DMX + Aaliyah = Hip-Hop & R&B Perfection

Some may not realize it but DMX and Aaliyah's "Back In One Piece" was one of the finest blends of Hip-Hop and R&B ever. Watching them on stage and in video you see the comfort and ease with which they perform together. They compliment each other both in music and in persona. His raw street gruff with her sweet yet street style melds together perfectly in this urban love tale of both the heart and the hood.

They were Bonnie & Clyde or maybe Beauty & The Beast...with a twist. Their love was rough and funky and that's what makes me come back to this song time and time again.
