RIP DMX

[Haan]

Absolute icon. Unfortunately could not win his battle with addiction.

Tricked into smoking crack at age 14 yet managed to get 2 albums go no 1 in the same year. Unreal.

Just FYI this is v heart-breaking

Ah man 😞 This was obviously coming but it doesn’t suck any less to see it happening.

Hopefully people remember him most for the bangers rather than the drug problems that plagued his life.

RIP

[dentalplan]

Was inevitable for the past week but so sad to hear. One of the greats. RIP

[EighteenSixty7]

RIP, one of the greatest.

So funny

 

[kalifire]

Sad to see him go at such a young age. 

[gigpusher]

Sad news even sadder that no music station is playing music or talking about anything other than a man twice his age dying. 

[eFestivals]

What is it lately with rappers dying young without them shooting each other.

I can't forgive his occasionally horrific homophobic lyrics unfortunately. But he left a decent few bangers.

Sorry to see someone succumb to addiction so badly, he could never quite kick it.

Say what you will about Prince Phillip, but he never produced a banger as big as X Gon’ Give It Ya.

His whole Woodstock performance is so hype. It’s easy to forget just how huge he was, but that crowd popping off for his entire set says it all.

Tough watch, really wish he could have found the support he needed when he needed it

I'd wouldn't mind a separate thread to say what I'd like about Philip 

Sad news about DMX, 50 is no age.

And then people still question me when I say I have no time for drugs at all.

I got all sorts of shit for saying something similar a couple of weeks back.

Not saying I disagree with you.

Are you the one who made the stabbing comment about that festival?

How many rappers can you name that shot another rapper? Go...

[Zacko]

Watched Cradle 2 the Grave tonight as a sort of tribute, took me right back to being 14 again.

It's pretty terrible but somehow has a huge amount of charm at the same time.

You being against drugs* is fine.

You being so against drugs* that you are against drug* testing because you feel certain drugs* should remain potentially fatal is a disturbing lack of empathy for other human beings. And so is bringing up your stance on drugs* when people are mourning an artist's death.

*Just the ones you don't take

edit: also the song in your username is done by a rapper who has taken a bunch of drugs.
