Hip Hop/Rap Appreciation thread

OK so i've been thinking about this a lot recently and i'm convinced that DMX has one of the best flows *when he is on form*. Now give me a few minutes, i realise he has had a lot of shit tracks but here we go:

The first time i ever heard DMX was in 1995 on Mic Geronimo's album and he sounded exactly up my street:


Then he was on 4, 3, 2, 1. This track had Method Man, Redman, LL Cool J, Canibus and DMX all on the same song, while it was argued the beef between LL and Canibus overshadowed the others, i believe that DMX stole this whole thing with his delivery:


Next up he was on The Lox song, Money, Power, Respect and this is one of my favourite bars of all time, he delivers on every lyric:


The next year he released In Hell its Hot and it had some serious bangers:
Intro:


Damien

and also a couple tracks from Flesh of my Flesh.

From the Belly sountrack:

There are def others but his flow and delivery IMO is perfect for some situations, although he has had a hard fall and delivered a lot of shit since.

Some good tracks but hard to listen to his voice for any length of time.

I suppose its down the personal taste, i don't really like the barking and the constant WHAT shouting, but when he delivers bars in his flow i think he can ride a beat better than most people. For instance, i don't personally feel that Eminem can ride a beat like DMX can, but Eminem is undoubtedly a better well-rounded MC.

Benny the butcher, Conway the machine and Westside Gunn have kept that New York Vibe going and are some of my favourite rappers out there! Sean Price and lil fame from M.O.P have an album releasing tomorrow as well!
