Rest in Peace DMX April 9th, 2021

[JDH]

Let a dog roam and he'll find his way home
Home of the brave, my home is a cage
And yo, I'm a slave til my home is the grave

Hopefully in a better place

Summer 2019 I was coming home from work and X was with his sister, manager and a couple of other people on the block just chilling.

Dude was very cordial and all that. Telling mad jokes and shyt and taking pics. Seemed like he was just happy getting that love and there weren’t even that many people around because it was late.

He was looking healthy and just vibing out on the block. 50 year old is too damn young, even for a breh like X who came up hard.

For all of us NYC heads who were lil brehs back in the 90s y’all know how the city felt when that Ruff Ryder era kicked off. Get At Me Dog was just some different shyt and X literally had next after he showed out with Mase and them on 24 Hours To Life.

Rest easy, man

Found this story about X on Reddit

“This’ll probably get lost, but I have a DMX story.

One cold stormy night as a pasty white teen I was driving my shytty Corolla down the highway and my tire blew. I was able to get into a gas station but my jack wasn’t in the trunk. I tried to borrow one off the station, but they said they didn’t have one.

Out of the dark and storm drives this massive black SUV, bass blasting. This guy hops out the back, sees my tire, and comes over to ask if I need help. I explained my story and he immediately went to look for his jack. Turns out it was a rental and didn’t have one, but he offered his phone so I could call home (the station wouldn’t let me use theirs).

The lady that got out of the drivers seat said I must feel lucky, DMX helping me out like this. My face must have looked stupid because she asked “You know who DMX is, right?” I had no clue.

They went into the store, bought their stuff. DMX offered to wait with me, but my mom was close by.

So off they drove into the night. I always meant to look up his music, but to this day I don’t think I’ve ever heard anything.

I will never forget the kindness this man showed to some random kid at 2am in a gas station lot. I know it shouldn’t matter, but his fame makes it mean that much more to me.

I hope you can find peace, friend. Whatever else you had going in your life, when I was at one of my lowest your kindness meant so much.”

Requotiong this just so that more people can read it.

This one really hurts man.

Rest Well to The Icon

Kendrick been off the radar he dont be on social media like that. He the type that will send his condolences directly to the family.

At the end of the day people mourn their own way

Nah I feel that it just stood out to me. I’m not saying they have to be on there.

Mannnnn, them DMX & Mase collabos were everything to me as a kid.

I loved Mase & DMX & to have them together on a track was like Christmas day for me

"Take what's yours" & "24 hours to live"

Who cares what they think or don’t

X was loved by millions

Fam. I’m confused how that one thing I said got nikkas all bent out of shape. It just stood out to me it’s no big deal.

What’s My Name is straight up chain snatching music

Probably my favorite DMX song next to How’s It Goin Down.

24 Hours To Live

X a legend.
