Idk why, but this reminds of that part in the Benoit Dark side of the ring episode when Vickie Guerrero found Eddie on the couch od'ing for like the 3rd time and just took the kids to school. She said God if you gonna take him, take him now so we don't have to go through this anymore.

grand champ has some real gems on it. feel like people just skipped over it because of the reviews and the general consensus that all of dmx's albums after his 3rd one sucked

On what planet?

100%

X was definitely one of the biggest star at one point

One of the hardest posse cuts ive heard.

When?

Jay as in Jay-Z??

I don't agree with this s*** at all the potential was there but he burnt out burn bright burn fast.

during his prime. you must be young?

This planet. Earth

I think he's agreeing with you

def in the late 1990s. im pretty sure even in 2001 the great depression outsold the blueprint, and the great depression was a pretty big drop off from his previous albums.

and then there was x did 600k first week, jay-z only accomplished that in 2006 with kingdom come.

once X blew up in 98 up until 2000-2001, DMX was the king of NY imo

??

He had a 3 year run from 1998-2001 and then returned to become the most popular he had ever been on an international scale in 2003

X had two platinum albums in the same year. These young dudes don't know

Everybody knows who Jay-Z is are you kidding me. Jay z has never been the like the biggest dopest rapper of the era but that motherfucker is always around everyone knows he is and they wish they had half the career he did.

Yo how old are you my friend?

Old bur what the f*** does that even matter I like xxx but I sure as f*** don't think he was ever bigger than jay z
