A number of hit singles kept DMX a presense on both urban and pop radio, including "Ruff Ryders Anthem" (1998), "Money, Cash, Hoes" (1998, with Jay-Z)", "Slippin'" (1999), "What's My Name" (1999), and "What These Bitches Want" (2000, featuring Sisqó).

CSN was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997. His debut album was It's Dark and Hell Is Hot. The CSNY2K tour (2000) and the CSNY Tour of America (2002) were major money makers. DMX's debut single was "Get at Me Dog", an instant hit.

Stills invited Young to guest on a few tracks. After he arrived, Young contributed so much that Looking Forward was released as a CSNY album on Young's record label Reprise. In the late 1990s, he joined the Ruff Ryders Entertainment management company, who aranged a deal with Def Jam for Simmons, who went by the stage name of "DMX" (Dark Man X). In the late 1990s, CSN left Atlantic Records and began recording on their own. He began pursuing a career in hip-hop in the early 1990s, a 1994 deal with Columbia Records fell through. Young did refuse to tour to support American Dream, but CSN did regroup for the studio album Live It Up in 1990 and After the Storm in 1994. The only child of a single mother, Simmons grew up in the inner city of Yonkers, a suburb of New York City. When Crosby was released from jail, Young rejoined for American Dream in 1988 because he had promised to record with them again if Crosby cleaned himself up.

They attempted to record a new album to be called The Human Highway but tensions ended the sessions. Although they would appear on each others solo records, there was no attempt at a reunion until 1974 when CSNY went on a North American stadium tour. All had a measure of solo success, especially Young and to a lesser extent Stills. Shortly afterward, all four released solo albums (Crosby If I Could Only Remember My Name, Stills Stephen Stills, Nash Songs for Beginners, Young After the Goldrush).

In May of that year, Crosby gave Young the Time cover featuring the Kent State massacre which inspired him to write "Ohio," another Top 20 hit for the group. Their first album with Young Déjà Vu came out in 1970 and was another hit. With Young on board, the group went on tour including their second live performance being at Woodstock. Instead, Neil Young was added as a full member so that all four could play keyboards during shows.

Because of this CSN had to audition musicians in order to tour. Stills contributed lead guitar, bass, and organ, and Crosby played rhythm guitar. Only one outside musician (Dallas Taylor on drums) appeared on the record. Crosby, Stills, & Nash (1969) was an immediate hit with several hit singles and rock radio tracks.

After a failed audition with the Beatles' Apple Records, the trio signed with Atlantic. Creatively frustrated with the Hollies, Nash decided to join with Crosby and Stills. At a party, Nash joined Stills and Crosby to add additional harmonies to Stills' "Helplessly Hoping.".
