DMX COMMENTS ON Rhianna

[memyselfni]

AllHipHop.com: Well, that's good. Why do you feel the need to go after Def Jam artists like Rhianna and Jeezy? You called him Young Cheesey on BET...

DMX: I thought that's what he said. I didn't...

[General laughter in room]

DMX: At least I corrected myself. If I'ma diss a n***a, I'm gonna say, "F**k you, you b*tch ass n***a." And I didn't diss homegirl [Rhianna]. I'm just like, "[Def Jam] this is the stuff y'all putting out? And y'all gonna put my s**t to the left?" Come on, you can't be serious. Like that's hot? That's why I said, "This s**t is kinda hot - not." First of all, they stole Will Smith's beat for "Switch." They took the n***a's beat and put some random [person] that can't sing - it's like...come on, man. She ain't hit notes like that.

AllHipHop.com: So, it's not Rhianna as much as it is Def Jam?

DMX: Yeah, and a lack of quality in the music. Take somebody's beat, put some n***a on the girl and say, "Dance."

[glamlush]

well its the truth

[markus]

nah Ima have to disagree, Rihanna can sing her ass off, she's mad talented. Its just that you can't hear it too much in the commercial stuff she sings, but she can really sing though. When he said that she can't hit the notes, I was like:wow: . How can a nigga who CAN'T sing at ALL, try to criticize a girl whos been singing mostly all her life? I find that hilarious :lol:

[currybai]

rihanna can really sing, especially for someone her age. Dmx has that jealousy thing going on, hater.

[Rawkuss]

lol @ jealous ass X..

[ddotdukes5]

Did anybody see her performance on So you think you can dance? My wife called me in the living room because she was lip-syncing, and it was bad too.

[617'sFinest]

DMX IS A CRACK HEAD..Nuff said...his last hot sh*t was his first album

[mattdogg444]

haha i agree

[j0hncena]

DMX going HArd he telling it how it is

[dwadeforprez]

lol X is that nigga

[glamlush]

i think rihanna's a talented girl, but her music is a little too pop for my taste. she has the potential to be a successful authentic artist, but they're not taking her in that direction.

[TwinCaliber2kz]

Rihanna Aiight, I don't Listen To Her sh*t... I overhear it,it ain't bad,it just ain't for me...X Iz My nigga... but he Vex At Da World Right Now... Matter Fact he always been mad at da world... he need to worry less about these other people and more about hisself,in my opinion... X is my nigga though... i hope he drop some hot sh*t... cuz the advance of his sh*t is trash... he need to go back to it's dark and hell is hot...

[Joe Scumbag]

Naw Shes FINE and She Can Sing People Come With THat Oh Shes 17 blah blah blah so what

X Got Alot Of Hate WTF is Wrong With Him

*waits For Hot Ass DMX Summer Track To Bring Him Back:wow: :applause: *

*Then Waits For Him To Fall Off Agian:lol: *

[TwinCaliber2kz]

lmao.... funny and very true

[dre4dollas]

I would smash the hell out of Rihanna...like DMX was fu*kin that girl in Belly

[Bohemia]

X can say what the fu*k he likes about these new commercial artists who are strugllin gold/platinum, 5 Multi-Platinum albums for Def Jam and they couldnt show him enough love for it, fu*k def jam, method man, redman, ghostface should be getting more budgets and promo then young cheesy and rick ross

[T. Okes]

I see where dude's coming from. I mean, y'all can talk all you want about X bein' a crackhead, jealous, mad, whatever...but sh*t, he can't have his opinion? I mean don't get me wrong, personally, I think he's past his prime, but that doesn't take away from what he's done, meaning his material still could be hot. Rihanna's definitely fine as hell, but I don't see her goin' too far...she seems like she'll only be hot up until summer '07 or '08, I really don't see anything REAL special/unique about her. Like him or not, DMX has been in the game for somethin' like 15 years, and started his discography of 5 albums almost 10 years ago...he's got lasting power. I don't care what kind of person you are, your ego would show if you were in this type of situation.

and @ whoever said somethin' like "how could a dude that doesn't sing judge someone who does?" Damn all I can say is, that would be crazy if 99% of critics these days could actually do the things they critique (or at least do it well)...

[Jigga0o7]

I wouldn't have put out X's album yet too. With all the dumb sh*t he does, his cd could've ended up like Beanie Sigel's The B.Coming. Hot ass cd, but his ass was behind bars unable to promote it.

[DaREAL08]

well its the truth

^real talk. it had to be said, so don't hate

shorty can get pipe tho, thats her marketability

[nc4life]

x mad cuz he washed up, career gone and its all his fault. i got mad respect 4 x but he needs 2 leave the rap game alone. go back 2 living in his fantasy world

[Xephon]

haha go dmx!

[yumyum_ice]

DMX need to worry bout himself we all know he got problems

[Playboysoldier]

rihanna cant hit hight notes........hes telling the truth. she can sing yea but she sings really low. and ontop of that....she doesnt even write her own sh*t. jay-z keeps signing on these mediocre talents who have no diversity to offer. its like when he signed ne-yo he must've said "watch a whole bunch of usher videos and imitate every move he does" and he probably told rihanna to watch all of beyonces videos and steal her style.

you people are soo blind you just see looks and catchy songs that you don't realize how fake these people are and steal other peoples styles to get themselves ahead. DMX is speaking that truth. hes saying that def jam shelving all these artists like himself, method man, joe buddenm and redman, to bring out people like jeezy, rihanna, ne-yo, and rick ross. think about if dmx didnt leave def jam.....his album would've never came out and hes lucky he got himself out of his contract.

rihanna can sing better than bi*ches like ciara and cassie......but shes not so special.

[noxidius]

who stole will smith's beat, i was always wondered..

[TeflonDon]

ima just put it this way....i dont even dl rihannas albums...

[BigL4Life]

word mad ppl or going to leave def jam soon most rapper are just going to but
out indie album just cuz of bull sh*t like this in all the major label

[Playboysoldier]

i told niggas from the beginning that LA Reid making Jay-Z president of def jam was gonna be a big mistake and all niggas did was call me a hater. 2 years later then they finally see what i was talking about and now not only are hiphop fans mad at hime but artists who work under def jam are upset with him as well.

LA Reid needs to fire his ass and make LL Cool J president because he has more experience.

[J_Mo]

Rhianna can not sing. I am sorry she sound like a friggin tea kettle sometimes or a whining ass kitten. Holding a note is not the same being able to sing.

[J_Mo]

def jam is the matrix. nothing but a coporation full of agents that only look at the numbers.....tell him kid said it.
LMAO:lol:

[MasterP]

Man DMX just mad cause Def Jam sidelined him cause he has only one good track on his whole fu*king album.

[IBlazeDaily]

Man fu*k DMX, i'm sick of this nigga going on and on about every mothafu*king body. ALL them niggas, little and small getting they cake up, he's just mad cuz he aint get the treatment he honestly did deserve, the nigga is a legend but he's talking too much sh*t now adays w/o the numbers or backing to make it stand...str8 up

[Playboysoldier]

are you aware every DMX album has gone multinum or multi and all debut at #1

1st album = 7x platinum
2st album = 6x platinum
3rd album = 9x platinum
4th album = 4x platinum
5th album = 1x platinum

only reason the last album (grand champ) did bad is because thats when russell simmons was handing over all the rights to def jam to universal music and X didnt get any promotion. so hes in perfect position to talk becuz his first album sold better than majority of the talents on def jam will ever make in there entire career. do you honestly think these people will have longevity??? in a few years rihanna, ne-yo, etc... will be nobodies who will all have a hard time hitting 500k copies

[Young_Remedy]

dmx is the sh*t

i feel ya but grand champ wasnt really a good album it had more promotion than great depression but it had too much fillers...NOW great depression is really underrated and that album had NO PROMOTION and that sh*t sold like a mofo.

[IBlazeDaily]

It's funny how BX always starts throwing numbers in the air. I know the man is a fu*king LEGEND. Just because you sell millions doesnt mean every fu*king word out your mouth is valid and holds weight. DMX has a problem b/c she is young enough to be his child and she has a lot of priority at Def Jam...dont blame her, blame every fu*king teenager, girl, fans, whoever that buys her album and supports her music. She hasn't sold nearly enough as DMX but that doesn't mean down the man b/c he wasn't top priority...blame that on his wack ass beef w/ Hov, dont attack a fu*king girl who you know can't defend herself...

DMX aint the only 1 who had been treated like sh*t @ def jam,
way before Hov took the chair...
Def Jam was supposed to be a fu*king rap label....what they released in the last few years ??? Def Jam fu*ked up alotta careeres in the last few years
(noreaga foxy method man redman joe budden etc).....for what ?? young jeezy christina milian rhianna ??? WTF

why cant she defend herself?? she has a fu*king mouth. he didnt even diss her. the point hes trying to get across is that def jam is bringing out useless talent thats only for popularity and not for sales. those people don't bring in any income. their albums barely hit gold or platinum. no one off the label has gone multi-platinum but kanye west since Jay took over. so whats the point of bringing out these acts and finding talent thats not gonna put any money into Hov's pockets. rihanna is not britney spears or christina aguilera when they were teens and going over 10x platinum. therefore shes useless.

[Dos-effect]

actually ol girl has 4 number 1 hits........young jeezy as corny as he is is a major seller to........X is hot be he need to be real his last 2 albums were garbage and he fell off.......this last one was better but only 4 or 5 songs are really hot the rest I could have done with out.......its the music business def jam is a record label and a commerical one at that.......so he need to accept the fact that the game has changed and pop bullsh*t is what sells now......people dont want gritty rap unless its orlginal X before he got on that sh*t........now his whole style is gimmicky and garbage........but I give the man props for speaking his mind......he just stuck on himself to the degree he not being realisitc

[ADrake22]

First of all, they stole Will Smith's beat for "Switch." They took the n***a's beat and put some random [person] that can't sing - it's like...come on, man. She ain't hit notes like that.

AllHipHop.com: So, it's not Rhianna as much as it is Def Jam?

DMX: Yeah, and a lack of quality in the music. Take somebody's beat, put some n***a on the girl and say, "Dance."

...but was he lyin???? :smh:

btw, this interview is like a month old... i think the quote thats in my sig is from this interview...

[sucker32]

DMX: At least I corrected myself. If I'ma diss a n***a, I'm gonna say, "F**k you, you b*tch ass n***a."

hahaaa

[Tha Evil X]

dmx is the sh*t

[LUCKYC305]

I think X is a lil bitter towards Def Jam and tryin 2 find any excuse to insult da label. Rihanna can carry a tune and then some. Listen to "Unfaithful". Young Jeezy is probably one of da best new hip hop artist in a long time. Listen to the entire first album and his mixtapes. X needs to jus redirect dat anger and save it 4 da people in Arizona!!

[sincere7576]

dmx is living the the past time to move on

[sumcallme_dai]

man i stopped liking DMX when he dissed pharrell .. I was like wtf nigga .. you bark ..
