DMX Album: “And Then There Was X... [Edited]”

Description :

Personnel includes: DMX, Regina Bell, Dyme, Sisqo, The Lox, Drag-On. Producers include: Swizz Beatz, P. Killer Trackz, Grease, Shok, Nokio. Recorded at The Hit Factory, Miami, Florida and Power House, Yonkers, New York. AND THEN THERE WAS X was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Rap Album and "Party Up" was nominated for Best Rap Solo Performance. No other rapper exerts quite as much energy as Def Jam heavyweight DMX. With his adrenaline-pumped hip-hop anthems, Yonkers native DMX has taken the hip-hop industry by storm. His third album, AND THEN THERE WAS X came only one year after his highly-anticipated second album, FLESH OF MY FLESH..., which came only six months after his multi-platinum debut, IT'S DARK AND HELL IS HOT. With this series of rapid-fire releases, DMX was able to remain on the cutting edge of rap. "What's My Name?" perhaps most clearly demonstrates the power of the Ruff Ryder frontman. The other Swizz Beatz-produced tracks bring forth more of the same flavor. His rough-edged lyrics and spitfire delivery will leave his "dogs" foaming at the mouth for more. Though X is backed by one of hip-hop's most prominent crews (the Ruff Ryders), the platinum pit bull proves he can hold his own and then some.

this is definately 1 of the best cds i've got. tracks 3-12 r really good.his rhymes r better than they've ever been.if you like rap at all, you gotta get this cd.i really didnt like rap much but this cd changed my mind.GET IT!

I bang all 5 of the Dog's albums. This one I bang too but I listen to the same few congs cuz the rest I'm not feelin. This was his best seller, but not his best and rawest effort. Out of 15 songs, I bang only 7, thats just half the CD. His other Cds you can bang almost the whole project.
