That Record was the only one that was censored on his second album Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood (1998) it samples Grover Washington, Jr. (1975) “Feels so Good” .. Grover Washington, Jr. heard the (Explicit) record & said he would only cleared the record if it didn’t have any curses so they added the clean version to the album
My childhood friend who lived in Mount Vernon (which borders New Rochelle and Yonkers, where DMX is from) told me that DMX used to rob people with his attack dogs. You should read his memoir.
What's good fam....X had a drug problem going back to the early 90's in Yonkers. I remember being in Junior High School and hearing about X robbing people with his pitbull. No lie, he was like the Boogie Man, and he had his dog trained to rob you as well. I also remember X selling blank cassette tapes for $5.00 with no songs on them. He ended up robbing a young cat from the projects and his dad who was from I think Brooklyn with a couple of his friends wired X jaw and messed him up pretty bad. But at the end of the day X was a real dude and the whole Yonkers loved him because he represented from before he got his record deal with Def Jam. Him and Jay-Z had a battle at a pool hall in Harlem, I believe, and people say it was legendary. R.I.P to Darkman X 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
A lot of people talk about his drug problem. All those that want to talk mad shit about him. He was introduced to drugs by someone who he was supposed to trust.
This song makes me cry every time I hear it. The pain that he endured throughout his life, he put it all in this record. RIP X, I'll mourn you til I join you 💯💪🏿👑
Mr. West Philadelphia in tha place to be. This is one of tha most underrated Darkest moments in history. Gives me chills every time I hear it. R.I.P DMX!!!
Nas did a song similar in concept called rise and fall. They both talk about humble beginnings, getting on uprising out of it. Also, told in story form like slippin.
@@GIV3nchyxxFacts! I first heard the explicit version around 2008 and it just makes a great song so much better, there's things you miss that you need to hear so you can fully feel it
The only thing i hate about this song is that it's censored lyrics. It's even censored on the explicit album version. But i think the people who allowed X to use the sample said the only way he could use it was to censor the curse words.

For context, X started smoking crack at 14. He got slipped a blunt that was laced and it was on from there. He was 26 by the time he got in the rap game.
Now I know exactly why the CD was only the clean version. Back then you couldn’t talk about doing Coke-a-Cola. Then when he said Crack “Damn look how that Crack got’em” they cut that shot out.
@@sammythatbul1667Unless you were an underground artist. I remember Mack 10 saying: "Im in a murderous mind state I'm on so much dope and coke I can't even do my lines straight"
This was the first single from his second album. He made 2 impeccable albums back to back. To me his third was ok. But the first 2 stayed on heavy rotation for 3 summers
One of the writers of Belly used to hang out at the bar in the Farmer's Market on Fairfax & 3rd Street in Los Angeles. He may still frequent it but I left LA on New Years Eve in 2020.
If you wanna do a real deep dive, listen to his first ever single, "Born Loser". It's so old, that his rap name at the time was still Dark Man X. A WHOLE different vibe..... But it was still X. If you hear it, you'll understand what i mean.
Bro, if you ever feel like switching it up a lil and hear a female spit fire. Check out Lil Kim Lighters Up. 🔥🔥🔥 Side note: Lauryn Hill is the greatest female rapper of her generation.
Keep watching! I ran the uncensored version! #dextv

One thing about X he wrote his pain, I remember seeing him perform this live he made the entire crowd cry 😂
Me too… he performed in Omaha NE in 05 (my first concert)
Facts
This always bring a tear to my eyes. At 45 yrs old now and this was my jam from the day it dropped.
Growing up with mom only to guide me.
This was one of those tracks we didn't mind the no cussing. The sentiments of this song was beyond any censorship. We grew up on this video.
This song makes me cry every time I hear it. The pain that he endured throughout his life, he put it all in this record. RIP X, I'll mourn you til I join you 💯💪🏿👑
When X came out i loved it! You could hear the emotion in his voice. His first album was fire 🔥
Glad you back on DMX. One of the GOATs
🔥🔥….X that dude!!….
Dmx ….I can feel it
Dmx n Nas….life is what you make it
Dmx ….for my dogs.
Mr. West Philadelphia in tha place to be. This is one of tha most underrated Darkest moments in history. Gives me chills every time I hear it. R.I.P DMX!!!
"Here we go again" great DMX storytelling track
Up to this day, still my favourite hip hop song. I feel like I'm walking in X shoes whenever I hear this, how he puts his life in words so vividly
DMX THE GREAT! GREAT AT TAPPING INTO EMOTION.
Finally some dmx!!!! Top 5 dead or alive. Dmx let me fly next!!
Top 1 all by hisself
Yeah man. X was pretty open about his continued struggles with addiction, right up until the year he died. To varying degrees.
Dam X was powerful with the words
It's dark and hell is hot, is an incredible album!
Appreciate you, Dex
One of my favorites from X.
This song makes me cry every damn time 😢
DMX Heat from Flesh of my Flesh, Blood of my Blood
His songs the convo, damien , fucking with d, and here we go again are genuinely next level stuff
Nas did a song similar in concept called rise and fall. They both talk about humble beginnings, getting on uprising out of it. Also, told in story form like slippin.
Rip to the realest nigga i ever met. Never forgot meeting x on 125th street stoppping traffic dolo on a drop top old car with gold rim and hydralics
Greatest rap song ever✌🏽🧡
Gives me goosebumps every single time
Damn, shout out Dex for finding an explicit version of the song. I didn't know it was out there. But i never found the time to look for it.
Yes been out there brother that’s the only one I have on my phone
@@GIV3nchyxxFacts! I first heard the explicit version around 2008 and it just makes a great song so much better, there's things you miss that you need to hear so you can fully feel it
Had 2 lock in 4 dis song.. got me through a lot growing up 🥴😎🐐🕯️
This is probably the only song that the censored version is better than the uncensored version .
🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🐐
The only thing i hate about this song is that it's censored lyrics. It's even censored on the explicit album version. But i think the people who allowed X to use the sample said the only way he could use it was to censor the curse words.
The explicit version is now available on UA-cam or pirate
@@kptecx-xs2dw OK gang stalker. Get a life and get out of mine.
The uncensored version is available. They only block out crackk
I think the people who allowed X to use the sample said the only way he could use it was to censor the curse words. It's even censored on the explicit version of the album. I know because i have this album on CD.
Correct Grover Washington, Jr. would only cleared it if only was censored
Grand Finale: DMX , Nas Method Man & JaRule on the Hook.
Streets Raised Me: Mobb Deep feat. Big Noyd

DMX FT Nas - Walking in The Rain 😢
You need to hear DMX "whats my name"
RIP DMX and Mulford Gardens
Keep moving DEX you know I'm a DMX fan I'm still rocking with you bro I'm waiting for you to react to Damien 2
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥RIPOWER X
If you're into autobiographies, X has one of the best. Great book.
X dropped 2 albums in 1998 one in May and one in November
X got a book. I read it in the joint. Definitely tells a sad story
Bro I never heard the dirty version. This was my 8th grade years. Listened to this whole CD on repeat daily. Even the CD was a cut version.
Now I know exactly why the CD was only the clean version. Back then you couldn’t talk about doing Coke-a-Cola. Then when he said Crack
“Damn look how that Crack got’em” they cut that shot out.

@sammythatbul1667 they had to have clean version for marketing purposes on radio stations
DMX,
"Who's Next"
🔥🔥
DMX (RIP)-The Dark Is Here
Ashanti singing on the hook. Someone laced DMX’s blunt with crack when he was a pre teen. 😢
Another banger! 🔥🔥🔥
This was the first single from his second album. He made 2 impeccable albums back to back. To me his third was ok. But the first 2 stayed on heavy rotation for 3 summers
Just listen. You could fill in the blanks with the words he meant.
X is coming
My boy X got hits. You gotta react to Make A Move & More To A Song. 🔥🔥🔥🔥X spits that shit. Hard as fuck
Literally was just playing this classic in my car
Finally, this 1 of them 1s for me personally🫡🫡🙏🙏
1st Lock in
One of my favorites from him. There are a lot.
spark 1 up 🚬🔥 fo dis 1 💨💨
Bro I don’t know if you watched BELLY but you should do a reaction to that movie.
One of the writers of Belly used to hang out at the bar in the Farmer's Market on Fairfax & 3rd Street in Los Angeles. He may still frequent it but I left LA on New Years Eve in 2020.

A WHOLE different vibe..... But it was still X. If you hear it, you'll understand what i mean.
Now check out.I can feel it in the air by beanie siegel it's one of these
The woman he sampled only allowed him to use it if he put it out without the curses, eventually he put out the dirty version anyway
Still waitin for your Reaction on ONYX: THROW YA GUNZ 🔥 🔥 🔥
Last Dayz is better.
Gotta do DMX - STOP BEING GREEDY
Censoring DMX tracks is a sin
Next DMX -- WHATCHA GONNA DO by Jay-O Felony featuring DMX and Method Man.
Check out DMX - Prayer (Skit) & The Convo (Lyrics). It's a skit and song together and it's one of his dopest cuts.
He's already done the convo
It would be kool to see u react to Cam'ron - Confessions... It's Cam on a whole different level. And probably his best IMO.
That song really stood out to me. I wonder how much of the song is true? He talks about inces_.
@williamwalsh1533 If any of it is true, that would make it even more legendary lol
Bro, if you ever feel like switching it up a lil and hear a female spit fire. Check out Lil Kim Lighters Up. 🔥🔥🔥
Side note: Lauryn Hill is the greatest female rapper of her generation.
You gotta do the dirty version
React to Love Me by 112 Featuring Mase
Doesnt really matter about the cussin with me its about the concept of his story
What pain check out DMX ft Faith I Miss you
Check out: Life is What you Make it - Nas feat DMX .
Theyre not going to be cussin on video version....lol its for marketing purposes
Bro do kill you - Eminem from 2000
Dex on this song you didn't have to do the video
X bodied this. RIP the DOG
Kool G Rap “Talk Like Sex”
Thank me later.
One of X’s few good joints.
The thing is this track don’t really need the few cus words it has the fact you think it does grow up man
Matter of fact learn your X damn ain’t you old enough to know earl by know
Videos from 1998 didn't have cuss words in the them.
