DMX is a famous hip hop star from the 1990s who pioneered and finished a brutal style and flow that influenced Bay Area rappers and Southern rappers. His breakout album from 1999 "It's Dark and Hell is Hot" propelled him to success and into the limelight.
Aggressive hip hop and rap became popular under the leadership of Biggie Smalls and was in the court of East Coast rappers. It can be said that DMX was one of the most influential rappers of his day and was raw and fit in with his crew.
DMX grew up on the East Coast and was influenced by early hip hop performers. At the same time DMX was performing in New York, mainline hip hop artists including KRS-1, LL Cool J, Ice Cube and Ice-T. DMX forged his own path in the rap game and his raw raps including "Where the Hood at?" and "Ruff Rida's Anthem" are a great example of his style.
DMX left a legacy that spanned three decades. He began his career in 1985 as an associate of Ready Ron and refined his style on the streets of New York and in prison. He finally entered the limelight in 1999 with the hit single "Party Up". I am a fan of the single "Where the Hood at" and it was played non-stop on the radio in the early 2000s.
DMX passed in 2021 at the age of 50. He suffered many health issues from drug use and will be missed. DMX helped set the stage for aggressive hip hop stars on the Easd and West Coast. He was a movie star and also helped establish a strong hip hop community among big name rappers from the 1990s to 2021. His legacy helped bankroll many artists and helped inspire many to greatness. His unique and persistent flow is still great to this day.
Rising Star Talk:
Not much new to report on the game. It's awesome, and if you haven't played it before, I highly recommend you start and do so. It's the best Hive Gaming community and is Alot of fun to begin the journey as a fledgling artist.
When you do begin, make sure to understand the time commitment and cadence of collecting Starbits. This game is a faucet for cryptocurrency that has alot of great gameplay. I highly recommend swinging for the fences and purchasing NFT packs whenever you can and they are available.
I have been focusing on refining my cadence to maximize returns. So far, it looks to be two music lessons to one mission in which I claim STARBIT cryptocurrency. Now is the time to buy into this cryptocurrency token and HIVE, as the price is low enough to be attractive as a risk asset with upside potential.
