X Gon' Give It To Ya was released by DMX in 2002, produced by Swizz Beatz, and featured on the soundtrack to the 2003 film Cradle 2 the Grave. Its barked chorus and relentless beat made it one of the rapper's signature tracks, later renewed for a new generation when it soundtracked a key fight sequence in Deadpool in 2016. Online the hook became shorthand for an unstoppable entrance, reused in sports edits, gaming montages, trailers and memes where someone arrives ready for a fight.
