[@ssrhorn7756]

DMX is and always be THE goat to me ..He spoke to me a lot ....R.I.P. DMX... You are so missed.. As long as I live ur music will play on my stereo my sons to now ...

I felt sad immediately i heard he was hospitalized...the furst day i heard his song was in a friend's home in 1998.. "slipping" the alpha and Omega of hiphop is DMX. The last hope the last breed Rip DMX

Fly high X...

[@96Migrant]

DMX was my favourite artist and I remember when he died vividly.. I had tickets to see him live in the U.K. in 2020, but then COVID happened, before I knew it he was dead, heartbreaking stuff. Thanks for making this g, great video

[@ThrowbackCentralOG]

No problem 💯

[@fizziealladin5282]

I remember that too!!! I paid £60.00 to go see him in the O2 for Friday 24 July 2020 in Greenwich. More than half my life I wanted to see him, my chance had finally come! COVID happened than he died.. Painful and hurt 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

[@seyo8068]

Pac and X will always have a special place in my heart, when X died a piece of me died too. after all he was there during my whole teenage years. after pac died an DMX came around i was immediately hooked on his music. had every album ... will never forget the day I bought " Flesh of my Flesh, blood of my blood ". after school out i got to a Virgin store and bought it, got home and listened for the nxt month every day to it. even had a disc man for my way to school so i can hear dmx on my way to school.😄DMX was a huge part of my grow up process. He and Pac were the realest Artist in the Game ever! MUCH LOVE TO BOTH OF EM AND MAY THEY REST IN PEACE 🙏🙏🙏🙏

when X first came out he was the best. he represented the culture the way he carried himself all that! at that time you had to be around to really understand it. I mean the dog was really that dope. hes in my top 5 best rappers alone just for the culture and the lyrics!?!?.....well...... you know....

[@jamaulmewborn6460]

RIP DMX the best to ever do it

[@paulgreenwood7845]

Great video, thank you

[@fizziealladin5282]

My bro.. this was so well put together. DMX is my favourite rapper since I was 13 years old. It's so nice to c a peice of work about my favourite rapper of all times, but put together with some proper structure, blended with the actual Story line of DMX life, but also to hear someone from ends doing this too. Man dem used to piss me off coz all I listened to was DMX and Tupac and coz I'm from South London. But to hear next man from ends to do this as well as it was done is real humbling. Thank u so much for this. Real talk.💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

[@ThrowbackCentralOG]

Ayy south London stand up! Glad you enjoyed this my bro. Don’t worry there’s loads of people from ends that still listen to old school stuff like you and me, we’re rare but we still here 💯

[@jaycompany4886]

Man, i didn't know x went through so much as a kid....great story. RIP DMX

[@technicolorrose5549]

I didn't know things were so difficult for him either. He IS my favorite rapper and his music has and still does help me so much, he was a beautiful soul deep inside. He might have done some cruddy shit in life - everyone does - but that man went thru what most don't. And he lived the only way he knew how. He was never able to completely abandon his demons and that's what led to his death. When u think about it issues in adulthood almost always lead back to childhood trauma. That man knew the Bible and he knew God. He was so important to so many ppl and he truly did (and still does) change ppls lives.

[@daviddalton3728]

Nice work

[@Larry_187]

I just came across this channel and watched the episode on DMX. Great F#cking work. Will watch more for sure.

DMX the best hands down; let's argue!

[@marioboyd4259]

X✌🏾

[@F371C1A_R]

Ugh the end was so hard. I remember when I heard. 😥😥 DMX without a doubt was Gods chosen one. He was GOLDEN & the world was lucky to have had him. He truly left his mark in this world. When people tell a DMX story, their faces instantly light up just by saying his name. The world lost a GEM 💎 & it’s heartbreaking for us. But without a doubt we all know he is with OUR SAVIOR. Heaven is where this Angel should be 🕊️✨🤍 X🫶🏼 ♾️💞

[@djtimspaceking8306]

I'll tell you the truth DMX first album is the truth classic I don't care what nobody say there's no skips on that album it's a masterpiece it's my favorite album of all time look into my eyes my favorite record I love the whole album it was just perfect

[@remt1900]

Dmx was bomb to wake us up rip respect is due

[@Rs_ArGoX2170]

Maybe im just a oldhead holding on to the past, but losing people like dmx put a dark cloud over it all and having a new generation of shitters like tekashi 69 or whatever that freak his name is will never fill that.. I really wish we could go back i time 😢

Family how in the eff did you not cover K-SOLO spellbound & how D.M.X. DESTROYED him for stealing his style!

[@frontandcenter7941]

You was only 1 year old? You sound like you witnessed his career. Great research though. So that's why you think his first video was his big breaktrough. It wasn't though. His big breaktrough was the ruff ryders anthem. After that he became known and huge around the world.

[@ThrowbackCentralOG]

Lol yeah, I'm 25 but grew up on this type of music. You're right though RRA was his breakthrough single. Thanks for watching!

[@noslenb636]

U said imagine stealing a while Rottweiler 😂 try to imagine stealing half of one
