[kingAlcApWn]

wtf did he just censor his won song lmao, anyways i wish they redo the ruff rhyder song like the performances he does with swizz beat

[kingshahine]

[scarlett72nd]

Performing with his shirt off I love it! Reminds me of PAC. DMX is a fucking Legend man. FUCK COMMERCIAL MONEY MAKING MIND FOCUS. TALK ABOUT THE STREETS THATS WHATS REAL

[DeezNuutz10]

@scarlett72nd

talking about the streets is whats real? smh must be a kid

[TRUEBLUE2053]

@scarlett72nd THE BEST SHOW EVER WAS ERIC B AND RAHKIM LIVE AT THE APOLLO ITS A MUST SEE CLASSIC

[DeezNuutz10]

@scarlett72nd

talkin about the streets is whats real? lol i bet u a white person not even close from the streets, u just infatuated with the image/look of it.

it doesnt have to be street in order for it to be "real" and every rapper is in it to make money as well. difference is wack artist do it for money and money only. real artist do it for money but also the art. rap is a job for them, that's how they make their daily bread.

some of you just dont want anyone to be succesful.

[paulrules123]

@DeezNuutz10 whut doez it matter if ur white? therez black, mexicanz, asainz dat aint street either. datz a steroetype.

[DeezNuutz10]

@paulrules123

wth u talkin bout? dude basically said real = street which is a damn lie. my point was u dont have to be street in order to be real.

read u goofy muthafucka

[ICANDIGUOUT]

@DeezNuutz10 u better go head fam lol. everything you've wrote is real...thing to always remember is average people tell on themselves. they always buy into the hype & stereotypes. u know..the brainwashing.

[Sercan787]

@scarlett72nd Best Rapper men dmx

[skinyv1985]

DMX the first to wear bandana like that

That's that eastcoast style

[XxSumSmashxX]

theres JA rule and Irv gotti

DMX LEGEND!!

[swojswiat2000]

next 2pac ,i like this raber because real nigga.

DMX-the best

[MachitoEstefano]

q buena musica carajooooooooooo!!!!!!

[polskaoleklomza]

you got to see him live

[coolmusicforyou1]

reminds me of tupac. so much energy.

[riniks112]

true to that

[Mezor41]

From the Apollo ? the theater in Harlem ? or where was that ?

[johnnieBgood]

yes! its from the Survival of the Illest concert.. check that out!

[scarlett72nd]

Is it Ja Rule at 2:11 ?

[datele20]

yes, he is.

[rewill17]

NO!

[scarlett72nd]

He's a brilliant performer. On all his videos and live performances. He was born to do what he does. Legend!!

[Cappuchyta]

!!!!!!!!!!!!this is the best!!!!!!!!!!!

[Gyro911]

He and Eminem are the best live rappers who actually sound just like their album. Dre, Snoop do, 50cent, Pdiddy (huhuhuh) sound sloppy and totally different. Theyre not allowd to sample live unless they want to be given the mili vanilli label

[scarlett72nd]

I know what you mean.....Even The Clipse. I like them but they shout on stage many rappers shout. T.I nearly died on stage at the grammys this year when he was doing his verse on swagger. I thought he was gonna keel over cause he was so out of breath. It takes more to be an artist than putting lyrics together. DMX is the full package. Full artist who's made an amazing career in music AND don't forget his movies people!

[SteveHAYSTACKsmith]

either youtube is slow or I have a bad connection today cuz this vid is laggin.

[TheAguiluz]

Check out my Chopped&Screwed Version for all the Screwers!

[staind420]

wow editing sounds SOOO DUMB.. FAIL

[PaulDThen]

Tru shit naw mean. Probably one of his best live performances especially wit d Legendary "Ruff Ryders Anthem." Purple bdana to da left and all. Whether u like it or not. X is d best, was d best, and will always be d best dat ever did it. So wat if he has problems. We all do right? Do your dirt than take it to church. Ruff RYderz 4 lyfe.

[scarlett72nd]

Real Hip Hop! Jay Z and all these commercial idiots could never do a show like this. DMX FOR LIFE!!!

[c0ldpr0xy]

why censored -.-?

[Kenjidadragn]

yo i got love for dmx i really do he lyrics and beat are the shit but im a mexicano so I got love for some southern rappers i aint saying they as good as dmx but they aint worthless either aight?

[gaulakh14]

y is this edited?

[mcedrone2334]

its live at the appolo thats y

[DeezyEntertainment]

hiphop isnt dead, its almost dead. The albums of ICe cube And DMX maybe can safe hiphop for a bit

[xblChiT0wn]

only DMX AND ICE CUBE? BRO, did you forget about DRE's last album i believe..detox? don't forget about the game's album L.A.X. coming out AUG26. what ye, if cube has one coming out its fo sho bringin back the real gangsta rap.

[DeezyEntertainment]

Detox isnt coming ou this year, and i forget the game's album

[tazzz174]

X THE RAWEST OUT OF NEW YORK, YEAGH I SAID IT!! THE RAWEST!!! BIGGIE HAD FLOWS BUT WE ALL KNOW HE WASNT A REAL THUG LIKE X OR PAC!!Nas is smart and lyricaly inclined but im not to sure about his street cred.x is the whole package for the east!!!

[28gramzz]

ny will always be the shit we show nigas how to get fly n how to talk ...the rest of yah follow xcept the westside. i got love for the south but i hate them corny gay laffy taffy mainstream niggas. yah fucked up hip hop

[blanchard22k]

New York is Rap the South is gay cept Scarface.

[bay224]

u bitch niggas ridin on bikes..this shit garbage dat nigga cant even pull 50 people a concert now fuckin crackhead lol...south run dis..new york done.

[brooklyn5105]

yalll niggaz can't even speak english! thats why when we come down south we fuck yall bitches

[bigkckrva]

man wtf are u talkin about? X has more people come to his concert than south rappers combine thats why u got bottles thrown at south rappers for being gay (T.I) LOL.. i rather ride bikes than some sorry ass low riders or some crappy OLD 64' shit! DMX has 6 straight #1 albums over 20+ million record sold and the "ONLY RAPPER" has 2 #1 album in one year, enuff said! from T.I to Lil Wayne would get walk over by DMX and the Ruff Ryders easy, DMX is known world wide while those 2 wouldn't come close.

[kingshahine]

southern rappers is why hip hop died

[crispyowns]

fuking south suk they killed the game we need to bring it bak to the east

[rewill17]

that the man! thas ma nigga!!

[TNT905]

its sad, this music isnt being made now. son this south shit really fuked up the game.. damn

[kingshahine]

i dont listen 2 hip hop anymore. the south really did screw up.

its sad that i have to look forward to a 50 cent album now

2006- the year hip hop died

[lucirz]

damn he sounds good even live...most rappers nowadays sound like shit live...

[TLRoar]

No one sounds better than him live.

[patc411]

[XboXrockS101]

STOP FORCIN ME 2 LOVE PAC I LOVE DMX

[AreA201Tv]

LONG LIVE THE DOG F PAC X FOR LIFE

[TLRoar]

Go watch all of DMX's other live performance. No one can hype up the crowd better then him. And look at this, you can actually understand what the hell he is saying (unlike the garden variety studio rapper).

[uniomomomom]

pfft hes alright... Check out TapeDekRok if you want to hear some real shit. bittorrent(dot)com you can get the whole fucking album...

[kkk50cent]
