Rest in Peace DMX April 9th, 2021

[MaxBundles]

homie has lived such a hard life

Damn smh this my 1st time hearing him explain how he got into drugs. That's fukked up. Plus some people have the type of addictive personality that makes it hard for em to kick habits

 

[SteelCitySoldier]

It was more about you harping on the “don’t do drugs” mantra. Yes, you shouldn’t do drugs, but who did DMX have guiding him like you do for your kids?

Whats wrong with saying that folks should use this as an example of why not to do drugs? shyt with him being in the news as he is now, this could be used a teachable moment for anyone. There could be a teenage child who is reading this right now and see folks saying it and they could be being taught right now just by being on the coli.

That's why there are folks like myself in here saying these things because it.might reach someone.

Nobody is in here down talking X, we're just giving our response on a forum. shyt doesn't change all the music he put out, how he was the one who single handedly moved hip hop from the shinny suit Era and back to the grimey shyt. X is a muthafukin legend and should be used as an example of what can happen when you abuse drugs AND get fukked over by a person who you completely trusted.

X is a legend and nobody is slandering him or his legacy, it's just an open where all posters are going post what they feel should be said

Can y’all take this Nancy Reagan, just say no shyt to another thread?

shyt ain’t solving nothing nor contributing to the well wishes and memories of X

 

[REAL6]

Don't know if anyone posted this,:

 

[R.U.L.E.]

Dmx told us about how he got his shyt laced way back when. Surprised this is ‘new’ news to people.

this news has fukked with my appetite all weekend. Hopping for a miracle on resurrection Sunday

Prayers out to X. I remember watching The Box and seeing Get At Me Dog for the first time. The video & song were so raw and energetic.

In a truly “brain dead/minimal brain function” situation, it’s only base functions and everything is kind of a reflex. The nervous system still works but there isn’t a person to give an output.

Pain technically isn’t a real thing but we feel it. It’s our brain saying “hey stop that! It could possible damage my vehicle” or “I’m going to eject some fuel from my vehicle, here’s a warning for all of the vehicle’s systems.”

Think of “brain dead” as having a computer without an OS or maybe there’s a missing BIOS. Like you hear the computer fan running but that’s about it. Who we are is stored in the tissues of our brains, the CPU/motherboard/RAM/Memory all that combined. When the tissues of the brain are starved of oxygen, those tissue die and all that data is lost. What’s left of the brain and nervous system can only do whatever functions it still has the remaining data to do.

There may be the infrastructure for the input/output to run the process that we feel as pain but there’s no program linking it all together.

I mentioned reflex earlier because you may stimulate a possibly “brain dead” person and they may move, but that doesn’t mean they are what we would consider alive. I don’t want to traumatize anyone, so I won’t post videos, but a good way to better understand the concept is looking up “agonal breathing”. The person is gone, but the brain/nervous system’s base emergency programming tells it to go into survival protocol anyways. If you get knocked out you can do a form of agonal breathing and respond to pain stimuli to help you avoid further damage until you wake up. We see fighters looking like they’re having seizures (limbs stuck mid movement) and gasping for air because their brains went into survival mode, to protect itself and avoid further damage, because of the sudden oxygen supply deficit. This is like a stand-by mode or quick shut down, even though their brain fukks itself over by stiffening the body. This also happens when there is a traumatic brain injury like a hard hit. It’s why you might also sometimes see people, who have been hit incredibly hard or shot in the head, with torn ligaments/broken bones in their lowering extremities. It’s because of that shut down combined with either the resulting sudden relaxation or locking up of the body.

Sorry for the roundabout explanation

Yep, this is what I was saying.

I hope his family takes the advice of the professionals and let’s him pass peacefully soon. His consciousness has already moved on.

 

[Why-Fi]

pulling for the brother, but I have to say sometimes these "overdose" narratives don't sound right at all

edit: just read it was a heart attack. at any rate, fukked up news

 

[NYChase718]

Reminds me of the woodstock performance

 

[Smitty Belafonte]

Didn’t know X has 15 kids.

 

[Dwight Howard]

Can y’all take this Nancy Reagan, just say no shyt to another thread?

shyt ain’t solving nothing nor contributing to the well wishes and memories of X

So you're asking people to ignore reality cause it makes you feel better. FOH. Truth is the truth

What are you even talking about? Harping on telling your kids to say no doesn’t change the situation with DMX...the situation and life this thread is discussing

 

[DoubleClutch]

DMX faith in God is likely the only thing keeping him alive over the years

 

[SunZoo]

Not even sad or worried.

X is gon be aight regardless, that’s just a body, his essence is timeless, especially given what he put down as an MC.

So bang his shyt, hope for a good outcome however it plays out but don’t twist your stomach up, try not to be hurt, just give that nikka his just due, something we should have BEEN doing.
