Dang. His radio edits were the best.

What a legend. Rest in Power.

Flesh of my Flesh, Blood of my Blood was one of the best complete albums I owned.

I hope D was "ready to meet Him." RIP.

RIP. There goes some of my childhood.

Aware I’m making an obvious statement, it’s a weird thing that the older you get, the more people die. An odd part and fact of life.

Sure its obvious, but its still a really wild experience to have happen.

Sad to hear the news. It sounds like financial woes may have played a part: https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-celebrities/richest-rappers/dmx-net-worth/

I'm not a rap fan but no matter what he played, I don't think I would be a fan regardless. Just searched his name and saw 15 kids w/ 5 different women, bankruptcy w/ $1.5 million owed, back child support owed, tax evasion, animal cruelty charges to 15 dogs, 4 arrests in S Carolina since 2013, defaulted on 2 homes and a high rise apt complex, crack addict, gun possession charges, drug charges, etc. Sounds like an outstanding fellow

I bet you're a blast at parties.

Watch Mike Tyson walk out to What's My Name and tell me you don't get pumped.

He also had multiple teeth knocked out by his mother's boyfriends as a young child in addition to struggling with addiction and bipolar as an adult. Try separating art from artists - some find it liberating.

Oh, I overlooked the part about him being an artist and making art. That makes its alright then that he didn't pay multiple banks back for real estate loans, didn't pay his taxes to the government, didn't support 15 (FIFTEEN) innocent kids he fathered and their mothers, and abused dogs. I now think I like his work and hereby issue him an artists pass. I'll gladly now also chip in and pay more taxes to replace his, some child support for him, and make a donation to the Humane Society. I feel liberated now, thanks.

People who make music are oftentimes referred to as "recording artists", glad I could straighten you out on that. As to the rest of your post, yeah he did his fair share of ****** things. Know who else has done ****** things?

Be careful. You might piss off the women and snowflakes that post here.

Wonder if his poor mother could’ve used some child support at some point.

Prayers for the family.

Might also want to mention that at the age of 14 he was taken advantage of by someone he considered a mentor when that so called mentor passed him marijuana laced with crack cocaine.

He was a very troubled guy that made an artwork a lot of people enjoyed. Searching someone’s name at the news of their death to compile a checklist of negatives so you can make a ****** take is weird as hell. 17 you and every geezer that liked your post. Celebrating a man’s failures at his death is a dark way for your brain to work.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Great job with the post mortem **** post. He was a troubled man with a very rough young life but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy his music.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Judging by all the downvotes and replies (peeper), we’ve got some real ******* geezers in here. I don’t even listen to very much rap music but at least have a little dignity to not hate on the man after he’s dead.

 

[paindonthurt_]

So let’s really talk abt the root cause of the problem then dorn. You know the root cause of most problems as it pertains to families in poverty who aren’t “privileged”.

HOME LIFE, but let’s go ahead and destroy that nuclear family!!!!

 

[paindonthurt_]

Can we hate on Hitler since he’s dead?

For the record, I liked DMX but he isn’t someone we should be asking anyone to look up to or idolize.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

I never said anything about idolizing him.
