OT: DMX Hospitalized After Heart Attack

.-.
One troubled dude. Love X, but it's amazing he's lived this long. Remember when he posed as an FBI agent? Clearly has a ton of mental issues and resorts to self-medication. The Amazon Prime series is a must watch.
 
Saw he checked himself in to rehab again in 2019 not because he relapsed but because he felt his demons coming back. Sad to see somebody struggle for so many years with addiction and not be able to overcome it.

I don't think there was ever a bigger rap star than DMX was in 98-99. I know others have had better careers overall, but X when he first came out was bigger than all of them. I remember in middle school if you didn't have "its dark and hell is hot" and "flesh of my flesh blood of my blood" you were a loser. Kids had ruff ryder chains and were barking up and down the hallways.

First 5 albums went to 1. Nobody had ever done that. NOBODY. Not MJ, not the Beatles, nobody. Incredible.

I could be getting this wrong but I remember reading that after It's Dark and Hell is Hot came out (best intro ever, by the way) Lyor Cohen bet him a million bucks that he couldn't get another album out by the end of the year. So he dropped Flesh of My Flesh in December and that went to #1 too.

If you weren't around in the late 90s it's hard to explain how huge this guy was. And when the beat on "Where the Hood At" drops and you don't want to run through a brick wall I don't want to know you. (Although . . . whew those lyrics would be problematic today.)

RIP to a guy that seemed to have been loved by everyone that came in contact with him.

His verse on Ni^^az Done Started Something is maybe the hardest verse ever.
 
oh I loved DMX music. I was a junior in college when UConn won in 1999. His music always brought me back to that time with UConn winning it all and then going to the nightclubs or dance parties where his music was always pumping. RIP DMX.
