Rest in Power DMX

[Afro]

Yup but that literally, without fail no matter the family, never happens.

There's always a couple loyal family members that hold the bag for everyone else

Nikka ...what?.....the fuk????

Family being ain't shyt can be it's own thread

I don't wanna go off topic, I'll be bumping DMX all week/weekend long

 

[badboys11]

Either let me fly
Or give me death
Let my soul rest
Take my breath
If I don't fly
I'ma die anyway
I'ma live on
But I'll be gone anyday





Let this man fly. It's time for X to move on to his next journey.

 

[the bossman]

Like his last quote from his interview with Noreaga -- "if I died, today, I lived a good life."
Boomer is waiting for you X. God speed.

Damn man. This shyt is sad but it's true. Breh left his mark on music and the world forever. Still sad to see the nikka go man

How much of his memory/ brain power did he retain?

He recognizes people he knows, he can converse a little bit like if you ask him how he is. He knows to go use the restroom but you have to tell him to shower and brush his teeth. Other than that, he doesn’t know what year, day, month it is, doesn’t know his birthday or how old he is. You have to direct him to do basic things, has bouts of mania, psychosis, and anger. He’s progressed but he’s far from being normal.

The flip side of that is their “consciousness” doesn’t exist anymore so they wouldn’t feel anything. I’d imagine that’s as painless as you can get.

Yea but you the person with consciousness won’t be able to remove that from your being so having to watch them wither away will eat you alive.

A way to rationalize it is like a living corpse. The actual person is long gone, their soul is gone, only their body is alive. It seems like it would be one of those things that you would have to face right away, just due to the emotions of all of it.

Prolonging it could def lead to a host of mental anguish just due to the inability to accept the fact that they are dead, but their body is still functioning. In this society, that just isn't something that you ever have to think about or rationalize with unless it happens to you.

Also, a downside to being vegetative vs brain dead is if you decide to pull the plug, the person basically has to starve and dehydrate to death. What is life man

I legit did not know that at all

very few Rappers were as elite as prime X circa 1998

he'd make the simplest lines sound epic just by his delivery

Think the first time I heard him was his verse on Money Power Respect

I WAS LIKE WHO THIS NIKKA?

[Badmon]

Prayers up to X

 

[⠝⠕⠏⠑]

Don’t pull the plug.

 

[BaggerofTea]

Your electromagnetic energy or "soul" will be in a better place

 

[BK The Great]

I'm legit tearing up listening to this, Money, Power, Respect was the first time I heard DMX too. I remember getting the Get At Me Dog single before X dropped the LP. He had a whole different energy to any one who had come before or since.

 

[King Kai]

Drugs really are the devil brehs. He looked so healthy on that episode laughing and showing off his kids. And just like that it's gone. This shyt is unfair
