DMX and Swizz Beatz: the definition of loyalty.
And the definition of Real hip hop
@@trentyates418 these fucking retarded rappers of today can never come close to ruff riders creativity.
And the definition of chemistery
@@miguelmejia4656 Right. These rappers today couldn't handle them. They would get hurt
You mean the nephew that kept a leash on him after X went a-wall...........
No one really gives Dame Grease his flowers. It’s Dark and Hell is Hot was a masterpiece that he largely produced.
Damien was his sickest production!
FACTS I C U KNOW VACANT LOT PRODUCTIONS I BELIEVE
Big facts
pretty lady :)
Dame grease is one of the greatest producers to come out of the ny hip hop scene
Who else grew up listening to DMX and the Ruff Ryders? Best hip hop era ever kids today missed out on this.
Umm everyone that watches this
I did as well,still remember how hard it was to get tre rr cds 💿 or cassettes here in Russia ✌🏾
Mane I’m frm Houston and i remember when it’s dark and hell is hot and stealing the the cd frm my older sister 😂. I was in 5th grade and that album was a classic! That era of rap was legendary
Swizz was still in school after a lot of these songs dropped. We went to an alternative High School and i remember riding the Marta w/ him and Yung Won talking about making music w/ X and Jay-Z and ppl was laughing when claimed producer credit. He left for a few weeks came back talked to the teachers and wasn't seen again....that is until Eve 1st video single dropped showcasing Swizzy loud and clear. Proud for all your accomplishments.

It was elementary. At the start of the track I'm sure DMX says "something new" like it was an experimental bouncy track for the mainstream.

A real life lesson there. Blood is thicker than water. Be smart, play your cards right when dealing with others because at the end of the day they gonna choose family over you. Swizz beats is widely known and credited for RR while most people dont even know how talented Grease is and what hes done for the 90's rap game.
With family, you can control the situation how you want to. Especially when they're young.
@@enzigenes agreed
Best comment I've read
DAME GREASE =IT'S DARK AND HELL IS HOT... X AND DAME ARE LIKE SHAQ AND KOBE
@@MrMG76 That's for sure.
I mess with Swizz but I definitely understand PK and Dame. Grease is one of the most under-appreciated producers
True. All the songs on DMXs albums that i thought where phenomenal were by grease. They were just not commercial. But they are timeless.
I think it's PK not DJ
Grease is slept on. People don't know how many dope joints he made
@@inzodarello7251 and sick as hell
He's a better producer than swizz, swizz was given first priority because he. was a punching mag. They were able to manipulate swiss. Grease and PK were not suckers. So they had to get them out the way. Grease is a phenomenal producer.
@4.04 DMX says 'I pay them no mind'- his one liners always make me chuckle!
Can’t be mad that Swiss made his way through. His beats is crazy. Nephew or not, he developed a sound that rap fans love. DMX’s album wouldn’t have been what it was without that “Ruff Ryders Anthem” track.
Exactly. "Ruff Ryders Anthem" made DMX into an international superstar.
I was 7 years old when Ruff Ryder's Anthem came out and I remember the video being played all the time.
I remember being the same age and all the older kids in my hood screaming the hook together at the park
I was 7 too lol I feel old
Should have seen the energy in clubs when that came on.
So basically everyone was clowning on him and not realizing they were sitting on a gold mine because they was too envious...
They'll tell you negative things cause you're talented
@@mariobtron5907 bible says they will hate you for the truth but forgive you for the lies. Shouldn't it be the other way around though???
No..swizz just got better and surpassed the others. but PK and the others were better... but swizz stole that triton demo lmao and it was a wrap after that. I wanted to be like swizz growing up lol.
Or just short sighted
That's how alot of empires, groups and families fell over the course of Human Civilization...
That first DMX album Its dark and hell is hot was one of the best hip hop albums ever made. I grew up in my teens listening to that album.
My favourite the second album it's so energetic and raw

@@ednice1345 not just X but Jay Z too. Ppl don't give Irv enough credit for it.
Dmx need a biopic
his story doc
Classic. There aren't many albums that have no skips, for me at least, but It's Dark And Hell Is Hot is one them. It held up so well, to this day it's just as powerful, atmospheric, and haunting.
My favorite album
Swizz was ahead of his time and he had numerous classics under his belt...salute a 🐐 when you see one
The producers on the label was jealous of him because he prospered quickly. Some people just prosper quickly at certain things.
And swizz went for his. He didnt wait for other producers to make beats. He just progressed much better
That's not true! They was mad cause THEY worked the whole album, swiss worked on ONE joint. Infact, if swiss wasn't related to ppl, he wouldn't have even got that shot.
YOU LITTLE YOUNG ASS DUDES DON'T KNOW SHIT, WAS YOU EVEN BORN IN 98? herb.
Yeah, there really is a matter of some people just having "it", you know? It can hurt when someone works at something and someone else just catches on quickly and innovates faster, but it's often someone just stepping into what they're meant to do, or who they're meant to be. We gotta always work on appreciating stuff like this instead of becoming jealous.
The produced majority of its dark and hell is hot and swizz made the hot single but only Swiss got the notoriety from the album. Anyone will feel some type of way, if you build a house and someone comes and decorates but everyone tells the decorator how beautiful the home is without acknowledging the people who designed and built
He was the nephew, he didn't know the business, he was vulnerable, he was taken advantage of, he signed things PK and Grease would never sign, so yea, they made him a first priority.
Idc what anyone says. Had 2Pac & Biggie been alive DMX STILL wudda took over Hip-Hop in 98 🔥🔥🔥
Facts
Lol 98 would have been a crazy year for sure.
Woulda, shoulda, coulda… if if was a spliff 🚬☘️🥴
Get well DMX. WE LOVE YOU!!!! We can’t lose you , not yet. 💙🙏🏽
Had DMX won that card game we would never have been blessed with Ruff Ryder's Anthem. Unbelievable. That was God at work.

The ruff ryders anthem beat by Swiss beatz is literally one of the greatest hip hop beats of all time.
But On The Other Hand "Get At Me Dog" And "Stop Being Greedy" Is So Infectious To The Ears
10:05 How Swizz came at the tale end and he made the 1 record that REALLY poped RUFF RYDER off??
The Anthem made Ruff Ryders.

Bruh DMX was like an unstoppable force of nature. Seemed like back then he was putting out two albums a year or something and everyone going platinum. X is without a doubt a true living legend of Hip Hop.
💯
Ruff Ryders anthem was huge in the South. Swizz, knowingly or not, produced a record that resonated down here. And it was probably due to his GA links. I remember thinking it felt like a Southern type of record but soooooo New York. DMX was that dud from 98 to 00.
98-2006

Dame Grease a legend!
Underrated!
Grease's Introduction
On X 1st Album Was Scorching!!!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
He's extremely underrated.
Pk a hater. Swiss stayed locked in and focused on his craft and became a legendary producer that’s still giving us bangers. Prime example to always work hard and keep doing what you love
Idk about all that. Swizz worked/works hard yes, but he obviously got ahead & given more shots him being
their family. He wasnt a solid producer & overall is what made RR sound sound dated with them cheap casio beats (a few exceptions tho!).
Grease & PK were more established & had produced more & for bigger artists already, at least Grease.
MaadAzzGang I get what you saying, but keep in my mind, outside of ruff ryders, swizz made beats for Memphis Bleek, Cam’ron, Nore, Busta Rhymes, flipmode squad , and the lox while they were on bad boy. Did his uncles look out to a certain extent? Yes but his uncles made sure he proved his self before throwing him on albums. They threw one of his beat cds out the window lol. What has PK done recently? Dame grease is still producing and putting in work
@@andrewpeterson285 Swizz was also accused of stealing beats at the time as well tho. Like Nore's "Banned from TV", DJ Shok allegedly played Dee the demo, Swizz re-made it & put his name on it. He's been accused of that many times.
Yeah maybe you're right. Maybe they didnt work as hard as Swizz but i still think a large part is due to him being their nephew.
Swizz established the RR sound. End off. PK being salty.
No pk was being honest... Look at dmx and the lox 1st album, swizz only did 1 track on each of those albums and none on mase.. Then lox and dmx 2nd album.. Swizz produced bulk of the album and Ryde or die volume 1.. Pk produced only by the song on each of those albums.. It was a complete flip in 1 year.. Pk didn't get to be a primary producer again till styles p gangster and a gentleman album.. Where he did 4 tracks..
Never knew Swiss was the nephew of the boys 🇮🇪🇮🇪🙌

Dmx better than 2pac
@MFS whatever
X would rip Pac. X was raw
@MFS if X is not raw or better. Who is he Then?
“Pay them no mind , that’s the only thing I was paying them “ 😂😂
A big thing you don't really hear in a lot of hip hop documentaries and even less concerning things from the city itself is that Atlanta was really an integral crockpot and weight station for an enormous chunk of hip hop. You'd never know that from listening to the radio there now, but it really was the epicenter for a lot of hip hop artist from all over the country, and it seems like very few people highlight that. Either way I'm loving this documentary.
Because of Erick Sermon. There was no Hip Hop scene in Atlanta until he got there.
In the end Swiss came out with something amazing and better than the rest. He deserves the recognition.
Yeah but at the end of the day they taught him everything he know 🤷♂️
Pray for DMX
Seeing how music comes together is incredible, you never know when a moment in history can be created
Rest in peace DMX all dogs goes to heaven 💯🙏🏿🕊️

Yeah
It's crazy how underrated a producer is. Swizz Beatz helped DMX obtain his first hit single with "Ruff Ryder's Anthem", just like Irv Gotti helped Ja Rule with "Between Me And You".
Ja Rule had two hits before Between Me and You. He had Holla Holla, and Can I get A with Jay Z.
Get at me Dog by Dame Grease was his first hit and set the stage for everything else.DAME gets NO CREDIT
7 areallius produced those hit records for Ja rule not Irv Gotti.
@@ApexNYC Irv Produced Can I get A with Jay, and Holla Holla. Irv did a lot of tracks. I can't name them all.
Not those first records.Im talking Murder Inc hits with Ja and Ashanti.His biggest songs with J-lo,Mary j blige,Bobby brown," i wanna be your chick" etc Just check the credits. Google : 7 arelius or Channel 7.That is the guy who was behind the boards on those records.Irv got a lot of credit for his work.Not saying Irv dont produce,just not everything people THINK he did but give this man his props.Til this day people still think Swizz did " I get money" for 50 cent.lmao
Get well soon DMX ,
My man DMX said about the cab "I'm not paying...No mind. 🤣🤣🤣
Give Pk and Grease they flowers 👏🏾 the music industry is shady asf
How is it shady if swiss is a better producer? Swiss have worked with everyone in the biz, why couldn't the jealous ones prove their worth and do the same? Did someone force jay-z to take swiss tracks or Beyonce or ja rule or puff or Luda ?
@@bjvu9460 Swizz had some good production at one time but he is overrated as hell. While he gets credit for the birth of RR, that doesn't mean he was a better producer.
@@bjvu9460 Much of Swizz's keyboard-based beats were cheesy and basic. All the best beats on the classic It's Dark and Hell is Hot were produced by Dame Grease and PK, and certainly Flesh of My Flesh would've been a better album if it had more Dame Grease/PK type production instead of Swizz. The same is true for the Ruff Ryders compilation albums, and especially the Drag-On album. Swizz really ruined that Drag-On album, which is unfortunate because Drag-On had an interesting style. The thing is, keyboard beats were beginning to become more popular at that point in time, with Mannie Fresh, The Neptunes, and Timbaland gaining popularity. Sample-based beats stopped being popular for a few years until Jay-Z's Blueprint in 2001. So, since Dame Grease beats were more sample-based and grimey, he wasn't nearly as popular or in-demand as Swizz. I do give Swizz credit for making all those club songs which made X a bigger household name, but I personally never liked most of those joints. I'll take "Stop Being Greedy" over "Party Up" any day.
@@LastBrefcome on Party Up is a hit Swiss was being himself come on I know all his beats may have not been perfect but come on if X could flow on the beat that’s all that matters

Swiss is talented, but I’m sorry. That NYC 1998 sound that got us out of that Jiggy era of Puffy, was Dame Grease. Period.

He's rather overrated imo. He cannot fuck with greats like Premo, RZA, Marley Marl, DJ Quik, Battlecat, J Dilla, DJ Scratch, Just Blaze, Erick Sermon or Timbaland.
@@rikkidgermano9640 dat boy RZA da real G.O.A.T.!!... man the purple tape alone put him at the top for me,...not to mention all the other Wu albums like Return of 36 Chambers, Wu Tang forever and Supreme Clientele etc..Primo another one dats slept on...all the production he did for NaS and other NYC rappers..and Vlad say NaS don't know how to pick beats. But yeah I wouldn't say Swizz is "overrated" but he ain't in the elite category like a RZA Primo or a Dr.Dre
Swizz sound was special and changed hip hop. Was nothing like anyone before him. If you were in the clubs at that time youd know this. He made his own blueprint with the korg triton.
Swizz is my age and DMX was my generation of music ... so proud to be from this era of music.
DMX said I pay them no mind, lol lol classic! 2021
I still remember getting X's first album in 98. I think it came with a compilation disk introducing the ruff ryders and had the LL Cool J diss track to Cannibus called Can I bust does anyone else out there remember this?
Yep, yet my sick & twisted Jehovah’s Witness nan felt to give another relative permission to steal my whole entire rap collection as punishment for exposing abuse within the family... 😥
I remember reciting DMX's Prayer #1 for a poetry assignment in 2000 English class. While everyone else was choosing the likes of Langston Hughes, Maya Angelou, and others, I chose X; and moved the whole room! X was that dude and I don't think he gets enough appreciation from the Hip Hop community for his impact.
"It's Dark and Hell is Hot" and is my favorite rap album (if not my favorite musical album) - It saved me from MYSELF. Rest easy DMX, thank you for that masterpiece.
My Man Grease never ever gets the love he deserves...And he's a great guy ,and he stays humble as well
