What I do know is that 4,3,2,1 is surely the song that made everyone who wasn't familiar say "whoa, who is this DMX dude????" and that lead to the build up of his album and single....AND it launched Canibus and that whole beef, which was really the most talked about thing from the song.
"Get at me dog" has surely aged like soda, as many DMX solo songs have done. I'd much rather hear "Niggas done started something" today. "Stop being greedy" and that whole synth-orchestra sound sounds hella old as well now.

....early 2000s synth Hip Hop has aged like milk. I didn't like a lot of what was popping then but wow how a grip of that stuff has really aged horribly. A lot of those songs sound cheesy as hell.

is if they were working at the label at the time and feel like someone dropped the ball on them, or they had the opportunity to work the dmx joint but went with ll instead and are still pissy because of their bad career choice, so instead they'll just blame it on the label which helps their ongoing argument that labels are bullshit because of payola and buying their own records which by this account takes it back to 97 which means they've been right all along, even if these stupid lessonheads don't give them the respect they deserve.

Same thing Puff did with Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz's "Deja Vu (Uptown Baby)". It was out in late '97 and he jacked the beat for a LOX song (that didn't make the album but was released as a promo single). "Deja Vu (Uptown Baby)" didn't get a video until spring '98:
"Get At Me Dog" had to be out in '97 because that helped with the DMX mania that was brewing. He had features on everything leading up to It's Dark & Hell Is Hot (Mase, LOX, Onyx, Cam'ron, Ice Cube, Eightball, LL, Jigga).

the freestyle was out in like sept. 1997.
the record was defintely recorded in 1997 and may have dropped to the streets on a clue in very late 97.... but again, video and radio play that took it to the next level was spring 98.
and thank you for making that point about puffy and the hitmen jacking other producers samples...
