When DMX’s son Exodus showed us all how to play “Ruff Rider’s Anthem” on the piano after he passed away 🕊️ “I love you daddy” ❤️🥹 Via: desi123love DMX’s “Ruff Ryders’ Anthem” is one of the most iconic and energetic records in hip-hop history. Released in 1998 as the lead single from his debut album It’s Dark and H-ll Is Hot, the Swizz Beatz-produced banger became an instant street anthem. That legendary hook “Stop, drop, shut ’em down, open up shop… OOOH!” turned arenas, clubs, and block parties into straight chaos every single time it came on. The track perfectly captured DMX’s raw energy, barking flow, and the entire Ruff Ryders movement. It helped take DMX from underground legend to mainstream superstar and remains a staple at every real hip-hop function over 25 years later. #ripdmx
