DMX The Industry Def Jam Poetry

[561scarface]

this is so fucking true. im a rapper and its true. now and days people dont give a fuck about words they all just want a beat. its not what music is.. music is a form of communication

[HotEvolver]

@kankry15 Dude, you didn't even spell Illuminati correctly.. It's ignorant people like you who spread fear with NO BASIS to other ignorant ass people.. You can't even spell the word so I can only imagine you have no idea about what it is.. Start by educating yourself Son..

[TheHelabela]

aint no sunshine when he's gone

[Justas181]

@TheHelabela he's not gone

[TheHelabela]

@Justas181 I was being sarcastic his music isn't the same quality as it used to be. I can appreciate what he's doing now. I just wish it had those metaphors and those similes and how he played with his words. It would make it better if he incorporated his old style with his new outlook. I was just being sarcastic.

a terrible waste of himself to drugs man and now look...prison. :(

my black men need to get it together,man.

the world is doubtin' my brothas because they're allowing themselves to be put down by the world and letting the burdens of life weigh them down.

That's why you what the fuck I want, cause nobody can finish me

[AlexTheMusicPhene]

[megoboom1]

@AlexTheMusicPhene  and 2pac

[tony4874]

Fuck the Illuminates

[RudeBoi49]

does any know why he criss crosses a fingers at the end as he walks away? I'm curious if that held any true meaning. It a weird hand jester to put up if you really think about it. 

[newyorkshardest3]

@RudeBoi49 its the sign of ruff ryders

[jaa5289]

more music artists will go against the industry and the controlling Illuminati. DMX is a leader and an inspiration to me to trust noone but yourself

[Thizzmotion]

that short joint IS the history of hip hop... but can we not stay in this illuminati dynamic? lets just think for ourselves and discern our own actions, instead of saying there's a big brother trying to brainwash us keeping our focus on hating on some external bullshit we can't even control.. lets just live free and do some good through faith and prayer.

[trudon]

he be like...yeah LOL

[dirtyplaya]

coulda been the next tupac in my opinion...i look up to this man

[TheHelabela]

He said fuckin MC in the damn Poem ppl stop mixing up his words he's talking about the rap game. And he is true to the damn word. he isn't in the Illuminati. stop your shit.

[FreshFruitInc]

just talking about the music industry. not the ancient secret society of scientists who created the Illuminati as protection from the pope during scientific oppression. just the music industry. just normal people. just a bunch of accountants and lawyers who run things and tell you whats up even though they can't play or sing a note. they are not a higher power, and the sooner you realise that the sooner we can take back whats ours.

[asianboomer]

@FreshFruitInc Who exactly do you think controls the industry? Of course he is talking about Illuminatti also.

[FreshFruitInc]

@asianboomer accountants and lawyers, i just said that.

[FuckUtube4Life2010]

@asianboomer there is no illuminati you dumb fuck. i'm so sick and tired of you morons posting this bullshit on every hip hop video. why don't you idiots grow a brain and get a life?

[megoboom1]

@FuckUtube4Life2010  how do u know that huh tell me

[Recklesteen]

@FuckUtube4Life2010 All I'm gonna' say is Rihanna - S&M Video, 2:40-2:41, lower half of the video.

[sOoFrEsH06]

@FuckUtube4Life2010 its idiots like YOU who are dumbed down by our leaders..why in the FUCK would he be talkin about it if doesnt exist? u need to do ur research b4 talking..there is more backing this up than what u have to back up YOUR words on it not existing..S&M video by Rihanna at 2:51 a quote moves across her that says "Rihanna princess of the illuminati" now if it didnt exist why would it be in the video? use ur head stop being ignorant..

[FuckUtube4Life2010]

@sOoFrEsH06 another person with brain damage. sucks 2 be u. do us all a favor and go play in traffic. the less morons we have in the world and on youtube, the better off we all are.

[sOoFrEsH06]

@FuckUtube4Life2010 ignorance is bliss...go kill urself..

[InferiorThanYou]

@sOoFrEsH06 Either way, unless particular people can be pin pointed and called out, it's not going to matter.

[sOoFrEsH06]

@InferiorThanYou true..

[jspears19]

@sOoFrEsH06 Illuminati HATES BLACK people especially the rich ones

[CDotSpray]

they hate everyone who isnt them, especially black people, but sadly need them as hip-hop is the most mainstream genre

[jspears19]

@CDotSpray they trry to get Jay-Z and 50 so bad (fuckin them over) they got Michael Jackson

[CDotSpray]

jay-z is fully on this illuminati thing, i mean hes a great rapper but hows hes managed to stay on top for so long is remarkable when u consider guys like ja rule, dmx, cassidy etc. couldnt

[jspears19]

@CDotSpray Unlike them Jay is a business man. Ja Rule got his shit ended by 50 who is another rapper on top. DMX is just a rapper not that much of a businessman and Cassidy is garbadge to me he's more of a street rapper with in a new era and wont really appeal. Look at Nas, Lupe etc their still doing there thing. But I hate when people maiunly black artists get money and stuff like that people start to think they are in Groups or worshipping stuff. Why can't people just be smart. I

[LetsRide20]

@CDotSpray Dont ever mention Ja Rule & Cassidy in the same sentence with DMX...they could not even shine his shoes!

[newjourney25]

@LetsRide20 Thank you!!!

[Trochaic42]

@sOoFrEsH06 Bravo! Took the words right out of my mouth.

[qingkwest]

@FreshFruitInc

that is, the secret society now..

read a book called " confessions of an economic hit man " the Illuminati is now those people, they wanted the world to be under one global empire.

look what's happening we have military stations around the world, are way of life " capitalism " makes it so money is everything.. we grow up thinking that. Money does rule everything.. they already took over without you guys even knowing.. don't fall victim to monotonous propaganda and read.

:]

[darklight4444]

props

[S0undBite]

thumbs up for the white people looking awkward in the crowd

[xXJeskoXx]

People call Eminem a sell out... Ok maybe he is Illuminaty and hes newest shit aint that good. But the Other Albums like MMLP, The Eminem Show, Encore actualy deservd to sell out. Selling out aint bad when the Songs are good. Lil Wayne, Nicky Minaj, drake, soulja boy those are People who cudnt have succes without illuminaty.

[CCareTTaker]

@xXJeskoXx Don't talk about thing you don't know Soulja Boy was a Millionaire befor he even dropped Crank Dat

[TheJothesh2]

IF YOUR WATCHING THIS VIDEO YOUR PROBABLY REAL, I AM CONDUCTING AN ANTI PSYCHIATRY MOVEMENT FOR THE WRONGS THEY HAVE DONE TO ME... IF YOU WANT TO HELP, PLEASE CONTACT KEVINLAGAS@MAC.COM... THANKS =)

[kisamakara]

the industry is controlled by people into witchcraft/magic and have members of fraternal orders. it is very clear. they manipulate the images in the videos and sounds to influence young people to behave and act in certain way.

[GWRevolution2008]

i miss dmx, one of the greatest live performers in hiphop i ever seen

[MrDemazin]

hes talkin all about how the industry makes artists sell there soul n sing about the devil

[333eriflegna]

@chocolatepowershovel Well, it actually depends on which version you listen to. THIS one he says bat, but in others he says ''Gat''

and satanic worshipers too

[Temari0Is0Cool]

my favorite part was, "The industry don't give a fuck about you. But the industry couldn't make a dime without you."

Everything he said was completely true, I love this guy!

[godzkitchen81]

Hi everyone, I just want to spread the word about these mind blowing well crafted documentary series on the net. Go on google and type ``wake up project`` and also ``the industry exposed``.

[fahlena]

That man is the fuckin truth!!!!!!

[trisun05]

money bitches hate but i DARE YOU TO TAKE A FUCKING THANG OFF MY PLATE. fucking BEAST LINE lol

[raekwonharris]

one of my favorite rappers telling that real shit

[RizMusic1]

X spitting that real shit. These industry cats need to hear this

[ar061788]

''real niggers are dying to get in'' lmao

[jajahotspot]

DMX IS THE SHIT!

[jpkp012345]

he speaking truth about the illuminati

[SmashHitsDRP03]

@jpkp012345 Your spot on!

[thaboiidefinit]

@jpkp012345 i don't get why people always yellin out the illuminati, the illuminati dnt got no business wit rap. they use to be a secret society, and don't think that if they were that there wouldn't be more? what he's talking about is that music is mostly a business owned by a corrupted higher head -.-...

[jpkp012345]

@thaboiidefinit if u read up ancient symbology,and esoteric knowledge u would know....all i can tell u is study more on it and u will soon see..im tired of explainin shit so its on u to find the truth if u really want to

[lilq1997]

@jpkp012345 Respect man thats the truth

[gatlik09]

@jpkp012345 hes not talking about illuminati hes talking about how the industry tries to control you and how its all about money now nothin to do with illuminati when he says sell ya soul hes taking about changing who you are so you can make money in the industry

[skatenkil]

@gatlik09 ay....ay....ay shut up he his talkin bout the illuminati

[gatlik09]

@skatenkil smh hes really not people will believe anything people like you talk about illuminati and free mason when you don't even know the difference between the two smh anything any rappers says people say its about illuminati when its really not maybe if you read a book or something you would see how dumb you sound when you say its about illuminati

[zammy1992]

@gatlik09 there is a difference ofcourse but the illuminati is og a lodge from 1 of the freemasons that doesnt make all free masons bad only like 2% of them

[Yatess100]

@gatlik09 It's not only DMX who talks about selling your soul, Katy Perry said she did, MJ said it in Money and i seen another famous person being interviewed saying people literally put blood to paper and sell their souls, some satanic shit going on in Hollywood.

[MsKayrose]

Spit dat fire X.................the industry love yo spoken word

[KhatarMovies]

Empty talk is when talk doesn't get your hands walk....

[SleepyClassof08]

DMX, this is SPOKEN WORD, not yellin damn it hahaha. Still screamin, this dude a trip. But wat he said was true shit

[4nubiS]

Whats that intro outro song?

[616sBaCK]

no rap artist has sold 200 million dude !!

but i agree with you about the industry.

[tateavery21]

Yes a few has sold over 200 million. The industry will not put that on papaer though

[BassBeatsProductions]

he means 200 million dollars not 200 million cds

[newyorkshardest3]

@616sBaCK if someone sells a million album you have to think about the profit. a million albums get bought and each album costs about $17... so it definetly adds up since dmx within his first two albums solds millions of records. the profit adds up to about 200millions dollars... ruff ryders records alone made a billion dollars in profits off album sales.

[sawdoff1100]

IN HIS BOOK HE SAID HIS FIRST 2 ALBUMS MADE OVER 200 million in sales he said he only got about 3 million def jam got the rest of they money THE INDUSTRY

[Longboarder721]

X goin give it to ya

[ShonenJUMP10]

Real talk

go X !

[fskolc]

It's same shit on the entertainment side; they edit your work and wipe away your strong/real messages, AGAINST your own will! THE LAW: Take it or return home with your craft!

That's what the brother is crying out against!

[fskolc]

At the end of the day you sit back, wondering and finally understanding that the publishers are somewhat the unnamed authors, 'cause they tell you what they wanna publish. You take it or dump your craft under your bed.

[fskolc]

He wasnt specifically speaking about pay and talent.

Perhaps you would understand him better if you had sometime written a 300 page novel and a publisher tells you, We will publish your book but under the condition that some 100 pages of it must be wiped or replaced with so-so-irrelevant stories.

[sfkwildcat]

yeah whatever. He had to suck as much dick as anyone else to be in "The Industry".

Just a fag who sold out like everyone else there. All these musicians on Def Jam only 'cos it makes people think they are serious artists.

If he was working for little cash he'd be out doing something else. Artist my ass.

[ftpolkman]

Says someone with much less talent and much less pay for that talent.

[sfkwildcat]

talent?

yeah like someone who plays baseball has multi million dollar talent?

playing baseball well is soo soo important right?

Carry on worshipping your Gods, called DMX and Michael Jordan. Only a loser aspires to be like them. Do something GOOD and POSITIVE with your life, not lead a hedonistic life like these guys do

[ftpolkman]

I'm not too sure what this video has to do with baseball, Michael Jordan, or worship...

Just because you don't like someone doesn't mean that they don't have talent. Just because you don't like them doesn't mean that they don't do good or positive things.

Never did I mention anything that would amount to worship of him, I just said he has more talent in his chosen profession than you do... :p

[0soup0]

DMX top 5 all time
