“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.”

DMX is not goin to resurrect sh*t...he's done. This albumn is goin to be full of artists who is goin to make his albumn sell...the nigga got to many problems....f*ck rappin nigga...get ur life right...lol
always been a fan of dmx so im cop dis one,slick album name to
D is that dude point blank period
Tight. Ill be coppin this.
year of the dog again was probably his worst album but it was still real and better than a lot of mainstream rappers shit so im probably gonna go get this to see what he has to say and support the rebirth of real rap even thought i think some of his featured artists is whats bringin hip hop down
co-sign u how this dog do.he is one of the few Mc that really can ryhme some shit that would really make u feel it. THat's really HIP HOP CULTURE.
I wanna see him work back 2gether wit Jay and Lox...Blackout '07
best idea i heard all day
Yeah that was a good time in hip-hop when all them niggaz was makin good music together. i miss that shit...good point.
ill co-sign that....twice!!
i think the album is gonna be tight too, but what industry vet hasnt said "im gonna save hip hop"?
Yea and even though he was strong during the days hip hop was still vibrant, I don't know if he has enough oomph to bring it COMPLETELY back but maybe he can spark something.
We'll see though.
U Damn Skippy X Fina Reck Sum Shyt. He Got Game And 50. Daz All Type Of Fans If He Put Jay On Dat Shyt Itz Over......... S.Cater Bitch Wait Til I Come Out Fukk U Munkeyz Thought......I'm On Dat 2......The Time Is Coming.......!!!

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.
"DMX got it right. Looks like he's emulating the same production formula Game used on Doctor's Advocate. (Storch, Rotem, Swiss)"
Damn nigga you right! How many units did Doctor's Advocate sell?
The Dogg is back
dfis shit gon be a classic fuck a bootleg im goin str8 2 da store
I dont know. His last album was kinda wack I hope he can bring hip hop back tho If he got all those artist on the cd it should be hott!
ja gonna be on it,and hope dblock get some tracks.
And how did he get 50 and Game on the same album?????? Hmmmmm I dont know
I didn't like Year of the Dog again, but this seems like fire.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE GREATEST RAPPER AFTER PAC & BIG. REAL TALK.
get the fuck outta here!!!!
EAT A DILDO NIGGA
i wouldnt say the greatest but mabye the realest
*maybe* typo
Im sorry to say this and I hope Im wrong, but i got a feelin this album will disappoint, unless he go back to the old DMX i jus dun be feelin him no more
This nigga is washed up too! So what is he gonna do!
Here we go with the haters. Put down the hater-aid and realize that this nigga spit da truth. Listen to tha track more 2 a song and get back to me. 1
Thats my dog!!!!!!!!! I been waitin for DMX to step up and save hip hop. If anyone can do it he can. He spit the realist rhymes ever. I feel ya on that 1 beenie91. He fell off lately but his rhymes are still better than some of these wack ass niggas right now.
"If you love something let it go, if it comes back to you it's yours, if it doesn't it never was, hold me down baby."-DMX
^^"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.
DMX i just think he gonna call a bunch people out...
but i will buy it, but i aint bout to say its going to be
tight before i hear it like other clowns...
if its sorry i'm going to get mike vick on his ass...lol
Let's see how the first single goes RavenH20, let's give him a fair shot at this seemingly unattainable goal.
I heard 50 and Game on the same track on DMX new album is that true?
"I heard 50 and Game on the same track on DMX new album is that true?"
Not really suprising if it is true...if someone told me Nas and Jay-Z would be on the same track five years ago I would've laughed in there face.
finally somebody airing out all these wack ass rappers. X got a point, these dudes r just entertainers they aint rappers, and they aint even doin a good job entertaining. ne one of us could get up in the booth and make the same figures they do. holla at em X
i hope this cd is better then his last one
co-sign
dmx should get chamillionaire on his cd cuz cham will kill it
He can't kill it by himself..... Why would X Fuck wit dat nigga?????????
this shyt is gonna be fire. when does the first mixtape drop?
X dont do dat mixtape shit. Doesn't need dat help his albums fire right out the gate. Even his last album Year of The Dog again was straight even though it aint sell dat much. Cant wait for this and the D-Block albums. Y.O. all day
FUCK THAT SHIT!!!
I always got time for X,because he actually gives a shit about his fans and spits what he feels.Yeah his last album wasn't up to his standards,but i think he's focused on his music,and when dmx is focused y'all know he gonna kill the booth.
agreed X is one of the few artist who gives a fuck about his fans.
I messes wit the boy D yo dat dude speak it st8 up. Like my boy Nas said If you don't think that hip hop is dead yo dumb ass probably da main reason it died.
1 Luv
This cat act like he been at the top of the game since he been in it... I only remember a few hits and he raps kinda wack to me..... I liek DMX but man he is trippn he needs to focus on reviving his career not the whole industry....
He a better actor...BUNZ need to stick to doing movies he harder in movies then real life!!!!
Wut eeeezzz it!!!
he's sold 18million in the usa alone......and he;s always kept it streets.
DMX is dat dude. U already know swizz beatz is gonna be on hella hooks on da album. Why isnt X considered one of the greatest of all time?
ya ill cop this album he always been sick and we really need to clean up this hiphop, rap shyt most of the rappers that rap dont really suppose to be here thats why ya gotta go listen to what Pimp C said
I like DMX man.. I just feel that he has fallen off....He strted smokn that shhyt and now he looney toons......... I would like to see him come back wit a vengence though.. I hope he can do it!!!
it iz wut it iz!!! it be wut it be!!!
he will have to pull a miracle off to really be relivant again!!!
yadada mean!!
dmx should not put swizz beats on his first single he need 2 come with a new sound!!
yea i aggree he shud work wit just blaze or timbaland
^^^^^^Maybe Just Blaze but def not Timbo unless he can create something that doesnt sound too melodic but at the same time is still X ya know. I wanna hear him over Hi-Tek personally
THIS SOUNDZ LIKE ITZ GONE BE A GOOD 1
on the real, it's dark and hell is hot & flesh of my flesh were x's best albums. i think if he can stick to that formula then he may very well help resurrect hiphop.
ALWAYS BEEN A DMX FAN AND WILL ALWAYS BE BUT DMX RESURECTING HIP HOP???? PLZ AND EVEN IF HE COULD IT TAKES MORE THAN JUST ONE MAN 2 SAVE HIP HOP
"Dmx to resurrect hip hop" lol yeah fuckin right, after "its dark and hell is hot" and " flesh of my flesh" dmx has pretty much lost it. he so doped out that it shows in his music
Dmx is washed up, he's been in decline since ''The Great Depression''. Does he really think attacking the Hip-Hop Community is gonna save his career? What has it done for Nas?
havent yall noticed that all the old artists are sayin they finna bring hip hop back just so yall can buy they records and see them fail lol its all a marketing strategy.
DMX is tight. I just hope he doesn't bark or growl like a homo this time. D-block should have some tracks on there. In his prime X was tight, not sure if he still got it. The best of luck to X though.
wut iz all of this SAVE HIP HOP ISH........I disagree with that...we need to get our mind right as fans aan consumers and stop dck ridin fake ass cats.. thats where it all starts... the mainstream watered down shhyt is where hip is going wrong...
and if fake azz rapperz sell then its sayin somthin about who's buyin it!!! possibly can relate to fake cats... real know real when we see it!!!! I dnt buy fake counterf it azz rapperz albums ...
DMX aint gone bring hip hop bck to NYC let alone da World! DMX had has time to shine
but blew it on the crack pipe. His last album was ok kinda he aint even that kinda rapper so I dont get it. I hope he dont make himself look stupid as DMX used to be a real Nice Mc.
sucking on that glass dick fucked him up. I grew up on cashmoney and ruff ryders though so i hope his new shit be better than his last.
In the late 90s he was that nigga
I think if he just has better production this one will be better than the last one. But like lilswanny22 said --- dmx should not put swizz beats on his first single he need 2 come with a new sound!!
What happened on album number 6? I guess it was too soon to resurrect hip hop at that point.
Dam...you see how much respect Dmx gets...hes 1 of the few artist that wont get bashed by the public...
only thing that i never liked about DMX's albums were his OLD production by Swizz. Swizz used to make some garbage ass beats back in 99 sometimes.
Other than that. This shit looks like it will be NICE. Somebody said he'd have Ja on there... I thought they were beefin @ one point back when the whole 50/Murder Inc shit was poppin off.

wow u fag ass niggaz on some anti-real hip hop shit...if u a real hip hop head u kno DMX always be bringin it gutta...i aint gun lie his last album he lost a step or 2 but......... D ALWAYS on a whole nutha level than these wack ass rappers(not real MC'S) espcially down south(cosignin PIMP C) they aint artists they wack and ne1 who wo uld have a good hook could make money (Huey,Huricane Chris, ONE HIT WONDERS) any real catz like UGK,Cham,T.I. would... real reconize real on the short DMX is realy and he kno what real hip hop is....true story
