the hell. I've always never knew what the hell you're talking about. Stop, drop, like people are shooting at you. I don't know. Shut. open up shop.

Like are you opening up a department store? You have people coming in. Got a little bakery game plan, you know? You're going to start your own business on the corner. And who's he shutting down? Is he having to shut somebody down to then open up his shop? I don't understand what's happening as far as. Can we take it back even before that?

Because the very beginning of this track has this little like, and I listen to that all the time as a kid. And I'm like, what the fuck is that? Yeah, but awesome. I just, I clicked it with my tongue every single time I heard it when I was coming on. Like it just gets, it's like the little like gets you ready. but like not once that I ever noticed is he shaking up a spray can is it like a lighter thing or he's like yeah is it a pack of cigarettes like what's your guess what is that sound i feel like he just like the

sound of because i don't know if that i don't think i guess that i feel like it's supposed to be something you're right i have no idea i never even thought to put something on that i just like it was some guy before he said but he started to saw you guys three two and if my internet wasn't tripping i would search what is the sound at the beginning of vmx but i do believe the x is legend. I grew up listening to his music and, you know, I got like hyped all through high school listening to his jams. So I just think, and he's somebody that did it over a period of time where he probably had about like five or six albums in a tight period of time. Like he had quick turnaround with his albums. But if he put out an album, there was going to be a new jam on

there that was getting you hyped like through the summer every time. So because of that, I think he's a legend of his craft and, you know, gone too soon, just literally passed away a couple days ago at the age of 50. So in honor of Mr. DMX, aka Earl Simmons, we are going to do a little trip down the discography lane of the one and only DMX. All right.

And just so we know, this is one of those songs as we grow up, you know, in the 90s and you're listening to all these songs. A lot of the rappers would use the N-word numerous times throughout the rap, and you would just wrap the entire rap. and I still to this day Like you know in my car

Or sometimes when I'm doing karaoke I have to slip it in there But for the most part We're not allowed I'm Puerto Rican castle Is of Caucasian descent And definitely not It's just one of those words

That I can't Maybe pull off a little more But still can't It's like in every fifth word On a DMX list Yeah We just gonna have to work around When we do it

We're just gonna simply change the word Two homies That's it That's it Keep a simple I can fuck with that Homies won't try And homies want to lie

These homies want to die I always want to die. See, it works. So what is he saying right there, though? You know, don't lie, you're going to die. I mean, pretty simple. I feel like a lot of DMX's lyrics actually are we going to find this out. I think a lot of it comes down to like around the hood warfare.

You know what I mean? Like how to like get to like what he said, stop, drop. I'm imagining this is that during a drive-by or something. Shut them down, open up shop. Yeah, so that means like get posted, get behind something. And now get to your place where you got to look. location where it's good for you to start open up shop. Like,

oh wow, that's deep. Yeah. Okay. And then, so basically from like I said, the first lyric, if you lie,

you die. All I know is pain. All I feel is rain. How can I maintain the shit that's on my brain? I don't think we got to that part of the song yet. No, no, that's the second barrier. We'll get through it.

I just want to preempt to it. All right. We're up to it now. Oh, yeah. So, you know, he's in a rough world.

Like, I think everything you're saying. This very next line is, I resort to violence. my homies didn't move in silence so yeah you're right man this man just ready for war in the in the streets we haven't even like introduced it but this is the rough raters anthem which i feel like is the dmx anthem it's really the song that put him on the map in his first album it's dark and hell is hot which is not the coolest uh album name i just feel like it's like

a sentence and it doesn't really like make sense like aesthetically it's dark and hell yeah okay like i don't know i feel like maybe he was trying to get poetic but it didn't really like work out. I have a feeling he didn't name it. Like somebody on his team named it and he didn't worry about that shit. He was just into the... And by the way, when we're talking about DMX's background, I was just reading up on him. He had a fucked up upbringing.

His mom beating his ass. He had like multiple boyfriends that were beating the shit out. I'm like, yeah, he knocked his teeth out with a broom. He got hit by a car by a drunk driver. And his ass did some crazy so he was still. Yeah, no. Yeah, exactly. So like, when you get brought up that way from such a young age, like

he was literally living in a project housing in Yonkers, New York. And when you get brought up that way with like, such like nothing, like literally nothing is given into. You got to start thinking like, dude, I got to do what the fuck I got to do to survive. And like, you know, you start like,

and a lot of that shit. He would start stealing from shit. He would try carjacking. A lot of it found him's way into jail. So he had that upbringing that, you know, I think when you hear a lot of these rappers came up around that time, had a similar upbringing.

He was literally started by rapping on the corners in New York, which is the exact same upbringing that big he had right around that same time. So it's interesting to think that at different corners, you could have walked around to go to Brooklyn and you see Biggie, you go to Yonkers, you see DMX. That's where hip hop really started. And a lot of the legends came from. So let's not to overtog her. Let's get back into the jam, though.

But it does set up the scene as to a lot of what we're going to hear from the DMX. And I just want to add one more because we're going to let it ride here for a second, because we got a lot of music to get through with DMX. But this next line, there's one line that is one of my favorites since I was a kid. What the fuck you going to do when we run up on you. Fucked up with the wrong crew. Don't you know what we going through? Like, he just hits it hard. Anyway, DMX.

Run it back. Stop. Niggas want to lie. The niggas wonder why. Niggas want to die. All I know is pain. All I feel is rain. How can I maintain with that shit on my brain?

I resort to violence. My niggas move in silence. Like, you don't know without silence. New York niggas do wildest. My niggas is with it. You want it? Come and get it. Took it.

You fucking right. We did it. What the fuck you going do? When we run up on you. Fuck him with the wrong crew. Don't know what we going through. I might have to show niggas how easily we blow niggas. Let me find out it's a mo niggas.

That's running with yo niggas. Rector we can't handle. Break it up with this mantle. Light it up like a candle. Just because I can't stand you. Put my shit on tapes like you're busting brates. Think you holding late, then you haven't met the apes. Well, that's how rough riders roll, man.

Coming at it hard. Like Castle said, this is a street song. These fools are coming at you. You want to mess with them? He's coming out. He's telling you exactly how you're going to come back you. What you're going to do. Yeah, this is one of those songs that, you know,

when you listen to me coming up as a little white kid out of Los Angeles made me want to be like, dude, I want to just have like a hood crew that I could fucking walk the streets storm through like DMX and the rough rat is marching through the streets. Like you bone the damn block. Like that's what DMX put on you. Like he made me want to be. And that's something that's cool.

I think you got to respect these guys for that. Like they take their rough upbringing and they kind of like put it out there, give it this dope sound. And they make you kind of like, want to have that same rough upbringing that they got, you know, like made them rough-routhing as the way they are. And as we're, you know, because we're going to start moving along to the next song. As we go, as I realize, the very last lyric of this song, Castle, it goes, stop, drop, shut them down,

open up, shop, and then it goes, talking cheap, motherfuckers. Yeah. Actually, you know what? We don't do it justice. I'm going to go ahead and let that run right now. Hey, let's hear what he says. Go ahead. Stop.

Drop. Shut him down over an up shop Talk is cheap, motherfucker Oh, right, you're out. That's when you're ready to run the battlefield. You're right, yeah. Let's out. To be right.

You be right. Even if you're about to, like, just take down a team in a basketball game, like, you're ready to be like, oh, talk, two, motherfaclet's go. Let's go. Slap the for. Very simply, you want to fuck with us? We'll fuck you up. That's all the song is in a very simplified manner.

Step to my block like this. But now, now it's imagine they had this fight, right? And they didn't have to fight. The guys backed down. They're like, aye, you better back down. And then these boys were right outside the house. They were about to walk into a party, right? So all the dogs walk in, the door opens, and then they hit him with this.

Cowherton is going to be quick. All your men are they been to jail before suck my dick. And all the motherfacket you run with. Get done with. Dump quick. How the fuck you go and poke your dog with some bum shit? They go to gun click. Now one shit.

All over some dumb shit. Ain't that some shit. Ben-nigigs remind me of a strip club. Every time you come around, it's like, what? I just got to get my dicks up. Oh, that's right. These boys just got done dealing with the beef outside the door, walk into the house, and now it's time to.

Talk about a jam that gets you turned up. Immediately. It really is like the next chapter of Rough Riders Anthem because that one is, you're right. It comes in hard. That one gets you charged up. That one makes you ready to get a war. And then this one comes in,

and now I'm ready to party. Like this is called Party Up. Perfect titled track right there. Fantastic, man. Let's party. And then that beat out the, gate the horns coming in and then you all gonna make me lose my

life just the strong always has been one of those songs that when you hear it for the most part at least for the first minute you're like ah everybody gets hype and just enjoys it. Unfortunately it's also one of those songs that kind of falls into the category where like it's been the go-to track for getting people hype for so long

that it's hard to like let it get you charged up and you got to remember back when it first came out how much it used to get you charged up 1999 came out by the way And I always, you know what I remember? What? Los Angeles Lakers.

Shack Kobe, the whole squad, when they won the championship in 2000. I always remember. That is one of the memories that I always have with this song, is then when they were in the locker room, first championship of my lifetime, Lakers that are, well, at least that I could like remember, I was cognizant of. You know, they won a few when I was like little baby. But they were all in the locker room spraying champagne, and this is the jam. They were all just singing. They're all like, y'all go make me all out up in head.

And I remember like Shaq, whiling out. I was in my living room watching it just like jumping up and down with him. Like I was so empty. So. Yep. One of the best party songs of the 90s, early 2000s. I don't even know if it's considered a party song as much as just like a get-hyped song.

Like, hype song. You could get hyped for the party. For me, it more affects like we were talking about earlier. Like I got a game I'm getting hyped for. I got something. I mean,

that's where you think's about this. It does all inclusive. I hear this. I got to be honest. If you get in the right point of a party or a club and you hit the thing and oh, If you hit it right, man, everybody screams and y'all go home make me. You could actually mix out of it pretty quickly out the gate there and just have a beat going behind that y'all going to make me. And then just get out of it quick.

But this song just out the gate with the way it hits with that thing is just amazing. It really does hit one of the best part of songs out there. Does it get some lyrics that we got to cover, though? I mean, I always like the first part. If I got some bring it to you, I must go on me quick. Are you knickers in the, oh, I said a thing is home. All the homies. The homies.

If I got to bring it to you, cowls, then it's going to be quick. Are you homies in the jail? Suck my dick. All the, the homies are. Wait, let me slow. Where are the homies at? Wait, let me. All the homies up in jail before suck my dick.

Why is it coming after them right now? That's a weird time. That's a weird time. I didn't realize. I never knew what he said right there either. That's why I wanted to, like, slow it down. If I got to bring it to you cowards, then it's going to be quick, all right? Are you men's in the jail before?

Suck my dick. You know, it's interesting because everything's got to be like block warfare with this guy, you know? Like, even when he's trying to make a party jam. And then the name of the next lyric, are you other catch you run with, you dumb with, dumb quick. And how the fuck you go across the dog with some bum shit, eyep? There goes a gun quick. 9-1-1 shit. All of us some dumb shit.

Ain't dead some shit. Yeah, it's all the shit club. Because every time I got to come around, I just got to get my dicks. Yeah, it's all, this whole song is like actually, it's really just the horns and the stuff. and then the hook that make it a party jam. The rest of it is all just like just talking shit to the haters and like DMX has got to be ready to scrap it all

time especially at that time. Yeah. Because like you speak, you write about what you know, like the life that you live, you know? And this is like, they were probably like, Deamex, we need to do a new get hype party track.

And he's like, all right, let me write to this. And the first thing he starts thinking is like, all these motherfuckers look at me. They try to come at me, all right? I'm having it. Even later it comes off with off the chain. I leave his homie soft in the brain. because his homies want to end the fame off the name.

Yeah, he just hates. The whole song is just about who's coming after him and like, no, fuck y'all. Suck my dick. We getting hyped, yo. Yeah, it's good. Y'all go make me like, who's my? It's really the hook. The hook keeps it going and it's just a strong hook.

Every once in a while you can let a strong hook ride the fuck. Hey, let's dissect that for a second because what's making them lose his mind? All the haters that are coming at him? Yeah. That's what, yeah. That's really nothing about the lyrics says this is a party gym. You're like, if you rewist. This man trying to fight.

Like, this is the whole thing. It's just him coming at people. Okay, so he's just outside, according to my story that I have, deal with some homies, walks in the party, he's like, no, you what the fuck is going to make me lose my mind. This guy's crazy. Up in here? Open here. Up in there.

Let's go. And all about sucking his dick for some reason. He's really big on this in this song. He's big on the whole. Calatio. Yeah, palacio. All right. But, but yeah, but like I said, lyrics aside, the beat holds, and then the main, the main verse there.

Should we get in the, the main verse there? get in the verse we never played it so we should we don't need to play really i just want to get to our main part that we fuck yeah right yeah let's skip to the best part of the song we discussed us a little earlier me and just you know have the same exact part of the track as our favorite i think everybody else agrees that this right here is probably the best part of that song hit it one two me outside me outside me outside oh my love that part of that song and we're What sucks is that most DJs don't get into it because it's towards the end of the song. You got to like.

I mix into it. I mix into it. Literally. Right there. Yeah, yeah. Jump in. I honestly go from the beginning.

Well, yo, make me lose my mom on. And then after that first part, go right into, let me get the countdown. One, two.

Meet me outside. Yeah. Hey, outside. Yeah. Again, I love that guy. But again,

what's he talking about? It feels like, hey, hey, yeah. It's like, when you ever at a party when you say to somebody, hey,

yo, meet me outside. you're about to scrap. That's what to be? And he's all, but what's he saying? Like, get rid the lyrics up really quick. All right. What is it?

One, two. Me. Right. All right. I'm a rough flatters. Maybe outside. My big ball is. Maybe outside.

I'm a fly lady. All right. So what, why? I'm going to bring. All right. So at this point, now I'm starting to think maybe he does want to party outside. Once he gives the fly ladies, his rough raters. He's like, he's like, he's going on his homies out and like all the people that he wants to party with.

Maybe, maybe because the scraps going down. Like, he feels like he feels like he feels like. like the energy is like not good in the party. So he's like, let's take it out to the streets. Yep. Random place to party. By the way, Swiss beasts must have made it because he goes. Swiss beats got you all bouncing again.

Bouts and guys got you all bouncing again. Dark Man X got him back sitting again. Is that a dark child? No, Darkman X. I didn't know that's what DMX stand for. Maybe that's dark child's father. No, that's what DMX stands for. Oh, yeah, it is.

Yeah, Darkman X. No idea. Had no idea. I'm glad we dissected that shit. Earl the Darkman X Simmons. That's who we paid homage with today for the discography. Yeah. So, but yeah, party up in here.

Classic track. You guys know you'll party too. Up in here. I'm a fly a little to beat me outside. So if we're running the story at this point, okay, so DMX, he's going to take a spray can. He's going to. Rough riders mount up. He brings all his rough riders to the squat, and they're ready to roll, all right?

They're running the streets. They got this block. They own this. All right. They're rocking. They're ready to scrap with anybody. Even if it means when they're partying up, they're still, it's all about the haters that are jocking. And you know what?

Who do we do dissection on before where we were like, oh, the haters is first. And then it's about like the ladies and stuff. Which song was that? Oh, I remember what it was. It was Joe Budens, Pump It Up, Episode 24, I believe. Dicec DJ, episode 24. And he says, I see some hate. grilling. I see some ladies chilling.

So he was looking at the haters first. And then the ladies, you know? Kind of that same mentality. That that rapper mentality. Hangers first. Talk shit on them. Yeah. Taking care of. Hey, first things first.

What's up with all these haters? Straight up. Oh yeah. There's some ladies chilling too. What's up ladies? You know, but X going to give it to you. What? It's almost like then we got to the point where it's like even when we're in the party

up mindset. He's still looking at the haters first. And his answer is, hey, Fly ladies, all my rough riders and meet me outside. So he's like, meet me outside. So now we're getting outside, right? And you know why he wants to meet him outside, right? Why didn't mean outside?

Because X going to give it to you. They're going to give it to you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um, you don't get it twisted. This rap shit is mine. It's a fucking gay.

Fuck what you heard. It's what you're hearing. It's what you're hearing. It's what you're hearing. Listen, it's what you hear it, listen, it's what you hear it, listen. X-go, give it to you. What? Fuck, wait for you to get it on your own.

X-go deliver to you. Knock, knock, open up the door to spree. With the non-stop, pop out, and stay in the still. I don't go hard getting busy with it. But I got such a good heart that I make the motherfucker and I do it again. Yeah, I ask. It's the only thing you can. Hey, yo, Jack.

You know what X going to do? Uh-huh. I don't give it to you. He don't give it to you. X going to give it. He's ready to fight at all fucking times. This man is just ready. He's like,

this man wakes up. He's like, I'm a fuck, man. I'm going to fight. I'm going to get in. I'm pissed off. As soon as I feed my dogs. I have too many kids.

I have a job support like a motherfucker. He's just pissed, man. First thing he's got to do when he wakes up, maybe yeah, feed his kids. Then, as I remember famously, X had also like 20 dogs. I remember him talking about it.

And he was like, yeah, 15 of my dogs. They just called dogs. Like, he didn't even bother to name him at a certain point. He liked to surround himself with Rottweiler. That was always his thing, you know? He's got all these kids, he got all these dogs. He wants to give it to somebody. I mean, when you hear it to him, you hear it as like, I want to fight, right?

I always hear, I was like, X is going to find your sweet ass and he's going to give it to you. Oh, you know, my ex trying to like, fuck. Yeah, I mean, he had 19 kids. He's trying to fight. He had 19 kids. I think he's trying to give it to you. Oh, yeah, he definitely gives it.

He's giving it. He's literally, when he's saying he's giving it to you, He's like, I'm going to give you a child, at least one, maybe two, probably four. That's my style. What's what I do? Hey, so do you think, should we break down the lyrics on that one? Nope. No?

No. He wants to kill me. He wants to get to me. Yeah, it is a recurring theme of all the DMX tracks that X going to fight you. He's going to fight you. He's angry. He's got a bark. He's got some dogs. He's real dogs and his homie dogs and his dog homies.

and he's trying to give it to you. That's pretty much it. Can I play my favorite DMX track right now? Of course. What's your favorite fucking DMX track? Because I've already played mine. Which one was your favorite? Party Up and Hero Forever Beat.

All right. Now, so this one also off the Dark and Hell is Hot album, which is an album that I had I used to listen to into the ground. And this was actually my favorite track. He had one actually, I remember that was on there. That was actually, I feel like a remix. Am I remembering this right? I feel like he had a Phil Collins remix where he did.

That one was one of my favorites. That one was cool. But the other one I actually liked. See, I like the softer tracks that he had me up because those are the ones that have more staying power for me. No, those are the ones that have more staying power because, like, yeah, Ruffer's Anthem, it would fucking get me hyped up.

But sometimes I just wanted to like chill, listen to something that was a little bit more flowy and a little bit more like, you know, nice and soulful and musical nature to me. So like this was my favorite one. It's called How's It Going Down? Should I play this part or no? Oh, bleat. Should I keep this part?

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Real quick, the classic 90s phone call interlude fucking, that happens in every album. For those of you that did not grow up listening to CDs in the 90s, every album in the 90s. All these are the rappers, they all had to have the last. little interlude and sometimes phone call out of the lead track where it was

just like it was a random ass cover it had nothing to do with the song right it was just a conversation I remember my other favorite album around this time was outcaste Quem and I literally at the beginning and end of every track they're just a random ass conversation that has nothing to do with anything in the song it's literally just like

he's two really talking this is just them conversing and then it goes into the next one they could never just go song to song so yeah here's a The interlude of it is of my favorite song. Of my favorite song I had to always listen to. Let's hear what this is going to say. Some dude, uh, hitting up his female.

I'm sure he's respectful. Let's hear. Let's hear this. I'm sure he's respectful and kind. Let's see how he approaches this situation. Let's hear how the Yonkers goes about it. Yeah. Who dick you suck it?

Lime. You lying to me, B. Yeah, exactly. Who dick you suck it? Come on, B. I just heard some shit about you some foul shit. Yeah, there is some foul shit. You know, what fucking dick, you bitch ass ass ass, I don't know.

No, you explain it to me, bitch. You know what I'm talking about. I don't know nobody up here. You don't fuck with nobody. I don't know nobody. You ain't shit. Do I got to holl his name, too? Who the fuck is he?

Bitch, you fucking him. And that's it. Then we go into the smooth jam. And then we go to the smooth jam. What type of game is being played? How's it doing that? Song to the scorn. I'm trying to get me a nuts.

A chicken with the chicken wondering if I'm a creeper. Little hood rap bitch from 25th named Tamika coming through like I do. You know. hitting my boyfriend I met her she had a scarf. 54 11 size 7 and girls. Baby face would look like she was 11 with curls. Girlfriend. Remember me from way back?

I'm the same cap with the wave cap. That's my fuck of that T&T. Used to blaze that. Still here, so it's all good. Oh, you know my nigger's rich in them doing their thing on 35th day. It's a small hood and it's all wood, so let me get that number. I get up. I hit you up.

Talking to Shorty made me want to do something tonight. And I know right, when I see right, Shottie looking like she tight and she bite. Better give a nigga the green light. It's the softest it being played Why's it's it going down? So on till it's gone That's cool. That's cool.

It's the softer side of X. You don't really get to hear that unless. You know what I mean? But you know what's funny? Is even in the smooth jam, he's still being X with it, but this is him kind of like more. This isn't him dealing with the haters.

It's a rare updry where he's actually going to like channel his energy towards whatever females he's dealing with, right? So I want to get in the lyrics a little bit because it's kind of a, it's a classic view of how X views relationship drama. I'm politicking with his chicken wondering if I'm a creeper.

Little hood rat bitch from 25th named Tanika. I like the fact that he refers to as I'm politicking with his chicken, by the way, wondering if I'm a creeper. Like, that's a great way to describe. He's slower. That's great. No, no, no. I'm not even the flow.

It's just the fact that he's referring to as politicking. You're trying to put on the right face. You're kind of saying the right things, you know? That's a great way. We never actually think about like referring to like dating that way. But that's a lot of like what dating is. You're polyticking, you know, politicking with his chicken.

Coming through, like I do, you know, getting my bark on. Lucia was a thugs, and I met her she had a scarf on. I don't know why that makes her a thug. Yeah. Having a scarf. I don't know what part of that. Like, I don't know, maybe I just don't know. It was just a scarf.

She was only wearing a scarf. Oh, damn. That does make her thug. I also like that he's, like, coming through like I do, you know, getting my bark on. So, like, when he comes in, like, looking for girls, he's just like, Oh! Oh! He's like, literally goes and starts, like, sniffing her out.

ass and shit. He's so into the dog dog mode. He's full dog mode. He's full dog mode at all time. 5411 size 7 and girls. What is 5411?

That sounds like an address this thing. 5411 size 7 and girls. Baby face would look like she was 11 with curls. What? That is way too young. Yeah, dude.

I don't know. I know that it rhymes with 7, but like, I don't know, change the number on her size. You need to say she looks like she was 11 with curls. That's a straight-up child you're talking about at this point.

You could have been like she looks like she's 10 years older than 11 like in an Are these lyrics going to ruin DMX for me too? Yeah

Yeah yeah too Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah What? Remember me from way back

And the same cat With a wave cab The motherfucker With the TNT Used to blaze at Yeah Yeah I got to be out

And it's a dope I like I like it It would probably turn Into something Cool riding And my car and stuff But Casasel

What the fuck Was that Begaining phone call About I mean Absolutely nothing I'm talking about I'm holling on a girl

You would Think that the next song would be something about like guys and a bitch. Yeah, he's up to him dick, you know, like, but no, he was like, smooth jam. Him trying to holler at a girl after, like,

just talking about. This is how Hood DMX is. Even when he's trying to make a smooth jam, he's like, all right, well, I gotta make a prelude something about the girls. I'm talking shit on the girl that I'm on her. He's like, I gotta make someone of a female. What would I have?

A lot of phone calling the girl. What would it be? Who dick you sucking? First word out of the gate. Lying ass, bitch. All right. But then the main hook, let's get to that part. Yeah, hit that.

What type of game is being played? How's it going down? It's all until it's gone, then I got it to know now. So it's all about, like, this is the way this makes it speak to me, like DMX is looking at it like it's a game. Like, this is all a game? You think it's a fucking game? Like, so even like when you're dealing with these girls,

yeah, I got out time for the games that are being played. If you whip me or what, wake up, try to get me a nut, because honey's going to give me the butt. What? They're just trying to bust a nut and smoke some weed. He comes down to it. That's all he's really trying to be here for. He's like, look, I know you're going to make me have him do some politicking with his chicken,

and it's a hala games, how he's going down. But let's be honest, I'm just trying to get a honey's the butt. What? Like, that's it. That's all he's really here to do. I'm trying to smoke some weed. I'm trying to put a baby in you, all right? You won't it?

You want it? Let's get that. You want a baby? I'm going to give it to you. If you want a baby. Oh, yeah, man. Well, Mr. Darkman X classic tracks. I mean, very unique in the art, too, because once you take over the voice of,

you kind of like, nobody else can do that anymore. It's true. Like, Jowru, tried to apparently, and like, you know, I don't think of anybody else, but that aggressive is taken forever. Forever you will be referred to as a copy of the image. Look, you work with a voice that you're given. And like you just mentioned Jowru, he's also given that, like, kind of deep voice that kind of like coming up. He kind of took it in a different direction.

He took a little bit of a more of a side. I think he came out originally and he was trying to hit like these kind of hard hits. But like DMX, that's all he knew. He had this deep, crazy, get at you, out, boys, jump on the track. Let me fight somebody, you know? And then that was what he knew. That was his background. You know, even when he's trying to make a soft track, it's got to start with a who did you sucking?

Like, that's all he knew. And when it comes down to it, he's not here for games, you know? He's like, you think this a game. You think this a fucking game. Okay, this is only the second time we've done a discography of an artist. Destiny's Child was the first one, I believe. Do we rate? Do we slap it out the artist as a whole?

Yeah, I mean, we always slapping out and clap it. And I want to say this might be something we do. I don't want people getting mad at us if we, if somebody passes an artist and we don't do their discography and give them their respect. But I feel like this could be something that Castle and I do from this point. It's a good time to pay tribute to somebody. Unfortunately, we always think to honor people the most when they pass. Which is.

Well, that's most people. We are going to do that. That's actually what we're going to do because it gives us a great time. Sometimes we most people. Yeah. And also, people are paying attention to DMX at this point, so it's going to give us more ratings. You know, you got to play the game a little bit.

So anyways, what's your slap? What slap do you have? Am I giving DMX as a whole? DMAX is the whole, yeah, yeah. There was three solid slaps and a single snap. That's it. 31. Okay.

You want to go into detail about that? We talked about it. Got the deep voice, very unique to himself. came out aggressive a party up in here, one of my favorites and a 90s rapper that had a unique style

and very aggressive and again very sad passing do I feel hurt by it do I feel like I lost somebody something close to me absolutely fucking not but if you feel that way out there

I'm sorry you lost I'm just gonna say adding the word fucking right there was a little unnecessary okay let me go back if you feel like you lost it I mean I'm just that was my opinion

that's just Yeah, it's okay if it's absolutely not. And it absolutely fucking not. It makes it sound like fucking good ridges. Absolutely fucking not. Hey. Hey. You know.

All right. I'm going to go. My X ratings is. Wait, wait, wait. Okay, go ahead. All right. Can I say it out over again then? No, I just think.

I just make you wait. I mean, this episode's already running a lot. Because I'm just going to give it to you, bro. What do? Oh, get, got it. All right, go ahead. Three slaps. I think three barks

and a deep growl. Yeah, yeah. That's what X does to me. Yeah, X is legend. Like I said, like back in the days when I was in school and everything, like we got me through it. I feel like everybody had,

anybody whose car I ever wrote in if I was ever like, because back in the day the way we used to look for like what music to play is they'd like, be like, oh yeah, here's my CDs. And everybody had like the little CD thing where you like just go through the CD.

I still have that actually. Yeah, yeah. I think I got one somewhere. I lost my CDs when I was in 10th grade. It was absolutely disheartening was my whole music collection at that point. So I had to like rebuild from there. But, yeah, everybody had it's dark and hell is hot. Everybody had the next one. It was like flesh in my flesh, blood of my blood. The one where it looked like he was like doused with blood. I just remember

that one. I also, I had no idea what that, like I felt like it was a poorly titled. It was a weird album. It was just like, again, I feel like that was just somebody on his team that was like, you know, and here's what we're going to do for the album. We're going to douse who's blood. He's going to be a confusing name. Flesh and blood. Blood of my flesh. nobody's going to be able to say when they tell their friends and they don't know if it's your blood is somebody's blood they don't know maybe they just got to listen to the song point is DMX he's a legend he also didn't have that much staying power with me though like i stopped kind of listening to his music after you know like he had he would have that song that would come out he'd bump it 2000

yeah he would bump it which is fine like he had a solid like i don't know 10 year run where he was like right in the mix but like his music would come out he'd have a jam that would get you hyped but then like i would kind of like forget about there a few months so that's why it's just three laps. He is the legend. I absolutely respect what he brought to the game and is upbringing the fact that he was able to come from so little and do what he did with it. Yeah, look up his upbringing. Have you ever good chance, man. He has a rough story, man. He's able to create a great life for himself and his 39 children, which is, you know, I think. Fifteen, but yeah, half that. You know, your close. He was good. He had a lot of dogs and he pregnant and a lot of women. And you made a lot of

50. Is that what it is? He's a young. All too young, man. You know, overall, I think He lived himself a great life. And, you know, a successful career like that from the upbringing that he began, I think he would be proud of that. So, Mr. X, this one's to you. Three bucks. Get around. Let's get it on.

You don't get a walk, what, we don't get a on. Get it on the floor.
