Is there room in the trap for the Dog?
At a strong 46, DMX thinks he got what it takes to thrive in today’s rap scene. He took to Twitter to ask for some trap productions to be sent to his e-mail in a now deleted tweet.
Although his interest in the Southern-bred genre seems unusual, X is actually King of uncontrolled aggression and persistent ad-libs which are common characteristics of the music genre. But Twitter isn’t having it. Many fans ripped him to shreds in some hilarious tweets below:
@DMX why the fuck would you want trap beats. Man, “Do You”

However some optimists chimed in on the matter:
@glenn_beauty187 @DMX Sooooo Nas has no talent because he rap over a trap beat.. so did Andre 3000, Jadakiss, etc. Real lyricist can rap over any beat. Wise Up?✔️

From the looks of this Instagram post, DMX plans to “take over” 2017. Perhaps he can take over the trap?:
