DMX - "Party Up (Up in Here)"

[Live Your Life]

This was released as a single from 1999's ...And Then There Was X. It is his biggest song to date, peaking at #8 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and #27 on the Hot 100. The Hot 100 peak doesn't reflect this song popularity at all. He's obviously had better songs, but that hook is undeniable.

This one never gets old. Still his best! Iconic.

[♛ The Manticore ☯]

A fun party anthem. I still listen to it here and there.

[Ezekiel 23:20–21]

Loved this back in the day. I only use the Jonathan Peters remix of this.

Despite the overplay back in the day, this is my favorite DMX song.  Always heard it on B96 and WGCI back in 2000.  Even the sound effects used in the radio edit/video version are great.

over the years this has gotten worse for me

[B-Boy]

This song stayed on the radio when it was out. It’s a timeless party record.

Absolute classic. RIP.

Anyone see The King of Queens episodes featuring this track? Oh, Doug Heffernan.

Anyhow, RIP, DMX. It's a real shame that people with these issues cannot lock their demons away with a thrown-away key.

#262 on Billboard's 500 Greatest Pop Songs

You Know What It Is: The sound of the Swizz Beatz-produced alarm clock inside DMX’s head going off, letting the entire world know that it’s officially on up in here, up in here.

These Words: Lord help you if you’re anywhere near a group of drunk white folks when X starts adding up the factors that make you no match for him: “You wack, you twisted, your girl’s a ho/ You’re broke, the kid ain’t yours, AND EVERYBODY KNOW….”

Sign ‘o’ the Times: Can’t get much more 2000 than the Shaq-led Lakers, drowning themselves in champagne following their championship victory over the Indiana Pacers bellowing the chorus to “Party Up” in the Staples Center locker room.
