<p>In 1998, DMX brings new energy to a laid-back hip-hop scene. While various MCs have been busy partying and dancing, DMX has been amping himself up for a powerful debut. IT'S DARK AND HELL IS HOT is the first full-length release from the rapper, despite an attempt to break through in 1993. It wasn't until legendary rap label Def Jam got a hold of him that DMX's career began to take off. While being featured on a number of blazing posse cuts, DMX took hip-hoppers to the next level with his smash single, "Get At Me Dog." With tight production and lyrical gymnastics, DMX puts the hardcore back into hip-hop.

- D.M.X IS THE BOM
D.M.X IS THE BEST I THINK I HAVE ALL OF HIS CDS I LISN TO HIS MUSIC ALL THE TIME SO ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS THAT D.M.X IS MY FAV RAPER.
- Classic DMX
This is and will always be a classic DMX joint. Love it. Get it and you will too. Another great artist, albeit a bit vulgar at times. Sick beats and rythm.

- Keepin' it real! Keepin' it rough like a true Ruff Ryder!
Keepin' it real is what DMX does! He takes you along on a ride thru the streets. Showing you how it goes down. Hit the streets with D and learn from the Top Dog! He puts the streets aside and concentrates on the inner struggle. The struggle between good and evil. He contemplates the spiritual side of life. People might hear gunshots and foul language, but try and see past all of that. Have you never been so angry that you curse and scream and if anyone were to hand you a weapon, you swear you would do something to someone!? Love, Hate, Joy, Pain. He tells it how he knows it! Don't judge a book by its cover! With 4 albums all gone to nr1, he has earned respect only few rappers have and this with not as many albums. But who's standing in the spotlight? Keepin' it real! No Doubt! Ruff Ryder to the core! Dark Man and Tupac! The 2 realest! Peace

- This is one of the best albums I've heard. Slick&Original
"It's Dark and Hell is Hot" is easily one of the best albums I've listened to in recent memory. It's got tight, bumpin' beats with the slickest original lyrics out there. It deffinately gets 5 stars.
