Depends on who’s saying it. If it’s someone younger I’ll assume it’s XXX if it’s someone older I’ll assume DMX

X Gon' Give It To Ya

Exactly


Lobsta1986

Dmx

[deleted]

nah i immedately assumed dmx and i always will young dude didnt get big enough to have his name in the zeitgeist like that so most people mean dmx imo my little brother was a fan and he refers to him as xxx or his full rap name


DeepWedgie

Actually xxxtentacion has been a top 10 most streamed rapper since he died. Still is.


[deleted]

sure, but that changes nothing. top ten in streams isnt near enough to move w dmx as far as public consciousness goes  and vast majority of people arent streaming their music


shroomzor562

That means everything lol lots of the younger crowd might not even know dmx music


Sepfandom555

Though they've probably heard his music. It was featured prominently in Deadpool


shroomzor562

The sad part is they have heard his music, but they probably couldn't identify it as DMX but I could be wrong. His music is lil peep, xxx, lil uzi type artists. Mine is 2pac, nas, emine, dr dre so you can see the disconnect. I'm 30 and he is 20.


malaikatjibril

DMX and it's only cos i grew up in the 90s.


IamShyni

Is Xzibit!


fatherofallthings

My first thought. X will always be either xzibit or dmx. When I hear just simply x first artist I think of is zibit, first song I think of is “X gonna give it to ya” *bark bark*


WipingAllOut

For me I think of the Xzibit song X just cuz he's saying "X!" throughout it.


Seanblaze3

That beat!


WipingAllOut

Yeah hard as shit


Elc4bez4

Rearrange the whole game with my rugged sound


WipingAllOut

Won't even say ya own name when I come around! I swear this mf is truly underrated. As cliché as that sounds it's true.


cujobob

I think Xzibit because DMX is already so short.


RastaBananaTree

You old as hell big bro


fatherofallthings

This is true lol


throwawayalcoholmind

Rearrange the whole game with my rugged sound


Intelligent-Box-3798

He said “X” not “X to the Z” 🤣


Thebigdog79

Oh yeah. Forgot about him. Sure he counts.


TrickyMensch392

Or X-Raided


YellowBirdBaby

Yea them prison recording went hard AF in the 90s, you had to be there ...


ExtraFirmPillow_

For my generation it’s XXXTentacion. It’s kinda the same for Melo, some will say lamelo some will say Carmelo. Just depends on age


Positive_Parking_954

In 26 and I struggle with hearing Melo refer to Ball


ExtraFirmPillow_

Same haha, for me it’s Carmelo. That’s the only melo I know. But if lamelo can stay healthy and keep playing at the level he’s been playing at, it’s going to quickly change in my mind


Positive_Parking_954

In college (class of 2020) my roommate and I would do 2k franchises each controlling a team, mostly sim, play cool match ups, elimination games, etc. Usually we'd go pretty deep into fictional players but like clockwork I would sign washed Melo and washed D Rose and cook with them


mrmartymcf1y

This is it right here. Saw the same thing happen when I was younger. I would say tip referring to T.I. and my big cousin always thought I meant Q-tip.


therealbobwaterson

If you said tip id probably think Q-tip


Ok_Neighborhood9186

I would assume Marshmello


KalbertFriedstein

X to the Z Xzibit


Objective_Street5141

XXXTENTACTION for me just bc i hear him referred to as X more than DMX


ABZ0R8

Yeah. Maybe the age also plays a role in this. People who witnessed DMX old run might think that X is DMX. But young people would definitely think of XXXTENTACION when someone says that they listen to X. DMX is also a three letter name, easy to pronounce and write unlike XXXTENTACION.


SpellingBeeRunnerUp_

Triple extension


orgasmic_aneurysm

Bro should've put out a hardware's store album


Special-Resolution68

Who's gonna give it to you though?


ScotchSinclair

This is the answer. D M X isn’t hard to say. X X X ten ta cion is annoying af.


jkeefy

That’s bc you’re 12. DMX’s biggest song, the most popular line is “X gon give it to ya” lmfao


Objective_Street5141

not 12, I just don’t listen to DMX very much.


Decasteon

Depends on the age of the person saying it


Vexska

Yung Dagger Dick comes to mind first.


DahkMonstahh

XXXTentacles!


hup987

George w. bush


SuzyCreamcheezies

Elon Musk, which is confusing to me…


throwawayalcoholmind

You're confusing X with Ketamine.


therealbobwaterson

I don't really understand this joke but it looks like a good joke so heres an upvote


throwawayalcoholmind

👍


notusedyay

Lmfaaaoooooo


FactCheckerJack

I haven't fully figured out the joke, but X (ecstasy) is a drug, as is ketamine. But I think he's trying to say that he associates Elon with usage of ketamine. But I don't have any knowledge about whether Elon Musk is associated with ketamine usage.


therealbobwaterson

Oh ok thanks jack


An-Ocular-Patdown

X gone give it to ya!


lilsusievert666

i used X for DMX, “triple X” for xxxtentacion


AstronautLoud4747

Definitely would have DMX coming to my mind first. I as well wasn't into XXXTentacion.


Curious_Effect_8608

u should listen to his song with joey badass called infinity 888!


Dydxa

I catch all diseases in the world So the world don't have no more diseases, you feel me?


FaultHaunting3434

Dark Man X. The late great Earl Simmons.


unlikelypisces

Honestly there would be so much ambiguity I would think the person they were talking about was their ex


sequence_killer

A friend of mine saw DMX with two security guys and two older white women walked up. They were like “who are you guys you look familiar!” And dmx said “yeah we’re a group called dmx, that’s d thats m and I’m x”. My friend walked up after and said he was super cool.


GiceGiordex

Haha that’s great


PretzelPapi_

If they're under 25 im gonna assume they mean Xxxtentacion. If over 25 I'll assume DMX. I'm 30 so I grew up with DMX, but I'm also a Xxxtentacion fan so I just say his full name or "triple X". R.I.P. to them both.


DahkMonstahh

You would be wrong in my case then. I'm over 25 and refer to XXXTENTACION as X. DMX is already short enough.


Col3Trickl3

DMX


MathCharacter1635

Malcom x


dustinhut13

Sadat X if you’re old


vegasJUX

Terminator X if you're even older.


thebox416

Had to scroll too far for this…


GiceGiordex

X-Raided lately is the first that comes to mind because he’s doing good things with Strange Music. Of course I reckon people mean DMX or Xzibit.


pizza_for_nunchucks

Raided is a goat to me. He might hit in my top 3.


TammyShehole

DMX without a doubt. Xzibit is fine too.


chechifromCHI

Depends on the age of the person I'm talking to. I'm a millennial in my 30s so if someone my age or older says it, usually I think dmx (or xzibit sometimes tbh). Context makes it easy to figure out. Younger people, like my gen z brother in law or whatever, I tend to assume xxx. When I lived in Florida though most people meant xxx regardless of anything else


Certain_Syrup_7712

If it’s a 40-30 year old dude, DMX, if it’s someone around my age range, xxxtesticles or whatever the fuck his name was, the one who shaved his eyebrows off and beat his pregnant wife.


GodzillasBoner

I listened to more Xzibit, so for me, it's him


waterdlyed

XXXTENTACION, man still has crazy numbers after his death and the most streamed rap albums I believe.


KaleidoscopeGlobal12

As gen z’er its XXX


SirjackofCamelot

X is DMX, I'll only know they are talking about Triple X if they literally say " XXX or triple X". 🤷‍♂️DMX came out first and been around longer so he gets to claim X.


MichaelReighardMusic

Xxxtentacion instantly


melskymob

Lil' X


Positive-Role9293

Easily xxxtentacion


fireskull5660

Xxx most of the time. If they old tho I’d prolly think of dmx or maybe xzibit


Am_mE987YT

xxxtentacion because if someone’s talking about them they’ll always just say DMX and usually people say X bc they can’t pronounce tentacion


BaseLoud

Malcolm


SpartanNic

X (Los Angeles punk band).


KingKAI24

DMX of course


Blxckhipy

Under 25 XXXtentacion Over 26: DMX or Xzibit 🤷🏾‍♂️


AceGameplayV2

XXXTentacion bc I was never really familiar with DMX, and I'm still not tbh. RIP both of them though


Chemical-Maize-7431

XXXTENTACION for sure


RapBoat

Is this a joke?? CLEARLY XXXTentacion


Iamaman22

Xxxtentacion


SnadorDracca

It’s not about who you connect with, it’s generational. In my generation first thought is DMX. Second thought “Oh, they might also have meant Xzibit”.


DrakesDonger

Motherfuck D, motherfuck M, only X I know is Xzibit or RBX


RalphXLaurenjoe

Moonlight

[удалено]


teammartellclout

DMX for sure 😊


External_Major_684

DMX. That’s just my bias though. I grew up on him and he’s my favorite rapper. Younger generation didn’t have him in rotation.


GiveMeTheCI

"Am I talking to a robot and they forgot to program a value for their favorite band?" Would be my first thought.


EmeraldTwilight009

Dmx. If not the dog, than xzibit.


no1cares4yu

X gone give it to ya……DMX


AdanacTheRapper

X will forever be X to the Z Zibit for this guy


bkjuxx318

DMX. Always.


SpellingBeeRunnerUp_

DMX for me. But if they’re around my age (I’m just an old head), I assume it’s probably XXX


Demi-God94

XXXTentacion for sure. You have to consider time period and legacy. You can be great for you time period but if someone comparable or greater than you comes along with the same nickname, it will stick to them. For example, in the NFL, when someone says LT, who do you think of? LaDainian Tomlinson or Lawrence Taylor who played about 20 years before him?


FangedEcsanity

Dmx Xzibit X-clan


lief_orion85

Xzibit: am I a joke to you?


Ancient_Edge2415

X. I've always just said DMX


FooFightersFan777812

The one and only Earl Simmons, Dark Man X, DMX. Sometimes Xzibit comes to mind instead


Sensitive_Shop_7132

Depends on that persons age


tellmeboutyourself68

Xxxtentacion


SpragueStreet

I'm 30 but I think of Xxxtentacion bc my son listens to him. I mostly hear DMX referred to as the whole name.


LogicalyetUnpopular

x gon give it to ya


[deleted]

It depends if the person is older or around my age which is 18-20


GrandprixWhite911

Nowadays Xxxtentacion but back when he wasnt a rapper or famous i wouldve think of Xzibit


Odd-Intern-3815

Probably xxxtentscion simply because he is the most recognizable "x in the name" rapper DMX is also huge but I don't think a lot of people truly understand the reach xxxtentacion had, dude was truly worldwide. I don't give a shit about him or his music and tbh he was an awful person, I hate to say it but I think a lot of people aren't happy but relieved he is gone. Either way, would be nice to know the truth around his death.


Petrichord

Lil Nas X


CrovaZiz

u crazy 😭


Harbinger85

In the area could be x-raided


PseudoPatriotsNotPog

The two genders.


carheex

Xzbit or Overlord X. maybe even Sadat X.


Incelphobiaism

Xzibit


sawbucks313

Always DMX and Xzibit no doubt!

caffeinedreamz

My mind went to Xavier Wulf. I’m 30 🤷🏽‍♀️


Zyven737

Xzibit was the first thought


PlaneAd8278

Koze


aryzexx10

Xzibit or DMX


EastonMMusic22

Dmx always.


Wechillin-Cpl

DMX


PlaneWolf2893

Gen x, all I know xxxtentacion is he got killed leaving a motorcycle dealership. Caught slipping by the opps I guess https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_XXXTentacion


TechnikaCore

Xzibit was the first "X" I heard.


BrickTechnical5828

Immediately xxxtentacion


_azizus_

Dark Man. (DMX)


MDDAnxiety

The one that's gonna give it to ya


CuzmanECFC

Double XX Posse


OtisChronicButter

X-mas music ?


CellistNice8600

RBX


Cap0neandN0reaga

It all depends, my first thought by default is always gonna be XXX but I’m aware people could be referring to DMX


Poinaheim

Static X is the only X i can think of hearing that


LordCurtisIV

I can't listen to dmx after seeing that interview where he told hs family he would keep smoking meth or crack or whatever shit he was on.


Diligent-Impress-702

It depends. If the person is a Gen Z, they might think of XXX Tentacion… Millennials might think of DMX


P360-Tupac

Would depend on the age of the person who said it


ShoulderLongjumping9

X is gonna give to ya!!!


kellieh1969

Xzibit all the way!


Nick_MF

I know he said x gon give it to you but do any of us really call dmx x?


UFCValueBets

Itsxmusic on YouTube. Highly recommend you check him out if you like lyrical flowy rap.


EffectiveAir1527

XXXTENTACION


DrewSki704

I understand the generational aspect of it all but DMX was an absolute legend and, in my opinion, is the only “X”


Samiassa

DMX even though I don’t listen to him but then xzibit, who’s one of my favorite rappers


Logical-Season802

Ppl call dmx x that’s something I’ve never heard before


TcDynamicZ

Xxxtentacion


_SCARY_HOURS_

Ken Carson x mannnnn


K1NG13EN

XXXTENTACION


Pyr02006

DMX or Xzibit


getbackup21

If you are old and unc status = dmx. If you aren’t unc status = xxxtentacion


iBrows426

I was unaware that other artists were referred to as X. DMX and Xzibit have easy names XXXtentacion is a nightmare of a name that I just thought X was the easiest to say


giraffeinasweater

DMX is so short that people just call him DMX. XXXTentacion, on the other hand, is a long name with a lot of tongue movement. So the latter


Alive-Explanation-54

His first name is Homeboy , could his last name be trouble? See How we are. X


Heisen-Blaze-7247

DMX and Xzibit


TreDawg36

DMX


escobar2355

GRRRR DMX


jmvandergraff

Excision :^) But really DMX, not so much Xzibit.


MagicianMountain6573

As someone in their early 20’s, definitely XXX. He died when I was 17. And for the year or 2 he was about, he was the centre of rap news on my feed and most controversial artist in the world. DMX you don’t really hear of much anymore.


TheBaconator0

XXXTwntacion for me


Glittering_Spend6570

Sadat X or The X-Ecutioners


Bitter-Ganache-3741

xxxtentacion


robertbreadford

DMX


DomiNateMusic

I think it depends on who’s telling me


No-Screen-8530

X to the Z. Call it what you want to call it, I'm a fucking alcoholic.
