My opinion still stands. DMX was not legendary. I am just editing the title because I'm realizing that he deserves some respect now that he is dead. But not because I'm bothered at your reactions.

His uniqueness made him legendary!! Nobody could ever replicate his style. How is that not considered legendary? It’s not like he was a one hit wonder. Everybody across the Globe knew X. Once your music is featured in multiple films, tv shows, and commercials how could you not give him his spot amongst the legends?he is an icon and unique, but a legend he was not. nobody has ever had his rapping style tho...
He was recognizable back in the early 2000s but wasn't even in the top 7 when it comes to mainstream. I can guarantee you this because I lived those days.and dmx was huge in the early 2000s..
Where did he sell 74 million records? That sounds like an exaggeration to me. Where are the receipts for this? And how old are you? Because I was around even when Tupac, Selena and Aaliyah.Yeah, there's no way a man who put out 2 classic albums in the same year, ended the "shiny suit era", saved Def Jam, and sold 74 million records worldwide could ever be a legend
I don't know if he was better (probably that he was) but Eminen indeed is more successful and iconic. You have Drake who is quite overrated and he's super huge too. It's not even about rap skills what I'm talking about but status.You think Eminem is better than DMX?
LMFAOOOOOOOOOO
DMX would light these fools up. DMX was the voice of the struggle and that's why people love him.Eminen, Drake, Kanye West and Jay-Z are rappers that have definitely ruled a generation. 50 cents and even Ja Rule too (considering they had a huge short peak). Let's not forget Snop Dogg. P. Diddy, MC Hammer, Outkast, Nas even Ice Cube and some others.
This doesn't mean DMX was a mediocre rapper because he simply wasn't. But back during his peak he wasn't even among the top 5 or even top 7. He was probably not too far from Method Man's level. I'm talking about the late 90s and early 2000s.
Whether you agree or not, it's on you. RIP to the man. He still made great music.
Don't get me wrong. He was a good rapper. But legendary? Really? Not even iconic in live if you ask me.

He might have those number #1's but was never as huge as those you mentioned. Let's not be delusional. We can't compare him to Eminen, Jay-Z or Kanye. I was around that time.FIVE number 1 albums since he first debuted, not even Jay Z NOR Kanye Did that. 2 albums where number one in a year, NOBODY else has done that ever. Snoop Dog doesn't even have as many number 1 albums, neither does 50 cent.
The only rappers who have more number 1's than him are eminem, Jay Z, and Kanye. THAT tells you something.
Don't let the fact that DMX was the only one with a cocaine addiction that he couldn't shake, and DID NOT care about money fool you. He sold too much for this sh!t
Boy, he didn't even sell 15 million records. That 74 million was an invention of yours. Either that and you two are using a method I'm not aware of.If somebody has 5 number 1 albums, the same amount of number 1's as NAS and MJ, 74 million is not an exaggeration honey. That sounds right on track. FIVE number 1 albums, multi-platinum.
Drake indeed will be considered legendary in the future considering he dominated a whole decade. Whether he is overrated or not is another story. But he is huge.Lol @ you calling drake's sloth looking ass legendary.
He might have those number #1's but was never as huge as those you mentioned. Let's not be delusional. We can't compare him to Eminen, Jay-Z or Kanye. I was around that time. He still deserves respect. I'm not trying to bash his career.
You are definitely another stan.You have some NERVE to call someone delusional when you don't want to believe that someone with five number 1 albums that all went milti-platnium, couldn't have possibly sold 75 million records. YOU are delusional for your lack of acceptance.
LIKE I SAID, do not let the fact that DMX was NOT about money and was in wayyy more trouble than those people fool you. He did not brand himself like them. Thats the difference. But he made fµck!ng history and achieved rare sh!t. His music is still played today.
YOU are the delusional one. You're dismissing details of his actual SUCCESS and career to prove some weak ass point. You know damn well DMX was not on that same sh!t as the others were on. He didn't make AS many albums, he was in jail and battling addiction rather than doing business sh!t like Diddy or someone.
But when it comes to RAP music, fµck all the mogules. Look at the numbers, count those number ones, count those albums sold. Look at how people still play his old hits because they are that TIMELESS. That tells you about the legacy of someone in RAP MUSIC.
Dmx sold 23 million records in the US and 70 million world wide. This is singles and albums included. This isn’t just album sales lmao. If you wasn’t a fan or into dmx like that than that’s fine but let’s not try to discredit someone.Boy, he didn't even sell 15 million records. That 74 million was an invention of yours.

DMX was good but let's not call him legendary. He never had that status in live.

I'm not discrediting him. I am just saying that he wasn't legendary.Dmx sold 23 million records in the US and 70 million world wide. This is singles and albums included.

No need to use the F word. You are taking it too serious.You definitely don't know what the fµck you are talking about, didn't even bother to do your research, but still wanted to come with a wrong ass opinion.
