Party Up in here is one of my all time fave rap songs.

Still was a very funny scene. Grandmother reading the CD cover: "Shake.. ya.. ass. How interesting, is he Morrocan?"
 
guy was a drug addict tax cheat who throughout his life got sent to jail multiple times, got done for resisting arrest, animal cruelty, reckless driving, unlicensed driving, drug possession, weapons offenses, identity falsification, aggravated assault and owed hundreds of thousands of dollars in unpaid child support to his 15 children.

Not perfect but imagine how shitty you’d have to be to talk down someone with a substance addiction.

not perfect? am i supposed to feel sorry for what was a basically a POS career criminal because he sang a couple of songs?

OP said he hopes X gives it to god, and if you believe in that sort of thing, fine. but if you do believe in that you cant honestly think people like him end up in heaven.

Heaven gained another angel.
 
DMX was the epitome of the kind of artist who was massive in the US but failed to translate that level of success and visibility overseas. The sort of artist you read about topping the Billboard charts again and again and selling millions of records but they seldom threatened to break local charts. I think he was most recognised here for his involvement in those early 00s Silver/Bartkowiak actioners (which I still have a soft spot for) and various soundtrack appearances during that period of time.

DMX Alleged Overdose And Story Of Addiction

Rapper DMX is in the hospital after a heart attack and alleged overdose. His struggle with addiction shows a history of Crack Cocaine abuse.
www.addictioncenter.com www.addictioncenter.com

"Simmons has reported that he has struggled with an addiction to Crack Cocaine. The drug is created by dissolving powdered Cocaine with water and ammonia or baking soda. Crack is typically smoked, giving the user an almost immediate high as it enters the bloodstream through the lungs. As with many other drugs that are purchased on the street, other drugs can be combined with Crack, sometimes without the user’s knowledge.
The emergence of Crack began in the 1980s and flooded the streets as an inexpensive alternative for Cocaine. The powerful drug greatly impacted urban and Black communities throughout the 80s and 90s, leading to mass incarceration and a pointed finger at those who were struggling with addiction."
 
His relationship to animals certainly seems complex.

There's stuff like this on his wiki:

"When he was 14, Simmons began living on the streets of Yonkers to escape his mother's abuse, sleeping in Salvation Army clothing bins, and eventually found comfort in befriending stray dogs that walked the streets at night. "

"He turned to robbery as a way to get out of poverty: his first was a purse snatch in Yonkers that netted him $1,000, which he used to buy a new leather collar and harness for his dog, and a pair of Timbalands for himself "

And then there's stuff like this:

"In January 2002, DMX pleaded guilty in New Jersey to 13 counts of animal cruelty"

I'm a little bit interested in how some African Americans men, usually from the South, love dogs but also get into dog fighting and stuff. Having said that, DMX wasn't from the south and I suspect he liked having dogs but didn't take good care of them because he was often just ****ed up from drugs.

Sniffer dogs on antebellum plantations were supposedly sometimes specifically trained to catch slave runaways, and I can imagine any time those dogs happened to be on plantation they probably barked their heads off menacingly. But you probably had other house/property dogs around who were some of the friendliest things around during a miserable slave or impoverished freeman/help existence. Unless trained so, dogs also wouldn't care about race or class. And yeah, poverty boredom and dog fighting (or cockfights) will sort of go hand in hand, especially in any area that has a lot to do with animal husbandry and hunting. Pet neglect and drug habits do seem a fraught combination, and if a stray dog whilst sleeping rough was his first pet I guess that is a differently shaping formative pet owner experience compared to the security of a home. I'm just rambling here though. Dog fighting seems more to do with class, gender, roots, temperament, etc. ties into the street hardknocks and tone of some hiphop, and isn't that far removed from animal racing like greyhounds.

First time I've heard of this. I became of aware of X when he released his debut (studio) album It's Dark and Hell is Hot in the late 90s, his crew/label Ruff Ryders and the B/C grade action movies he appeared in the late 90s and early 00s.

In spite of all his flaws I felt an overwhelming sense of sadness when I heard of X's passing, I will miss him.

Have to say that his debut album was fire, still listen to some of those tracks from time to time.

Hip hop has gone from the raw lyrical honesty of the street life that many African Americans go through accompanied by heavy aggressive headnodding hypnotic beats of the late 90s and 00s to insipid candy ass unrecognizeable bubble pop production, coupled with that weird generic nauseau inducing mumble crap embarrassment that today's young rappers have taken a liking to. It's a travesty what current rap has turned into.

Some of my favourite X tracks:











RIP X and Aaliyah.
