I literally lost all respect for DEHH after that recap. Then again, these the same nikkas that said Will Smith was more lyrical than Rakim.
that's literally when i stopped watching them. People say the most outlandish shyt for views and clicks.

Because regardless of all that, death is forever, and most people prefer things they care about to be hear on earth with them. Not to mention he has like 20 kids who need their father.
Gotta be honest, and it hurts to say this, but if he wakes up right now there's virtually no chance that he will be able to be a father to anyone. If he lives he will probably never be able to walk, talk, or communicate with anyone ever again.

I agree with @Deuterion . It's not way to live, and it's undignified. God forbid a family member of mine is ever in that situation, I hope that I could find the courage to let them go with grace.

I agree. We're human beings breh
No doubt man.

NY all day..Da Stead & BK..
I wrote a piece/post a long ways back about how it felt to me the night Pac died.... like the underdog kept winning despite the odds, no matter how much the world was against him. And hate him or love him... that night the underdog lost. (no pun intended in my use of "underdog")


Despite what people see as far as him being successful, X been fighting his own personal fight since before Get At Me Dog even dropped. X versus his own personal hell, put on public display for all of us to see.

For some reason the weight of it all just hit me. I been watching these threads like everybody else. I even typed up some posts and even a response to @spliz going in on DEHH for their views (not defending them, but Myke hates anybody he thinks is "anti-gay" but will say anything but "I don't think he likes gay people", and while they cornered him on it early on, todays climate means they all gonna tuck tail and agree) but I never hit "reply".


Maybe its cause I was listening to Goodie Mob's "Soul Food" album when I came in the thread. I dunno. But it all hit me.


I.... don't want this to be another case where the underdog loses his lifelong fight in the end. :mjcry:
Myke wasn’t even the one who shytted on IDAHIH. It was the other bald cat I forgot his name. Everyone loved the album but him. But all of em dismissed X’s lyricism. Which was some bullshyt to me. The basically reduced him to some lit rapper.

Sadly no. He's basically only "alive" in quotation marks. He's in a vegetative state, and he's more or less already dead. He's only alive in that he's breathing, but there's no real brain activity. It's very likely they will pull the plug sooner than later. I think the vigil today has mostly been to celebrate his life and prepare the family to make the tough decision.
:mjcry:
After the good news Saturday I thought he was on the road to recovery, damn

I hate to say it but we gotta let the dog go.:mjcry:

Yeah I tried not to think like that but I think you're right

It's so tough to read about him being like that in a hospital bed,he's someone who has always had so much energy

I've been thinking about him non stop since the news first broke and I know his family has to really be going through it

Yes as fans we're in jeopardy of losing a great artist but his kids are gonna lose their father,it's so heartbreaking

If he’s indeed in ICU and not breathing on his own, it’s unfortunately only a matter of time until the other vital organs start shutting down.

And I have a bad feeling that they (whomever it may be...since I imagine there are alotta cooks in the kitchen in this situation) are going to keep him alive longer than they should just for the sake of other interests - attention, assets, estate, false sense of hope, selling the story, etc.

Sucks to hear and I hope I’m wrong about everything I just mentioned, but this kinda shyt is very possible and happens often with prominent people, famous or not.

I ain't no doctor. I ain't no super spiritual or religious person.

Based on what I read, X is gone. I know it's not official, but no brain activity? It sucks he had to go out like this. I hope people take this as another reminder that addiction is real.

Your fans will miss you, Earl. Thank you for all that you gave to rap. Your songs always resonated with me, and you were one of the best freestylers with one of the most unique voices.
