“X-Is Coming”
Here X is in full dog form opening the track with a reworked version of the Nightmare On Elm Street theme music. From there he takes listeners on a journey straight out of horror movie.
In 1998, “gangsta” and “hardcore” rap was still breathing, even after the “Shiny Suit Era” that Puff Daddy helped create. So, rapping about some sick sh*t wasn’t completely out of the question. Which is proven by X’s second verse:
You got yourself in a predicament, that you can’t get out of
You already in some sh*t, but it’s about to get hotter
F*cking with a n*gga like you running your mouth
Will, have that same n*gga like you, gun in your mouth
But won’t be like the last time when you run in the house
Cause I ain’t knocking on the door
I’m coming in the house
And I’m gunning for your spouse, trying to send the bitch back to her maker
And if you got a daughter older then 15, I’ma rape her
Take her on the living room floor, right there in front of you
Then ask you seriously, whatchu wanna do?
Frustrating, isn’t it? When they kill me, but I’ma kill you
Now watch me f*ck just a little while longer, please, will you?
This is revenge, no time before you die
And despite how much I hate to see a grown man cry
I’ma make you suffer,see your ass in Hell,Motherf*cker, click, boom-boom
See your ass in hell
Yeah, X rapped about killing someones wife, raping their daughter and making them watch. In 2016 Action Bronson is getting banned from performing on college campuses for writing songs like “Consensual Rape.” There’s no way X’s word would make it past the lyrics police in this day and age.
