"I can't take you through every caper
You ain't know, it's hard to keep blood on a paper
It's always gonna flow and I can't stop them from spilling
Split personalities, more like please stop me from killing
The other one like kill em all, get em all, do it today
And that thing that we usually have, I threw it away
Introduced to a personality, I never knew existed
You think the last one was bad? This nikka is twisted
So that's four souls trapped in one shell
Which means, many more souls trapped in one Hell
Slapped in one cell, but not for long cause SSI
Can test for my, therapy, and I'm back on the streets in less than five
Same fo' nikkas, stopped taking the medication, now I'm laying mo' nikkas
Praying mo' nikkas won't see personality number 3
*Siren noises* That's all it beeps" - DMX
Breh where do you consider x in your best of all time lists. I know you an East coast cat and that's why I'm asking you, just wanna see how highly he was held up there. Pacs my no.1 with x at a 2. This is my personal list, got mad respect for Nas Big and Jay from the east maybe in that order, and ain't mad at anyone that puts any of them in their personal goat. But some of these rappers like Pac and x that are more straightforward with their lyrics get downplayed in their skills.
He may not have been a lyrical miracle rapper but he had a skill of putting words together, a true poet

X is in my top 10. He’s my all time favorite rapper tied with Big.

Big, Jay, Nas, KRS, Cube, G Rap, Rakim, Redman are my top 8 that are never changing. X is in the 9th slot. I always have issues picking who’s number 10. Sometimes it’s Face, sometimes its Ras Kass, LL, Pun, Black Thought, Common, Monch etc

Views From The X
These past few weeks have really brought me closer to God. Made me want to get right with him and develop that relationship like X did

"In this time of spiritual warfare we're comfortable in the middle" I realized spending my time living without clear direction and waffling about my faith and purpose will only keep me stagnant in life

No matter what happens I'm doing whatever I can to stay grounded spiritually and live with a purpose. Living like I only have one more move to make
Good stuff breh. It's never too late or a wrong time/reason to get right with God.

The thing about X and his faith is it shows us a realer side of a man and his spirituality. People have this idea of what a Christian should be like, and a guy like X breaks that mold. It angers alot of religious people, even though Jesus was completely against the idea of religion, and fought against the church.

Everyone should strive to have a close relationship with God just as X did. I'm constantly trying to (re)build mine.

I said earlier in the thread before he passed and I told myself id read every post in here before id post again

x was the first artist I ever truly stanned before "stanning" was a thing

the first forum I ever remember posting on was the dmx sub forum on def jams old site....from there I went to another x board, to allhiphop, to sohh, to the coli :wow:


I was a kid then, I'm now a grown ass man with a family....lifes a fukking trip

I can go on for days abt what his music meant to me or how many times I've seen him perform but this has really been draining...tell your people how you feel abt them in the moment brehs, you might not get another chance :to:

I remember an interview where X was saying Rule and Murder Inc tried to run up in Bloodline records office while X was there with his wife and babies. We never know the true specifics of these ppls relationships

First time ever hearing this. Got any links?
