okay, i'm wondering if that's the same DMX. it really can't be right? DMX doesn't beatbox.

Pete Nice article is interesting, but shows a complete lack of understanding of the Beasties as a punk band -- which is no sin, but leads to not getting the Beasties at all.

i thought it was common knowledge that that DMX started out as a beatboxer in the '80s and that that was how he got his name. apparently Just-Ice worked with a guy called Human DMX, who was neither that DMX nor Davy DMX, though.

maybe Pete Nice talked a drum machine in that anecdote?
― some dude, Friday, 11 May 2012 12:57 (1 year ago) Permalink
talked TO a drum machine
Wasn't DMX the DJ in Material, among other Laswell projects? Like Herbie Hancock's "Rockit?"

Not to worry, I'm sure knowledge of this sort of thing will become more widespread and valuable in the future, so everything should even out.

I just think it's dumb that 3 different guys named themselves DMX.

But now name me some other rappers named after specific drum machines.

these guys all are (or started out) as human beatboxes, not rappers. that's why they're named after the most common drum machine of the era in which beatboxing flourished.

D-Nice called himself "the TR-808" a lot, Ready Rock C was the "Human Linn Drum" etc etc

so Pete Nice was named after a guy named after a drum machine, IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW

wait, there a d-nice and a pete nice? so confusedd

Also I knew davy dmx but not human dmx
Though I think it's kinda weird for pete nice to drop it in there and have ppl not assume he's talking about DMX....dude had been around for awhile before he blew up, with that born loser stuff, but it's not out of the possibility that a really young dmx and just could have performed together

Edward III, it's ready to get them confused, just remember pete nice was the prime minister of canada at the the time and also rapped in the ny scene, camron and company did a concept album about his life called ”diplomatic immunity”

to be fair it was a Deadspin editor's job to clean this up, not Pete Nice's

Pete Nice probably forged the anecdote like he forges baseball memorabilia amirite

sparked a Davy DMX revival and got schooled on the ways of old bluesmen.
