DMX - I Don't Dance
Artist: DMX
Featuring: MGK (Machine Gun Kelly)
Producer: J.R. Rotem
Album: Undisputed
Label: Seven Arts Music/Universal
As a kid you probably wanted to be an astronaut – how’d that work out for you? In the real world our dreams often never come to fruition, but occasionally dreams do come true. Today we have a hip-hop dream come true in the form of I Don’t Dance by DMX, whose fans have been long-awaiting a true comeback from the Yonkers native. Count Bad Boy rising star Machine Gun Kelly as one of the many, a long time die hard fan of Earl Simmons, who recently announced he would be making an appearance on his idol’s new single. Produced by veteran J.R. Rotem, I Don’t Dance is a synth-heavy, up-tempo single which finds DMX discussing the vast differences between him and today’s mainstream rappers, reminding us of his Rap heavyweight status back in the late 90’s. At this time, I Don’t Dance is tentatively slated for inclusion on X’s long-waited comeback album, Undisputed. So will this be the record that begins DMX’s comeback or simply another failed attempt? Only time will tell, but if you’re in the NYC area be sure to check out DMX headlining tonight at SOBs.

Slightly disappointing considering the infinite number of classics X penned, but I'll let this slide so long as still has a handful of classics left in the tank.

Yeah I hold a higher standard of what DMX puts out, and this doesn't cut it.

Damn, I wish X would spit like he did on his first two albums... This beat is terrible for DMX and his flow suffers greatly because of it. Machine Gun Kelly couldn't help this...

Wow ive never read so many haters before. Im going judge the music for what it is not for what i think the artist should sound like. I get sick of hearing "o man he should make his new stuff sound like this." "i miss the old dude". @*#$! it. This song is good for the partying. Mgk kills his verse. Dmx spits some clever bars about being himself X which is Not giving a @*#$! pretty much what i pictured from a collab from these two. I thought it was pretty cool

of course this isn't the best x track of all times...BUT I'm just happy he's back and is still doing his thing. I expected way worse because so many rappers appeared after years and changed their style. x has still his very own created style what's really missing in the past to me. and to be honest mgk is really fitting to the beat. I'm gonna bump this

DMX is back, but this is far from old Dark Man X quality. And MGK should have been one of the last resorts for X as a guest feature for a comeback song.

Completely with Robert! If this is how new-school X is gonna sound I'm not complaining, in fact I'm excited. He still sounds angry as @*#$!, but now to a club beat, so what.

Was about to give this a 3 star but more I listen to it the more I like it. Not really used to hearing this type of a beat with X.
