SATURDAY THROWBACK VIDEO: DMX - HOW’S IT GOIN’ DOWN?
Saturday, October 14, 2006
Say what you want to say about DMX, but you can’t deny the man gave us some good music. His debut album, It’s Dark and Hell Is Hot, was one of his best albums to date. The classic summer jam, How’s It Goin’ Down was an instant hit for him. 1998 was the year and I remember everyone blasting this song that summer. BBQ’s, pool parties, this was the fucking jam (and still is)..
Look out for Eve, Irv Gotti, and Ja Rule at the end of the video..

Now to all the ladies in CL, ya’ll remember how sexy this brother was right? I used to feen for for his body,lips and touch…I was a crazy teen at the time lol. Anywho, i have to say that cocaine is REALLY a hell of a drug! Look at what it’s done to him physically,mentally and emotionally…

Love this video!…This is definitely his best song…(Don’t like the version played in the video tho with Faith or whoever that is singin)…This video was sooo simple yet everyone loved it but the song was/is actually hot so he didn’t have to rely on all the crazy imagery and shit like that unlike some of 06’s artists….*Sighs*…

That was the Shiznit. I remeber because that was the start of my Senior year in high school. I didn’t know that DMX had a drug problem. Even JaRule and his clan looks good.

Yeah 1998 was my senior yr too. I remember really feeling for him in this video. Besides Renee by the Lost Boyz and Your All I Need by Meth and Mary, this was one of the ultimate ghetto love songs.

HELL YEAH….I love these throw backs!!! This is the year after I graduated and I was SO in love with DMX back then…hell…every girl was in love with DMX back then, he was so sexy and this song was the shit!!! I especially loved it because I can remember dressing like that girl in the video especially when they were on the beach @ night and she was wearing that black corset top with the white shorts and the black and white shoes… THAT was MY style back then LOL!!! Damn this video took me back!!
32.
PLEEZE!!!
Saturday, October 14, 2006 /
@ Tianna #10 I co-sign that. Hype doesn’t make hot as ghetto videos like this anymore and music doesn’t feel like this AT ALL anymore…I wonder if it will ever feel like this again!!!

Eve looks so much better since her jaw surgery that she don’t think people recognize that she had…but dammit, it was necessary and she looks so much better..sorry to say, but she use to look ape-like to me. She looks so much better now that some of the squareness has been taken out of her jawline and it’s been softened and rounded. She looks great now.. Go EVE!

Real talk- This was my shit. The song and video were so authentic to NY summers. It was just some real hood shit. I remember thinking that the only thing missing was a cameo from Faith who absolutey
ly killed the hook. This was when Dark Man X was relevant. Damn how things change!
