    Everything about this video makes me happy. #1) You have a legend in hip hop paying homage to another legend that paved the way for him. I mean X is happy like a kid and that's to be respected cause these new school young cats are arrogant and disrespectful and seem to forget who made it possible for them to spit the garbage they be spitting. #2) by this video having over 25,000 views and not one single thumbs down let's me know there are still some people in this world with sense!

      +Preacha Tim: DMX said he is going to make a come back to music and also do a lot more movies. I can't wait for his comeback because all you here nowadays is Drake is this Drake is that people talk about him like he is some rap legend his music is pure trash man in my opinion just like Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, & Rick Ross I could go on and on. One thing I hate about the rap game at times is that you got rappers like Joe Budden, Young Buck, Ludacris, Scarface, Jadakiss and more that are so underrated in my opinion who work there ass off two put out that real Hip-Hop music but seem to get drafted to the side because all rappers today are all talking about the same shit which is Guns, Cars. Money & women and they all sound they same. It's sad two see what the rap game has become nowadays but on the bright side there are still some legendry rappers still going like Eminem, Dr.Dre, Snoop Dogg, LL Cool J, The Game. Ice Cube, Redman & Method Man, 50 Cent and more. #OLDSKOOLHIPHOP
