However, the track "Party Up (Up in Here)" appearing on this album is less censored then the radio/video edit. Skits were also completely removed from the censored version, including the intro track. Strangely, no violence was edited out except for gunshot sound effects in the background of some tracks and some content on the track "The Professional". ''…And Then There Was X'' was also released as a "clean" version that replaces explicit drug content and profanity with sound effects. ''Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood'' cover. Also, the standard X aggressive joints include "Don't You Ever", "Coming For Ya" and "The Professional", wherein DMX documents a criminal's activities throughout the city.Īlthough not credited as his best work, ''…And Then There Was X'' was well received by fans and critics alike, however, to some criticisms, the production style geared towards a more commercial and radio-friendly sound a stark contrast to his previous work, which involved strong gothic and religious undertones (mainly connections between hell and his bad-deeds), boasting bloody and gruesome images over his album covers e.g. The song was released as a third single in its edited form as "What You Want", to moderate radio airplay and a high-budget video from director Hype Williams. Typical DMX tracks include the obligatory ladies track, "What These Bitches Want", featuring smooth vocals from R&B star Sisqó. The album also featured more meaningful, introspective tracks such as "Fame" and " Here We Go Again", a heartfelt account of an emotional dispute with his protege, 'shorty', who 'fucks up big time', forcing X to leave him to fend by himself in the streets. The second single was popular club / party anthem "Party Up (Up in Here)", which increased album sales significantly. It also reached #1 on the Billboard chart yet again, firmly ranking DMX within hip hop's only artist to have all 3 (eventually, leading up to 5) of their albums reach the #1 spot. The album sold very well selling roughly 698,000 in its first week and went on to be certified 5x Platinum making it DMX's best-selling album to date. The first single of the album, the club banger 'What's My Name' was released, which got heavy rotation on both radio and television. ''…And Then There Was X'' is the third album by American rapper DMX, released on December 21, 1999.

Havoc is the one that’s trying to chop beats and learn the MPC now, and Prodigy has this new style which is calm: ‘You got a lot of heart, boy/All that yappin’/Acting like it can’t happen/It’s niggas like you that fail to realize the realness/So now I gotta deal with this.’ That was a whole ’nother style for him. But you see the dynamic switch with the demo. And Havoc was more or less the lyrical dude-even in a lot of instances writing a lot of Prodigy’s shit.

Schott Free on the creative leap the group had made: “On the album Prodigy was more or less the dude choppin’ up. DMX posthumous album Exodus: Release date, tracklist, songs, features & more. (The remainder of what’s recently circulated as The Infamous Demos consists of fascinating early versions of songs that would later make up the bulk of Mobb Deep’s landmark second album.)
When Mobb Deep’s 4th & Broadway situation deteriorated Havoc approached Matty C-transitioning out of his editorial post at The Source (where he wrote the “Unsigned Hype” column) and into an A&R gig at Loud Records-with a new demo track, “Patty Shop.” It was off the strength of this single demo track that Mobb Deep signed a new deal with Loud. After claiming “Unsigned Hype” honors in July of ’91, the demo attracted the attention of 4th & Broadway A&R (and world famous music journalist) Bonz Malone, paving the way for a name change, and Mobb Deep’s debut LP, Juvenile Hell. Anchored by a snaking electric piano loop, the OG run-through of “Flavor For the Non-Believers” actually trumps the subsequent released version for grimy appeal. In an era rife with kiddie rappers and R&B singers, Havoc and Prodigy (then doing business as the Poetical Prophets) showed the world that juveniles could roll just as hardcore as any of their degenerate grown-up counterparts.
