Still got the tape, and boom box to play all this ERA!! but NOBODY killed this one as good as LL

💯

yep

HERE!!!!!

💯 those times are long gone

@@dassolosyndikat5113 and the new times long lame ......!!!!

Right you used to be able to tell were a rapper was from by how he rapped!! Now everybody sound the same

You had to be separate from everybody nobody had the same styles back then if it was even close you got called out.

You say that but I still remember so many sounding like tupac. Especially underground rappers. Difference is they didn't make it back then, stayed broke

Pun was dope

Never be another him

canibus is on point both back to back

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤DMX FIRE 🔥 FIRE 🔥 FIRE 🔥 FIRE 🔥 I GOT TO SEE HIM IN PERSON GRATEFUL FOR 👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾😎💯💯🔥

Yea his flow different 🙏🏽

South holding it down now we got this

That south sound, and lyrics are garbage compare to this.

Im from GA if it ain't ti, luda,outkast, no limit, or the hotboyz just to name a few... Nah the south ain't hitting on NOTHIN nowadayz...

That south shit especially golden age southern hip-hop 😂 OutKast shit anything Dungeon Family, Ghetto Mafia, Tela, Luda, TI, Scarface

Yesss suhhh!!! You gotta make the stank face on his verse lol well hell all of them lol

Yes the realism in his delivery crazy

😆

Defo he was hood

I had a friend from NYC introduce me to dmx mixtapes and telling me he was going to blow. The first time I heard x I knew he was going to be a star. Rip X!

@Mean Azz what do you mean? 🤷🏾‍♂️

@Mean Azz ??? I hope this isn't some reference to reincarnation that you're going to fail at elaborating on

@Mean Azz yes, that's life, as a whole I don't determine that in the most broadest sense. But, unfortunately DMX was abusing a drug which at a point has a history of these outcomes, meaning he played a direct cause in his outcome. That is the misfortune of risks and accountability.

@Mean Azz this person made no mention about race. He was just wishing dmx to rest in peace. Why do you have a problem with that? 🤷🏾‍♂️

😂

FACTS!!!!!!!!!!!

🤣🤣

🫵🏾 never lied 💯%

Me doc!! ONLY REASON!!

Me ! The only reason 🙌🏾

LL snapped the hardest

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙏🏾

Law79 I listened and was like “yeah, he’d do all that shit”.

This is what got him noticed

@@marcellussims4831 this and Money Power Respect. he lit that song up too

Law79 X is the best!!

What bout LL that brought later cannabis vs LL

Miss u x

Dmx is not on this song

@@HoodHandymanyour tripping lol. Dmx on every version of this song

@noobnotpro6221 I was saying the same thing, x got the best verse on the whole track

@@mistaefromdtn yea and meth too, all the verses were fire

I totally agree

Nooo he told canibus to rewrite his verse

@@clipsthemasterpiece7576 yeah he cut his verse and made it not include some lines but I don't think he rewrote it.

he made him re-write it, then answered to the verse he told him to re-write like a bitch.@@SirKmac808

That's not why he rewrote it

YESSSSSSSSSS! AGREE!

One of top 10 verses all time no doubt and knew that way before he died.

@@CqThatdude No doubt... speaking for myself, that's all.

@@CqThatdude U good fam!!. I'm 34 now, we was in middle school in the hall ways rappin' that X part together back in the day!.X and Shyne and them was on a whole other plateau back in them days.

You sure ain't lying. Me too! 100!

I would rewind to 87-96

couldn't bite somebody artistry back then,you would get ridiculed for it

LL blew him to pieces, covered in feces with one thesis!!!

​@@mikedun7Only because LL laid his verse after hearing Bus verse.

@TheManHam87 I agree with you, but cannibus still got smoked by LL after the official battle started, which my original comment was referring to.

@@mikedun7 the version that got released didn't have cannibus in it he was replaced by Jarule and it was terrible i use to FF through his part lol

​@@mikedun7 All lies. I remember when LL himself even said Canibus was his toughest battle on Drink Champs. Bus is a lyrical monster.

🤭😖😖💯

I'm better than Master P.

It's called crack

He still fire and that says a lot....

5hr energy 💊.

One of the goats for sure

@@lakeishawashington4299 come on hes even without crack a bomb

YES, they play so well together. You see the way they looked at each other..that's love AND respect!

That's what happens when you hit a nerve & a mans ego is tampered with. Hip Hop is a sport but i guess nobody told L that

@@RedTopGhost320you don’t tempt Jack The Ripper man lol

@@juliancornejo1402 gotta play with fire sometimes man lol

@@juliancornejo1402Showing RESPECT or not, like L said create your "OWN LANE" he used his own imagination for that "TAT" Cannibus needed to do the same.

Nino Brown shit right there

Pull through D

That's a HARD line. Visceral

Actually was whack

@@elmalanmalan2175 in my andre voice close minded folks.. The south got sum to say

@@brownhornet4872 😆😂

@@brownhornet4872 The south does have something to say but P's verse was wack.

@@elmalanmalan2175 hater

Rael talk for real

FACTS!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Wasnt this before his Album release ? No one really knew X

Facts

Me too

Real talk I did to he killed it every bar was pure 🔥💯

Most of us old Catz knew he would blow up. This was the song.

He used to sell mixtapes in yonkers so we were just waiting for him to get signed and blow up. Alot of his hit songs he already did back then. Just on different beats made by dj superior

Was it this or money power respect? But ya same for me, those were the first 2 songs I heard from him. I remember when this video dropped, doesn't feel like that many years...we getting old

@@theballq for me I heard this one first... Then sometime after that was the feature on Money, Power, Respect... That was another one of those where you're like "holy shit rewind that"

Hell yeah

I agree with you ok and rest in peace darkman x

The other Emcees dressed up as horror villains to fit the dark theme… DMX dressed as himself and was still the most menacing presence in the video.

This era will never be repeated

Blazin! My lungs still hurt from these days ...

@@anthonysutherland8601 Great comment. Me too, lol.

🎯🎯🎯🎯

ISTG

No such thing as mumble rap. They’re actually saying something. This is an attack on the southern drawl

@@adv42 Nope Master P is from the South

They wouldn’t even know what to do with a beat like this.

@@TarellHudson it's literally the same note over and over again you cannot argue that this beat is better than anything nowadays

@@liljuz1981 It is a simple beat and yet, it’s iconic. And outside of your J Coles, Kendricks, Vince Staples, and so on, you’re not getting competency on this beat.

Meth and Red like bud and Dutchmasters

Big facts

That shit was low-key gay

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Pause

Literally scary asf

@@SincerelyxGabby predictive programming smh

Agree,DMX🙏

Very strange indeed

@@SincerelyxGabby mockery from these devil. Gematria effect news DMX ..-Zachary k Hubbard

Yasss exactly this ☝🏽 ☝🏽 ☝🏽

I think this the first track i heard X on

X had me checking my pockets in this track!

He did say "Believe what I say." That was your first and last warning. 🤣

In the Ruff Ryders documentary, he stated that he used to actually rob people with his dog.

He robbed him, reasoned with him about being robbed and then gave him the Word lol. Only one X!!! #bettertogivethanreceive

Biz did ya mean

@@persona8991 😂💀

Cabinus had the best verse

LL spazzed yo

@@persona8991 yh he got them confused lol

Man his verse was filled with shade on canibus. Straight nut shit

His verse is good. I just never liked LLs delivery.

LL is the Illest

@@throwbackgeneral6944 most bars attacking canibus was still on the song

Yeah

#facts 🔥🔥🔥

It's not too complicated tho

nah. it is a banger though

@@aceking875 good old OP pp099ppp0

Frr and I think now a days they all have the same flow and all look the same

Frr and I think now a days they all have the same flow and all look the same

It's older than that

@@ezradlionel711/videos Who cares dude. Appreciate the fact this dude found some amazing music who cares what year it is

Sounds like Snoop wrote it.

​@@natsusatsujinki8342 😂😂😂

P did not hold his own 😂 but P was still the man back then and they had to put him in there

They give Master P flack but he held his own. Definitely wasn't a liability.

@@KingMeech80 I bet you from new York

I still think someone else should have had P's slot. He was subpar..

Always

Stay out the dark!!! It was at that point I became a Ruff Ryder for lyfe..

Ty

Yuppp

He's pro-gay. F him.

Dmx and ll cool j

Until LL went on head and diss him in the same song😂😂

​@tobias byrd the original canibus verse he did a sub diss and said "I'll snatch the mic from your arm" it was over after that. Then Eminem destroyed canibus and there went his career

@@tobiasbyrd126 word up 😂💯

​@@lightcurls714 He wasn't dissing him. He respected him and said let me borrow it. Because Cool J thought it might get misunderstood he said Canibus had to rewrite it. Problem is Cool J didn't rewrite his, saying people wouldn't know it was about Canibus. Canibus disagreed thus the beef was born. Look it up.

@@oldb3139 that is some suspicious, messed up side

FACTS 🎯 Late 90's in the summertime... BET all day ...radio on all day

His verse was the best imo.

Who tf would sleep on the legend red

Yes i like REDMAN JOINT!!! TURN A CHRISTIAN TO A CERTIFIED SINNA!!!! 😂😂😂😂

Red is one of the greatest.

I noticed something breakin down Red's verse. Em copied that whole entire flow. No wonder he said Red was his favorite rapper

lol not realy

Absolutely. Good comment.

Busta rhymes also

Jadakiss Biggie Andre 3k too

All the guys in this song have distinguished voices. None of these guys sound like anyone else except for maybe Can. But nobody is confusing the other guys voices with anyone else. It felt like their were more unique options back then. And sure there’s some around now but it seems like what’s overplayed is the similar sounding folks though.

Delivery is Eclectic 😊

Brain is done bro

He’s passed away this morning

@@Pynkfoxx_ This song name predicted his death

@Mean Azz lay down the crack pipe

@Mean Azz chilee iont know what to believe anymore

Don't worry that's just the devil

And the lyricism carries the beat..dope!

@@jodywest9044 lol..what???!!

@@JaneMuchiri Crazy DMX had a heart attack on 4/3/21

Go try and write a 16 hommie!!

His beef with LL, Eminem etc was what stopped him from going full mainstream, very talented but very restricted.

“CanIBitch”

@@petew.7870 ok eminem stan boy. Go meat ride feminem somewhere else

O9

@@petew.7870 o

David Hill lol or a freestyle.

Prime canibus would of whooped dizaster. I saw Tay roc roasted Dizaster with written. Canibus used to do whole album spitting flames at 100 degrees. After a while he started doing one song at 100 degree and the others at 10 degrees, that's how much Canibus fell before he battle dizaster.

No one had a better run than 97-2002 Canibus...he has some of the best verses of all time...anyone who says different is lying to themselves

Yeah but you're facing LL dawg.."how dare you step up into my dimension, when your little ass should be somewhere crying on detention""

@@reisedogg bullshit ! He was stealing his rhymes from Canadian authors ! Facts ! Which automatically makes his bars irrelevant

Me

Yo

Здарова были!)

In your mother, I know that much..

Yerrrr!

We all know that's a lie. Aside from Master P, everyone else had a better verse than LL honestly.

Right bruh. I got so hyped when he did it lol

Definitely!

There a lot of good sounding hip hop and rap out there you just have to find it. But yeah a lot of old school music still slaps harder than some of the new music.

@Joshua Smith. I’m not even a Rap fan and even I can hear this stuff is so much better than the shit today.

Fuck yeah it sounded better back then dude. I hate all this new shit today, all this bullshit these days got the same beat with the same ass voices talking under their breath. I wasn't born during the golden era but I sure do carry it with me. 16 here, been pumpin old school since i was 6

Definitely a lot better than today's
