I like how DMX never ran with "the next Tupac" thing. It showed respect and also the confidence he had in his own style. Especially because tons of rappers are dying for that comparison.
DMX def paved his own way and had his own style , nobody else was incorporating dogs etc into there music he was original as fuck and transparent that's why ppl gravitated to him so much . The hood can relate to having a pit , the hood can relate to loving God but the devil pulling on your sleeve ( shit everyone can relate to that , the hood can relate to grimy shit ,robbing drug use etc . That's why ppl loved Pac to , both of them were artist that you could relate to made music that touches your heart and mind hence the comparisons back then that's where it's stops though . There will never be another 2pac or DMX becauze of how special they were and the type.of.music they made in there way .
Dmx is a cut from pac...its obvious dont be in denial...thug life,movie,bald head,baggy pants,tattoo,problem with the law,outspoken,sing songs that hits your soul,died pretty much broke because of bad management...

Yea my g DMX definitely had that "Pac factor" I'm not saying that's what he was going for, but keep in mind DMX was rapping since the late 80's I believe. It took up until Packs death for him to be known and accepted. His label, by his choice or not, marketed him as the next Pac with the way he would wear the rags on his head.
@@1jonbarnes1 Pac also was living his own story shooting 2 off duty cops and being arrested multiple times for gun and assault cases so pac wasn't exactly just sitting around going to performing arts schools he lived threw the struggle in New York, Baltimore and in the ghettos of California. Both X and pac lived through the struggle remember pac grew up with the Panthers.
One Kills What One Does Not Respect two different rappers!as far as record sales being alive, X sold more! like every artist, they sell more records dead than alive! But X did his sales alive!!
WWETV - WorldWide Entertainment TV Nobody said tupac didn't sell records!! I'm saying if you compare record sales while 2 pac was "Alive" against DMX record sales while DMX is "Alive", DMX sold more records!!
Abyss 11 of course he sold more around that time because Rap had big ass void after Tupac & BIG pass away,DMX gave us that Gritty Marketable feeling again
Jim Jones during that time cash money crips were too busy biting No Limit Records to compete with ruff ryders.... Jada, Styles and X would MURDER any cash money rapper past or present....
Pac ain't X and X ain't Pac. Only similarities are the bald head, the aggression and they both rapped about real shit. That's just like people compared Pun to Biggie because they were both big and rapped.
pun is not comparable to big, dmx is comparable to pac, back in the day nobody rapped like that outside of pac especially not in NY, listen to dmx way back his style was grimmey dark NY shit, he ended up taking pac's style there is no doubt about that, same way ja rule took it, and no limit in 97-98 there is no question, there is nothing wrong with that as long as you write out of the heart, pac got his inspirations too from 80s rappers, its a cicle
The Dark Man is and will always be in my top 5... DMX is one of the few rap artists that prospered without having braggadocious music.Jay-Z and most artists wouldn't have a rap career if they didn't brag thats why X is a legend!!!
Big Nuts ok tell me 1 time in that song that he is bragging about cars,clothes, or jewelry he got like other raps even til this day are doing...dont worry I'll wait...
X is definitely in a class of his own 1 of the realis,niggas evea in da game I slept on X 4 a long time at that time I was on my bootcamp wutang shit, but when I finally got at X I think it was (flesh of my fesh) i was a fan evea,since 2 this day i ain't came across no other mc that poured that much energy like X the nigga kilt the game
Dmx barks like a dog hard core street music styles totally different from pac i se no similarities other than the bald head and to me dmx is way better and am 42
DMX hates being compare to 2Pac. He once said he's not the next 2Pac, he's the first X. I think people were drawing comparisons to 2Pac and DMX because both artist were bald, aggressive and full of tattoos.
My only comparison of the 2 was that they were both on another level that other rappers weren't on and had some deep meanings in their lyrics. At the top of their games, neither 2pac or 2pac could be messed with. Nobody spit with the raw emotion that they did.
Comparing 2 pac to DMX is like comparing Malcolm X to Huey Newton both had the passion, both had the fight, both is what we needed, both are goats, but they r not the same.
DMX one of my favorite artists. You can't compare him to pac. They both made people for those who were broken and needed inspiration and hope. But pac was more political than Dmx which is why he's on another level. DMX I hate to say it but y'all know it his decisions is what toke where he is today. Imagine what it would of been like if he would of conquered his demons and stayed drug free still love X though
Retrospectively, you are correct. But back during that time, he was compared to Pac heavy. I lived in Cali and a lot of Cali people were vibing to X because they felt he was similar to Pac. It was a compliment that really helped his popularity.
Imagine if Pac didn't hang around "GENOCIDAL LA Gangmembers" would he be hiding out in Cuba? Pac, DMX, Eminem, & Scarface came from very rough upbringings but Hip Hop was a way for them to deal with their pain & an out for all 4 of them. Hip Hop fans worldwide should be very grateful for what all 4 brought & stop with the "compare & contrast" all 4 is different individual styles but all 4 brought the "REAL"
I've listened to about a million songs and I still listen to new music everyday and I not ever heard a more inspirational person then DMX he's a living legend and so is the whole Ruff Rider crew I can always count on DMX to help me when I'm slipping and fallen and I can't get up or when I miss my grandma. Keep balling
Ja Rule was the closets thing to 2Pac. All of DMX's records were dark music like Canibus. He was a one dimensional rapper. Ja Rules first album was more of a DMX record & Irv Gotti admited that
Tupac actually did met DMX around the time he died. Suge Knight wanted to sign DMX to Death Row. Tupac and DMX almost collabed on a song with each other. Death Row and Ruff Ryders almost crossed over with each other. That was at the time when Dr. Dre was still with Death Row.
DMX and 2pac were two sides of the same coin. Both bald skinny dudes with passion and aggression. But they were so different at the same time. I think the reason it’s so easy to compare them is because they were both so raw and real in their own ways. And you FELT both their lyrics.
X raised me man. That’s all I’m going to say. He was the first rapper I ever messed with. The whole Ruff Ryders. LOX, Drag-on, Yung Wun, Eve. Also Jay Z. Can’t lie, Hov was witty with the words.
I'm confused about who and what dmx is for him to be compared to Pac. Musically, as a person... maybe cause they both acted and rapped? Passion? That's a lot of dudes. That don't make him Pac tho
All due respect, I don't know one "rapper", that came through the gate, scoring 2 platinum albums, their debut year; following up with 3 more consecutive platinum projects, scoring 5 in a row platinum level successes; and was in Jail, when the first one was released because he lived the life, he shared in his lyrics. Hands down, I have to give it up. That in and of itself, puts him in a class by himself, in my book. Thanks for the post.
Dmx was grimey but his music was bright.. theres a light there even when talkin about aggressive crap it wasnt dark ....Tupac was not as grimey but there was a subtle darkness in his music there was a heavy undertone
DMX is a street nigga 2pac wuz a RBG revolutionary but gangsta dude PAC wasn't a fake thug he wasnt a gangbanger he was a soldier a Gangster for his ppl X wuz a street thug a street poet and unfortunately a lost soul
The reason ppl compared him to Pac alot was because of transparent they were in there music and how both talk about the pain and happiness light /dark in there music . Not that they sounded the same or nothing but they both talked about real shit and can resonate with your heart .
saying all of that you can understand why they call 2pac the greatest you don't hear people comparing the selfs to Dr Dre , ti , 50 cent , Eminem, Jay z, ll cool j , and many more even Lil Wayne one of the so called biggest living rapper to day compared himself to 2pac
DMX/Pac. Kobe/M.J Prince/ Michael Jackson Westley Pipe's/Lex Steele We always gotta compare shit, why cant we just appreciate greatness? The Cool shit is we can only compare ourselves to ourselves. Comparing Chuck Berry to Elvis Or Elton John to James Brown just doesnt work.
dmx, can't be compared to tupac, ... pac way ahead of x talent wise. dmx tho' he is that dude you just fk with if you real. dmx, was meant to just come in shake you up and go back to doing him. but if dmx was a industry guy, he would have a catalog by now that could put him above the hill over a lot n real close to bumping pac... but dmx never was meant to be industry
I remember drawin the Ruff Ryders logo constantly in school on all my books..even bought a fake chain from Oxford Street back inna day! RIP X. Thank you for the memories
X was definitely a huge fan of pac, I never knew why he didn't acknowledge that b/c they are similar,especially their backgrounds, pac mom loved him but also neglected him 😢, X mom fully hated him & it was heartbreaking, pac went to the streets to hang out & made friends with any & everybody & X was the same but X was already on the streets right away, his mom was a monster
DMX and Ja rule (and many others not worth mentioning) were kind of like PAc clones in 98 . It was like the death of super man where u had 4 super man clones try to fill his role after he died.
Respect his contributions to NYC hip hop history of course, but what do you guys think of this comparison? Tokha (from Tokka & Rahzar of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 fame LOL).
Jay’s Vol.1 number did numbers but X numbers saved Def Jam. Ja Rule came out after X first 2 albums were doing numbers. Only rapper doing those crazy numbers outside of X was Eminem. But then shortly after everyone and I mean EVERYONE started doing numbers. A lot of rappers were eating and when 50 hit the scene BOOOOM! Diamond out the gate
It's a good thing that he kept X because anybody that worked with Diddy didn't treat his artists right, almost like he was jealous of them once they achieved fame.
DMX Respected Pac but He let it known that he was not Pac and Pac was not him...The oringinal diss track on " Get at me dog " that K Solo diss was originally at Pac but changed it to K Solo because of Pac's death but DMX went after Pac because of the " HIT 'EM UP VERSE "...
X Was More Raw Than Pac If You Ask Me But Pac Was Poetic Than X If You Ask Me X Was More Spiritually Than Pac And Pac Was More Revolutionary Than X💯 But After Pac X Was The Next Thing 💯 After X I Believe Its Em Or Soulja Slim 💯
He failed the part about X not helping write it. X will tell anyone that if they don't write their own music then they shouldn't be saying anything. I'm sure that DMX was not about to rap a verse that somebody else wrote.
Lets pray for dmx..he os in hospital...god will see him tru god is great and dmx believes and gas faith he just needs to over come those drugs...with god all things are possible ..no judgement on his life .god made him and he is a child of the king... x man
How can you compare dmx to 2pac dmx was in detention compared to pac let's be serious dmx came out big after pac died dmx is great but can't compare him to pac
IF YA WOULD ACTUALLY LISTEN TO THE MUSIC AND CREATIVE PROCESS AND DIRECTION X AND JA DO COMPARE TO PAC...YA JUST BE DO QUICK TO DISS NIGGAZ, THE COMPARISON IS A DOPE THING, THEY BOTH HAD DEPTH TO THEIR MESSAGE LIKE PAC DID. IF THEY HAD DIED 5 YRS INTO THEIR CAREER WE'D LOOK AT THEM THE SAME
Big Nuts I disagree if you dig into all the music you can see a clear difference, it's just me tho I often listen to all three and they all bring different spices while being similar and I'm not talking singles I mean their real catalog
agaim vlad drops the ball with not knowing the history that u can't get in Google and Wikipedia. dmx disses tupac then changed the name to k solo when it was released as a single. if he would have known that he could have followed up and asked about the tupac diss.
Who tf compares DMX to Pac? DMX copied Pac's style but that's pretty much it. Their music is completely different and Pac has wayy more influence than X.
Boy dmx aint copy 2pac his hair dont grow so he bald head and been bald head even when pac was alive dmx was bald x is one of the best to do it and i love pac also pac was a painter who u felt dmx paints and u walk wit him in the picture 2pac song for song dont i thing he can touch x but he got classic u never forget no rapper can touch 2pac classic

Adam Phillip I was thinking an old turtle without a shell. But your description is pretty accurate! Lol!
Looks like golem from lord of the rings
All these comments are cracking me up hahahaha
Yung_Dev! Yeah this generation is soft and fruity
Respect his contributions to NYC hip hop history of course, but what do you guys think of this comparison? Tokha (from Tokka & Rahzar of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 fame LOL).
Jay’s Vol.1 number did numbers but X numbers saved Def Jam. Ja Rule came out after X first 2 albums were doing numbers. Only rapper doing those crazy numbers outside of X was Eminem. But then shortly after everyone and I mean EVERYONE started doing numbers. A lot of rappers were eating and when 50 hit the scene BOOOOM! Diamond out the gate
I love X but he compared himself to 2 pac as well just like 50 cent and ja , and many more and they still doing it to this day
Kany Kabeya stop lying... X hated being compared to pac! " I'm not the next pac... I'm the first X" don't let vlad gass you up...
VLAD HAS INTERESTING CONTENT TODAY...ABOUT TIME
I hate all that " oh he's gunna be the next"....No motherfucka i'm the first And last me.....
DMX was the one and only DMX, Tupac was Tupac
I had to set the studio up at night! DARK MAN X
DMX saved Def Jam.
It's a good thing that he kept X because anybody that worked with Diddy didn't treat his artists right, almost like he was jealous of them once they achieved fame.
DMX Respected Pac but He let it known that he was not Pac and Pac was not him...The oringinal diss track on " Get at me dog " that K Solo diss was originally at Pac but changed it to K Solo because of Pac's death but DMX went after Pac because of the " HIT 'EM UP VERSE "...
comparing DMX to PAC is just like comparing BIG BABY JESUS to JESUS
Wait, why was DMX on Def Jam and not Ruff Ryders/Interscope?
X Was More Raw Than Pac If You Ask Me But Pac Was Poetic Than X If You Ask Me X Was More Spiritually Than Pac And Pac Was More Revolutionary Than X💯 But After Pac X Was The Next Thing 💯 After X I Believe Its Em Or Soulja Slim 💯
That's a stupid ass comparison 2Pac wasn't nowhere in DMX league.Thats so disrespectful to DMX
Low-key though X did copied some of Pac's style...with the back of the album covers
They black ball the real ones in rap
Vlad loves bringing up Tupac!
Here after the BET document
K-Solo ended up doing a lie detector test on tv and passed about who wrote "Spell Bound" . Just saying😳
Stop lying he fail the video is on youtube dick ryder
I use to fuck with "Letter Man" he didnt shine as much as I thought he was going too.
And Saigon
He failed the part about X not helping write it. X will tell anyone that if they don't write their own music then they shouldn't be saying anything. I'm sure that DMX was not about to rap a verse that somebody else wrote.
You crazy? DMX was DMX. He wasn't no Pac. DMX was all gutter NY.
Next we gon compare Ja Rule to Big Pun but ok
Dmx top 5 rappers from the 90s 2000
is that tracy mcgrady at the age 60 ? lol
Grand Champ nuff said 🙏💨💯
Lets pray for dmx..he os in hospital...god will see him tru god is great and dmx believes and gas faith he just needs to over come those drugs...with god all things are possible ..no judgement on his life .god made him and he is a child of the king... x man
DMX is NOT Tupac, and Tupac is NOT DMX, completely two different artists and styles...SBN
Dmx saved def jam he doesn't want say tho humble guy
Lol they stole the name Rough Riders from Teddy Roosevelt.
It’s uhh Ruff Ryders...
2Pac + crack = DMX
R. I. P. pac
Spat my coffee out
why u dissing the legend..smfh
Exactly
azrael80304 ok this is funny as Fuck but disrespectful at the same time LMFAO they both legends IDGAF what anyone says
Ahhahahaha
DMX was already rapping and being himself before Tupac died tho so of course he wasn't trying to be Pac
How can you compare dmx to 2pac dmx was in detention compared to pac let's be serious dmx came out big after pac died dmx is great but can't compare him to pac
IF YA WOULD ACTUALLY LISTEN TO THE MUSIC AND CREATIVE PROCESS AND DIRECTION X AND JA DO COMPARE TO PAC...YA JUST BE DO QUICK TO DISS NIGGAZ, THE COMPARISON IS A DOPE THING, THEY BOTH HAD DEPTH TO THEIR MESSAGE LIKE PAC DID. IF THEY HAD DIED 5 YRS INTO THEIR CAREER WE'D LOOK AT THEM THE SAME
Big Nuts I disagree if you dig into all the music you can see a clear difference, it's just me tho I often listen to all three and they all bring different spices while being similar and I'm not talking singles I mean their real catalog
he right x saved def jam
8:04 "Jef Dam"
SHOUT OUT TO THE LADIES THAT HAD A BABY JUST SO YO MAN TAX CHECK LOOK RESPECTABLE
🤣🤣🤣🤣
there's definitely sum similarities!
Dmx k solo beef is like 50 and ja it ll never die lol
agaim vlad drops the ball with not knowing the history that u can't get in Google and Wikipedia. dmx disses tupac then changed the name to k solo when it was released as a single. if he would have known that he could have followed up and asked about the tupac diss.
DMX is just way better
💯💯💯💯✔✔
Looks like that cartoon character Franklin the Turtle
Who tf compares DMX to Pac? DMX copied Pac's style but that's pretty much it. Their music is completely different and Pac has wayy more influence than X.
MakaveliThaSavage Tuwack Shitkaur got no type of influence
MakaveliThaSavage CLOSEST RAPPER TO 'PAC PERIOD. DATPIFF.COM/MARCUS-ROCK-I-DONT-NEED-THIS-I-LOVE-THIS-VOL-1-MIXTAPE.855538.HTML
MakaveliThaSavage 100% agree
MakaveliThaSavage x copied what style? What did he copy from PAC?
Boy dmx aint copy 2pac his hair dont grow so he bald head and been bald head even when pac was alive dmx was bald x is one of the best to do it and i love pac also pac was a painter who u felt dmx paints and u walk wit him in the picture 2pac song for song dont i thing he can touch x but he got classic u never forget no rapper can touch 2pac classic
dee likes to say "probably" alot lol
My nr 1 is Pac, period!!
But the respect i have for DMX went to the roof with ;
They asked me ; are You the next Tupac ?
; naah, I'm the first X .
I heard Vlad was going to interview the guy who cremated PAC; Anyone know if that's true?
Woooaahhhh what???!!! Ain't no way in hell Vlad got ahold of that dude
DMX was way better than Tupac
No way
