Sad for his kids and fam. Always hoped X would defeat addiction somehow, and get rid of it completely (fukk alcohol and any kind of smoke), going from rock bottom to living a peaceful healthy life, addiction is a bytch

Man I saw this and my heart sunk man, I know X got a bunch of kids scattered all over but I feel it for the younger ones especially.
I can see the pain in his eyes but also calmness that comes from being around loving family.

Found this story about X on Reddit
https://www.reddit.com/r/Music/comm...urce=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
“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.”

Can’t believe yall back to the blame game.
I’ve already said majority of this shyt in an earlier post but here I go again...
You don’t know the facts.
You don’t know what he overdosed on, for all you know it could have been prescription drugs.
We don’t know what triggered him to overdose...He could have been told some fukked up news or been dealing with some mad shyt.
He was a recovering addict, it’s never smooth sailing unfortunately.
He had several bumps in his journey, once you hit rehab it doesn’t mean you’re going to free of drugs and alcohol abuse for ever.
Yall can sit there blaming Nore etc but reality is X was a grown man, he didn’t have to give in to drinking and smoking with Nore...As I said it he was an addict so obviously it’s not as black and white as that, and the temptation was likely greater for him than it would be for me and you.
No doubt there was situations and people around him that didn’t help or take into consideration his ongoing battle, I don’t even dispute that.
Hindsight is 20/20.
X seem like the kind of man that gonna do what he wants anyway, no matter if you discourage or tell him no.
If he wants to do it he gonna go ahead regardless.
What we should take away from this is how we in society view and treat people with addictions.
We as people are quick to judge, we’re all guilty of judging someone who is addicted to drugs and/or alcohol.
Without fully understanding and appreciating how hard it is for someone to break that cycle and stay clean.
More needs to be done to support those with addictions, from early interventions to on going support programmes...Instead of demonising and criminalising them.
Let the man rest in peace, playing the blame game is futile and doesn’t help anybody.
He was troubled and I hope he’s now at peace.

Did DMX smoke weed? I never seen him promote any strains or talk about weed like that.

Damn that Snoop DMX Verzuz was so beautiful. I ain't really get to peep it like that before but you can tell even to Snoop, DMX wasn't just an amazing rapper and artist, but he was clearly an amazing soul who he wanted to see fight through his struggles. Like during the Slippin part, it felt like Snoop was telling DMX himself to keep picking himself up.
