this thread is missing a ? poll no ?

X was beasting ? and his presence was felt throughout.
He crushed the shiny suit era everybody was stuck on, including Jay with that colorful ass "Sunshine" video.
It's Dark And Hell Is Hot and Flesh Of My Flesh..TWO #1 albums in the SAME YEAR and sold plenty, something Jay couldn't do.
He was Def Jam's top selling artist at the time and hit Hollywood hard WITHOUT going pop to do it. -
This is well categorized and widely known tho.

And Then There Was X > anything Hov has put out. I won't even say X's first two cuz that's obv

I keep seeing people bring up X's accomplishments, but how was X better than Jay Z in his prime and how is he better than Jay Z now? Was it flow, lyrics, delivery, songs, etc.? I mean if we are going to seriously debate whether DMX is/was better than Jay Z at least offer how. Personally, I think X only had/has a better delivery than Jay. Jay Z was better than X at everything else then and is definitely better than X in everything else now.

From 1998 to 2001, DMX was the best rapper alive. He singlehandedly destroyed the shiny suit era.

He is plagued by demons obviously. Great Depression wasn't all that great and The Grand Champ was bad. By then, he was doing way too much coke and ?

listen tomp i applaud your effort, but just because YOU dont like something or YOU dont have any personal quotables doesnt mean everyone else feels the same way
people have been talking about his verses from light up, so appalled, the joy and monster for a while now just some examples -
thedesolateone wrote: »the bolded is true
how, jay never dropped 2 albums in one year, how do knw if he did he wouldnt get 2 #1's
its really not hard to get #1's albums, i dont think he could sale 8 million in 1 year, but 2 #1's would be easy, most week the top sales be 200k -
if you take all the the verses from album to album from them jay shatters x after x first joint it was all down hill
-
X > Jay. IC has decided, X > Jay. Men lie, women lie, real ? don't.

DMX has never been the best rapper alive. In 1998, he was what 50 Cent was in 2003: an insanely popular rapper that people looked up to as the 2nd coming of Pac. In 1998, people respected Jay, Big Pun and even Lauryn Hill lyrically over DMX. By '99, people had moved on to riding Em as a lyricist in addition to praising Nas again, and continuing to respect Jay Z as a lyricist. In 2000, the Em wave continued and Jay Z was moving up in the ranks. By '01, DMX wasn't even an issue as Jay Z and Nas battled for lyrical supremacy.
