Music DMX suffers overdose | Passed away

Man, this one hits hard. I've listened to his music a lot.
 
I keep getting mixed up as to which thread I’m in out of the DMX and Philip one and the comments confuse me :lol:

They are going to be forever linked in some weird and mental way. With enough time distortion I can see them becoming the new Tupac & Biggie beef/conspiracy in the year 3,000 or something.
 
My favourite part of today has been my Facebook full of people earlier rejoicing in Philips death because he was “evil” now idolising DMX. Couldn’t make it up.

He was a troubled and arguably deplorable (based on the animal cruelty charges) individual but his music gave a lot of joy to a lot of people.

Oh I’m not denying that, I’m all up for people mourning who they want just makes me laugh that people like to pick and choose what they want to overlook.

Now excuse me whilst I go listen to Party Up on repeat all weekend
 
Shit, just saw the thread title change, sad news. I'd rather TV had a night of DMX programmes than Prince Philip.
 
He’s one of those guys who didn’t even need music, he could just recite something a cappella and you’d get chills. So much passion and energy, but so many demons as well. A sad loss, RIP
 
RIP to a legend :(

Perhaps my favourite rapper of all time when I think of it. His list of hits is huge.
 
So sad that he could not pull through. A true legend of Hip Hop. RIP Earl Simmons.
 
Rest in peace to an absolute legend of the game. So glad he did his Versus so people would give him some flowers before he passed.

This song has grown to my favorite song the last days


I used to play this on repeat when I was younger. I used to proudly be the first DMX fan at school :lol:
 
My favourite artist from the 1990s, so many memories. Getting the DJs to play his songs at Jilly's rock world and the Ritz on a Monday. A man with demons but a man who had a touch of genius RIP.
 
RIP DMX

I have a thousand things i wish i could say, but they dont seem important. I hope you realised i am 1 of millions, that without you as a teenager I wouldnt be who i am now in my 30s.

Thank you for what you gave me.
 
Look thru my eyes, see what I see
Do as I do, be what I be
Walk in my shoes, hurt your feet
Then know why I do dirt in the street
Burning in hell, but don't deserve to be
Got niggas I don't even know that wanna murder me
Just because they've heard of me
And they know that the Dark is for real
The bark is for real, when you see that spark it'll kill
Be popping, robbing and chill, take it over there bark wit' it
From YO to Cali to Baltimore back to New York wit' it
Come through flying, up 129
Up the school street 'cause I come through mine
Bark at my dogs, get at me nigga
Get at me nigga
What the deal is, never forget what real is
The cats that used to say X is the best know he still is
Can't help but feel this, putting goosebumps on your arms
Take you there if you want but I lose chunks with the bomb
The calm before the storm
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and it's getting warm
Feel me yo
Look thru my eyes, see what I see
Do as I do, be what I be
Walk in my shoes, hurt your feet
Then know why I do dirt in the street
Look thru my eyes, see what I see
Do as I do, be what I be
Walk in my shoes, hurt your feet
Then know why I do dirt in the street
I can understand why y'all niggas is scared of me
And why the big dogs never wanted to play fair with me
'Cause I leave blood wherever I go, wherever I flow
Wherever I blow niggas who know I can go, feel me yo
What is it about the Dark that gets niggas where they about to spark
About to bark, take it to the heart 'cause it's real like that
Give him chills, but do I make him feel like that
Shit is real, what you don't know is gon' get ya
With the steel, what you don't know is gon' split ya
I can blaze tracks, make niggas play rats and raise stacks
Payback's a bitch, didn't you used to say that?
Play around in dirt, you get mud
'Cause you know, I can either spread love or shed blood
And bloodshed turns the mud red and real sticky
Or I can hit you from roof, make it a quicky
For real
Look thru my eyes, see what I see
Do as I do, be what I be
Walk in my shoes, hurt your feet
Then know why I do dirt in the street
Look thru my eyes, see what I see
Do as I do, be what I be
Walk in my shoes, hurt your feet
Then know why I do dirt in the street
I bear my soul, niggas wouldn't dare, my role
Give to nigga a heart of gold but with a hole
Lost all control, my shoulders hold a lot of weight
Just like first I'm sold an eight, then told it's not an eight
But then it's out of state, and it's too late for changes to be made
That's what I get for fecking with strangers in the shade
This is it, y'all niggas got to give me a plate
For the same reason that fate, chose to give me the way
Take away hate, now I'm supposed to love the one that cursed me
The one that wouldn't give me a cup of water when I was thirsty
It was always him versus me, but now I gotta teach him
Personal feelings put aside, 'cause now I gotta reach him
What I'd like to do is turn my head, like I don't know him
But it seems like I've been called on to show him
So I'ma show him
And if you never met me, then you've no right to judge me
I've got a good heart but this heart can get ugly
Look thru my eyes, see what I see
Do as I do, be what I be
Walk in my shoes, hurt your feet
Then know why I do dirt in the street
Look thru my eyes, see what I see
Do as I do, be what I be
Walk in my shoes, hurt your feet
Then know why I do dirt in the street
Feel the pain, feel the joy, of a man who was never a boy
For real
