- www.vladtv.com/ - Famed producer and rapper Swizz Beatz shares his thoughts on DMX's troubles being cast out in the media, and explains why he believes the "What's My Name" rapper often gets into trouble. He also reveals if they're currently working on a project, and compares DMX's work to that of Tupac.
ive always said X was similar to pac they both have that energy and passion in their songs
reign i thought that when im in my dmx mode but when u get on tupac mode is different
homie.. listen to pac-hellrazor i aint never heard anything that passionate & energetic than that
far as on record I meant but on stage dmx got that
Pac & DMX understood emotional content - which is what art really is - can you change someones mood? that's what made them great
Dmx potential wise for sure was the closest thing to pac
+KnucklesSkills 2PAC >>>>>>>>>>>>DMX
hhmmm both are hard to say. poth were quiet poetic however i would say dmx was more lyirical in his day then pac i feel. at the sametime i dunno its hard to say....dmx was really in dem streets though we do kno that.
agthaog1986
2pac was more lyrical , spellbound is good but 2pac was blazin back in 89 to 91
Panther power
Static
Never b beat
Never b beat O.G
Let them thangs go
Wherever u r (Kane)
ETC
You know DMX is on another level when he can make grown thugs cry during prayer. Respect.
There will only be one PAC and there will only be one X.
Both Legends in the game.
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
X is the Kobe to Pac's Jordan
Co Sign
wrong!!
pimpmastaa101 Pac Is Dr J
pimpmastaa101 Dmx Is Dr J Jr
Young nasty Nas right
DMX is a top ten rapper all-time.
*****
1. JAY Z
2. Biggie
3. NAS
4. Eminem
5. Kanye West
...
???
***** Nicki Minaj??? > Kanye West, Eminem, etc. That's a joke.
***** That's why you've got to separate your interest from the question a little. Were talking greatest all-time. You've got to factor more than just your interest into the equation. Factor in accolades, sells, respect, etc. You can't sit here and tell me Nicki Minaj is greater than Kanye West, Eminem, and more. She hasn't even been rapping that long, and lacks the accolades.
This not just for this, but any debate about greatest of all-time in anything.
+Candy Man wow....
OGG Prince OG Maco? LMFAO!
X the heart and soul of New York.
X is what Pac would be if Pac had never left New York.
2pac is the GOAT plain and simple. The swagger, charisma, intelligence, passion, heart, voice and everything. Look at the people who got a pac story, its always top shelf. All the people who got nothing but love for pac is incredible. Thats what makes him the greatest ever.
Prince T #FACTS!
respect to swizz for being a good friend
Raj Singh Word!
a would say a brother, Swizz so real, never turned his back on X 🙏
DMX has touched many lives for real and that's what's missing in mainstream Hip-Hop.
DMX is one of the best rappers in the game
On some real, it hurts to see my boy DMX the way he is. I still blasts his first 3 albums. That dude had a serious flow and was real.
And wrote everything himself
@@jakubfoltyn5550 DMX is gone he died yesterday from a heart attack R I P DMX December 8 1970-April 9 2021
RIP to both DMX and Tupac both had a old soul and you can tell by how they carried themselves and their music besides their flaws.
The only similiaties about 2Pac and DMX is that they are both real. That's why the are both my favvuoitr rappers. RIP 2Pac and DMX. We love you!
2pac is the Goat
I believe that Aaliyah's death really had an impact on DMX. He has never been the same since she died in 2001.
dmx is really slept on, and i feel as though people have forgotten about the classic music he's put out. this comparison is valid in my opinion
Swizzy is right. I've been feeling this way about Pac and X for a while. Glad he pointed this out
Why all the dislikes? It never once crossed your mind that DMX was in some ways similar to Pac?
DMX is just too deep for some peeps. X has way too strong of messages in his music. Pac was more of OutLaw type. Both has a thing for knowledge,History. X all the way for me thou...
What?
@@tupacgoat3274 can't you read it?
@@huhh6967 I was being sarcastic but you not smart enough to see that.
You riding Pac to hard
PAC THE GOAT
2pac definitely had more influence than Dmx,but you really can't compare the two.
only thing Pac and DMX have in common is a passionate delivery in music......as a fan of both, DMX's music is relative to his own life experiences, while Pac's music was mostly from a societal viewpoint (although he also had music from his perspective) songs like Wonda Why They Call U Bitch, Shorty Wanna Be A Thug, Brenda's Got a Baby, Trapped, White Manz World and so on are not stories directly from Pac's life but rather stories he may have seen others around him go through
I don think its a comparisons. While both are compassionate men who rap from a standpoint of pain, PAC can motivate you, spoke on the ills of the Black community, Spoke on up lifting women in the Black community, PAC had far more to him then what EAST people give him credit for.
Long Live Pac the King of hip hop, 803
DMX was always in touch to his spiritual side. Alot people say they see Pac in Dog..
Tupac and DMX did not hang together. Stop making up crap
He didn't say tht
+Randy McDandy in a freestyle he did.. x did diss pac
Blade The Slayer agree bruh, imagine if they'd ever collab pac with his passion and dmx with his aggression!!!!
stop comparing legends
Pac my favorite rapper but I can see why people would say this and i wouldn't be mad... people act like it's impossible to like both.
DMX goes hard.
They both were old souls just like pimp c. 💯
if u listen carefully to pacs music he wasnt gangsta. the image was 'hard' bcoz his life growing up was 'hard'. his lyrics were 9 times out of 10 to motive the people at the bottom to get to the top.
THEY DONT UNDERSTAND PAC'S CUTURAL IMPACT. HE WAS A GREAT RAPPER BUT AN EVEN GREATER PERSON....
2Pac way better no comparing
Dmx stole Tupac style.they all did
Comparison is they're similar. No need to hate although I have Pac as better too
James Slate a damn lie man DMX original can people stop the comparison and just appreciate two great rappers
Thuglife was a brand...Pac was ahead of his time!
nobody knew pac did ballerina until he himself told us. he wasnt ashamed of it nor did he try to hide it
Stop comparing legends to different artists! It just shouldn't be done.. period!
In 1986, the family relocated to Baltimore, Maryland.[19] After completing his second year at Paul Laurence Dunbar High School, he transferred to the Baltimore School for the Arts, where he studied acting, poetry, jazz, and ballet.[20] He performed in Shakespeare plays, and in the role of the Mouse King in the ballet The Nutcracker-tupac
When you see X’s woodstock concert,there’s that same energy Pac had when it comes to performance,Pac’s been dead for over 26 years now but there is a lot of people talking about Pac daily,listening to his music daily and this says a lot,i think even if DMX isn’t in people’s mouths daily his music will be listened for as long as Pac’s
Whoever says dmx a crackhead or pac a pothead. You don't know shit and are just running your mouth when you clearly don't know what your talking about.
You can't compare anyone to pac its that simply and dmx is the same way and respects pac. Last time i checked you should listen to the words instead of judging someone by what they did. Now that pathetic pac and dmx both had their own opinions on how things should go or be done.
Whoever's doing that you are just disrespecting both pac and dmx and the other rappers that came before them that touched the mic with the same heart.
By the way dmx is not the first rap artist to do crack.
2 sides of the same coin. As much as they were similar, they were different. Most of all, they were both rough, rugged and real.
I got DMX behind pac and biggie
DMX is not trying to fit in, everybody is trying to fit in. He is just himself
Believe me.. this is stupid... if 2pac was alive they would be a friends, because they are a real..!!
They actually beefed when Pac was alive and X released a diss. Google it.
Pac was a street poet too tho he was the voice of the ghetto
lol its a lot of dummies on youtube. "pac was very overrated" -nah homie 2pac was and is the greatest rapper of all time "dmx makes dance records" -nah bruh dmx has a track specifically called i don't dance. if you don't like DMX and/or 2pac why in the blue hell did you click a video titled "Swizz Beatz Compares DMX to Tupac"?
2pac made hip hop worldwide
Naa eminem did that
hahaha
erald188 my nigga em sold over 45 million copies and tupac sold 75 million and still selling to this day but em is the only one closer to tupac from selling the most copies. so now you know that you where wrong.
Joshua Gomez wow u are fucking dumb eminem is the highest selling hip hop artist ever sold over 115 million
Lmao calm down little nigga that's not true just because you're a Em fan and wanna believe what Eminem fans told you, you should do you're research and see if its true because lil nigga there are documents of proof that PAC sold the most records so Stfu and do some research before you comment another bullshit like this
I can see the similarities. Both of them were very unique talents. X was the better rapper, Pac was the better artist.
Will Melvin Tupac always said if a better Artist popped up that he wouldn't hate. He would kindly step to the side. Also, said, because that meant his time was over.
I can see that dmx is similar to tupac in many ways.
The story about Pac not being able to sell drugs is the realest thing ever, it's not cool to enable someones addiction and take away their means of living, plus he didn't rap about selling drugs... The reason Pac is considered real is because he spoke on some real shit about the environment that he was from. Also, he spoke on being oppressed by police/govt etc. and actually did something about it. Also, Drake isn't disliked because he was an actor. Most rappers venture into acting.
there is no comparison, DMX is not even on the same planet as Pac. I love his music tho, Pac was just so much more then a rapper or actor
I love Pac but he became alot bigger than he was because of his death. The crazy thing is DMX had wrote a diss to Pac that was suppose to come out in '96 but he ended up getting killed. The song "Get at me Dog" there was a verse from it that was for Pac. I would have loved to see them go at it. Honestly sometimes i feel like people get too caught up with Pac i don't want to call him overrated but idk sometimes still love him though.....
But they were both on Earth...
Gerald Merritt Actually, Pac reached legendary status during his life time. There were two events that catapulted him into being one of the few artists to reach martyrdom while he was still alive. One was when he shot two crooked cops and got off in court. The other was his Me Against The World album that came out while he was in prison. Every rapper, whether legend, rookie or underground had Pac on their album while he was alive. His death only made shot him to an even higher stratosphere but he was definitely iconic during his life.
Gerald Merritt On another note: Pac and DMX are not lyricists (word smiths). They are poets. They rap for an entirely different purpose than lyricists. As poets, they are the two best in the game. For lyricists, you'd have to consider Jay Z, Nas, and people like that.
they got the best voice in the history of hip hop
X is the closest thing to pac thet got real music you can relate to
exactly..i got mad love for DMX but pac was never a crackhead. DMX created his own downfall.
The only people that says Pac was whack, or wasn't the best are people from NY. The rest of the world knows and agree that Pac is the GOAT. Nuff said.
Physically,they kinda favor each other.Wild..energetic.
But musically,Pac totally shits on DMX.Pac was never on drugs running through hotel lobbies.X is gritty,but he doesn't have the artistic depth that Pac had.Nowhere close to seeing Pac as a visionary..X more of a street poet? lol..Pac was the very essence of the streets/have nots..X has some great songs,but I don't think he's a great artist."Slipping" & "Niggaz Done Started Something" are his two best songs IMO.Pac could top that on 1 album
I think if pac was alive they would be good friends
Pac had One album that YOU could only play from start to finish .. You don't speak for all of us. PAC was deep and it took a very intelligent person to listen to his albums from start to finish.. So i know there would be some people that would say pacs music wasn't all that but that is cool. Not everybody is on his level.
Cap 🧢 you crazy I can name five albums of Pacs you can play front to back , Me Against The World, Makaveli, All Eyes On Me, Thug Life Volume One, and Tupac and The Outlaws Still I Rise , lol 😂 smh 🤦🏽♂️ you got PAC messed up
With Hip-Hop fans, it's about representation. Drake & 2pac represent two different type of people. Drake represents The Gentleman, 2pac represents The Gangsta. Hip-Hop came from black youths in the ghetto, the majority will cling to the gangsta before they cling to the gentleman.
there are alot of similarities between the two...both can make the hardcore music, deep inspirational music and music for the ladies, both were big movie stars and both had two number one albums in same year, pac in 96 and X in 98, both were very emotional and passionate, but the difference is pac came first and you have to wonder if X would of had a successful career if pac was still alive because of the similarities, their would of been enough room in the industry for just one!!!
Idk what you talking about DMX, along like Jay Z were rapping before Pac's death but didn't get noticed until after Pac's death. DMX even dissed Pac and the west coast. When they were branding DMX, they made him look like a 2pac. So he's guilty of it too.
Rick Harding rick im not sure what point you trying to make, their is no big secret dmx was rapping while pac was alive but no one took notice of him til after pac death...my comment just pointed out a few similarities between the two and because of those similarities I dont think X would of been a big star if pac was still alive!!!
Mike Gillins
X rapped but didnt blow up cause had no album, If he came out with his 1st album he woulda took the spotlight , mayb not off 2pac but he woulda been talked about for a while , cause remember one nation & Deathrow East woulda been huge but DMX is the last built for war rapper & speaks raw from the heart , so people woupda recognized real , he woulda still been X
You know what I'll say to this there's nobody comparable to Tupac nobody in the rap game did what he did and he accomplished a lot with his music and acting in poetry I mean he was smart intelligent and political so you throw Tupac and a category of DMX comparisons like they both had the same lifestyle both had different wrapping technique's and both are one of the same to each other so Tupac has a big message and his music talk about what's going on the streets in the hood kid to die I mean everything DMX to have to same subject matter like both came from the streets both grew up poor and everything else so there's comparisons with them I mean that's all I got to say RIP Tupac and hopefully DMX get through his demons and drug abuse so yeah that's all I got to say can't wait for the movie the Tupac movie and everything else is induction to the rock 'n' roll Hall of Fame as well and 2017 is going to be a landmark year for PAC his legacy continues to live on forever almost 21 years later a lot of rappers are influenced by him including DMX so that's why Tupac spirit so powerful and his legacy as well it was only one Tupac don't never be another case closed
Q Smooth
2pac - 25 yrs old & better than everybody
DMX made his debut like at 27 or 28 yrs & was already in his prime but he took a while makin his debut , Pac was 1 yr younger & debuted in 1991 ehen X in 1998 , DAMN , 2PAC was ahead of his time , & rapped about everything , X is a goat too , but 2pac takes the # 1 spot while X can b # 2 word is bond
X is a living legend despite his troubles
R I P DMX December 8 1970-2021
It's no comparing Tupac and DMX was so much a like🎶🕊️🎤😓
Pac on the other hand was more of a Scarface(the rapper, not the movie) type rapper.That;s the only rapper I feel is similar to Pac
dark man x was the 2nd 2pac.and still remains in his position today even if he has got a drug problem none of these new rappers could do shit that dmx has done
They're pretty similar rappers. Neither was the most lyrical but continuously stressed their respective views and have both impacted the world today. They both had insane passion for what they did, even though X had way more. Both were the only ones to have 2 number one albums in one year.
DMX wasnt a leader or a survivor like pac was. DMX was jus a venter. from wat i know DMX would cry about the trouble he got himself into. pac and DMX are not the same not even similar.
Wanted to hear more.. Great interview
DMX and Tupac def have similarities mannnnn. Trillz
pac is defintely like a book bcoz u have to really study and read into him to understand the mastermind he was. alot of people jus judge him from wat the can see visually. i used to think pac was gangsta until i watched documentaries and read books about him. if u do the same u will notice pac was cut from the same cloth as MLK, malcolm X, HP newton, G pratt and mutulu shakur.
I admit I don't listen to much Drake but, from what I've heard from him he is pretty emotional, as was Pac. The major difference between them though is that Drake seems emotional over an ex girl, while Pac was (to use your example) emotional about people starving and suffering from addictions.
There's a bit of a gap between those two subjects. (not to mention the gap concerning musical ability)
Can wait for DMX's new album being produced by Swizz Beatz. If they have the same fire in their eyes as before it's going to be an amazing album.
Love this interview
2 Pac was is and will always be the Realist DMX comes in close 2nd Pac had Politial and Street real life shit DMX just the harsh realities of where he was from and his area. Pac was world wide. 50 cent is just trying to get a grip on their shoe strings, and Now all were left with is Ice Cube oldies. EasyE and Pac will always be Kings.
Great Vid! Its funny, because I've always wondered how it would be, if X and Pac were around at the same time.
On top of that, thuglife wasn't about gangsta shit.Pac didn't even come up with that himself.His step father Mutulu Shakur and a few other cats he was in prison with did.They just wanted Pac to be a spokesperson for that shit.It was basically a code of ethics for streets dudes to follow in order to keep their neighborhoods safe.T
Pac didnt have to love it he knew it
All those MC you called every last one one them excluding Big sampled Pac. How real is that!!!!
If tupac lived long enough to see the growth of hip hop he be on a another level dmx comparison no disrespect is a joke
Comparing dude to Tupac Shakur is just disrespectful, he's nothing like Makaveli.
X and Pac both came wit real & relevant music that crosses time barriers and touches the soul. I fuck wit both. Two of the greatest ever to do this rap shit in my opinion
Anybody know where his sweater is from?
DMX and TUPAC go together they both raw
I'm really tired of people saying great lyricist are great rappers.. To me it's all about music. DMX makes MUSIC. He makes epic ground breaking HITS. If you are a great lyricist then go write a poem or a book.. But don't compare your self to people who make actual music.
Omar Wilson Feat. DMX - Faith - new one.
Hold the line was come out 1 year ago
I think DMX is deep like Tupac.
Hip hop ain't shit without the best coming together giving the fans what they really want
What kind of sunglasses?
DMX don't speak out against injustice or spread wealth. He is a better lyricist tho that's all
Great vid. Well done Swizz. Appreciate the interview.
I like DMX’s music more than Tupac but I loved both of them. They were also the best looking rapper and they were not vain. They were so blessed.
WHAT BRAND BASEBALL CAP IS THAT?
Tupac is not on Dmx level? Did I read that correct!?
But yeah man, much respect! I can tell you're a true hip hop head.Not everybody's going to see eye to eye.
i love DMX but u cant compare him to 2pac at all..pac was on another level then DMX. X being a crackhead created his own downfall. period.
There's a reason DMX and 2Pac hung together.. This isn't nothing new that they're similar to one another.
What they both spoke is truth and they weren't afraid to speak it.
I never take Swizz seriously especially after that headphones commercial but he said some real shit here
Dmx an tupac my favorite all time point blank
Dmx got a lot of knowledge but the guy doesn't know how to use google.
***** He's one of my favourite rappers
Tupac and dmx in their prime would be magic and i know nothing would happen between theme cause pac and x are real they never lie and they both have rhymes and lyrics for days plus the way they grew up as far as poverty their like the same they both have street attitude and they both have a real attitude
