I think you missed out his time in SpaceX, OP

Dmx favorite rapper crew, RIP.


But i fuking hate pitbulls

One of the most uplifting GOAT songs ever made

DMX was one of the realest ones. Sucks that he died so early

he had like 17 kids with 11 women, didnt' pay child support

had a rap sheet a mile long.

sounds like cope

I saw him in Vegas in 2019 and he was jumping fences for no reason. I was like wtf

What ever happened to the OG dog he stole from the junkyard?

They should write a short story... Maybe he didn't have many friends and used to walk by the junkyard everyday. The dog was his only friend through the fence. One day he stole him and took his new friend home and then raped him to death

He was the ultimate dirtbag.

Rest in PISS

Did he ever sexually abuse his underage stepdaughter and brag about it??



Misc never forgets.

Didnt read lol

seconded

lol at people praising this dude, esp the black community lol

Obviously not. And not in the habit of washing one's sins just because they were famous.

But he was a damn good rapper.

So glad I was into rap in my youth and heard the good ones.

Not this utter garbage today.

There are still tons of good rappers

Don't give a **** about the drugs, but DMX was a scum bag POS for all his animal cruelty. Anyone that idolizes this POS is scummy as well.

it wasnt his fault. damien made him do all that bad chit. didn't you ever hear the song?

That's how you get street cred homeslice.

If You rappin and you don't have a criminal record as long as a high price hooker's client list. You doin it all wrong dawg.

X gun give it to ya good.

That was actually the main reason why he was obsessed with dogs. He had a interview shortly before his death and he talked about his whole rap sheet. (Ded fkn Srs)

Does hiding from the post mean you no longer severely damaged your stepdaughter by repeatedly molesting her?

Does it reverse the fact that you made multiple threads bragging about it?

How about you kicking her out because of jealousy when she grew up and got her own bf that wasn't her predator stepfather??
