DMX was in some great action movies including Exit Wounds with Steven Seagal, and Romeo Must Die with Jet Li. Never listened to his music but liked watching his movies.Addiction is a horrible thing.RIP DMX

I was a fan of his music, and I had nothing but sympathy for his ongoing struggles with drugs. He was addicted as a child and was never able to fully recover. RIP.

“It’s Dark and Hell is Hot” was his first album. It is not a Gospel album.

As pastor John MacArthur said, the punishment of hell never catches up to the sin because the damned never repent— they have no means to: they keep sinning throughout eternity; therefore, the punishment remains enforced.

DMX was in Exit Wounds and another Steven Seagull movie. I think he was also in Romeo Must Die.

I used to blow my niece’s mind, she would be listening to a song that I knew it.

You’ll be surprised how much music you pick up on when you’re actively engaged in a gym free-weight room because that’s where all the heavy music is played.

Absolutely. He was one of the most interesting rappers of the '90s.

Gee, with titles and lyrics like this I can see why /s

DMX - F**k U B**ch Lyrics

Uh, uh, uh, uh, f**k you b**ch
Straight up, don't give a f*** about you b****
He can't get off without you b****
And he get ghost, took off like somethin ain't right
But I really feel this b**** is, frontin ain't right
So I, walk with it like THIS but try to get it like THAT
You still lookin like THIS, supposed to be like THAT
If you told me but you know me I'ma do what the f*** I want regardless
It all depends on where nigga your heart is
Peep the bulls**t, not much so I'm like "I guess"
But I had to clean it up cause, well it's my mess
You knew you was f***in with a dog
But you don't wanna be a b****, stupid b****! You f**in with a dog!

But things don't go the way they supposed
And this b**** gettin me back in my clothes
And I'm gon' get on the road and do what the dog do
ARF ARF! Your whole crew

Okay okay, if that's what you say
And that's how you move, if that's how you play
See, I'm a thorough nigga, basically what I do
is if I got one I make sure you got two
BUT, then again if b****es is chickens
Just somethin for me to stick my d*** in
Then I, gut b****es out, sl*t b****es out
Nut in b****es mouth, put b****es out
First man get down, last man go hard
F*** b****es then I (Hump-free) like Bogart
"X is so hard!" Yeah, all night
Cause it's all good baby, it's alright
