Rainy Season - DMX
Welcome back to the Draft Pick Mix Show.

Last year Hip Hop lost 3 heavyweights, all within the month of April. Each artist brought a unique energy and contribution to the Culture.

DMX made his breakthrough in 1997, to my recollection. I first heard him on the Westwood show, a clip of ‘Get At Me Dog’. The beat was the best on the show that night, then the voice?!! Whoever he was, it sounded like he meant business, he wanted his part in the game…YESTERDAY!

I gotta be honest, I was into Canibus. I believed he was the second coming of Christ and I was busy paying witness to his gospel verses, so I didn’t have the time to faff around with any pretenders. It was worse when everyone else bought into the Def Jam constructed hype.

I wasn’t trying to hear it…Canibus…people…Canibu…oh forget it. Cut a long story short, after all the fuss has died down, I’m listening to ‘Slippin’ and im thinking ‘fuuuck!!! This dude is ridiculous’. I then heard his wake up show freestyle with Onyx and I figured, I’ve got to listen to everything he has done. I became a believer.

I loved the Breakfast Club interviews, but hated some of the other stuff, with his son, his run ins with the law, his addiction. If all we knew was his music, his memory would be flawless…well guess what, that’s all i’m focussing on this mix, lets enjoy the DMX that the man wanted us to hear.


Enjoy
