Say a prayer for the dog.







One of the greatest. Man has demons but fucking rocked!

 

[Batiman]

A forgotten great. Hope he pulls through

 

[INC]

i even liked DMX in a few movies

he was great in Belly

 

[DKehoe]

Shit, hope he pulls out of it and gets healthy.

 

[ThatStupidLion]

bros a veggie. no coming back from that

 

[Quixz]

One of my favourite MCs

 

[EverythingsOverrated]

It's not sounding good at all.

Really sad stuff. As is, DMX belongs in the upper echelon of MCs, but if the guy got his act together he could've been top 5 all time.

 

[Square Grooper]

Really sad life... He probably would have been better off pushing a broom than ever getting famous.

I think he was a person who craved endorphin rushes... I mean could you imagine the highs and lows hes felt. Chasing those demons had to have sucked.

When I was 13 he just broke through on the radio... Seems forever ago.

 

[bucyou]

Last I heard, y'all ninjas was havin' sex with the same sex
I show no love to homo thugs
Empty out, reload and throw mo' slugs
How you gonna explain fuckin' a man?
Even if we squash the beef, I ain't touchin' your hand

 

[Syphon Filter]

I literally said a prayer and never have for other celebs, this will hurt a lot. I hope he makes it.

 

[RavenSan]

Aw shit -- I love DMX. Hope he makes it outa this OK

 

[Patrick S.]

This man and Wu-Tang was the soundtrack of my youth and early twenties

 

[BeardGawd]

Come on DMX pull through man. It sucks that all the greats go by ODing on something. Is the stress of being famous really worth it?

I'd rather live 40 years being rich and being able to fuck thousands of beautiful women than live 80 years of mediocrity grinding out a living from 9 to 5.

Name checks out.

 

[ArtemisClydeFrog]

bucyou

 

[Azurro]

When I first read the title I thought "How do bikes manage to OD?"

 

[MrS]

The days of X giving it to us may sadly be numbered

 

[Tg89]

Damn. Shame what happened to him.

its dark and hell is hot is a top 10 rap album of all time.

 

[M1chl]

What substance?

 

[Max_Po]

Really sad situation.

 

[stn]

Flesh of my Flesh, Blood of my Blood on VHS tape was the first rap album I ever listened to. He's my favorite of all of time. I'm lost for words.

 

[RPS37]

*starts sadly barking at screen

 

[haxan7]

What substance?

Probably heroin or fentanyl mixed with crack

 

[Ionian]

Probably heroin or fentanyl mixed with crack

Christ that would be some mixture. His tolerance must have been extremely high for something like that.

 

[stn]

Latest update is that he's been taken off life support and is breathing on his own.

 

[Square Grooper]

Hope he lives... And is strong enough to make a recovery...

 

[triplestation]

god speed to his recovery

 

[eastcoastkody]

easily a top 5 of all time rapper.

 

[Hatemachine]

easily a top 5 of all time rapper.

This is getting out of hand.

No doubt X had some great tracks, but c'mon now. Half of his lyrics are barking into the microphone.

 

[Rentahamster]

What substance?

X

 

[NahaNago]

welp, hope he recovers and gets help.

 

[Prison Mike]

bros a veggie. no coming back from that

 

[The Hamburglar]

Ecstasy gonna give it to ya.

But seriously hopes he's alright

 

[Bartski]

Probably heroin or fentanyl mixed with crack

yeah that must be rough the day after

 

[Cravis]

Damn. Doesn't sound good. Hope he pulls through.

Was never into rap but I enjoyed him in Exit Wounds with Seagal and Cradle 2 the Grave with Jet Li.

LMAOOO watchin white girls sing the lyrics including n-word and white dudes moshing to this like it's a heavy rock concert is amazing. We were on a solid trajectory wtf happened

The media happened.

Every single one of those girls could be "canceled" right now if someone took the time to figure out who they are.

Woodstock 99 was the peak of human civilization.

 

[bender]

Damn. One of my favorites. Hoping against hope.

 

[eastcoastkody]

if u dont think he's one of the best rappers of all time. U weren't alive in 1998-1999

rap has been almost unlistenable-to for at least a decade. so its not like top 5-10 of all time pool is so large that DMX couldn't even be considered...by anyones standards.

"Veg" state can't get any closer to death than that call it what it is, his music will live forever regardless of the outcome or diagnosis.

If you were alive in 1998 you should be well aware that every member of the Wu-Tang Clan obliterates X on the mic. The idea of him being a top 10 rapper is complete nonsense.

DMX also has one of the weakest vocabularies in rap:

loads of good rap and hiphop about, just not in the mainstream.

who gives a damn about vocab when a rapper like dmx has songs that make you feel something.

 

[YCoCg]

Damn, DMX with that Busta Rhymes production, still a banging collab

 

[Schattenjäger]

come on X!!

agreed he wasn't really a lyricist but it doesn't take away from his x factor and ability to strengthen any tracks he was on .. also i'd consider his debut album top 10 material.
