    Whats so fascinating about DMX is that in our society,drug addicts are so often written off and pushed to the outskirts of society but just in how X carried himself,he’s sitting down GQ. Even with struggles,a Man can still command respect and maintain his legacy. You never heard anybody take a shot at him about it either,not only because he’d eat em up but you just dont disrespect a Man’s Man like that. You may not always be liked in life but to be Respected no matter what is something we all can hope for. RIP DMX 🤎👑

    DMX is one of the most vulnerable artists I've ever heard. Brutal honesty. Even when it doesn't paint him in the best light. 2pac was the only other artist that I think about that was like that. Fears ,pain,joy anger etc. They rapped about life not just a lifestyle. When I see DMX and watch his interviews no matter how grimey or aggressive he comes across he's always sincere. Almost child like at times. Just my observation.

      DMX is one of my favorite MC's of all time glad I grew up in the era. For real though I think I have to go wit party up that's of my favorites.

    “What’s My Name” is one of the hardest beats I’ve ever heard.

      Coming up in the 90's, I had to go back and listen to the instrumental. Def cheesin' right now. I think the instrumental to Blackout off Flesh of my Flesh was one of the hardest for me. It's just so raw. That 'ol Swizz Beatz flavor. They all just completely went off: czcams.com/video/GNAUnVPc_3I/video.html

    X filled that void that was missing in hip hop after Pac passed for me. No he was not a replacement by any means but his lyrical delivery had heart, purity, soul and grit. You didn't just passively listen to X, you felt him.

    Real ish, I don't want to hear happy ish all the time especially when I'm angry. I like to bang some DMX, rage dance and curse loud until I feel better. His music gave us if anything, an outlet. Rest easy and peacefully, we'll keep the speakers bumpin with your music, no doubt 💫
