RIP to Tha God Emcee!

This was at a time where JayZ and Nas were thinking of themselves as Pablo Escobar crack kingpins. And DMX instead was talking about his use of drugs. And the devil is after him. The devil is chasing him. He's made a deal with the devil. Very nuanced realism. I felt that he brought to the game where again, other rappers were talking about fantasy stuff. Not to say that DMX wasn't talking about fantasy stuff, but the whole drug Kingpin thing

A true artist they didn’t care about infamy and Notoriety but instead the art and the human condition. #hiphop #artist

Hey, Dewuan. I had to chime in even though I'm out on the trail, slowed down a little bit to a walk so I could reply. He was definitely for sure. His death brought back a lot of memories of back in the day, as it did for you. And I got to ask you, that box. Was it a special effect or was it really you? Because that was pretty good. Pretty authentic, pretty authentic

Hey everyone. I shared this on another Swell Cast post. It's an interview with Tullyed Kwali and DMX, where he talks about about his mentor and being introduced to Crack at the age of 14. It's really sad, but it's very enlightening in terms of his life and just wanted to share that and say, Rest in peace. Dmx

Thank you, good sir. 🤝 @Rayga

Mr. Gerard, thank you very much for responding. And yes, yeah, DMX. I can honestly admit I kind of got bored of him after a while. It's like after or his third album. I think I just stopped listening to him, but I've always had appreciation for him as an artist. And later on, I kind of understood not from personal experience, but his process. He would even skip video shoots, award shows. He didn't care about any of that stuff

Thank you @kimestryarts

I just want to go in this mind right now. So maybe in a different time weeks from then I'll watch the clip, but I'm just not in the mood or in the mood to watch clips of DMX at this point in time. I'm but anyway, Kim, thank you for adding to the conversation
