I wish we treated DMX with the same “legend reverence” that we do Eminem. Because X > Em...

I had listened to that right after I posted
hadn't listened to it in years, it is good, but I thought back when it came out that it could have been better, especially with a lot of good producers that were on there.Never really thought about comparing the two, but I will say Em's latter albums are FAR worse than DMX's latter albums.

Who don't treat X as a legend? People that know hip hop love X. He's in peoples top 5-10, just like Em.

Cats just being saying anything. Plus, X is also a better actor than Em

That’s not what I’m alluding too.
Eminem hasn’t been good since like 03...and he’s only now getting called out for it for a multiple of reasons. The man won a damn Grammy in 2014
.When I say “we” I mean the larger culture and hip culture itself. Of course DMX is well respected....he’s just not as accepted by all the way Eminem is....even though both of their primes ran and ended around the same times.

The man won a Grammy because he’s white. And released an album. Period. We know them white folks gone crown him.
And “we” the “current hip-hop fan” are allowing garbage to go on, unrelenting. Why be mad now? Y’all allowed it. Mainstream hip hop is straight s****y baby wipes right now, Eminem just contributing to the circus. “Y’all” allowing this...

You can't put stock in what the Grammys think. We know that by now. Since Em came back in 2010 the only people that's really liked his albums are the white fans that only like Em. People that really know ain't been feeling his music since the 8 mile soundtrack.That’s not what I’m alluding too.

Your comprehension real weird man
***** gotta spell everything out. Duh....that’s why I made the post that I wish “we” treated X with the same legend reverence as Eminem. I’m not speaking to you or me when I say “we”. It’s a collective thing which should be obvious as hell what I was saying. Eminem got passes for not being up to par for far too long. As well as commercial success for an extended period, while people pretended like he was still nice for a long period due to his persona.
Even respected lyricist and people in his camp pretended like he was dope when he wasn’t making good music because they didn’t wanna bite the hand. Again, it’s a myriad of reasoning.

So you wish the Grammys and white folks treated Em and X the same? That ain't gon happen.
I mean Kanye and Wayne been making trash for at least 7 years now and they still got fans that say "Kanye is God" "Wayne is back" and yes men all around them. It's a few of these dudes that people been in denial about.

I think X has a lot of non rap stuff that has unfortunately overshadowed his music legacy.
I don’t think bruh has gone longer than 2-3 years his entire career without them plastering him in the news for getting arrested or something jail/court related. He’s had stretches where it something literally every year or multiple times in 1 year. Then the noted financial problems, drug rumors etc. **** kinda sad.
He supposed to be getting a reality TV show soon.

I don't think X gets the respect he deserves.
I think his antics and arrest overshadowed everything almost like a lot of his fans became ashamed of him.

X became a punch line because of the drugs and wild behavior. Its fun to people to joke and laugh at him.
X is in my top 5 and will always be, I don't play with that ****.

I hear this and just can’t help but to shake my head yet again.
Tax really had a niche carved out and could’ve prospered for quite some time.
Instead he’s in fed custody, Troy Ave is prancing around on IG, and his mans is gone. Crazy how much life can change in one night.
And to the host’s intro, there are people who are able to take an objective look at the situation as it’s been presented thus far and acknowledge that stupid decisions were made on a few people’s parts. Save that “let he who is without sin cast the first stone” spiel. Tax, Troy, Banga... all of them displayed poor decision making that night with little regard for their own lives or the lives of others.

DJ Clark Kent say there is a producer union that make sure the producer is paid. I guess they don’t want to pay whatever that union fee is though
