Taxstone: DMX Can Do All the Crack He Wants & I'll Still Love Him

[@xelmotivation]

I love how Tax stares into the camera when he says "He was genuine. He was being his self." Tax NEEDED the viewer to feel that one. X is DEFINITELY one of a kind. No equal.

[@MRswisharillo]

I'm slipping I'm falling and I can't get up.... DMXs music has helped me through hard times in my life so for me him smoking crack doesn't matter addiction doesn't discriminate nor does hard times and struggles.

[@rooneye]

That thing about kids who grew up around people that smoke crack dont touch it, is so true. It's the same over here with heroin, one generation will get addicted to it and there is a heroin epidemic in the area, the next generation grows up around those addicts and sees what it turns people into and stay away from that shit. The generation after that have never really been exposed to addicts like that and so 20 years after the last epidemic there's a new one for the new generation.

I was with him till he said Lean is worse than Crack. I'm from Texas and Pimp C died from Sleep Apnea mixed with Lean not just cuz of lean. Other Texas legends like Big Moe died from an unhealthy lifestyle mixed with Lean. It's all the same, you have to find that balance. -@BrownyBeatsTX

[@kevinsekyere6244]

Well said homie

[@KillahGoCrazy]

I don't think lean is more addictive than crack cuz I know a lot ppl that have had lean and never drunk it again but I don't know anybody that has took a hit of crack and be like "that's not for me" naw they was hooked ever since that first hit. But I do agree with the part of him saying nigga dropping big bread on pints of lean but crack is way less expensive

[@GrimspecteR.]

Well Taxstone's opinion aged like milk out in the sun. R.I.P DMX, you'll forever be one of a kind and in a class of your own as a rapper.

[@SankofaNYC]

Ehh... idk... I don't think it did... This is still valid... X is still the man and he was still genuine... I think you might be focusing on the crack part, and not the part of him praising X for being himself... I don't think he is saying that he WANTS DMX to do crack, I think he is saying that he isn't going to judge him, disrespect him, or look down on him for it, and I think that's valid... Tax won't ever have to worry about anyone saying he is showing fake love to X just cause he died... Cause, here he is years earlier showing love, flaws and all

[@GrimspecteR.]

@@SankofaNYC I don’t think you even understood my point so I’m going to spell it out for you. Taxstone literally said “DMX can do all the crack he wants and I’ll still love him” it’s even in the goddamn title of the video... DMX’s life was RUINED by crack, if it wasn’t for crack he might have been THE best rapper of all time. The man had the most unique voice for rapping I have ever heard and was a great lyricist in many of his tracks. He was the first rapper to have 2 platinum albums in just one calendar year in 1998. If he didn’t do crack he would have had his shit together and would have just focused on his career in rap. So yeah, Tax’s opinion indeed aged like milk out in the sun because he said that DMX can do all the crack he wants but in reality the crack was his downfall and PART of the reason he died. Several close friends of DMX have said in a few videos I have watched here on KZbin after he died that he used crack again shortly before he died and that made his heart go overboard and ultimately had a heart attack because of the crack. Essentially Tax didn’t give a single fuck about DMX using crack even though it played a HUGE part in his death. I stay by my original comment and that’s all I can say about that.

[@SankofaNYC]

@@GrimspecteR. nah I understand your point... And I literally explained it in the first post I made... You really wrote all of that for nothing lol

[@GrimspecteR.]

@@SankofaNYC Alright then, so we'll just have to agree to disagree on this subject and move on. Have a great day/night.

[@montegah]

@@GrimspecteR.huh? His opinion is his opinion it ages perfectly for him because he said DMX can smoke all the crack he wants and HE (TAXSTONE) would still love him regardless of what happens to him. How tf did that age badly because you think his crack addiction fucked up his career? Did you know DMX was addicted to crack before he ever had a career as a rapper? Did you know he dropped both of those classic albums the same year while on crack? So obviously the crack didn’t ruin his career the way you think it did. It actually made his career and it destroyed him in the process.

[@ChicagosM0stWanted]

He's absolutely right about lean being worse than crack too!! I was skeptical at first so I did a little research and sure nuff he's right.
