DMX To Resurrect Hip Hop, Preps New Album

by JOKESTA

THURSDAY JULY 26, 2007

Controversial New York rapper, DMX, will be making his return to music with his 7th studio album, The Resurrection Of Hip Hop. The album, which is expected to be released towards the end of 2007, is currently being formulated as a response to Nas’s “Hip Hop Is Dead.”

“Nas is my dog, and he put out Hip Hop Is Dead—and it pretty much IS dead. But, I’m gonna resurrect it with his help and the real artists in hip hop” DMX told MindWhirld TV.

“There are so many people making records, that are not artists. They have absolutely no talent whatsoever. To the point that I’m ashamed to even be associated with them..ashamed to be in the same sort of music.” He continued.

Rumored collaborators include 50 Cent, The Game, Nas, Mary J. Blige, Swizz Beats, Eve and Bone Thugs N Harmony. While production will be handled by Swizz Beats, Scott Storch, Jonathan Rotem & The Alchemist.

“I just wanna clear up all the gray areas and let em know what real hip hop is, who the real artists are and put rap back on the map.”

“I just wanna clear up all the gray areas and let em know what real hip hop is, who the real artists are and put rap back on the map.”

Note he mentions The Game. DMX got it right. Looks like he's emulating the same production formula Game used on Doctor's Advocate. (Storch, Rotem, Swiss)

Go ahead niggas, tell me how fake DMX is for collaborating with Game. Talent recognizes talent.

^^"I been waitin for DMX to step up and save hip hop. If anyone can do it he can."

see thats the thing, saving hip hop is not something that just ANYBODY can do. it takes the right PPL. 1 person cant do it (not wayne, t.i., 50, jay, nas, and whoever else). its gonna take a gang of motherfuckers to do it. aint NOBODY doin it by theyself, all they can do is add to the movement.
