Yeah, its interesting cause you can find 30 different live performances of Slippin and not a single one he does the 3rd verse, its only completely uncensored on the advance copy of the album and a re-recorded version of the song 3:16


Just wow. Censor the cuss words, but not that. Something so honest. I get it. Impressionable youth could get into crack...or really steer away from it because of the content of the song.

Great find Sol.

This DMX news in general has hurt me me as a casual fan. Felt busy in general this week. Crib is a mess, gotta clean it.

I'm not going to get into his music deeper just yet. I knew some of it. The hits, features, videos, 90s work - which when I learned of made me happy he dropped wax then.

It's nothing compared to what his fans are going through. Or Ruff Ridaz mc crew. In Arizona I saw 3 different groups of like 7 bikers all rocking Ruff Ridaz in Dec 2019.

That and two big dudes wearing the same white Double R Tee in a club.

I made a post about it here.

It made me think how relevant they still are. That logo is powerful.

I thought Eve was crew? I never saw her post anything of DMX yet.

Its censored on all the dirty/explicit versions of the release including the promo vinyls.

Listening to it, he probably never said it, just implied what it was, and it's not censored out. Because in the second verse on the uncensored one, he talks about doing coke. So I don't see the purpose of letting him say coke and blocking out saying rock.

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

Alot of what you said is true.

Personally I have a strong belief in God.

I will say I feel some of the churches views on sex are backwards. Some are right. I don't go to church tho.

But alot of people claim the devil on things that's not evil. And turn a blind eye to true evil.

Devil tricked the world he never existed.
In my life, what I've seen. The devil isn't Satanism, books, or Satan shoes. Or rap, or heavy metal, or sex (to a degree) ,or not attending church. That's the trick. Where ppl waste energy condemning. What I've seen the devil really is, is:
Crack cocaine
Meth
Heroin
Alcohol
Procrastination
Obesity
Home wrecking families and cheating on lovers
Neglecting kids
Abusing kids
Classism
Racism
Nepotism
Evil cops with power
Evil school teachers
Bullies
Drunk Drivers
Thieves
Liars
The 7 sins
Lack of vision
Lack of life purple etc
The criminally insane
Bad vibe people



What God is to me in reality is:
Truths - all sciences
Anatomy
Nature
The beautiful Animal Kingdom
Loving relationships
Family love if you have it
Books
Music
Learning
Art
Work
Responsibility
Health
Dope moments
Inspiration
Loyalty
Friendship
Pleasant dreams
Premonitions
Great leadership
Good vibe people

Modern prophets like Bob Marley, John Lennon, Martin Luther King, etc

He had a heart attack. He's brain dead becuz he wasn't getting blood to his brain for a long time. Basically living is him on life support in perpetuity. Do you think he would want to live like that? Would you?


No but at least he would be alive still. There's people who live like that and don't take life for granted.

I understand the Optimism from the last couple of Pages but the Diagnosis pretty much reminded me of what happened to My Mom last year when My Fam told me she suffered Brain Damage from hitting her head on a Fall and was Unresponsive to the Medication that was given to Her,My Sis had to make THAT Decision in The End

Its Depressing and a few days ago Midwin Charles(MSNBC Analyst for the non Political Junkies among us)suddenly passed as well,just being around sooo much Death can be mentally consuming...Ill drop my lil X Fan Story later but I wanted to just let that off for now,at least in The End X(as well as My Mom,Kob',T'Challa etc) led a Full Life

religion was something his grandmom instilled in him before he had a wife and kids, if you've followed X you realize how important she was to him

i wouldnt call myself religious but i also will never fault anyone who chooses to be....you need to fall back and chill breh
