10 Soft Songs by Rough Rappers
3) “How’s It Going Down” DMX
Somewhere between the guttural snarls and brash barks lies a song about a love triangle. Boy meets girl. Girls likes boy, but continues to be involved with her child’s father. Through the profanity still resounds a profound passion in an all-too-common tale of wanting what you can’t have. DMX may not have gotten the girl, but playing the role of the raspy-voiced rival did leave females everywhere in heat.
Memorable Line: “Let that ni**a play daddy, make moves with me. I done kept it more than real boo, can’t lose with me.”
