    Not tryna run you down man I think you’re good but it’s disappointing to see you take that stance against someone who’s obviously had a life filled with demons. WWGD what would guru do

    The brain is a crazy thing. I admittedly haven’t listened to any DMX in years, maybe a decade, but I used to love his music back in the day. Threw on his music today and still remembered the words to the songs as if I had never stopped listening to them.

    For whatever reason I've always had this vivid memory of "What's My Name" running through my head during PE class one random day, wanted to listen to It's Dark and Hell is Hot tonight but I threw What's my Name on afterwards and it's like I never stopped listening

    When I think back to the time I started skewing heavily towards hip hop, the two acts that I remember really driving that were Outkast and DMX

    I’m not trying to be a douche but to call the first point simplistic and then follow up with an opinion that ends with “he was a shithead and not a good person” is pretty much the same. From the sidelines the guy seemed like a complicated dude that struggled with a lot but cared deeply for his family, friends, and fans. I wouldn’t just categorize a guy like that as a shithead.

    I
    remember being so hyped when this came out. The fact I was listening to Eminem and DMX when I was like 10-11 years old probably answers a lot about how I turned out 20 years later.

    What a galaxy brained take to say he brought his issues upon himself. The guy grew up in a tough environment and struggled his whole life. I saw this shared and idk how someone could read it and say “oh he brought this upon himself”

    DMX had an extremely difficult childhood. It goes along with his politics to put everything on DMX and not the system that created the situation into which he was born

    Yeah I’ve typed and deleted a few messages, but it’s quite obvious War Grundle (and obviously most of us) grew up in a fucking bubble.

    None of us know the trauma or shit he had to go through and pretending like it’s as simple as “welp he chose to do drugs and go to jail” is so fucking infuriating.

    i don’t have the substance abuse issues he did. I did grow in a similar way. I grew up in a place were being in a gang and violence was the norm. I started drinking and smoking weed at about 13. I’ve been in solitary. The stanza in Who We Be hits home . His music to me is very relatable. It played a big part in a important part of my life. A time when I had my shirt relatively together and was becoming a better person. I am glad I am not judged solely by my mistakes.

    Again no one is pretending DMX wasn’t human with flaws but to come in a thread that is mourning his passing and say the crap gunners and grundel said is tone death at the very least. Spent the day yesterday listening to his music and remembering the good days in my life it represents. I understand I have lived a very different life than many on the this board.

    There’s been better movies and I’ll never argue that, but the combination of soundtrack/aesthetic/visual splendor of Belly is hard to match for me. The white eyes in the black lights of the night club meant to simulate wolves on the prowl is just cool
