I think the only time I've ever heard the song in its entirety is when I watched that claymation christmas movie, uh, where the nose actually lights up? idk it was some scary shit

rudolph was famous WAY before the claymation; the gene autry version (which, as i've been on an autry kick for the past few weeks, is on my mind) was the one that really put it on the maphttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ara3-hDH6I

yeah I probably have heard it (listening to the Autry now) sometimes, but 99.1% of my hearing of the song would be in school singing and shopping centre carols and such. I def remember thinking it was some dumbing-down bullshit for sticking one new made-up nonsense-powered dude in as lead and reducing all the Night Before Christmas named reindeer to [omnes], as a kid

when i was in high school he got arrested near my whitebread town (traffic stop, "a small amount of marijuana was discovered"), and a couple loudmouth goon kids in my school had parents who were guards where he was being held. they were briefly very popular for having behind the scenes tales of what a badly behaved inmate he supposedly was, throwing food at the guards & etc. i was 110% team DMX then & now, hope he knocked their teeth out

I know I barely register as a rap fan on here, but back in the 90s I used to love this track he did with Cam'ron, which was probably the first time I heard him.

This is one of those cases where his legacy feels tiny compared to his importance at his peak. He was Jay-Z or Tupac level popular, with those kinds of sales. Like 25 million?
Maybe it's a combination of his post-fame life story (pretty tragic) and his rapping style (and associated production style) that means that it feels like a B-list story. The Ruff Ryders / Lox pretty much dominated NYC when I arrived here in 98. It just hasn't found the critical look back that other scenes (Dungeon Family, Chopped and Screwed, early trap) has. And to be honest, it doesn't sound great to my ears today (having not heard him in around 18 years).

Doesn't feel like a b-list story, the RIPs have been a reminder of how big X was as a crossover artist - beloved by rednecks who listened to Pantera to rednecks who listened to country to pop fans to rap fans and everyone in between.

I guess I'm suggesting that he hasn't been seen as "influential" (for whatever that's worth). But I could be wrong, as milo z indicates.

dmx’s imperial phase happened before i got heavy into hip-hop (i was 8 when it’s dark and hell is hot came out), so my earliest exposure to him came thru mtv, and it was clear that he was on some other shit. and i still knew the words to 5-6 of his hits through sheer cultural osmosis
rip to the man
