This is really sad. I wish dude would have gotten his shit together. He was definitely one of my favorites when I was younger and even though I didn't rock with much of his later work, his first two albums are gems. At least now he will be reunited with Boomer. RIP Dark Man
Yeah, I wonder how complete it was at the time of his death and if he locked down those Griselda and Pop Smoke features. Hopefully if more work has to be done on it, they do it in his style like Sean Price's Imperius Rex.
Every vehicle passing by here in Bronx right now is bumping D.M.X., those Def Jam executives are loving the revenue from these streams right now, it is going to keep their pockets good and fat for a good time, people still are bumping Nipsey Hu$$le two years after his death, so I know X is going to do the same.
Like most have stated here. I would say his first four albums, especially the first two hold a special place in hip hop history. I can recall when Get at me dog dropped and got decent buzz. Then Ruff ryders anthem followed and he blew up. Can't deny he was a king of hip hop circa 98/99, when rap music was dropping gems continusly. RIP Earl Simmons.
