And Then There Was X [PA] - DMX

...bangers for the mainstream listeners, and away from the underground. 1. “The Kennel” (Intro) 2. “One More Road To Cross” This track has a very grungy and grimy feel to it, it's the only description I can come up with, but you would understand if you had a listen to it. This style really it’s in with DMX's voice and lyrical delivery, so his style is heavily complimented by Swizz Beatz' production. At the beginning he comes with some questionable rhymes ...
...just makes him sound weird, and is if he's trying to unsuccessfully imitate a Nigerian accent. Don't ask me about this, just listen to it, it's just strange and doesn't fit it at all. **Three Stars** 3. “The Professional” As we get further into things, you have this which has him doing a track which fits in with the time, and the sort of thing which was popular in the more underground side of East coast Rap as he does a Mafioso one, but I have to ...

Review of And Then There Was X [PA] - DMX

...masterpiece of an album here, and it is most probably the best album I own. This is his best album by far, (not that the other two were bad at all!) and it is recommended by myself, to anyone who doesn't yet own it. I know very few people who are into 'Gangsta Rap' but if you want to get into it, this would be a good place to start. Many of you won't have heard of DMX, and are wondering why you are even reading this. Well, buy the album, and you ...
...swear a lot and use bad language in their albums - this is no different, but they do this to express their feelings and emphasise their point. Avoid this if you don't like bad language (not that I do!) And stick to Vanilla Ice for soft-core rap. So, onto the songs... 1. The Kennel (skit) Not really much of a song here, this is simply an introduction to the album, as most rap albums have. DMX doesn't do much in this at all, skip this track, as it ...

Review of And Then There Was X [PA] - DMX

...really does have the history and previous experiences to back up his lyrics.. thats what gives him his effect. I am far from a fan of gangsta Hip Hop.. infact I have an immense dislike for it, but And Then There Was X actually isnt too bad. I wasnt a great fan of previous albums, but there is an energy in this latest effort that one cant help enjoying. Okay the lyrics arent exactly groundbreaking.. but for some reason on this album they seem to ...
...the beats make you move and still sound fresh months after. Full of commercial appeal yes, infact it sounds completely sold out, but who cares.. its fun.. This album is a must for the gangsta fans, and a decent purchase for us 'Native Tongue' fans.. very rarely does an album have crossover appeal nowadays but D may very well have found a formula, lets hope he will be able to keep to this up.. if he can stay sane that is ;) ...

Review of And Then There Was X [PA] - DMX

...album out. Its called ... And Than There Was X Once again X is back with another great album which again proves that he is up there with the best in the rap game. This new album has it all a deep meaning, great tunes, and the beats are pumpin. X just can not be touched and this new album proves that when you are true to the industry then the industry will be true to you. I love how DMX uses his life experiences on this album to express himself and ...
...you like it or not and this time its no different. This album however, still does not quite have that touch that 'Its Dark' had but, I still think just as highly of this album. He has quite a number of greats on this album but two that I really like are "Whats my name"(and the video) and "Party up" which he does alone. And as we saw during the summer, this song featured in the Gone in 60 seconds soundtrck, which was also cool. This song is just another ...

Review of And Then There Was X [PA] - DMX

...He invented his own style and it works. His deep and raspy voice shouts out the lyrics to rhythms that get stuck in your head. He came up with this style long before Ja Rule and doesn't it better than Ja Rule. He even raps in a tone and pace where you can learn the lyrics. "Party Up (Up in Here)" is the fastest paced song and you can still understand it. It is one of those songs you'll hear at a dance club. You could say that about "Good Girls, Bad ...
...like it is his last and it shows. To sum it up. If you like meaningful lyrics, good rhythms, a rapper that speaks clearly, and an album that is addictive. Then this is an album to buy. Not to rent or borrow. Buy it and leave it you cd player because if you borrow it you'll never want to give it back. Also, if you have a good system in your car then this is the perfect album to listen to. It makes driving fun. You know, he makes a good rhythm, the ...

Review of And Then There Was X [PA] - DMX

...the third album from DMX and it is even better than the first two, which were both excellent. The tracks on this album follow the same style as his previous two albums, so if you like them then you will like this. There are a lot really good tracks on this album such as One More Road To Cross, Fame, Here We Go Again, Party Up, What's My Name? and What These Bitches Want, which features Sisqo. This is an album that anyone who likes hip-hop/rap should ...

Review of And Then There Was X [PA] - DMX

...only rapper to do this and so this is a massive accomplishment on its own. DMX’s albums always have at least one song that sticks out and charts very high. For this album it would be Party Up. This is a brilliant song and a hip-hop classic. Good song to bop your head along to accompanied with a wicked beat. Songs that stand out on this album are One more road to cross, party up and what these bi*chs want. The bonus track I think completes the album ...
...Bad Guys” as its catchy lyrics and good beat will make you love this tune. Overall it is a standard DMX album that people have come to expect. Its defiantly on to add to your collection as DMX will soon establish himself as one of hip-hops all-time greats. ...

Review of And Then There Was X [PA] - DMX

...two albums were very consistent and brought the rugged DMX through with quality. And Then There Was X however has been brought down to the commercial level. A sell out. Swizz Beatz churns his monchrome one dimensional beats once again here, the albums downfall. There are a lot of weak tracks on the album, Party Up, What its like featuring Sisqo was just completely boring, the second verse with just girls names was an insult to the hiphop culture. ...

Review of And Then There Was X [PA] - DMX

...hooked. I always liked Eminem and thought nohing would compare to him but after listening to DMX i realised how wrong i was. Not only does DMX express himself in a way that i can relate to but he changes his style alot which makes the album more varied!As you can imagine i went out and brought the album the very next week i was soo obsessed. BUT for all you girls out there he isnt just one of the best hip hop artists around he is also very fit! With ...

Review of And Then There Was X [PA] - DMX

...anticipating this release from X, and he did not disappoint! This is another hot album and proves that DMX is one of the most talented and inspired lyrical poets of hip hop today. How many other artists break out and release 3 albums in 2 years? He's got a gift that other artists could only wish for. If you've heard and liked DMX's other albums you won't be disappointed by this one. All the songs are tight. The bonus track "Good Girls, Bad Guys" ...
