DMX, the late hip-hop icon, released his 2019 mixtape “The Best of DMX” just a few years before his untimely death in 2021. The album serves as a powerful testament to DMX’s talent and legacy as an artist, featuring some of his most beloved tracks alongside lesser-known gems. The mixtape captures the raw emotion, aggressive delivery, and introspective themes that made DMX a legend.
The opening track, “Back” featuring Swizz Beatz, sets the tone for the mixtape with its hard-hitting beat and DMX’s trademark growl. He spits lyrics about his dominance in the rap game and his unwavering commitment to his craft. The following track, “Raw,” finds DMX flexing his lyrical prowess, showcasing his ability to deliver intricate rhymes with ease.
“Still Scratching” featuring Styles P is a standout track that showcases DMX’s storytelling abilities. He takes listeners on a journey through his rough upbringing and his struggles to make it in the music industry. “The Industry” continues this theme, with DMX rapping about the corrupt nature of the music business and the sacrifices he has had to make to succeed.
“Time To Get Paid” features a haunting piano melody and DMX’s raw vocals, with lyrics that touch on themes of wealth, power, and success. “The Story” is a reflective track that finds DMX opening up about his life and the hardships he has faced.
“Playa” featuring Snoop Dogg, Method Man, and Redman is a fun and upbeat track that showcases DMX’s versatility as an artist. He trades verses with his fellow hip-hop heavyweights, delivering lines about their shared love of the game and the respect they have for each other’s talents.
“Soldier” is a powerful track that finds DMX addressing his critics and asserting his dominance in the rap game. “Aint Nowhere To Hide” is a haunting track that features a chilling chorus and lyrics that touch on themes of paranoia and mistrust.
“Drug Shit” is a gritty track that delves into the darker side of DMX’s life, with lyrics that touch on his struggles with addiction and the temptations that come with fame. The final track, “Niggas Don’t Want It” featuring Ja Rule, is a hard-hitting collaboration that showcases the chemistry between DMX and his longtime collaborator.
“The Best of DMX” is a fitting tribute to the late rapper’s legacy, showcasing his raw talent and versatility as an artist. The mixtape captures the essence of DMX – the aggression, the emotion, the introspection – and serves as a reminder of the impact he had on the hip-hop community and beyond.
