When DMX emerged, his new name began to appear in some magazines. 1992, he and the famous Ge Gong.
Originally named Earl Simmons, 1970 12 18, DMX was born in Baltimore, Maryland, USA, and moved to yonkers in the southeast of New York with his broken family in his early years. Like most rappers, his childhood was full of thorns, he grew up in a chaotic and violent street, and he often participated in criminal activities himself. His childhood was full of blood and filth, which directly affected his later cruel character and bad temper, as well as his hobby of attacking others. After being lucky enough to live to be an adult, he began to focus on rap music and began to work as a DJ in some places. Later, he began to perform more formally on the edge of the city, and named it DMX, which means the dark man X.
When DMX emerged, his new name began to appear in some magazines. 1992 signed a contract with Ruffhouse, a subsidiary of the famous Columbia company. Soon, his first single, Born a Loser, was officially released. However, the situation is not as smooth as DMX imagined. Instead of continuing to help him develop, the record company fired him. Two years later, 1994, his second single, "Move", was released. However, when his career resumed, he was seriously challenged for the first time in his personal music career. He was identified by the police as possessing drugs. From then on, the police station became the place where he stayed the longest besides his home and recording studio.
After that, he can only take the DJ clue? Underground recording studios are fighting for their own music again. It was not until 1997 that he got a contract with a new record company. DMX joined Def Jam Records and made guest appearances in albums by LL Cool J, Mase, LOX and others.
At the beginning of 1998, he released his first single "Get at Me Dog" after signing a new contract. Since then, his records have formed an indissoluble bond with Dog. This single was a great success and became a golden single, which strengthened the confidence of the record company. In May, DMX released its first solo rap album "It's getting dark, hell is hot", which was mainly produced by Swizz Beatz. This album became the champion of Billboard 200 immediately after its release, and maintained a strong sales momentum, with the final sales exceeding 4 million copies. However, just a few days after the release of this historic album, at the end of May, DMX was accused of raping a stripper in the Bronx, upstate New York, but the DNA test afterwards proved DMX's innocence. At the same time, he also participated in the movie Belly, which hyped Williams' fiasco. After the charges were cleared, 65438+1February 1998, the record company eagerly released DMX's second album, My Meat, My Blood, which continued the rapid momentum of the first album and became the champion of the Billboard 200 list just after its release. Although the album cover was controversial, it finally reached three platinum sales.
Then at 1999, he held a national concert tour with Jay-Z and method man/Lederman. On the way to the concert that just started, he got into another lawsuit, but in the end he was successfully acquitted. However, the good times did not last long. In May this year, he sat in the dock again because of intentional beating and injury. Finally, after various excuses, he passed this pass safely. But that's not all. This summer, DMX was challenged by the biggest lawsuit. His uncle and manager were accidentally shot in a hotel in New Jersey, and then the police went to DMX's home, which was very rewarding. Cruelty to animals, possession of drugs and illegal possession of weapons and ammunition have become the charges faced by DMX couples. In order to avoid imprisonment, DMX proposed to punish him with fines, probation and community service.
In the busy schedule of the police, DMX also took the time to record and release an album Ryde or Die (Vol. 1) with Rap Ryder as the core. DMX himself also released his third solo album "... and then X" at the end of 1999, and became the top of the charts, which was his third consecutive time. There are many excellent singles in the album, and this album has become the best-selling album of DMX, with more than 5 million copies sold. DMX, who likes acting in movies, also starred in the movie Romeo and Juliet by action star Jet Li.
But in 2000, DMX in trouble had to deal with police, judges and juries. In June, a grand jury in new york considered the charges of possession of weapons, ammunition and drugs in Westchester County. Almost at the same time, the lawsuit against him for hiding marijuana in his car in driving without a license in March this year began in Chiktowaga, on the other side of new york. At this time, the police found more marijuana from the cigarette packages brought by DMX. Despite his own debate and appeal, DMX was finally sentenced to jail 15 days. But he can't come out too early, because he also has additional punishments such as contempt of court, and he also has bad behaviors such as attacking prison guards and attacking others in prison. These lawsuits are waiting for DMX. Finally, after he paid the fine, it was over.
Just after he got out of prison, his film "Exit Wound" became the box office champion. DMX's single "No Sunshine" is also included in the soundtrack of the movie. After his legal problems are completely solved, DMX can finally start recording his fourth album. The Great Depression, released in the autumn of 200 1, once again became the top ranking, but the total sales volume was not as good as before, but it was still platinum sales. In 2002, he published an autobiography and made many guest appearances in the album of the post-junk band Audioslave. In March 2003, the new film Cradle 2·the Grave, which dmx and Jet Li collaborated again, became the box office champion again, and the soundtrack led by DMX also had excellent sales performance.
On September 6, 2003, the new album "Grand Champion" of DMX was released. (cat food)
Artist name: DMX
In the music industry-a place where stars are produced-people rarely see the appearance of real masters. DMX is a real artist. After he joined 1998, hip pop music entered a brand-new world with its simplicity, vitality, unchanging passion and violent lyric elements.
1998 indisputably became the year of the dog (1998 DMX released the single "Dog Bites Me"). In May, DMX released Darkness and Hell Are Hot, among which Stop Greedy and Ruffryder * Anthem are the most distinctive singles. Once the album was released, it topped the charts and quickly reached the sales of several platinum records.
That summer, after a trip of illegal existence, DMX returned to music studio. In June+February, 5438, the album "My flesh, my blood" was released, including the exciting rotation single Slippin. The release of this album was only half a year before the release of the last album, but it soon became a champion. This achievement also made DMX the first singer to top both albums in one year. At the beginning of 1999, DMX, together with musicians Jay-Z, method man and Lederman from Def Jam Company, performed the most successful travel performance in the history of hip pop-hard life, which caused another kind of "high temperature" in Miami. In Miami, DMX also started to write his new album, and then X. This album fully embodies the style of DMX, and it is also a masterpiece full of strong movement, crazy rhythm and telling the dark side. "I feel very good," DMX commented on his new album. "I will appear in many forms. But it's also an X SH * T. I mean, try different themes and tell different stories, but as far as this album is concerned, it's also an SH * T. Why did you turn on the switch? If there is no value, then don't choose.
The main reason for the popularity of this album is the strong cooperation between its electronic components and DMX's long-term partner Swizz Beats, who is the executive producer of this album. When explaining his cooperation with Swizz, DMX said: "This is really a kind of care. We are like a family. I have known him since he started to contact the beat and the radio. " Another contributor to the album is Irv Gotti, the main staff of Murder Company Limited, who made an extremely important touch-up on DMX's first single "What's My Name". Following the tradition of the song Slippin*, the record released by DMX is more of a song. The record caused a warning that "the game is bigger than you think you know". "I wrote more than one song to explain to people that you can become a successful rapper by singing in the corner all the time." The inexplicable singer said, "But there are many facts. I just want to sing. But you have to work in the studio, you have to be interviewed, you have to have people take pictures, you have to do this and that. This is not just about dealing with songs. " DMX summed up his success and said, "I am real. People like truth. I didn't exceed this standard. People like real people. " Then he smiled. "But everyone is like a dog."
===================================================
DMX is the representative of the new force in rap. Similarly, he also has a rebellious style unique to young rappers-swearing lyrics, causing trouble, and is widely welcomed by fans. Earl Simmons was born in Baltimore, Maryland, USA on February, 2008 1970. His stage name comes from DMX Digital Recording Equipment Company, and he started his DJ career in a local club. 199 1 won the unsigned hype award in the source magazine, and published the single "Born Loser" on Columbia Records the following year. Later, he tried to get rid of the unreasonable contract with Columbia Records, but after the single "Make A Move" was published in 1994, it was gone, and he himself disappeared into the music scene. And then make a dramatic comeback in LL Cool J's single And his 24 Hours of Living in Mase, LOX's Money, Power &; Respect "and his excellent performance in ice cube's remixed version of We Are Members of the Club have established his reputation. Recently, he signed a contract with Ruff Ryders/ Def Jam Record Company to publish the single Get At Me Dog, ranking in the top 40 in the American singles chart. This song is sampled from B.T. Express's guitar performance. His music returned to the original confusion of hip-hop music and the root of street rap, which made his debut album "Darkness and Hell Are Hot" become the latest moving voice in hip-hop music at 1998. Darkness and Hell Are Hot topped the American album charts.
The fifth album: the fifth album, the fifth champion. Since the first day of the release of the infamous DMX album, he has been inseparable from the status of champion. Prior to this, DMX's four albums all became the champions of Billboard 200 charts. This time, this fine tradition has been continued. The sales volume of 365,438+02,000 in the first week ensured the first position in the leaderboard. However, this result is obviously not as good as his previous weekly sales.
In the United States, few rap musicians are as tough as DMX's hardcore rap music. Of course, it is estimated that no other singer knows the new york Police Department better than him. He takes drugs, sells drugs, beats people, and mistreats animals. In the eyes of almost everyone, DMX is an out-and-out scum, but God has given such a person such an amazing rap talent. His music is full of obscene content, but also retains the rough characteristics of street rap music.
In this album, DMX shows all his favorite contents in music, such as dogs who have always been predestined friends with him, such as women, although his expression may be unacceptable to many women, such as people who play a considerable part in DMX's life. The rhythm is slightly more innovative than the last album, and it is expressed in different beats. In this album, "Shoot Down" by DMX in cooperation with East Coast pop singer 50 cents perfectly expresses the theme of the song, while "Don't go home" by R& female singer Monica sounds like a villain cheating an innocent girl. In this album with the theme of the old dog, either the new tricks of the old dog are stated or these obscene contents are directly displayed, but I believe he can still sell a good result, because he represents the present situation and needs of some people after all.
