Jay z best memory with DMX

[@Deetroiter]

Crazy thing is DMX isn’t just loved by the hip hop community, but absolutely loved by the heavy music community. So many who will NOT listen to rap or hip hop, but they have every DMX album and know every word to his songs. He just had a certain rawness and ruggedness that crossed all musical boundaries. Rest easy, Darkman

[@BeautifulOne-h1x]

MAKE IT MAKES SENSE

[@queenofnyc5584]

I think DMX style of rap is similar to punk and metal. He did hardcore/horrorcore type of rap so

X was GRIMEY and his shows was straight crazy. The growl put the whole crowd on another level

[@jamesthompson6961]

My fantasy collaboration would’ve been DMX featured in Kanye’s Jesus Walks (remix) and they do like a couple songs on that order but keep it all the way X. That would be next level shit; DMX is the greatest at accessing organic raw emotions that are spiritual-based. He is so loved by fans because he (in Slippin’…) exposed his vulnerability at a time when hip hop’s message was so egotistical and materialistic; back then NO HIPHOP ARTIST WOULD EVER ADMIT TO SMOKING CRACK, but X was too real

[@jamesthompson6961]

X was able to unify audiences like a MLK, and was a master teaching complex issues to the grassroots, like a Malcolm X, in his ability to get the most out of simple vocabulary used. DMX was a genius at the very least. Rest In Peace Dee

X was missing studio time completely or late and often under the influence. He was unreliable and unpredictable. Even Swizz Beats said it. Dmx was his own worst enemy. The Dog is a hip hop great and legend but he never took accountability. How many times you think people (Jay included) have tried to help him. Can't help people that don't want it or think you're trying to control them.

[@dawnpratt846]

That's true however LL Cool J , said he was okay with Jay Z , being the face of the company but he wanted to still be an artist and was not working or releasing his music . He said that's why he finally had enough and left ⁉️

@@kingkongg1594 No, you need to do some research before you talk, oldhead lol. You just defending X out of the fact that you a fan of him and I get it cuz I’m a fan too but we have to be realistic. For one, the album that X said Jay wouldn’t let him put out was Year of The Dog, which released in 2006. X was not in these blockbuster movies that you speak of by that year. That was prior. People that were on set with X for movies even said he was always late lol. So it ain’t no lie. X did start to become unreliable by this time period. His addiction was really taking a hold of em by this time. You can deny but facts are facts. That’s why he fell off for so long and really didn’t come back until about a year or a few months before he passed.
