DMX - World’s Greatest
Artist: DMX
Featuring: D-Block , Swizz Beatz , Drag-On
Producer:
Album: Past Present Future
Label: Seven Arts Music/Universal
Last week, Ruff Ryders finally made their official return to the game with Past Present Future, the imprint’s first compilation album since 2005’s The Redemption Vol. 4. After a six-year hiatus, do they still have that spark? On this newly-leaked standout cut, DMX and company set out to answer that very question, demonstrating that, whether together or apart, they’re still some of the World’s Greatest purveyors of urban music. With an unknown beatsmith’s whip-ready, organ-laced production as their backdrop, X trades aggressive bars with longtime colleagues Drag-On and Swizz Beatz as well as recent Double R signee Murda Mook. As if the in-house talent weren’t enough, the labelmates receive guest assistance from a three-pack of fellow Northeastern greats; Sheek Louch, Styles P and Jadakiss of The LOX contribute gritty guest 16s throughout the record. Time to weigh in, Booth readers: have the Ryders succeeded in recapturing that old magic? Then you won’t want to miss the rest of the bangers in store on their fifth full-length, available in stores and online as of November 21.

Its GREAT to hear the Double R crew back together again making new music (specifically DMX, who has wasted a good 6 years of his life not making music), but this doesn't hold a candle to their late 90's/early 00's stuff. Fair to compare? Yes, with the same crew cast.

This beat is really bumpin by Swizz. Styles P went in HARD on this beat. DRAG-ON ripped this too. Sounds like he never lost a step (last mixtape was dope too). Sheek & Jadakiss did their thing too. This is a BANGER for me...good to hear the old team back together. DMX is almost all the way back...a few more tweaks...

After six years, they have to find a new direction because they've lost there way. This track is the perfect example of that. They need time to find themselves again as artists, as The Ruff Ryders.
