That song is one of those classic story records and that fact that he wrote it in a hour and half is insane. True lyricist, RIP DMX!!! One of the GOATs of rap no question.
If you think about it, he’s known Damien his whole life so the words came pretty easy so it’s not surprising that he came up with something that great that quick
yooo, beautifully said brother. Been wanting to describe the eery feeling and goosebumps I get immediately when I hear the “uh, Def Jam” and you hit it on the nail. I feel like the song speaks to both parts of my soul, the dark and the light, when otherwise usually in life one part is dominant and they just switch control between each other. So because they’re both awake, I can be aware of the darkness and use the light to make it surrender control.
Yeah, he was channeling childhood and addiction pain. If u read up on his life story, and even if you’ve gone through similar struggles, you would understand how sometimes the pain wants to speak and it’s up to you to give it its channel.
Different part of the brain. Singing/Rapping use different parts of the brain, so you can rap/sing without a stutter no matter how bad you stutter when you speak. Another example is how an artist with a thick accent can sing/rap without you hearing the accent at all. It’s remarkable, really.
It’s amazing how drag can wrap flawlessly and you cannot hear his stutter. It’s amazing like when I found out he had a stutter I was like what no way one of the best.
this is the first time i saw drag-on stutter, hes talked about it and rapped about it but ive never seen it. people dont give him enough props for the fact he can spit fire without stuttering
Lol we ain't going sit here and act like X was not playing in the devils playground, there is full truth to what he meant (as far as making a deal with the devil) in the Damien songs. To many artists say similar things in they music. Of course u can't literally sell ur soul to the devil. But it's a metaphor, u live ur life in the way the devil wants, (which is not the way the true god wants) and u worship the devil and in return u get the things he gives u. For as long as he wants to keep giving...
"Drag-On Speaks Wit' A Stutta, But I Rhyme Well So Like A Dead Snitch, It's Hard To Tell..." I had a stutter growing up & I went through some dark times. Wouldn't go out with friends, talk to females & it held me back in life. When I found out Drag Stuttered, he became my 2nd favorite Ruff Ryder. Mine comes back every now & then but I just do my best to talk in a rhythm & remain calm.
When he talks about robbing out of hunger i honestly don't believe him I think they was hungry for some smoke not for actual food cus really anyone can feed themselves easily without robbing people let's be honest
U probably aint pay attention to dmx life story or u never lived the street life when forced to rob to eat Whos hungry for some smoke u tick as brick u probably a youn buck smelling a milk
@@beverlymahaley6234 In America everyone has enough to eat. The number of Americans that starve to death each year is about 100. Most of these are either neglected children or people with mental illnesses.
@@beverlymahaley6234 You can literally feed yourself with 5 dollars if you don't have 5 dollars then you can wash someone's windows for five dollars and then go eat. My point is just that no one in America is forced to rob in order to eat. There are 100 ways other than robbery to make five dollars and buy some food.. If you are too lazy then there is even food banks giving food away for free so don't come here acting like some people in New York are forced to rob people just to eat cmon get real..
NOT JUST IN NEW YORK,BUT EVERY CITY.NO BODY HIRES 8 YEAR OLDS TO DO ANYTHING,DMX WAS8 YEARS OLD WHEN HE WAS EXPOSED TO COCAINE,AND A VICTIM OF CHILDHOOD TRAUMA,HE ROBBED TO SURVIVE,EVERYBODY HAS MADE MISTAKES,YOU DO NOT KNOW ANYONES SITUATION IF YOU HAVE NOT WALKED IN THEIR SHOES.A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD HAVE NEVER EVEN TOLD THE WORLD OF THEIR CRIMINAL PAST,BUT THATS WHY HIS FANS LOVE HIM BECAUSE THERE WAS NOT A DAMN THING FAKE ABOUT DMX.HIS CHILDHOOD STORY IS SO TRAUMAUTIC,HE SAID HE WOULD NEVER MAKE A MOVIE ABOUT HIS LIFE.YES HE IS ONE OF THE WORLDS GREATEST BATTLE RAPPER,AND ACTOR,DMX LIVED AND REPRESENTED THE UNDERDOGS.RIP LEGEND❤❤🙏🙏
Lies! Damien was wrote by Marilyn Manson! You could look on the track listing. Why would this man make up that when Marilyn Manson is getting paid for it?
The Omen (Damien pt 2) was the one that had Marilyn Manson in it but hes not in the credits for the song writing in none of the songs. In “The Omen” Dame Grease, Swizz Beatz, and DMX are the writers.
"The snake the rat the cat the dog, how you gonna see em if you livin' in the FOG"
The snake the rat the cat the dog , how you gon’ see him if you living in the “FOG”
The snake the rat the cat the dog, how you gonna see him if your living in the fog
Ok
The snake the cat the dad the dog how you gonna see when you living in the fog
Damnit!!!

How hard is it to write a song about killing your childhood friends?
@@dragonknightofamiraka3636 You sounding like a hater right now. Come back to the comments when learn how to respect a legend.
If you think about it, he’s known Damien his whole life so the words came pretty easy so it’s not surprising that he came up with something that great that quick
Hour and a half = 13
Soon as Damien comes on it’s likes it provokes every dark feeling in you but it clears ur mind too see thru the bullshit fr

The fact that he wrote such a detailed descriptive song in less than a couple hours clearly shows he was channeling something to come up with it.
Maybe

MAN! Mind blowing right
"Do you like how everythings going? Do like what I gave you? You know if you was going down, I'd be the one to save you?"
R.I.P X music got me through so much turmoil.
Damian is a classic
I had the flesh of my flesh album when I was 10, as a kid always thought the damian voice was Mike tyson.
Rest in peace Mr Dmx
Lol see this is why they had parental advisory stickers on the CDs lol
I thought it was mos def at first
@@SebastianTapia-zr7nusame, it sounds a lot like Mos Def.
Salute to Drag-On 🔥🔥🔥💯
The mic is too far away from drag's face, can hardly hear him
Dawg DMX is a legend body of work I’d crazy. He was super creative! Rest his soul 🕊
If you get in the car with the homies and erryone got a balaclava on and Damien 1-3 is playing.
Demonic shit about to happen
Rip Dmx 🕊
Did not know drag had a stutter wow
Amazing how folks overcome this thing to become successful. Mad pops my dude

such a deep storytelling song . R.I.P. X
Its dark and hell is hot is one of the top albums ever top classic hands down
Damien blew me away back in 98 . Literally doing that Jekyll n Hyde character first way before all em and that doing it
I sold my soul to the devil-and the price was cheap' hey yo its cold on this level cuz its twice as deep'
Quote ..Dmx...Let me fly.
Damien reminded me of the Robert Johnson story. I loved that track!!
DMX DAMIEN 1 AND THE OMEN 2 AND DAMIEN 3 ICONIC LEGENDARY
DMX recorded Damien 4 I think … it was a tracklist for walk with me now
Damien 2 was the darkest imo
top 5 x songs🔥
Because it really happens its a real story. He was just journaling what happened a couple days before. Just couldnt tell u.
It’s amazing how drag can wrap flawlessly and you cannot hear his stutter. It’s amazing like when I found out he had a stutter I was like what no way one of the best.
Number 1 Dmx song
One of the best rap songs ever.
dmx's best song in my opinion
It's almost like another entity is telling him what to write... Like Bob Dylan
this is the first time i saw drag-on stutter, hes talked about it and rapped about it but ive never seen it. people dont give him enough props for the fact he can spit fire without stuttering
Literally x lived the shit fr
If you listen to DMX,you'll realize he was very spiritual. Even in his songs
Seems like that stutter came once the topic of soul selling came up lol
So we the only ones that realized… he ain’t stutter until after that upbringing
Manifestation.
He already knew what he was going to do.
“But who? Name’s D like you, but my friends call me Damien…”
He quotes let me fly in belly not damien
I didn’t know Drag-On had a stutter like that
Yeah worldd dmx joint was 🔥 song
Your editors have to edit this video to raise Drag-on's voice cuz you cant hear him in the background and Kev sounds VERY LOUD
Did they just filter/alter his voice for Damien?
I am glad to say my name is damien
the chair told more stories then they dis
Kev tried to tell y’all
Drag cleaned it up
either do it or give me your hand that’s what you said
He was talking to the devil in Tha song
dRAG ON
1:55 he did
I didn’t know Drag on stutters
🔥🔥🔥🔥👑
I thought that damien was mos def at first

...know better than what?
If Someone Tells You OFF the Wall Shit about themselves.......
I wonder if this is what Eminem got his ideal and inspiration about "stan" from?
Hell nah damien is the devil stan was a krazy fan
@@andredumbar5792 That does not mean that he didn't get the ideal from DMX and then put his own personal touch/twist on it!
@jcvideos2323 listen to "My Darling" by Eminem
@@jcvideos2323x definitely started a thing with the double character on the joints
They both got it from biggie
you really are bootleg
Never knew drag on a stutter
"Drag-On Speaks Wit' A Stutta,
But I Rhyme Well
So Like A Dead Snitch,
It's Hard To Tell..."
I had a stutter growing up & I went through some dark times. Wouldn't go out with friends, talk to females & it held me back in life. When I found out Drag Stuttered, he became my 2nd favorite Ruff Ryder. Mine comes back every now & then but I just do my best to talk in a rhythm & remain calm.
@@Lucky_Male_Bee niggas die for me - drag on ft dmx
He does and its wayyy better he couldnt help it back then
Bro what u mean u a grown adult u kno better? Apparently not
He knows what’s up but he’s not just gonna be straight up about it in front of someone like that
Damien part 4 was cancelled
When he talks about robbing out of hunger i honestly don't believe him I think they was hungry for some smoke not for actual food cus really anyone can feed themselves easily without robbing people let's be honest
U probably aint pay attention to dmx life story or u never lived the street life when forced to rob to eat

WHO ARE YOU,GET REAL ,EVERYBODY DO NOT HAVE FOOD TO EAT,PEOPLE ARE STARVING AND ARE HOMELESS.

What damian did manson write?
He wrote part 2/ omen and it was just the chorus basically the main part why he got so much credit on it
Wish I could thumb down your comment a thousand times
