Another fun fact about DMX was that he was actually quite an accomplished beatbox battler before he became known in the streets as a rapper.. he sounds like he's actually doing the dog barks on "Stop Being Greedy"... pretty impressive track actually. Noticing he does a lot of ill adlibs and sound effects on a number of his tracks.

He did the dog barks himself. He also did the voice of Damien.

RIP to one of the greats
He basically ran rap for a few years starting in '98

Yeah I thought that was him on the dog barks because he was in a lot of interviews talking about how actually he was known around the way as a beatboxer before anyone else. Those barks are vicious.
Him spitting like Damien kind of reminds me of Biggie on "Gimmee the Loot".
On a side note another under-rated beatbox is actually Eminem. On the Slim Shady LP he's doing a whole range of sound effects and adlibs on his own if you pay attention. My all time favorites as far as that goes...
Beatboxing
1. Biz Markie - (obviously nobody beats the Biz)
2. ODB - A lot of great adlibs on Wu tracks and then there's some good pieces on youtube of him beatboxing. Like DMX he was kind of known coming up as a beatbox as well.
3. Eminem - Check out the Slim Shady LP and you will hear him with a range of sounds. Lesser appreciated part of his repertoire. Like for example listen to "Cum On Everybody" and I think he also did the iconic scratch sound for "My Name Is"
4. DMX - the barks on "Stop Being Greedy" are viscous and many interviews of him talking about being known around the way as a beatbox before he got known as a rapper
5. Doug E Fresh - got to give it up to the man who did "Lodi Dodi" probably the most famous beatbox track of all rhyme
6. Rahzel - Not actually a fan of the Roots but a big fan of Bonz Malone and Marc Levin so I watched the movie that starred Black Thought called Brooklyn Babylon and Rahzel did the narration. Incredible beatbox skillz
