Actually, it's not a song, but a spoken-word delivery that shows the conflict between DMX the artist and Earl Simmons the man. And Then There Was X . DMX proves himself to be a master at his craft as well as a damn good songwriter on these - even if you don't agree with the message some of the songs portray. And Then There Was X . While gangsta rap seemed to go stale after the death of Shakur in 1996, DMX proves that the genre is still alive and, in the right hands, can still sound exciting.
X makes sure that the rap genre is still interesting and exciting to listen to.
Even if you're like I am and this is the first DMX album you've heard, something tells me it won't be the last. All rights reserved. Review or any portion may not be reproduced without written permission.
