Controversial New York rapper, DMX, will be making his return to music with his 7th studio album, The Resurrection Of Hip Hop. The album, which is expected to be released towards the end of 2007, is currently being formulated as a response to Nas’s “Hip Hop Is Dead.”

“Nas is my dog, and he put out Hip Hop Is Dead—and it pretty much IS dead. But, I’m gonna resurrect it with his help and the real artists in hip hop” DMX told MindWhirld TV.

“There are so many people making records, that are not artists. They have absolutely no talent whatsoever. To the point that I’m ashamed to even be associated with them..ashamed to be in the same sort of music.” He continued.

Rumored collaborators include 50 Cent, The Game, Nas, Mary J. Blige, Swizz Beats, Eve and Bone Thugs N Harmony. While production will be handled by Swizz Beats, Scott Storch, Jonathan Rotem & The Alchemist.

“I just wanna clear up all the gray areas and let em know what real hip hop is, who the real artists are and put rap back on the map.”

Anybody else see the irony in that? But yeah sounds like a positive thing for hip hop anyway. Definently gonna support the scene and buy this album.

50 Cent is a real artist? News to me.

His album will fail.Although I like DMX,but seems to me as if he's hating.

His last 2 albums were wet-hot dog ****.

Hasnt had a good album since The Great Depression, and I doubt this one is any good.

Somebody please tell DMX that his only purpose was to fill the void Pac left and now that everyone's over Pac, there's no reason for him to go on.

Hating on what? The fact that hip hop is in decline?


It doesnt take a genius to recognise that "the new breed" of rappers ****ing suck. Seriously how the hell does that shti sell in the U.S?

i hate swizz beats....hate.

i hate swizz beats....hate.

I'm with you on that. All of his beats sound the same too.

I like DMX he hasn't been the same since The Great Depression but I'll be rooting for him on this one!

Just a bunch of hype to get one last pay day.

Yeah, no one buy this crap. He has a 2 album deal with Columbia then he can get out of the spotlight a little bit and keep on smoking crack.

No one buy this ****.

Different taste for different ppl. It takes awhile for ppl to be comfortable with it. East Coast ruled rap for over 20 years. What I tell ppl is,if you dont like it dont listen. East Coast rappers are still throwing there stuff out,it just sucks to alot of other ppl now.
