One random DMX memory I have is from high school. So it had to be 2001 or 2002, after The Great Depression dropped. I was in an elective class called Leadership. Teacher wanted us to pick a song, play it for the class. Of course I picked a Dilated Peoples song on some nerd s---. But this one autistic, Asian kid named Charles (if memory serves), picked “Who We Be” and he actually performed it in front of the class. N words and all, even the hook. Everyone was just flabbergasted and laughing.Jimelej, Ordinary Joel, CavalierTD and 8 others like this. -

"Irv Gotti: When the album came out, he had a legendary show at the Apollo. He tore that s--- down, and he ended with “Prayer,” and started crying. And when he closes with the lines, “So if it takes for me to suffer, for my brother to see the light, give me pain ‘til I die, but please, Lord, treat him right,” and threw up the X with his arms, there was hood n----- and b------s in there crying. Every MFer in the Apollo had the X up with him and they were crying. He was like, “I love y’all n----. I love my n-----.” He’s telling everyone in the audience “I love y’all.” I was on stage behind him, and I was like, god man. That’s DMX, man. Artists don’t have a connection like that. He’s in your heart. He’s in your f---ing heart."

I lost my best friend a few years ago because of fentanyl. . Doctors told us he was a basically a vegetable before passing 2 days later. So this hits a little harder for me. I have no sympathy for d--- dealers who cut with fentanyl.Ordinary Joel, asvdawg, D12Shady and 8 others like this. -

We should all be grateful to have been able to witness the greatness while he was alive. A lot of us are too young to remember Pac & Big.
DMX will never be forgotten. Even 20 years from now. He was and will always be a legend.
Tonight imma have some drinks and listen to some of his greatest songs to celebrate his life.

Why is this taking so long ? If he had no oxygen to the brain for 30 mins it means he has been dead for 3 days. Is his next of kin refusing to unplug him?
Anyway this is very sad. Almost any hip hop fan over 25 has grown up listenin to xmagicobraga, The Lyricvore, Reed Richards and 7 others like this.(This ad goes away when signing up) -

X as real is they get.
How many artists who sold over 74 million records worldwide and been in several movies do you see out in public like this?
DMX is one of the last real ones in the game. Someone who never put on a fake persona and just says it like it is.
Praying he pulls through

First time I heard “Get At Me Dog”, I thought it was the dumbest s--- ever with the dog barking. But as the song kept getting airplay and people were gravitating to it, I too began appreciating it to the point that I bought his debut on cassette. He jump started the Survival of the Illest Def Jam campaign. ‘98 was a great summer and a great overall year for NY Hip Hop outside of the Golden Era. X was pivotal in that movement. Hope he pulls through.Ordinary Joel, DKC, reservoirGod and 7 others like this. -

This is sad. Not sure why he doesn't get mentioned much as a great but could easily be the best ever.
