I don't find it funny breh I find it infuriating, I got the day off and ended up jumping on the liquor as soon as I hear the news. Am a former addict myself but ain't one of those that just swicthed to sober life, Only gave up the drugs, giving up the liquor will come later but this should be a wake up call for me cause in my heart I truly believe X was clean from the drugs now but was still drinking.

There’s no way you’re older that 25 thinking the only way to mourn is to make a social media post

When I heard 4,3,2,1 and everyone was focused on LL ripping Canibus a new one, I always remember not knowing about DMX and him stealing the show for me. Copped the Get At Me Dog single off one listen. It's hard to remember the last rapper that hit that fast that soon. I'm not even sure it's possible. Now you need 12 mixtapes and a bunch of hits before you drop your debut. He was a meteor.
Ruff Ryders in 98-01 in NYC, really in the Bronx and Yonkers, you had to be there. Hov is my favorite rapper, but nobody was doing it like X. You almost knew where someone was from based on whether they liked X or Hov more in the city. You couldn't avoid Ruff Ryders on their bikes and ATV's all up and down the Cross Bronx, Saw Mill, Bronx River, Deegan. Sounds trivial in hindsight, but I swear, after what we dealt with in terms of Big and Pac dying and then all the shiny suit stuff that followed, DMX to us was confirmation that the East was gonna be fine. Yeah we had Mase, Jay-Z, Wu, Lil Kim, Foxy, Nas, etc., but when X blew up the way he did, it was different. I don't think there was one album more borrowed from your homie than It's Dark And Hell Is Hot.
What was wild is that as big as DMX was, there's a lot of stories of people who would happen to run into X in the most random of places. My brother once ran into X at a pizzeria by the Wakefield station on the 2. He told me X was there, by himself, just enjoying a slice, like that was his regular hangout spot, wild approachable. Matter of fact, go to local barber shops, pizzerias, salons, jewelry spots, and you might see an autographed picture of DMX somewhere cuz he always pulled up somewhere and showed love. He was the every man, which is why for as much as we love Jay-Z, we adored X. When X got arrested or went to jail or was just dealing with shyt, it hurt us as fans. He had that kind of connection, to where if you saw DMX somewhere and he looked happy, YOU were genuinely happy for him.
Wherever they're doing a public remembrance, I'll try to be there. He was that important to Yonkers. He was that important to the North Bronx. He was that important to NY. He IS Yonkers. That late '90s era has some of the happiest times of my life and he was constantly played during that time. I wish he knew how much he deserved the love he received from millions around the world. Like I said earlier, it's his turn. He's at peace now. I hope his kids and his loved ones find solace in knowing he's not suffering anymore.
