plenty had promise but nobody had the charisma that pac had until DMX arrived. My good friend @gannonthegreat and I both kept our eye(s) on the release schedules to make sure we didn’t miss out on his @defjam debut album. On May 19, 1996 we left school promptly and hopped into my 1986 Toyota Tercel nearly 30 miles to pick up ‘It’s Dark and Hell is Hot’ on release day. And from the second we hooked up the portable CD player to the tape deck...we were transfixed the whole way through. We just sat in stunned silence. On the second spin…’Ruff Ryders Anthem’ came on we looked at each other and my buddy said ‘I don’t think DMX is capable of making a wack song.’ That album is an absolute classic.
