If his brain doesn't function correctly then he ain't alive. Your mind has to be active to be alive

God gives you free will, yes some people have harder lives than others. DMX also lived a great life. Unfortunately when you're called to come home it's not dying peacefully in your sleep. If you look back at the versuz and hear the things Snoop was saying to him and all the positive things the fans said after it, some people would say that was God showing him that he was genuinely loved and made an impact on people's lives.
He lived a hard life with enjoyable times/moments. Has nothing to do with an invisible man in the sky created by humans thousands of years ago to keep em from killing each other. Man I wish the US educational system would seriously improve

this why you keep ya mouth shut until you hear proof from close family. And give even then give a minute to confirm . Lame ass muthafukkas wanna be first with the bad news fukk em all. They dont love X forreal
It’s shyt like this why I was in a small minority of ppl who were happy that a month passed before the passing of DOOM was announced and that there wasn’t any real details, it’s gross to me the way media and some fans act like they have a right to information or that their wishes should trump those of the family.

Not to start any shyt on here but I can’t believe how after everything that’s happened in his life he still believed in god and all that and now this has happened people are praying and all that shyt like it’s gonna help. Even if god was real, he supposedly let this happen so why would he make a miracle and being X back like nothing happened? Like X hasn’t had enough bullshyt to deal with his entire life, god had to “test” him one more time? Bullshyt. Mods delete this post if you need to but god freaks don’t come at me with any bullshyt I just had to say it.

I read what you said. You could be an anthiest. I don't know. I believe in God very differently. Especially from the common popular "why didn't God Save him?" Argument.

Fact is DMX was heavily blessed - performing in front of a crowd at Woodstock much bigger that Christ saw in his life - but Dmx saw it in his life is nothing short of a blessing.

To me at 39 God revolves around love, vision, work, moments, blessings, small and major. I'm all for God, straight up!
Bless.

At this point I don't even know what to say anymore,it's so heartbreaking

I have to say salute to everybody in this thread,this is why I love the coli,the way we are all coming together and sharing stories about how DMX impacted our lives and just appreciating a great artist and person is wonderful

It's been really sad thinking about him in that hospital bed but this thread has helped me

Big respect. That's a big reason why I love a certain aspect of The Coli as well.

anybody getting 2Pac vibes when DMX is fighting for his life in the hospital? it's somewhat uncanny

there's gonna be rappers saying that X is gonna be alright and will make a few records about it like Big said 2Pac was gonna do

Yeah man. Was exactly the same with Pac minus all the bullshyt on social media.

X will be just fine

What you gotta understand is for a lot of people who have been dealt that shyt hand at life, believing in god is about feeling as though someone loves them. That unconditional love that is supposed to come from a parent. When you live believing that no one in the world loves you, you feel like you aren’t worth anything. So people “find god” because no matter what they do, right or wrong, no matter what they have been through” no matter how hard they fall, “god loves them”. God is their “father”. He will always be there when no one else will.

it’s a coping mechanism for life’s bullshyt.

X's wife and kids love(d) him for sure. If he believed in himself and the people who truly loved him (not the enabling maggot "homies" around him) he wouldn't have needed fake ass smallminded religion. Find yourself, find inner peace, apologize to the people you hurt, come to terms with everyone and everything that's important in your life, realize drugs are poison and destroy your life and the lives around you, meditate and seek professional help if needed, that's what matters. Not wasting time on prayers and invisible figures in the sky

:mjcry:

I don't really know what to say... it's too early for RIP, but I'm pretty much out of hope on this one. This fukking sucks.

I wouldn't even say X was one of my favorites or anything, but I never missed an album, saw him at the Cypress Hill smoke out in 2003 in the rain and he seemed sort of ever present to me. Dude could get me hype as fukk or make me wanna cry... I never really expected I'd be this broken up over the idea of him not being here anymore. I've seen a lot of rappers die in a bunch of different ways since my love of Hip-hop began, but this one feels way different. I really don't want him to go, but having him stay the way he is now feels almost as bad...

This fukking sucks.

That's your belief, don't shyt on others because they don't agree with you.

Was just listening to the uncensored version of Slippin and it occurred to me once the third verse started that while the curse words aren’t edited out they still chose to censor one part of the song, and it made me wonder if maybe things would have been different if the people around him were more concerned about him getting the help he needed and less concerned about the public finding out about what kind of addiction he struggled with. If that stigma and shame wasn't associated with his open secret and he was able to talk about it openly maybe he would have felt comfortable or confident enough to seek treatment earlier in his career. When you look at that song it’s his most open and personal song he had released at that point and the line that really gives insight to the causation of the chaos that he would become mixed up in is censored smh. And if you track it throughout the rest of his career it’s always been this known secret that’s kinda whispered about but never directly addressed and he never really sought professional help for that particular demon until it was mandated by the courts. I dunno, I guess I’m just “what iffing” and shyt but the line and it remaining censored on the explicit version just had me thinking about that.
