huge loss. I got a random guy at the mall to buy me flesh of my flesh blood of my blood when I was in 5th grade and hid it in the back of my closet from my parents, and I'd put it on the house sound system when they weren't home. guy lived a wild life and struggled with a lot of shit. RIP

RIP DMX, he was actually a pretty chill guy and had some cool insight in his later interviews.

DMX has an interesting place in rap, he kind of was the transition from Biggie/Tupac to the 2000s rappers.

I think he had a heart attack from a possible overdose (According to an article I read yesterday from Vanity) which he might have stroked after it and lost his brain activity function. Can't really do much once thats the case unfortunately.

I printed out the lyrics to "Party Up" in high school so I could memorize them. Forgot to take them off of the printer right away, and my dad found them, which resulted in him telling me I couldn't listed to music anymore... because music of his generation (which I grew up listening to) was SOOOO innocent.

DMX had a really bad reputation with his concerts up here. He was so messed up at one that he couldn't perform, no-showed on another, and cancelled at least one other. But I love his music, regardless. It's sad when anyone struggles with addiction.

Overdose is what the media is trying to push with no proof. His family is saying he had a Heart Attack a few days after getting the COVID-19 vaccine.

Back in high school when I used to play hockey, it was tradition that we’d blast where the hood at on this giant ass speaker as we go from the locker room and on to the ice at the start of each game for all the years I played there. That song used to get us all so fucking hyped it was insane. May he rest in peace.

Brutal. Thanks for clarifying. I got "got" by the media. Have heard/seen stories of similar complications with the vaccine. RIP to him and others

Here is a pretty good neutral source. Im not saying that the COVID shot necessarily killed DMX but a family member is simply stating he got the shot about a week before his heart attack. The widespread claims he died of a drug overdose are completely unfounded however and I think its pretty shitty to say someone died from drugs all over the media with no proof.

"I know DMX has a history of drug use and they're saying he died of an OD but THERE'S NO PROOF AND THAT'S ABSURD! It was definitely the vaccine that hundreds of millions of people have taken without dying!!"

Holy fuck, you are a jackass.

Lmao can’t be a reliable source when the headline reads “DMX got heart attack” might be neutral but not at all reliable.

How about you take your double standard and shove it up your troll ass. Maybe he was on drugs and the shot put him over the edge? Anyway the point I am making is that its somehow ok for the media to take an assumption and run it as the truth in headline after headline before we even have the actual facts in regards to a drug OD but to even point out that he died after taking an experimental drug is absurd.
