Great guest

[@jamessmith7205]

I like to let short clips play while I brush my teeth. I don't think I would want to sit down and watch a whole entire video like that. The clips work great for me. I like it when I multi-task.

[@acmd3566]

One thing drag dont get respect for is bridging the gap between up north and down south, he really fuck with the southern culture heavy.

[@crackmanjones1710]

Definitely a real ass humble nigga. No wonder X had mad love for him.

[@youtubeaccount458]

X didn't speak to this man for years and years and years. Their relationship was over exaggerated. Drag on used to bite dmx style so hard it was unreal. Like literally used to rap just like him. Drag just use X name for clout and pretends to be closer than they really were.

[@storludde]

@@youtubeaccount458 Dmx said in serveral interviews that drag was his brother and stuff like that, also in recent interviews.

[@youtubeaccount458]

[@youtubeaccount458]

@@crackmanjones1710 I heard it from X's mouth! Lol. He hadn't seen drag in YEARS. Why was drag never in any videos with X? Swizz was, dame grease, divine bars, Irv, Ja, dee and waah, the lox. They all been around X like every year. Drag on was NEVER around. My original comment still stands.

[@sauceminor]

As a beatmaker I remember a lil while back Drag-On dropped a line on my IG, said my beats was hard. Had 0 followers at the time, I appreciate that brotha.

I know DMX is looking down on him, happy and smiling❤️ Bless this brother

@MexicAmeRogue. no just happy for him period!!! That he's doing his thing and healthy. Seriously why do people always have to be negative when people speak positivity. Annoying af. This man been through a lot and lost his brother. I know DMX is looking down on him just happy period.

That's facts I'm from Strong Island NY and my mother gave me,my oldest sister,and my younger brother to her mother my Nana because my mother was a heroin addict who died from a drug overdose in 1986: when I was I was 16. My grandmother raised us after rasing 8 kids of her own so believe me grandmother's are heaven sent.

It’s really sad though, so many adults are still having kids that their parents have to raise because they’re incompetent. Nobody thinks of their burden we just praise them for being strong 😞
