Music reviews of Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood
Music Review: People need to stop hating
Rating: 4 Stars
Normally I don't write reviews for any album, but I'm tired of hearing about how everyone thinks DMX is a 2 Pac clone that doesn't compare. First of all, he isn't 2 Pac! Hello! Is this sinking in? He doesn't want to be 2 Pac and he never will be, so stop comparing them. 2 Pac was good, I don't think he was the best, but obviously a lot of people do. In either case, DMX and 2 Pac are nothing alike (other than being buff and bald.) So they both claim to be thug, who gives a rat's *ss? So do a lot of other rappers that look like you could pull 'em out of a cereal box (Fabolous comes to mind.) DMX got his following for being the most vicious rapper to grab the mic since Brotha Lynch Hung, PERIOD! He speaks violence, he sounds violent, and he basically is violent. So if you want rap that is feel-good and friendly, don't buy the damn album! How hard is that? If you like clean-cut raps and sophisticated metaphors about poverty or government corruption, listen to underground like everyone else does. This isn't rocket science people, even a toddler should be able to figure this out. DMX grew up in some of the worst living conditions I've ever seen, he's been broker than a room full of homeless guys at least 5 or 6 times, and he's still here. So what if he's grimey? That's the idea. DMX is supposed to make you want to strangle random people in your local bar, that's his purpose, and let's face it, someone has to be that guy. I love the fact that he doesn't rap about wrist watches and 20 inch rims every other line. That style played itself out in about 2 years. Violence needed to be brought back to rap in a real format, this isn't the 80s and it's never going to be again. There are too many rappers trying to make a damn political statement with their rhymes when they should've just stuck with what got them to the top to begin with (Eminem, I'm talking about you buddy.) DMX has never failed in that department, his first album was grimey as hell and he's stuck with it, finally a rapper that didn't sell out and clean up his lyrics because people thought he was innapropriate. Personally, I like my rap to be raw, in your face, and vicious, so DMX is one of my favorites. I understand a lot of people think he has no lyrical talent and they hate Swizz Beats production (so it sounds industrial and different, cry about it), and they think he repeats the same topics...again I say...SO WHAT!? All of rap is repetitive, there's only a few topics that really get touched on by mainstream rap and most of them have to do with "ooh look at me and how much money I can waste on useless crap like a shiny watch." DMX will rap about robbing you, slapping your brother, smoking dope with your mother, and stabbing your father, and that's about it, but don't knock him for it. If you hate DMX then you just aren't a fan of violent rap, the same way I detest family friendly rap, it's okay, nobody likes it all. Rap is damn near in the toilet again, thanks to southern rappers singing crap like "I just bought a cadillac, throw some d's on that b*tch." or whatever that crap is that is popular today, DMX is keeping rap alive for those of us that just want to hear something to get us pumped up and ready to fight. And to hell with being politically correct, violence is a part of this culture and it should be recognized the way greed seems to be. And please, don't go saying that you wish they'd bring back the Fat Boys and Vanilla Ice...you must be smoking crack or something. A lot of rappers from that era had no talent at all, so what if they were nice, their cd's were old the minute you unwrapped them and I'm glad they're washed up and damn near forgotten. I happen to enjoy DMX more than 2 Pac even though I'll admit he's not as talented from a lyrical aspect. His voice is remarkable, his sound is one of a kind, and his anger will never be matched. So quit hating on DMX cause you think he wants to be 2 Pac, if you'd stop riding 2 Pac's jock for 5 minutes you'd see how stupid that statement really is. DMX is the closest thing there is to an rabid animal that can rhyme and there will never be another, so hate if you want, but quit comparing him to 2 Pac. Pac was never the best anyway, B.I.G. was miles ahead of him, so get off his jock and get it straight. I despise stupid critics. Oh...and learn how to spell, you look even dumber than the stuff you write on here, didn't anyone go to school?
Description of Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood
One of the breakout stars of 1998, DMX wasted little time in following up his No. 1 album It's Dark and Hell Is Hot with Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood. If the quick turnaround seems surprising, maybe it's because DMX's second LP doesn't fall far from the original tree. Key to his formula, DMX has mastered the art of thug-life anthems, following in the dubious footsteps of 2Pac and Noreaga. While his gruff voice and simple delivery help make his songs infectious, they're rarely creative, especially with anemic beats, redundant subject matter, and his trademark barks. Basically, Flesh of My Flesh is a perfect buy for those who couldn't wait a whole year for another DMX LP, but it won't convert many new listeners. --Oliver WangGeneral CDs
