This channel has never been better 🔥 I was thinking maybe you guys should put ‘album review l DEHH’ like the ‘DEHH’ part back into the titles. Or have it bigger in the thumbnails. I feel like sometimes subscribers might miss these or not realise they’re DEHH vids.
DMX actually talked about having Bono on a track on Drink Champs so he definitely approved it.

The way westside promotes and re invigorates hip hop is legendary nobody raps like him either its pure. So many good lines "i dont step on my crack like im superstitious", "quarantine i did not spend i do not got friends" "i left the dope game with stripes yall left with opinions". I like how westside markets rap as high art too.

It sounds like you guys haven’t watched DMX’s appearance on NORE’s Drink Champs show which he did not that long before he passed. X named pretty much every guest appearance on the album. Maybe production wise he didn’t have as much input but as far as the guests he definitely had input.

Predictions for the Tyler the Creator Review: Feefo: Comin in after IGOR I didn’t really know what to expect, but I didn’t think he was gonna go this route wit it. Like I said back in the Goblin review, Tyler IS a musical genius. And that Wayne verse though?!? Ga’DAMNN. This is definitely Tyler’s best work. And this shit bump in the whip, FOR SURE this shit bumps in the whip. Kinge : I was actually blown away by this album. The content, the versatility in the production, Tyler kinda bringing it back to his roots with his rapping style…yeah man. Yeah I fux wit this heavy. Foe 30 : This is probably some of the best production I’ve heard on an album in awhile. The way the beat switch up on (insert track name), and the way he layered the production throughout the album was incredible man. High replay value wit this album. Myke : I can just tell you right now that this is gonna be in my top 5 end of the year. I mean, I don’t even know what to say because y’all pretty much covered everything. The only thing I didn’t like too much was Drama yelling on every track. That shit was annoying. But besides that, I think this might be Tyler’s best album to date.

To add to what Beezy said about the Swizz and Just Blaze battle. DMX was also on the hook of Bath Salts originally but they took it off. I felt like they should’ve left it on there. It amplified the track imo
DEHH, this is not the album DMX would have released if he was alive. Swiss took 2 solo X joints off. One song called Pain, X talked about it with Talib and was previewed on IG, the producer said Swiss took it off because of politics. The other song had a Big Daddy Kane sample and sounded 🔥.

I still gotta listen to this album but I don't wanna be disappointed X means too much to me to hear him going out sad. Bath Salts is an old song I know that. Swizz played this during his first beat battle with Just Blaze before Verzuz. Actually, that battle was the beginning Verzuz.
X did get Bono for that track. It was originally Swizz’s track and also had a Kanye verse, but X mentioned having the Bono feature a couple times before he passed.
