What category of "Rapper" does DMX fall under??

[- BE -]

I had to really think about this, he kinda had his own lane to me that nobody can take

DMX =
Don't Give A Fuck Rapper
Put Some Feelin' Into It Rapper

 

[Stew]

Ive never put him in a category. Just thought he was a great rapper at one time. smh

Id also say that TI and Em have surpassed there category labels, the rest are on point.

 

[c.b.b.]

I'd say a Street Rapper

 

[Like Water]

I'd say he's mainly a gangsta rapper. But it wasn't beyond him to put consciousness in his music too. The way he did it though was what made him unique to me. Remember "Look Thru My Eyes"?

 

[Disciplined InSight]

Co-sign H20 Gates. He's a hardcore street rapper sprinkled with a little consciousness and spiritual.

 

[Kame]

He was basically wherever you put Pac........ except he may have been technically better lyrically at one point

 

[H-Rap 180]

Interesting.

Rappers always get labeled, I guess its easier for people to feel attached to their music that way..or categorize them based on the type of fan you are.

10 Examples

T.I. = Trap-rapper

Emenim = Pop rapper

Kid Cudi = Emo rapper

Flo-Rida = Party rapper

E-40 = Game-spit rapper

Styles P = Gangsta rapper

Cassidy = Punchline rapperBrotha Lynch = Shock rapperTalib Kweli = Conscious rapper

M.F. Doom = Underground rapper

Of course their are many more plus with the politically-conscious, backpack, street-science and a myriad of others but you get the point.

​

So I know DMX is somewhat of a hybird, but maybe you can define/categorize his musical style, image, and flavor with what stands out most when you listen to his music.
