Same as it's always been. A great


O.D doesn't change things especially considering he was already on drugs before he came in the game.


To be honest though. I had no idea DMX was on crack until I heard Suge Knight say it on the radio around 2001


In retrospect, the only way a westcoast dude like Suge would have known such info is if Irv or Ja rule told him.


Because I legit don't remember anyone saying anything about X being on crack before then (in the public)


Someone correct me if I'm wrong tho

Man 2020 and 2021 have been some rough years.

Its surreal to me that Kobe, DMX, and Chadwick are gone, not to mention family members that we have lost. This stuff is insane, man.
losing all 3 sucks but

Chadwick hurt the most

Kobe and X did their thing and solidified their greatness before they bounced

We couldn't even get a Black Panther 2

:mjcry:

I don't have any tats but I think Imma get something that commemorates 2020 - 2021.

So many things have happened and we lost so many people.

underrated catalog and that’s no matter where you rank him.


You’d be hard pressed to off top in a single thought name all of his GREAT songs. (Commercial hits and classics that weren’t)

he was the biggest rap stay in a weird period of entertainment (early early stages of the switch to the internet as a massive worldwide tool).


This is going to sound stupid:

but he’s like the “11th member” of the top 10. Ask people their top 10 of all time and they may not mention him, but if you say “What about DMX” it’s like :ohhh:

On some real shyt, looking back, a lot of street rappers in the late 90s were low-key pissed at X because they thought X took their shine away from them, in songs and in concerts and even parties. X had charisma and his connecrions with Christ and the best analogy with humanity/dogs that other street rappers couldn't connect with people outside of the streets. On top of songs like "Stop being Greedy" that a lot of dudes couldn't do for so many reasons.

Also, X gave back more than any east coast rapper, at a time where everyone on that flossy Puffy/Jay-Z shyt. He made mad rappers look bad and crazy selfish with giving back millions to his hood, being 1000% authentic, connected with Christ, never acting industry, and so on. He made a lot of rappers that used the "I gotta feed my family by every means" and "fukk these nikkas" type excuses look bad.
