I think he could pull off a huge opening week. He needs another huge hit like Stronger/Gold Digger. But it's possible.

yeah same man. i'm hyped for the album, but i'm not sure it can top R.A.P. Music as my AOTY.

if you see me in a fight with a bear, don't help me fool, help the bear!
Think that's why it gets hated on
People want to hear some growth in their rappers
DMX none of that
Okay I can't believe I missed a new Weeknd track and I thought I was a big fan. Where can I find this?

Thats a pretty good point. But its a double edged sword, the likes of Lupe has shown alot of growth since his debut, buts its not in the direction his fans want.
With X never really switching it up, his fans wont end up disappointed.
I agree.
The whole "this is the art of peer pressure" at the end. Goosebumps type shit. Lmao.

Lupe hasn't grown too much technique wise
And doesn't seem to have a real good grasp on the real world so of course he lost touch with fans
DMX should try working with new sound at least
Imagine X on a Lex Luger beat

Hey Ace been thinking, have you ever made a mix with a chill vibe to it?
I bet X would love to do a new sound but he won't be able to get those kind of beats unless Swizz blesses him with one. If X went clean it would be much easier for his label to back him because they can actually put him in the limelight, as it stands nobody apart from Dame Grease and I guess upcoming producers want to work with him.

yesssss, I'll get back to you about the previous two later tonight too.
I don't but it's honestly been ages since I've played those games.

DMX doesn't want to branch out. It has nothing to do with his image. He blocks the outside world out to a fault, and doesn't have the slightest clue who the latest upcoming producers are or what new rapper might be fun to work with...Dude is living under a rock, and his enclosure is self-imposed.

Random thought. Since Kendrick's won't explain the 'a.a.' in the good kid m.a.a.d city title until we listen to it ourselves through the album
What do you guys think the 'a.a.' stands for?
My money is on Alcoholics anonymous, at least that's the way I think the albums gonna go after Swimming Pools

You make it sound like a bad thing. The album sounds great bottom line.
It would be nice to hear him switch it up and get some new producers to craft a different sound for him. But if it aint broke dont fix it. Lotta artist change it up and their shit goes wrong, or the fans go up in arms.
Look at Kanye, fans give him shit over MBDTF, he was changing it up.
Same thing with Hov on BP3 and Kingdom come.
Lupe went the preacher route and it aint working.
DMX is doing DMX because thats what the fans want, and also thats all he knows how to do. Personally i loved the album.

First of it Sounds ok
To me it sounds like b side tracks
Or some knockoff X
Ye made a shitty album is why he got shit not because he switched it up
When he made 808 his accepted it as his journey

Ayo i been meaning to ask you. What kind of hip hop gets play out in Japan? When your Djing i mean. Typical club shit youd hear over here or does the taste vary?

Auto-Erotic Asphyxiation. Entire album is a concept album about the last hour or so of David Carradine's life. Kendrick is really about to surprise the world with his creativity and talent.

i sure its just hits. like flo-rida or Ye.

Yes. I really think were the only two on here who enjoyed the album and the fact its just classic DMX
If it were as dark and brooding as his first two albums then I'd like it more. It's too Grand Champ for my tastes.

I loved Grand Champ, thought it was a great album. But me and you have gone down this road already lol
double jump
you haven't lived until a random little kid ask you "how do you make love".
this is what dreams are made of
I've wanted a lex-flocka-dmx colab song since I first heard Flockaveli
Flo-rida is way bigger than i ever realized.
I thought he had fell off but i heard him every hour like clockwork on top 40.
How to sell out effectively.
Get your money playa.

These are two opposites man. Yeah it still works, but there's always the fear of stagnation, especially when there isn't anything really going against some versatility once in a while. Stifling creativity at the trying-level just doesn't sound like a good idea.
I feel like X has restrained his comfort zone since getting fucked over by everyone in his old camp. Yeah he's a bit pissed at the world right now, maybe that's why the album is a little safe. But I know he doesn't want to sound like other cats, and I respect that. Maybe his next album will have more risks.
Is what I was asking for before too.
Damn. Hot track.

I thought that it was only radio hits that would be popular in the east. It was a guess. I guess I was wrong ? My bad.
