Dayum! Deep af sister! Jokes aside,what you said is completely true. Plus it's not exactly a good thing to be called 'the next someone' esp someone as important as pac it's more of a poisoned chalice💯. I Have always found dmx to be a lot more influential than he gets credit for
Brilliantly put. Both men stand alone, they are equally seminal to the history of Hip-Hop. Yes they had parallels in their life. The impact they had, the respect and the power in their words. However, both men are so distinct from one another. It's actually a disservice to say X is the new Pac. X was gonna be a legend regardless as was Pac. They were both destined for greatness. Icons of the culture. Their legacies will live on through those of us that love them. As long as I'm alive, I will talk about them in the highest regard. I will forever play their music.
no matter what, I will always love dmx music. I am a metalhead, but when I listen to literally anything else, its either tupac or DMX. hope he finds light and shines in it for the rest of his life
Raijin • Fortnite I absolutely can say that and that is the basis behind it, even when he made music it was good not amazing, he wasn’t like a ja rule or a diddy or anything he was mediocre, sorry I upset you fortnite.....kinda expected though.
Ashley Adcock DMX actually is one of the greatest is he top 10 No but is he top 20 yes I even have in my Top 15 at 11 he up there do to how he change his style over the years and how he change his message over the years as well
You think a "crack head" would have the drive and focus to sell over 75 million records? They purposely ruined his career and image because he didn't play by they're rules
Truth brother truth. my childhood sucked , he helped with lot of my feelings i couldnt express , helped me get outta cali and away from gangs. i honestly didnt think id live passed 25 . im now 35 with 6 kids own a home 4 cars/ 2 are trucks one of which a 07suburban ltz on 22's and a car i wish i had when younger ( a 97 eclipse gs-t) kids are well taken care of and bills payed , no gangs to worrie about with my kids growing up and many other great things that have come from his music changing my life and letting me know there is better. much love x really hope the best for you , we def need you to return.. these mumble rappers outta hand bro..
Mono Lithic I feel you man, the song slipping helped through a dark time in my life and I went on to have a great job, Houses, family, and whips. Kids doing great and wife is good.
DMX is the greatest rapper of all time. I'm a hard Rock heavy metal fan. I just never got into a lot of what was coming from rap artists then DMX happened and he was a whole nother genre.
Daamir Tariq Exactly! That's what i tell people about Pac and biggie are overrated. Cause hadn't they died at the height of their careers, nobody would call them the greatest
But this is why I feel like crowning someone goat so early on in their career isn’t fair. Those artists didn’t the opportunity to even fall off. History shows, most artists do fall off.
Dmx once preformed live at Woodstock and at the time he was the first hip hop artist to preform their! They have videos of it and it was amazing for the fact that no other hip hop artist took the stage and did it as big as him! People thought he would get booed off stage because everyone their were hippies and when people think of Woodstock you think of piece and love not dmx but he took the stage and everyone embrassed him. Just watching the videos of him performing for all those people you can feel the energy.
R.I.P. DMX. Was such a big part of my teenage years. His music got me threw so many hard times and helped me keep going. Thank U X. May u rest in peace my brotha
DMX ain't cool with Damien no more, that was his main plug to super stardom. He decided to keep his soul at the end of the bargain, so they took the spot light away and was black listed.
Thank u, thank u 4 realizing this, this statement couldn't b more true, I applaud u as a X fan, & more importantly being a real 1 to actually hear X's subliminal cries 4 help against his demons on various tracks through out all of his albums, God Bless Earl & u as well Mr. Comentor !
I'm just gonna say this now. In terms of his MUSIC career, nothing happened to DMX at all. He never fell ff. He made 6 albums, five of which debuted at no 1 and went platinum of multiple times platinum. The 6th debuted at no 2 and went platinum if i'm correct.

It's just that his childhood was so messed up, and the fact that one of his family members laced a blunt with crack and gave it to him has led to his addictions and the downfall of DMX the man.
My opinion of course only an opinion JZ is a lyrical genius but I don’t think his style and flow matched it it’s a shame what happened to D for real. But he still the man in my book
DMX was is and still will always be the greatest. That dude was the epitome of masculinity. Gay Z was always jealous of niggaz that was doing better than him. Nas was better than Gay Z as well.
@courtesy55 can be both, i think feeling is first, where a lot of my live for dmx comes in. But also content where a lot of jay z comes into play. Add in i grew up on jay z, and have changed as his music changed. That being said, dmx is in every gym playlist i have haha.

DMX is one of my favorite artists of all time. I hated to see him fall. This is a sick channel. Thanks for doing this for us, dude . You are a badass commentator.
Slippin is UNDERRATED!! That song helped me through SOOOO MUCH!! All his songs bump. I know we were bumpin DMX in my clubbin days. I love to him hear him talk, it sounds like he's growling....
DMX is probably the only rapper I ever listened to where he had me convinced he had actually done/committed everything he rapped about. He was scary as well as deep and poetically beautiful. I think he could’ve been the next PAC.
Great poem there to kick it off by DMX... I wish he didn't get caught in that trap that set for successful black people. You got to have a firm head set to overcome these struggles. Keep your head up DMX!
Don-one Shellinz he's a crack head. That and bad managers is what fucked him up. Not some plan to keep the black man down.he had fuckin millions and fucked it away. I love DMX but his life has been fucked my mental illness, drugs, demons, people and himself. Not some entity placing barriers in his way.
bobdigi88 he made music that preached Christ, that is when the industry messed him up. Member Kat Williams? He put out the industry and became crazy. Member Kayne West a Christian? He vanished for a month or so while the press claimed he was sick then he fell off.
DMX IS ONLY RAPPER I WILL TEAR UP WHEN I HEAR ABOUT...AND I GET SO EXCITED WHEN I STARTED HEARING HIM ON RADIO AGAIN. HE DEF DONT GET RESPECT THAT HE DESERVES...AS FOR JAY...HES GRIMEY AF AND COULD BE REASON. BC DMX NEVER GAVE UP EVEN BEING A CRACKHEAD ALL THEM YEARS. GE WAS ON DR.PHIL AND HE MADE ME LAUGH SO DAMN HARD AND CRY...I WAS IN EARLY 20S IN EARLY 2000s..BOUGHT ALL HOS CDs. BUT I HOPED DR WOULD HELP HIM. HE ALWAYS SAID LORDS PRAYER B4 STARTING....WHAT OTHER RAPPER YOU KNOW DO THAT?!. HE DESERVES HOMAGE FR. LOVE THAT MAN AND ALWAYS BE WAITING ON HIS ASS TOO.
Ali Algaraawi Same...he be type I bet be cool down to earth ...you could smoke or drink a beer with. Def doesnt get respect he deserves. Just listening takes me back to my prime. Sucks to see what happened. Ill wait though...hes worth it!!
I love DMX. He sounds so aggressive even when in normal conversation 😂 but in all seriousness he is definitely one of the best in his era of hip hop and even though he has has a hard time with the system he is always going to be a legend.
Wow he said I'm not a industry artist .. I'm a artist in the industry .. that's powerful.. but some people will never understand what he meant by that.
The Crack Pipe KILLED DMX!!! DMX himself will tell you that!!! Thanks DMX for signing an Autograph for me last year when you where in Rehab last year in New Hampshire at the local McDonald's when my Step Son & I recognize you God Bless you in your Recovery ❣️
Crack is a hella drug that will take all and not give any thing back I went down hill the same time he did with it naw I'm in a drug rehabilitation program naw from it all but we live and we learn
He’s a perfect metaphor of many blacks who don’t have a clue how to invest their money. He burned up his money and he could have had a great life and retirement. Too much drugs broke his wallet. What a childish immature decision to make.
Was just at his concert on 6/21/19...20 year tour still going hard with all his energy. When he preach everyone listens, when he prays everyone bows heads
Ok so here's the deal. I grew up in the era when DMX started dropping these albums. Back then we didn't social media and all that stuff that is giving a crap load of exposure to artists. We depended on actually buying albums with saved up money or most depended on parents/guardians purchasing it for us. Artists really depended on actual talent to be promoted. Most of his singles that didn't make it to the very top was due to this. With all the technology and access we have (internet/phones/downloads/online purchases), artists are exposed like crazy. That was not the case early 2000's. Some of the singles that make it to the very top aren't even that good. Most are promoted by young viewers that help artists make it big. It's all about access to your viewers that helps you get big.
I remember being 8 and seeing DMX's "Stop Being Greedy" play on "The Box", a music video request channel back on Analog TV. Will Smith was my only exposure to hip-hop before that point.
DMX could make you feel the full range of human emotion without ever having to be soft or tender about it. Not that he couldnt or shouldnt do that, but the fact that he could move me to tears while growling says a lot about how good his writing is.
Can’t deny the talent of DMX!! Regardless of all the struggles he had, he was so talented, real, unique, and a fearless child of God. I’m happy we are celebrating him now that he’s passed, I just wish he was here to see all the love. He just needed the right people around him. Rest well, DMX, you did your thing. His music lives on ❌
Some people are just born to have a harder time in this life than others. He was one of those, but he never pretended to be something he wasn’t. History will remember him far more favorably than the way he was treated towards the end
Just shows no matter what you are struggling with in life. As long as you don't give up then you will fall into a bit of success. DMX wasn't a stage clown like most music artist are. He made music that you always remember
DMX was a staple in my childhood during the 2000s man. My mom played Party Up and Stop Being Greedy a lot lol. Sad that addiction doesn't discriminate no matter HOW much worldwide popularity you have
Slippin’ is a classic! Make you sit and think deeply 😌 I get chills when someone talks about DMX’s talent. Tortured mind and soul though 😔 all the best usually are 😔
Who knows if anyone was around that saw this, but I remember DMX being in Chicago for a block party back in 96-98. I was a lil kid and I remember him putting me on his shoulder while he was performing. One of my favorite childhood memories
Yes he did Fuck Snoop Dogg bitch ass you got some to do with Tupac’s death and he turned his back on him that’s a bitch move that snoop did so fuck him I don’t like him no more
TDefinitely snoop is a fucking sellout and he has something to do with Tupac Passing and I believe it I’m a look it up on RUclips it’s all there it’s Fax
First and foremost THANK YOU so much! I've always loved DMX and his music played a huge part of my life growing up. I've had some real tough times in life and struggle with heart problems to this day having gone through 3 procedures so I haven't been following all the things like I used to like music. When I saw this I was like "Damn! I need to know what happened to this icon" and while I watched it I just prayed for him to be well at the end. I'll be praying for him to get out of this situation but above all for his health, god help him to leave all that behind no matter where he is at. Again, thank you sooooo much for your hard work, know that this means a lot at least 4 me. I pray for everyone's health and well being. Only a person who's been and is still going through serious health issues like me knows that health is the true wealth. I'm grateful just for feeling well and being able to go to work and get home without struggling with anxiety, irregular heartbeats, difficulty breathing, etc. Cherish the smallest and simplest things in life. I don't have everything I want but I love and I'm grateful for everything I have.
I hate when they belittle a man with so much to give to the world and yet the world hate them.....This man is a blessing to this world and he will always be a blessing keep your head up and keep it moving because you are never alone......
I agree. Even post mortem they are exploiting him and cashing in on his brand. Everybody wants a piece of him. Sad to say, they took advantage of him. Because of his addictions and drug issues, gold digging women and fake friends were able to leach on to him. If it wasn't for all of those mental and emotional issues along with the childhood trauma, DMX would have never allowed people to take advantage of him. He would have still been with his wife and family because he never would have hurt Tashera if he was in his right mind.
Actual Mc I never even saw a tape of that back in the day man! Guy that introduced me to it had it on CD and he almost got got for that. I did have the “Get At Me Dog” single that they show in this video though.
Rai Gresham yeah I lucked up on it,because the guy who sold it to me,was selling CANIBUS VS RZA also & I had to choose between them both, and I only had $8.00 on me at the time, and I asked him to hold it for me until next week,when I got paid & next week came and he had sold out all of the copies & I never saw it again until recently on a mixtape website!!!!
It wasn't just the hood supporting X, unless by the hood, you mean poor people in general haha :0D DMX was for the hood, from the hood, but was definitely heard and loved outside of the hood. This man can light a fire under anybody's ass, and get them up. He's troubled? Who isn't? If you're real, your mind will be troubled from what you've been through. I love DMX. He's real as fuck, and you don't have to be where he's from to know he's legit.
Pray for this brother he needs it. All the legal troubles are waiting him down not to mention his battle with drugs hope he finds peace and happiness he deserves it we all have our cross to Cary it's up to us how heavy it becomes whatever does not kill us makes us stronger.
X is a legend still musically he can make positive and negative and moderate songs like a pro which makes him top five material as well as him with his rhyme prayers and spellbound styles
Thank you for recognizing his purpose but explaining his struggles. Many times people struggle just to wash their bodies, eat, or maintain other usual obligations... He persevered and became world renouned while battling things people lose to. It's admirable
I wanna hear one more X album completely sober and focused he deserves one last go at glory it's DMX he sold out Woodstock in 1999 by himself he had so many hits dude is one of few guys from the 90's we genuinely care about. It's sad he got on drugs and fell off but he can get back on cause I think X deserves a 2nd chance no guy can get you hype, make you sad, make you think and inspire you in the same album he's amazing. He was a gangster that had prayers on his albums come on now give this guy another shot. If X gets his life together I'll get be here for it I hope he gets to smell the roses while he's here so we don't have dick ride him when he's dead wishing we appreciated him more fuck that celebrate him while he here.
Judge not; less you be judged first. X got me closer to god and I pray he feels how much collective love is really out there from the real that recognize. I did judge mofos that made fun of DMX and judged him as less than human, or a crack head clown and still do. Those mofos are still pointing the finga, probably at Kanye now, and still ain't got shit, or a personality for that matter. Wangsters are too dumb to recognize how such a little guy from the gutter of NYC where CREAM was the motto and shots rang a lot more than now because because the rent was too damn high and people with families were desperate. Dude pretty much raised himself in that jungle and created the poetry, art, therapy, and CREAM that is remarkable and a mark of genius. I don't care if he smokes crack he still on Mt. RUSHMORE of Real Hip Hop with Pac, Big, and Face. Haters need to find something else to do and maybe the collective love can ring though and bring em back to unleash the beast within. Face still lays it down and although their styles are nothing alike; I would love to see that tour.
Dmx is not the new 2 pac ...DMX is the first DMX🐐
Dayum! Deep af sister! Jokes aside,what you said is completely true. Plus it's not exactly a good thing to be called 'the next someone' esp someone as important as pac it's more of a poisoned chalice💯. I Have always found dmx to be a lot more influential than he gets credit for
Well said gal
Brilliantly put. Both men stand alone, they are equally seminal to the history of Hip-Hop. Yes they had parallels in their life. The impact they had, the respect and the power in their words.
However, both men are so distinct from one another. It's actually a disservice to say X is the new Pac. X was gonna be a legend regardless as was Pac.
They were both destined for greatness. Icons of the culture. Their legacies will live on through those of us that love them. As long as I'm alive, I will talk about them in the highest regard. I will forever play their music.

DMX died today April 9 2021
DMX is probably the only rapper I ever listened to where he had me convinced he had actually done/committed everything he rapped about. He was scary as well as deep and poetically beautiful. I think he could’ve been the next PAC.
Dmx is dmx, pac is pac. They are two of their own kind/ the greatest. There will NEVER be a pac or dmx..
Steven Cheverez facts don’t know why people keep saying he could’ve been the next pac like dmx ain’t a legend that can hold his own dafuq
Dmx more real
To me
Quake stay with the quality content. This channel deserves more subs.
Damn, I'm afraid that DMX won't be around for much longer... he's a legend.
Kevin Contreras we all might b gone so ssshhhiiit
RIP X 1970-2021 🙏🏾
It's dark and hell is hot is in top 5 best rap albums
.... Of all time 💯 🐐
100%
@@johnnydrama8709 Today, I met this cat; his name is Damien. he thinks we’re both a lot alike and he wants to be my friend
Jonathan Gonzales You mean like Chucky?
Great poem there to kick it off by DMX... I wish he didn't get caught in that trap that set for successful black people. You got to have a firm head set to overcome these struggles.
Keep your head up DMX!
Don-one Shellinz the industry corrupted him because he turned to Christ
Don-one Shellinz he's a crack head. That and bad managers is what fucked him up. Not some plan to keep the black man down.he had fuckin millions and fucked it away. I love DMX but his life has been fucked my mental illness, drugs, demons, people and himself. Not some entity placing barriers in his way.
bobdigi88 he made music that preached Christ, that is when the industry messed him up. Member Kat Williams? He put out the industry and became crazy. Member Kayne West a Christian? He vanished for a month or so while the press claimed he was sick then he fell off.
Visionary Sequel yeah the industry hate Christians lol. I have a bridge for sale if you're interested?
bobdigi88 I don't see nothing funny about it. No thanks I'll have my Trump wall block you from migrating over your bridge.
DMX IS ONLY RAPPER I WILL TEAR UP WHEN I HEAR ABOUT...AND I GET SO EXCITED WHEN I STARTED HEARING HIM ON RADIO AGAIN. HE DEF DONT GET RESPECT THAT HE DESERVES...AS FOR JAY...HES GRIMEY AF AND COULD BE REASON. BC DMX NEVER GAVE UP EVEN BEING A CRACKHEAD ALL THEM YEARS. GE WAS ON DR.PHIL AND HE MADE ME LAUGH SO DAMN HARD AND CRY...I WAS IN EARLY 20S IN EARLY 2000s..BOUGHT ALL HOS CDs. BUT I HOPED DR WOULD HELP HIM. HE ALWAYS SAID LORDS PRAYER B4 STARTING....WHAT OTHER RAPPER YOU KNOW DO THAT?!. HE DESERVES HOMAGE FR. LOVE THAT MAN AND ALWAYS BE WAITING ON HIS ASS TOO.
Loveless 78 yh man i wish i could meet him
Ali Algaraawi Same...he be type I bet be cool down to earth ...you could smoke or drink a beer with. Def doesnt get respect he deserves. Just listening takes me back to my prime. Sucks to see what happened. Ill wait though...hes worth it!!
DMX is the bar to which I gauge other rappers...
His wordplay and ability to emotionally touch his audience is incomparable...
💯👈🏽
I love DMX. He sounds so aggressive even when in normal conversation 😂 but in all seriousness he is definitely one of the best in his era of hip hop and even though he has has a hard time with the system he is always going to be a legend.
Positive Talks With Tee Tee I remember when ruff ryders came out. I think that was my senior year in high school. Everyone was bumping that shit!!!
Wow he said I'm not a industry artist .. I'm a artist in the industry .. that's powerful.. but some people will never understand what he meant by that.
care to explain ?
Fuck that!
What's your gram Shawty?
David T. U went smack bruh bruh
Lmao
@@zoomforlife what he meant is he's not a sellout that's the gist of it
Jay-Z is afraid of DMX's lyrical content... Jay-Z can't battle rap DMX.. Hands down!!
And an addict from such a young age too...my heart goes out to him .......
God bless. Love. Respect.
I stop everything when I see you post new content!
RIP The G DMX gone but not forgotten.
The Crack Pipe KILLED DMX!!! DMX himself will tell you that!!!
Thanks DMX for signing an Autograph for me last year when you where in Rehab last year in New Hampshire at the local McDonald's when my Step Son & I recognize you
God Bless you in your Recovery ❣️
Crack is a hell of a drug.
Crack is a hella drug that will take all and not give any thing back I went down hill the same time he did with it naw I'm in a drug rehabilitation program naw from it all but we live and we learn
@@tomtinkersrezlife278 'We live and learn' Nah, doesn't work with crack mate, you should've known
The elite killed dmx lol
Drugs were being done by all
Quake my man, coming with that quality content again.. Damn! That's how Ruff Ryders roll!
DMX will be missed RIP Legend.
Get at me dog was #1 in NYC...couldn't stop hearing it everywhere you went.
Drugs we all seen behind the music dmx had a tuff life
The industry can break you down too
Slump Sosa his documentary is serious
He’s a perfect metaphor of many blacks who don’t have a clue how to invest their money. He burned up his money and he could have had a great life and retirement. Too much drugs broke his wallet. What a childish immature decision to make.
Slump Sosa i bet there's more to it
It's more than just simply that. But it is that too.
Was just at his concert on 6/21/19...20 year tour still going hard with all his energy. When he preach everyone listens, when he prays everyone bows heads
Amen
Amen🙏🙏🙏
Love this guy!! One of my most fav rappers of all time. It sucks that drugs messed up his career. Excellent video, Quake!!
Ok so here's the deal. I grew up in the era when DMX started dropping these albums. Back then we didn't social media and all that stuff that is giving a crap load of exposure to artists. We depended on actually buying albums with saved up money or most depended on parents/guardians purchasing it for us. Artists really depended on actual talent to be promoted. Most of his singles that didn't make it to the very top was due to this.
With all the technology and access we have (internet/phones/downloads/online purchases), artists are exposed like crazy. That was not the case early 2000's. Some of the singles that make it to the very top aren't even that good. Most are promoted by young viewers that help artists make it big. It's all about access to your viewers that helps you get big.
Magazines promoted or vibe .. other ways radio and print
I remember being 8 and seeing DMX's "Stop Being Greedy" play on "The Box", a music video request channel back on Analog TV. Will Smith was my only exposure to hip-hop before that point.
Wow. I remember The Box too. That was a great TV channel. Back in 95 or so.
DARK MAN X is always and will be the best legend ......
Dog man Xavier
Too many DMX songs underrated and did not get the credit he or his singles deserved!
DMX could make you feel the full range of human emotion without ever having to be soft or tender about it. Not that he couldnt or shouldnt do that, but the fact that he could move me to tears while growling says a lot about how good his writing is.
His music was amazing and I cant forget him as Buns on Belly. Classic film with him and Nas
let's be honest now....That movie was shit.
dmx top 5.. . easy.... Lord give me a sign was lit
DXL
Beautiful song
for real Nothing else bit that track
EXTREMELY POWERFUL SONG
Can’t deny the talent of DMX!! Regardless of all the struggles he had, he was so talented, real, unique, and a fearless child of God. I’m happy we are celebrating him now that he’s passed, I just wish he was here to see all the love. He just needed the right people around him. Rest well, DMX, you did your thing. His music lives on ❌
Some people are just born to have a harder time in this life than others. He was one of those, but he never pretended to be something he wasn’t. History will remember him far more favorably than the way he was treated towards the end
Liked before I watched cos I know quake don't disappoint
truth
Just shows no matter what you are struggling with in life. As long as you don't give up then you will fall into a bit of success.
DMX wasn't a stage clown like most music artist are. He made music that you always remember
I'm a dmx fan. I hope he comes back
@Clarence Gilbert Sadly, DMX has passed away on April 2021. May he rest in power. 💔🙏🙏🏾🎤😔
Protect This Man.
Amazing how someone you never met could speak to you the way he did hope he regains his title
DMX was a staple in my childhood during the 2000s man. My mom played Party Up and Stop Being Greedy a lot lol. Sad that addiction doesn't discriminate no matter HOW much worldwide popularity you have
Slippin’ is a classic! Make you sit and think deeply 😌 I get chills when someone talks about DMX’s talent. Tortured mind and soul though 😔 all the best usually are 😔
also i think the death of Aaliyah hit him hard ...
Jānis Mivreniks did he even have a relationship with her?
they where friends and well if u already are battling whit drugs and a friend dies thats not helping ...
Jānis Mivreniks yes it did
Right
SMDH......really no
Who knows if anyone was around that saw this, but I remember DMX being in Chicago for a block party back in 96-98. I was a lil kid and I remember him putting me on his shoulder while he was performing. One of my favorite childhood memories
DMX is my top 5 Greatest Rapper Of All Time
him and Reggie dont get enough credit
Can you do the beef between Snoop Dogg and death Row records because that was a very publicize beef between him and Death row
Q Smooth snoop a sell out period
Yes he did Fuck Snoop Dogg bitch ass you got some to do with Tupac’s death and he turned his back on him that’s a bitch move that snoop did so fuck him I don’t like him no more
lmfao we got some dumbasses over here
@@ItzAkela lmao thats when kids start listening to rap 😂
TDefinitely snoop is a fucking sellout and he has something to do with Tupac Passing and I believe it I’m a look it up on RUclips it’s all there it’s Fax
When will people realise music is like fine wine ... it gets better with age
First and foremost THANK YOU so much! I've always loved DMX and his music played a huge part of my life growing up.
I've had some real tough times in life and struggle with heart problems to this day having gone through 3 procedures so I haven't been following all the things like I used to like music.
When I saw this I was like "Damn! I need to know what happened to this icon" and while I watched it I just prayed for him to be well at the end. I'll be praying for him to get out of this
situation but above all for his health, god help him to leave all that behind no matter where he is at. Again, thank you sooooo much for your hard work, know that this means a lot at least 4 me.
I pray for everyone's health and well being. Only a person who's been and is still going through serious health issues like me knows that health is the true wealth. I'm grateful just for feeling well and being able to go to work and get home without struggling with anxiety, irregular heartbeats, difficulty breathing, etc. Cherish the smallest and simplest things in life. I don't have everything I want but I love and I'm grateful for everything I have.
Johnny Tang Beautifully put.
Haider Mirza Thank you, I wish you good health above everything else. Please take good care.
2pac and dmx would be crazy they the same vibe
ReJay YT nah I don’t believe that bullshit
ReJay YT where u there Did you know them personally don’t spout bullshit you heard
Sean Taylor look it up you offended little bitch
Pac was ok but biggie had him fadded pac kinda boring
You can’t compare him to pac , he’s his own spectacular! They just ruined him in the media
I hate when they belittle a man with so much to give to the world and yet the world hate them.....This man is a blessing to this world and he will always be a blessing keep your head up and keep it moving because you are never alone......
I agree. Even post mortem they are exploiting him and cashing in on his brand. Everybody wants a piece of him. Sad to say, they took advantage of him. Because of his addictions and drug issues, gold digging women and fake friends were able to leach on to him. If it wasn't for all of those mental and emotional issues along with the childhood trauma, DMX would have never allowed people to take advantage of him. He would have still been with his wife and family because he never would have hurt Tashera if he was in his right mind.
So many failed singles,but his albums were always a hit.
RIP DMX 🙏🏽
You'll never be forgotten.
Man, I still believe X is one of the kings of hip hop. I pray he finds inner peace and put out some more great music. He has a story...❤❤❤
DMX much love man and God bless you, God loves you
DMX will always be a bad ass rapper
Rip DMX had to come back and watch this again
Man those DMX Vs. Canibus mixtapes were the ISH on the JCSU campus back in 98.
Rai Gresham I still got my cassette tape of Canibus vs DMX mixtape, and still plays perfect!!!!!
Actual Mc I never even saw a tape of that back in the day man! Guy that introduced me to it had it on CD and he almost got got for that. I did have the “Get At Me Dog” single that they show in this video though.
Rai Gresham yeah I lucked up on it,because the guy who sold it to me,was selling CANIBUS VS RZA also & I had to choose between them both, and I only had $8.00 on me at the time, and I asked him to hold it for me until next week,when I got paid & next week came and he had sold out all of the copies & I never saw it again until recently on a mixtape website!!!!
Yeah,both were and still pure savage
Actual Mc what! I need to hear that shit
The reason his singles weren't charting high is because it was just the hood supporting him (mostly).
Orielsy Diaz 💯💯💯
It wasn't just the hood supporting X, unless by the hood, you mean poor people in general haha :0D
DMX was for the hood, from the hood, but was definitely heard and loved outside of the hood.
This man can light a fire under anybody's ass, and get them up.
He's troubled? Who isn't? If you're real, your mind will be troubled from what you've been through. I love DMX. He's real as fuck, and you don't have to be where he's from to know he's legit.
Oh man! Good times! Still remember when I bought “And then was X” as a teenager ❤️
DMX does bring a "RARE" energy (nothing else quite like it...).
Pray for this brother he needs it. All the legal troubles are waiting him down not to mention his battle with drugs hope he finds peace and happiness he deserves it we all have our cross to Cary it's up to us how heavy it becomes whatever does not kill us makes us stronger.
Rest in peace soldier god bless you in heaven
DMX.....the grand champ...will always be next to Tupac in my book...
He’s no Ja Rule!!
X is a legend still musically he can make positive and negative and moderate songs like a pro which makes him top five material as well as him with his rhyme prayers and spellbound styles
Thank you for recognizing his purpose but explaining his struggles. Many times people struggle just to wash their bodies, eat, or maintain other usual obligations... He persevered and became world renouned while battling things people lose to. It's admirable
Still in my top 3...Belly is one of my favorite movies. His style could never be duplicated.
This one of those vids that u hit the like b4 u watch. Facts.
B-More Brown every time!
B-More Brown exactly what I did! 💯
factual
Much love for X. This guy is a fighter man, and I certainly love him as a person and his music too. God bless you man. You will win the war!!!
I wanna hear one more X album completely sober and focused he deserves one last go at glory it's DMX he sold out Woodstock in 1999 by himself he had so many hits dude is one of few guys from the 90's we genuinely care about. It's sad he got on drugs and fell off but he can get back on cause I think X deserves a 2nd chance no guy can get you hype, make you sad, make you think and inspire you in the same album he's amazing. He was a gangster that had prayers on his albums come on now give this guy another shot. If X gets his life together I'll get be here for it I hope he gets to smell the roses while he's here so we don't have dick ride him when he's dead wishing we appreciated him more fuck that celebrate him while he here.
Lol, on drugs, what? He is a devout Christian.
Judge not; less you be judged first. X got me closer to god and I pray he feels how much collective love is really out there from the real that recognize. I did judge mofos that made fun of DMX and judged him as less than human, or a crack head clown and still do. Those mofos are still pointing the finga, probably at Kanye now, and still ain't got shit, or a personality for that matter. Wangsters are too dumb to recognize how such a little guy from the gutter of NYC where CREAM was the motto and shots rang a lot more than now because because the rent was too damn high and people with families were desperate. Dude pretty much raised himself in that jungle and created the poetry, art, therapy, and CREAM that is remarkable and a mark of genius. I don't care if he smokes crack he still on Mt. RUSHMORE of Real Hip Hop with Pac, Big, and Face. Haters need to find something else to do and maybe the collective love can ring though and bring em back to unleash the beast within. Face still lays it down and although their styles are nothing alike; I would love to see that tour.
Dam brother this made me cry
