Is it coincidence that once dmx buzz died down, ruff ruderz did too... most definitely dmx should of been comp’ed, its called privileged treatment. Its real when u earn it. When u serve a purpose, u get that treatment, its earned.! Plus, since when do u know anybody to do anything for free in this world. He helped put ruff ryderz on the map!

    For me DMX is what HipHop is all about cause its a way to express ones struggles and pain through story telling so that it can bring change to the one's who listen to it and make you think. N so that people can relate to it on all levels and educate the mind. The man had a lonely, sad and hard childhood and life overall. But as X the man says " There is a gift in every and bad situation you just got to be strong enough and willing to look for it'' DMX is the dude that though his music and just him being real can make the hardest thug cry cause he been there he know how it is day to day it's a constant struggle so that's how he can touch the toughest soul there is out there. DMX always reminds me of PAC they both wrote poetry before they wrote lyrics. You the Goat X ain't no body done what you did always cheering for you man and hoping for a speedy recovery GOD BLESS.
