X might have the least amount of haters of any emcee ever.. seems like everyone loved X

I’m from Rochester, NY and it was the same way there…. EVERYBODY was bumping the album

[jaykaynum]

98 was nice. I was just bumping Vol2 yesterday. Still, X made 98 unforgettable

98, Baltimore was one hell of a summer. I was thirteen and the thing I remember the most is, you heard X everywhere for the entire summer.

DMX was SUPERSTAR on a whole different level. Never seen before.

Irv is absolutely right because in 1998 that was my High school Senior year. When DMX album dropped everyone here in Philly was bumping that album.

[MADNEWYORKER]

"GET AT ME DOG" is my favorite DMX joint ever!!! R.I.P DMX
I noticed that when "X" and Double R came out, motorcycles were everywhere.

It’s Dark and Hell is Hot album is goated af! No wack songs on it. Production was A1.
