Where The Hood At?
"Where the Hood At?" is a song by American rapper DMX, released as the lead single from his 2003 studio album ''Grand Champ''. AllMusic stated "The anthemic lead single, 'Where the Hood At,' is precisely modeled after previous DMX rallying calls like 'Ruff Ryder Anthem,' 'What's My Name?,' and 'Who We Be.'" Release Production The song was recorded in a studio in Chicago. DMX's close friend Kato was also there while DMX was recording it. When DMX first heard the beat, he immediately came up with the lyrics for what would later be the first line of the chorus for the song, which also became the title of the song. The clean version does not have the third verse, unlike the explicit version. The producers for the song were the music creation team Tuneheadz. Recorded in 2003, it was one of the first singles to be available as a digital download via Amazon.com. The song samples "I'll Play the Blues for You" by Albert King. That song was originally sampled by Big Daddy Kane for the s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
