Unfortunately, DMX is in jail because of tax evasion, but that doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate the impact It’s Dark and Hell is Hot had on hip-hop. Going back 20 years to when DMX dropped his debut album, Dame Grease breaks down how he cooked up “Get At Me Dog,” to give fans a glimpse of how a classic was made.
In the interview with Deconstructed, Dame talks about the original freestyle that landed on a DJ Clue tape, the sample he used for the beat and why he used break-downs in the middle of the verses.
He also reveals what it felt like to go to The Tunnel and hear his songs go off in the club and why X got inspiration from disco for his style.
