I'm glad the Grand Champion is back! I'm sorry he's a crackhead though.

The Ruff Ryders' legacy is quickly coming to a close. The collective performance of DMX, Jadakiss, Kartoon and Flashy on "Get Wild," [watch it now] the most cliche hook and title in 3 years, is merely confirmation of the beginning of the end. I think pretending to be an ATF officer was the beginning of the end for DMX though.
The triumphal entry of the big dog was merely puppy chow. After a wait longer than DMX should ever cause, he greets his loyal listeners with a lackluster verse at best. Donning a leather vest to hide the weight loss and sunglasses to hide the drugged eyes, DMX stumbles on and off of this one like THAT uncle. You know... the one your parents never leave you alone with.
Jay-to-the-MWAH is the only redeeming characeteristic of this debacle. Unfortunately, as Jadakiss knows better than any of us, a solid verse does not a quality song make. I must say though, for once I like the orange and blue combination. It's usually hideous.
Jada's last line touches on a very important point "All I ever had to do in the firt place was gat nasty." Did you hear that children? Jada fucked up his career trying to be a flashy media pawn chasing dollars alone and forsaking artistry. He's found more success than ever being himself a lot more. That's commendable.
Who is this cockroach in the laker jersey? Damn, RR is really hurting. Have they resorted to recording project vermin? Damn... I got a rat in my apartment that can beatbox. Dead ass serious. Sign him.
I didn't think they even had a label anymore. I guess it's still X, The Lox and... no one.
The nigga on the hook is wearing mascara. Just thought you all would like to know.
I love how they announce in block letters what city each scene takes place in... like it matters. If I ever shot a video I would do it in the playground and have it say "Cabo San Lucas" or some shit. I guess telling people you're somewhere "cool" helps the ratings.
I feel bad for RR. They used to be the shit. They lost Eve... the Chinese kid retired... X is stealing cars high on crack... The Lox call themselves D-Block. Swizz holds the soap for Cassidy...
Are Kartoon and Flashy supposed to save RR from their imminent demise. Will Drag-On have to put the label on his back again? (snicker snicker) Who knows?
Seriously... for the star power and reputation of Ruff Ryders, this is a shitty, borderline worthless video paired to and equally shitty and worthless song. See for yourself! Enjoy!

Whats all this talk about DMX and crack? Don't tell me DMX turned into pookie? WHY!!!! Why do rappers do stupid shit once they get rich, like C-Murder, Mystikal, Pimp C, now DMX? I did not know Jin retired? I love this site, you can come here and learn new shit about hip hop that you might not have know before. Hey i got a question, what happened to Red and Meth?
I think rocks were always DMX' flavor of the month.
Red and Meth are probably somewhere scoring some excellent chronic.
RR HAS FALLEN OF. DMX FIRST ALBUM WAS FIRE BUT HE DECLINED EVER SINCE. THE LOX ARE THE HOTTEST THING ON THAT LABEL. I THINK J HOV IS TRYING TO SCOOP JADA TO RIDE FOR ROC-A-FELLA AND THAT WOULD BE A GOOD LOOK. AS FOR RED N METH... THE BLACKOUT ALBUM WAS HOT 2 DEF. THEY HAD A GOOD THING GOING BUT WANTED TO FUCK WIT TV AND MOVIES. HORRIBLE!
Its funny to read these comments and I really have to wonder at this stage of the game in Hip Hop what is it that drives the fans. Instead of listening to the music we like to comment on the persons lifestyle. I think that the Mike Jones and the other wacknees has altered our vision of what is real Hip Hop and what radio is pimpin. Mixtape are bringing underground fame to these so called artist who really dont have a clue on how to make a good record. And the fans are even worse by putting these so called artist on a lyrical pedistal when they are only average. So if you are going to critique a song or a video, dont compare to whats out now because there is realy nothing out there except trash and we need to throw the trash out.
Know body really knows it X is on crack! Unless the person tellin is suckin' his dick while hitting the pipe!
The point is life is life... shit happens some times, and we all hit the bottom once in a while! I like X and even think he has the chops to act. The fact that his career is in the "red" has nothing to do with him as a great artist... especially when you have more then one person involved with your project.
I bet as soon as X sort out a few things and get a better team to work with... all the people spittin' shit on him will be back on his DICK!
As far as Red and Meth... they doing there thang, so what it they diversify... so what if they do movie and TV! It's all about profit... one looks at the liabilty and assets in life. I don't blame them fo doing more... it's about getting paid. That's why black folk are the poorest race of people on earth! Not doing what's gonna put you in the finacial pink leaves you in the BLACK poor house!
Damn I can't understand why some black folks are so fuckin' stupid.
Hey Cutty Ranks here's some knowledge in this country alone there is more poor white then there is black. and there neverminding the other poor countries. Head up Graduate
yo cutty ranks why dont you learn how to spell b4 u call black people stupid. you dumbass thinking you smart
Cutty... it ain't about jumpin back on some dick.
It's about doing the right thing and standing up when your favorite artists puts out some bullshit. I'm and X fan... he has been doing dumb shit... making weak records (like this one) smoking rocks and stealing cars... when he gets his shit together, I'll fuck with another DMX record. Simple as that. You are an idiot for following any recording artist blindly, ESPECIALLY when you touched on it yourself... They don't care about what we think, as long as they are making money. If shitty records and videos make money, they will be done. As long as we accept shitty records and videos, we will get them.
And the shit you said about black people was fucking stupid. Stop watching all that Fox news, my nigga.
P.S.: I'M the stop-stop-stop... s-s-s-s-s-s-stop-stoppa!
and EVERY DJ haffi talk to me proppa!
Cutty Ranks is right. The negro race is the least healthy, least educated and most likely to fail in life in the world. Maybe on average there might be more poor white people in the U.S but you don't see whites living like animals in poverty in the ghetto's like you see whites in lower class suburbs. There has never been and never will be a more sophisticated rapper in the world than Marshall Mathers. Proof that the white race is superiour lyrically and mentally.
Kay Kay slay u must be white because no black person would downgrade their race like that.and white people live in the ghetto to and alot live in trailer parks.and just beacuse they live in the burbs doesnt mean that they are wealthy.ever heard of keepin up with the joneses??anyway dmx is goin through some shit right now.at one point RR was gonna blow like shady aftermath is or how rocafella used to be.I think once people get to a certain point of success they just dont care.dmx said it himself hes pissed at the industry for fuckin the game up.RR is not what it once was but like dude said THE LOX are till doin it.all great things must come to an end and i think we seein the death of RR.X is gonna be str8 thoug.hes a dog.....
Shut the fuck up white man and go out into the sun, still feel superior . Let me give your girl some black cock she'll be calling you inferior. Blacks rule stop hiding . I dont rate and never will rate slim gayly . No white rapper can be the best no matter what they say or do. Your stupid ass think sales makes him the best , those are 4 year olds being swindled . Notice white slim shady needed black DR.DRE
ITS OUR GAME GET THE MOTHER FUCK OUT!
I WILL KILL YOU!!
Kay Kay Slay just change your name to Klu Klux Klan maybe whites would be superior if they didn't steal every gotdamn invetion that every race thinks .And white people don't leave in ghettos Bitch they invented them so they could live in them. Have you ever heard of a trailer parks Dumbass. A white man's ghetto on wheeels Bitch
Yo Kay, I know your some white dude living in N. Dakota talking shit like you have ever been out of your gay ass state, no dis respect to any down ass hip hop head out that way. Kay you said alot of dumb shit, What you think whites don't have it bad? Just because there are not alot of whites in the PJ's, don't mean they are not living ruff, you ever been to a WHITE ghetto? Man it is BAD, everyone is high on Meth, alot of fools wanting to BE black so damn bad they would beat your ass for talking about blacks like that. This site is about talkin VIDEOS, not race bashing!! X used to be the man, and if he is hitting the pipe, then HEY thats his biz, I can care less about what he does with his life, All i care about is that he puts out GOOD music! RED and MEth did there thing with there, show, now I see even more whites trying to fake the funk like there from Brick City, or Shaolin! They made there money, and that is cool, but I think they need to do a join record for all of there Fans, i have been down with Red since the EARLY 90's, i loved that track he did with EPMD!
I see some other people out here really have sense, thanks ya'll !!!!
Free C-Murder!
DMX is the Shawn Kemp of rap... he is one of the most talented ever, and has wasted all that talent over some drugs. Keep blaming it on the system, but you are the one coming up with one boring ass song after another (even with a couple years off to reload). Get in rehab, get your mind right, and put out something new, please.
shawn kemp of rap...
reference of the week!
salute this man!
Do you know DMX has outsold Jay Z in album sales to date. He is successful, you dick head. Shut tha fuck up and go clock in at your bullshit job, you cocksucker !
Do your fuckin homework shawn kemp is outta the NBA . DMX is in the game still going platinum on every album, with his own film company, and is the face of DOUBLE R . Go and bite a curved dick!!He even said in xxl that Jay Z aint his boss . Jay Z is a pussy . Ya'll suck who is on top till they fall, then hop off their dick and find another to suck , thats why they call you fanatics . Here today gone tomorrow!!
When you see DMX tell him he's a crackhead and watch him smash your pussy face in , fuckin cowards.
We don't have to tell DMX he's a crackhead...
Stealing cars at the airport and pretending to be an ATF agent while doing it (high on crack) tells him he's a crackhead.
Fuck what people will and won't say to his face... You talk a lot of shit about artists yourself, no one tells you to go do that. Your opinion is your opinion. Drop yours... respect others'... it's really that simple.
shawn kemp of rap, how long did it take u to cum up with that one. crack head got more money than u. crack head goes to places u'll neva see. if you dont like shut the fuck up an move on. stop hating on people that u want to be. so get back to work b4 u get fired..
dmx 4 life, Grrrrrrrrrrr
eliementrie, read Ron's post above yours. All I'm asking for is a little more creativity. How about some story telling along the lines of "How's it Going Down?" DMX had the power to move people and motivate them, but he didn't do anything with it. Instead, he got caught up in his own fame and is becoming a joke compared to his old self. Put the Whitney down and pick your pen up.
Btw- CORE CRIT, I do my homework and Shawn Kemp is training to attempt a comeback into the NBA as we speak.
I think X should get Jada and the Lox on a Track going after 50 for thinking he runs hip hop! X has out sold alot of other rappers and he has what it takes to make a FIRE record. X needs to come with a Diss record because right now that seems to be what everyone wants to hear or see.
i used to think dmx was one of the most underrated artist in the rap game but hes starting to fade away and is becoming more and more unimportant to the game as he goes on.his earlier cds are great and i actually consider flesh of my flesh a classic.i think he should have taken his early advice and left the game alone.it kinda reminds me of jordan.he coulda went out wit a bang but fucked up the way we remember him.if he makes some more of that hardcore shit or those dark tales like the one where he has a conversation with the devil i'll fuck wit him.but X please no half assin homie ur to good for that shit.
y u sayin hes hidin his eyes cos of da coke wiv da shades, wen 4 most of da vid dey rnt even on?
n u is evry1 sayin dat da double r are ova wen clearly dis vid shows dem all bak 2geva agen n i no 4 a fact dmx is da best rappa n is about 2 take ova the industry agen. 'What You Niggas Talkin Bout, Think You Playin Wiv, Double R, G-Unit, Same Ol' Shit'
all i gotz 2 say iz ruff ryderz aint shit back in da dayz dey waz but now dey all look broke jus stay yallz ass on dem bikez and bust yall damm ass
Word up 50clint, these pussy niggaz look like they have found other artist to suck. DMX is one of the realest mf's this hhiphop shit has ever seen. When you see him tell him he's a crackhead . Well if he's a crackhead he got more loot than you . So what does that make your dumb bitch ass
not stealing cars or on crack.
whatever happened to being happy with yourself?
according to what y'all are saying, we should respect a crackhead car theif more than we should respect ourselves or local heroes, solely on the basis of money.
how ridiculous is that?
Don't count RR out yet I have personal knowledge of a Female Rapper from Cali that they just signed up, and trust me shorti is fire, I battled her on this cruise in Tampa and she got that fire for real, plus a look that can kill. And if EVE could carry RR on her back this chick can definitely do the same look out for that though for real!
Some of U'll dont even know what u'll talking about. DMX had this drug problem since he was in his teens. Read his damn book..get an idea of what road he walked. And on the real, I dont think there is NO rapper today that can walk in his shoes. U'll think X just popped up with this problem. He had this shit since he was in his teens...READ HIS BOOK DAMIT..LEARn something
according to X though.." the fans spoil you...they got u thinking u could put out some sought of bubble gum bullshit and still sell..."-somethng like that--on the DMX Angel video
X been a wild bowy....shit is new to u'll...
THE FANS SPOIL YOU 4rral
I wish folks would stick to the context...
It's not my place to get into a battle of wits. That's not why I'm here. I'm an avid Ruff Ryders fan, and this post ALMOST upset me. And the reason WHY I'm not upset is because of the current state of hip-hop. We've been programmed to accept bullshit artists, all for the sake of the club, and leave the true lyricists in the dust.
Compare for just ONE second. Do you think Mike Jones, for example, is a better lyricist than Kartoon? His flow might not match some of the all time greats, but he's not a sub par lyricist. DMX might not have the same spark that he did back in 1999, but I believe he can bring it back. The promotion is all wrong. It sucks that Mike Jones can go damn near platinum, but Jin can only go gold.
I'm sticking with the Ruff Ryders. No matter what anybody else has to say. Even if not the Ruff Ryders, I'm sticking to the lyricists. They're slept on. Simple as that. The video is not bad in my opinion, nor is their new roster. But I guess I'm just typing to the air if people keep hyping Mike Jones up.
No disrespect to the south, either; or Mike Jones for that matter. I'll give him credit, his hype is madness, especially for piggybacking off of Slim Thug's release. But I'm all about pure lyricism. Where's Mos Def, for that matter? Where's Canibus? What about Jean Grae? As long as the Ruff Ryders don't go bubble gum, everything with them is kosher.
Guess I'm still fonting to the air, huh?
yo pussies.. get a fukn life.. and stop da fukn gossip.. and ye fukk all u wite ass bitches... look at paul wall he is on blak mans dik... and eminem is on dr dres dik.. word im not even blak i stil hate COCKasians...and DMx is da illest... its Not like nuin of u suckers tried crak or weed or tried to rob sumtin.. hes a G n doesn give shit bout nutin cuz hes makin money n he got fame.. like fuk dis bullshit.. and fuk u haters

EXEPT U CAUGHT WIFF OF SOME RUMOR OF A PROBLEM THAT HE MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE. NOW U TURN UR BACK WHEN U PROBABLY BOUGHT ALL HIS ALBUMS. ANYTHING JADA HAS EVER SPIT IS NASTY. KARTOON IS HOTTER THAN WHOEVER'S DICK UR ON AND !!!!!!FLASHY!!!!!! IS THAT NEXT NIGGA, YOU MUST NOT GOT YOUR EAR TO THE STREET.

AND LIL'VATO U PROBABLY GOT A LITTLE PITO AND UR JUST MAD THAT MJ AINT HIT YOU OFF WITH SOME DICK.
You mad, doggy?
If I may quote Cam'ron...
"Ahaaaaaa... You maaaaaaad!"
Did you say "may or may not have?"
What part of "stole a car high on crack pretending to be an ATF agent" are you not understanding?
If I come to 125th... Do you promise to come get your ass beat over your favorite rapper?
I got a better idea. Meet me on the corner of AOL and Yahoo... I'll have my whole buddy list with me.
You need to be fighting to get off the street team and into school.
You probably ride by on your BMX when they pass your block on them Kawasakis... trynna do a wheelie in front of St. Nick projects.
Don't front... you put the quarter water bottle on your back wheel to get that sound, right? VRRRRRMMMMMMM VRRRRRRMMMMM
Put the dick down.
Nothing has changed? This shit is trash!
If you believe everything Jada has ever spit is hot, you've probably rinsed the inside of your mouth out with his sperm before. Jada would tell you to your face that some of his shit in the past was garbage.
Since when did Kay Slay's payola takin ass spinnin some shit like it's the new herpes mean it was good? All that means is they bought him some cheeseteaks.
You need to accept that SOME people don't think Ruff Ryders is the greatest shit ever to happen to ever. Your blood pressure will go down, you'll live longer, and you won't get your ass beat in front of the state office building. It's called opinions, my nigga. Enjoy your Ruff Ryders legacy... But don't go on a crusade for them.
Also, Don't go overboard and write a check your keyboard can't cash. (That's net gangsta talk)
Internet gangstas get NO respect.
P.S.: Bum ass Drag-On bit Cam'ron's whole shit in 99. Maybe that's why Cam'ron raps so shitty now.
FUCK YOU ruff ryder for life!!!! You probably mad because you didn't get ruff wild butt naked in the bed with that pretty boy nigga Marques Houston!!!! You wanted that camera to go down more just to see his dick!! That's why you probably call youself ruff ryder for life!!! YA... for men!!!! Leave my homie Ron alone LIL' FAGGOT!!!!
Ruff ryder for life.....If I HEAR SHIT FROM YOU AGAIN MOTHAFUCKA!! I'ma diss you more than 8 times just like I did to that pussy core crit!!!! You PUSSY ASS RUFF RYDER GROUPIE!!!!! Tell me when has that nigga Kartoon been on the radar. Espeically that fuckin song Get Wild!!!! Stick to MARQUES HOUSTON HOMIE!!!!
Let's see we've talked about racism, DMX bein high and doin some crazy ish, and if double R fell off. But we didn't really talk about this music video...let's get back on the real topic please.
Amen, brother. Amen.
ya... u think dmx buys his crack of dipset?
Let's get 2 things straight. Anybody who likes 50 second album is a bitchazz, a real dick sucker. And second of all, as somebody said it already you are comparing too much trash to good music.
Somebody fucking tell me what the fuck can inspire his bitch ass in candy shop? Huh? When you sit somewhere and pop in a get wild track it at least let you listen to somebody threatening some punks out there. I'm ashamed of you all today. Matter of fact fuck your mamas that thought y'all music. If they got y'all playing tennis, please dont post near my posts.
