Okay....I feel I'm a pretty diverse fan of music. I love all kinds, and
that even includes some....some rap. I have over 500 CD's, and music is
the greatest thing in the world. Even bands/artists I can't stand, I
still try and figure out why people like them, and I don't really say
much about it. UNTIL NOW! DMX sucks so bad, I'd rather listen to my
celing fan for 12 hours!! His voice sucks, his rhymes sucks, his stage
presence sucks, his "band" sucks, he just plain sucks ass!!!!!!!

IF there is anyone who can convince me, that this guy is good....I'll
give you my 500 CD's!! And "selling records" does NOT count! I do like
some of today's rap.........
Jay Z, I can handle! Clever rhymes, good voice, and good beats. You call
DMX hip hop?? No Way!

So to those of you who are over the age of 20 or so, do you agree with
me?? Kids don't count here, because that's the target audience. But
again, I just don't understand.
We've all discussed Britney, Backstairs Boys, N-sync etc....and sure I
don't care for them, but I understand why most people like them. I'm
certainly not going to post a message saying they suck. I can't justify
it, because my opinion does not count. They're songs are catchy, nice
voices, good looking (not that it matters, but have you ever seen a
"Ratchel Drasch" singing sensation)?, they sell out arenas...not the
outhouses that DMX plays, kids don't have to hide the CD from their
parents...etc!!

But DMX.....well you read what I had to say. That is no opinion.....that
is a plain and simple FACT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If anyone disagrees (over 21) I'm interested in your argument.

I'm under 21, and I like rap, but can't stand DMX. But I can tell you why
people like him. Originally, he got underground fans because of his vocal
ferocity. However, most of them ignore him now, because you can't stand on
vocal ferocity alone for very long. He also lost a lot of hardcore fans because
he made about 3 albums in two years, which threw any chances of creativity out
the window. At this point, he is mostly liked by white kids at high schools
like mine who want to seem tough in front of girls. He really is no longer
grouped with rappers in my book, he's more of a Limp Bizkit-style braindead
SOB.

As far as record companies care, "selling records" is all that counts, the
talented people in this country typically DON'T have record contracts.

The regurgitation sketch and the return of "Simmer Down Now" made DMX look
pretty good by comparison.

That can also be explained about the band. He didn't show up for Thursday
rehearsal, which means he rehearsed that performance twice at the most. The
band was pretty good probably, I don't think they regularly tour with him, but
they couldn't get the song down because he thought he was too fucking big to
show up for rehearsal.

Okay, like obviously you didn't read my post clear enough!!

Did I say Britney sucked?? NO!
Did I say Nsycnfags sucked?? NO!
Did I say Backstreet boys sucked?? NO!

Yeah I hate them, but they don't suck!! (in the sense that DMX sucks)
They have TALENT! I can admit that, because I am a DIVERSE fan!
Oops, I said it agian. Am I still full of BS???

I said DMX sucked...because I proved it!!!!
There is nothing good about him, it is a plain FACT!
He has absolutely no talent!
If YOU can convince me, that he doesn't suck, please do!!!!!


God damn! I try and write clear enough posts, not to give anybody the
wrong idea, but there's always someone who can't get past the first
paragraph!

The person who wrote about "why" he's big, made perfect sense.
The whole underground thing, and the 2 CD's back to back.
He knows what's going on.....but you.....no I don't think so.

And Stan..........shut up!

Ummm... no?

That would be me. Thanks. He had potential in my opinion, but he ruined it by
hooking up with Swiss Beatz, the most untalented producer in rap and possibly
music history. All his songs consist of 2 to 5 notes and he has twice stolen
beats for songs from his Casio keyboard. I don't think Casio will even allow
him to buy their products any more because of that. DMX came out of the gate
really strong, and his first few singles were great, but Swiss Beatz killed his
career with his two note keyboard samples. As I said, the only people who like
him now are snotty white high-schoolers who think they will seem more "ghetto"
if they go around saying "Where my dawgs at?"

OK, "like obviously" you didn't read MY post clearly:
Was I commenting on anything you may or may not have said about B. Spears? NO.
...about NSynch? NO.
...about the Backstreey Boys? NO.
See, if you'd have been reading, you would have seen that I was commenting on
some particularly heinous shit you'd said about *DMX.*

<<Yeah I hate them, but they don't suck!! (in the sense that DMX sucks)

Yeah, you are unfortunately. Look Mr. Diversity, whether you believe it or not,
any opinion YOU express about any performer is YOUR OPINION. You can stand back
and point to it with two hands and say "Hey, look at this beautiful fact
everybody!", but if you're discussing the quality of someone's ART, it's YOUR
OPINION.

<<I said DMX sucked...because I proved it!!!!

You proved it? YOU PROVED NOTHING! All you did was run your mouth about your
opinion. How many exclamation points do you think are required to turn an
opinion into a fact? How can simple word-drool, spewing from your lips, prove
ANYTHING other than that you don't like the guy?

And besides, why are YOU so special? Who made YOU the judge of taste and
artistic integrity? When does your idea of talent (or quality) constitute the
standard for anyone's art other than your own?

Hey...........do you even HAVE any art of your own? Do you create anything? How
about if you wrote a great story, or sang a beautiful song, or painted an
amazing painting....really busted your ASS on it, put a lot of yourself into
it, your experiences, your sweat, your inspiration, your mind. And I came along
and took one look at it and posted that not only did YOU HAVE NO TALENT, but
that YOU WERE A BAD PERSON. YOU SUCKED. You would feel pretty damned indignant,
because after all, I don't even know you. Right? Of course! But it's cool as
shit for YOU to get on here and trash another man's work AND him as a person as
well.

<<God damn! I try and write clear enough posts, not to give anybody the wrong
idea>>

WTF? It's not a wrong idea to make value judgements on other people based soley
on whether you like their MUSIC?

Man, YOU NEED SO MUCH HELP. I don't care how damn deferential you THINK you're
being towards B. Spears or the Backstreet Boys or NSynch, if you can't keep an
open mind about EVERYONE, you're just another closed-minded flame-baiter.

(But then, that's just MY OPINION, isn't it?)
