Welcome to another Thursday as that mean we are closer to the weekend. This week will be a little different. We are honoring the late, great DMX who passed away last Friday. DMX had a heart attack on April 2nd and succumbed a week later. He was 50 years old and was preparing for his comeback. There is a completed album he finished before passing away. DMX hit the scene by dropping 2 platinum albums in one year. It’s Dark and Hell is Hot dropped in May of 1998 and went 4x platinum. Flesh of my Flesh, Blood of my Blood was released in December of 1998. The album sold over 3 million copies. Get at Me Dog, Stop Being Greedy, Ruff Ryders Anthem and How’s It Goin Down were the four singles for his debut joint. Those four cuts along with Niggaz Done Started Something are my top 5 tracks. The Lox, Mase and Drag-On were featured on the album.
Flesh of my Flesh, Blood of my Blood was the second album dropped by DMX. Slippin was his big single and probably my favorite DMX cut ever. Jay-Z, The Lox, Drag-On, Swizz Beatz, Mary J. Blige and Marilyn Manson appeared on the album. Blackout, It’s All Good, We Don’t Give a Fuck and No Love 4 Me along with Slippin are my favorite five. For my Throwback Thursday, we will highlight both of DMX’s first two albums. Rest in Peace to the legendary DMX. We all will miss you and never forget you.
