…And Then There Was X – DMXView More By DMX Our ReviewGangsta rap is often criticized for glamorizing the street, but DMX’s third album seems anything but a celebration. And Then There Was X’s often doomy sounding beats are accompanied by warnings, threats and admissions that thuggin’ is little fun. “One More Road” details a spectacularly failed liquor-store robbery that ends in murder. “Never Gonna Lie” alternates between a boast of “I’m never gon’ die” and a promise to stay in the life “even if it kill me.” And the hired killer of “The Streetz” admits “I know I’m goin’ to hell.” After those opening cuts, the album eases into less surprising criminal territory, but “Money” (a small-timer’s lament couched in a driving track) and “What’s My Name” don’t make their milieus sound very enjoyable either. Amusingly enough, though, “F*** Around” twists the party-party grind of Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood’s “It’s All Good” into a caution against walking on the wrong side of the Ruff Ryders crew; “Reliable” tops it with the audacious meld of grungy blaxploitation strut and worshipful prayer..

My like 2 favorite songs are from DMX in the movie Cradle 2 The Grave. Right/wrong and X gon' give it to ya. Seriously consider getting those songs. I need them on my ipod. BiographyBorn: December 18, 1970 in Baltimore, MDGenre: Hip Hop/Rap Years Active: '90s, '00s, '10s Following the deaths of Tupac Shakur and the Notorious B.I.G., DMX took over as the reigning, undisputed king of hardcore rap. He was that rare commodity: a commercial powerhouse with artistic and street credibility to spare. His rapid ascent to stardom was actually almost a decade in the making, which gave him a chance to develop the theatrical image that made him one of rap's most distinctive personalities during his heyday. Everything about DMX was unremittingly intense, from his muscular, tattooed...
