X ain't like Jay and puff. Bc jay turned into pop so did puff. But X is always about that real hip hop . And people have the nerve to say jay is better, better think again. At least X ain't no sellout
There will never ever be a person like this man ever again. I do not think people will ever understand the power and passion behind this movement you just had to be there
There will never be another dmx period Blessings to his children's grandchildrens mom grandmother rip father rip grandfather rip aunt's uncle's friends and fans #1 ride or die earl simmons bka dmx our king lay legendary never die our king just crossed over where other's needed him more 🙏🌹🔥💯🙏👏🌹💯🔥💋🙏🌹❤️🔥💋🙏👏❤️🌹🔥💋🧡🙏👏🔥💕❤️💯🔥
Man, I don’t know if people understand how BIG DMX was. I mean, he was bigger than your favorite rappers favorite rapper. Possibly the biggest name in music between 1998-2000. And has classic after classic after classic. The man put out nothing but hits for like 5 years. Let this man have his roses!
Are we watching the same show? His mother didnt know how to handle him. Thats difft than not loving him. Walk in her shoes. U are hearing alot of hear se from people trying to make a story. Earl created most of earls problems. He knew right from wrong and chose wrong
gospelevans Father figure gone. How to be a man and how to express your feelings is nonexistent. See everyone around you selling, acting up, mom cant support the family. You get a dysfunctional human being. A mothers love was rarely shown and given. She gave up on him by sending him away. Simple
Yes yes yes amen and Gods Child not ashamed nor afraid, always gave God the glory. Just praying after every show every interview. Mi Manz. Reached people that never felt it, I’m sure, until they crossed His path……
I meet Jadakiss & DMX one day and DMX was humble & jada & I talked each other’s ears off while X just stood there and listened to ever word we were saying - they both dapped me up with a pound/hug and just keep walking down NYC street like average people 💯
I agree with your comment. I myself have a lot of pain from one thing or another, and when I speak to people about basic life things, I am complimented on how smart, intelligent etc I am.
DMX is leagues above 2pac, he is leagues above many others asswell, he embodied the whole point of hi hop and that is self expression and story telling
GTFOH Nobody would know who Ruff Ryders was until X yelled it on a track. They absolutely should have given him... wait he earned his percentage of the company. He battled, topped charts, introduced new artists on his albums and videos. X was the grassroots Golden boy of RR.
Facts!!! We were in highschool out in california on Ruff Ryders all cuz of X ruff ryder anthem. That set it off for us even though get at me dog came first
If that was never in a contract thats absurd though. just because you were the “hottest” artist on the label doesn’t mean you’re entitled to own part of the label all of a sudden. again, unless that was discussed from the beginning as a contingency then this just sounds like another “musician” crying about being a victim of the industry and blowing their wealth.
If your multi platinum, without help from the ruff ryderz, what do you really owe em. If not, they owe you more for putting them on the limelight, not to mention, for keeping that wave moving as long as it did. Is it coincidence that once dmx buzz died down, ruff ruderz did too... most definitely dmx should of been comp’ed, its called privileged treatment. Its real when u earn it. When u serve a purpose, u get that treatment, its earned.! Plus, since when do u know anybody to do anything for free in this world. He helped put ruff ryderz on the map! Bottom dollar, pay the man, if u wanna go farther.
Whenever I listen to famous people talk/tell stories it’s always hard to believe everything I here but when dmx is talking I can feel in my heart that everything that man is saying is the truth and honestly it’s one of the most refreshing feelings
Eve and X are my favorite in ruff ryders! Luv X so much mane and I miss him i was at the concert with jay z in South Carolina .and it was amazing show mane he did a prayer at the end and it felt like I was in church ⛪ that how great he was mane!
X is a lot of different things, but one thing you can never say is he is fake. Right or wrong, rapping or robbing, sober or f’d up, it’s all X. Just different sides
X has never sugar coated nothing. He gave people the truth whether they wanted to hear it or not. Even if it wasnt music related, he still managed to keep it real. X is a G for that
I had the pleasure DMX live in his prime at the cash money Ruff Ryders tour. Everyone is there a thing, DMX killed it. While everyone else hit the stage 20 deep, X came out solo sounding just like the records. Hand down the best live hip hop performer I have ever seen
I know right! I miss him so much. Mane it just so weird with no X in the world I'm glad I got his last album exodus it is a good album. And I have the it's dark and hell it's 🔥 and flesh of my flesh of my blood album amd great depression I have as well!
I know we all gotta die someday. But when DMX leave this earth that's gonna be a tough one for me. He needs to be honored more a real Legend from the struggle 💯.
Prince23 right. The day when X pass away, will be a sad day for this world and hip hop. Bc this dude has made good music for the people like us who listens to real hip hop. X is LEGENDARY!
X and tyson are exactly the same, tough childhood, then owning the world, then losing it all. Both are very extremely emotional and always can't contain their emotions and cry, always said they don't know how they got the fame, money and success. The similarities goes on
CantonOhio 330 Thats unfortunate. No child is asked to be in this world but when they enter, they need love and nurturing so it’s sad to see kids just left for dead, having to figure it all out on their own
X was the dopest cat around. Met him at a festival and bruh stopped the barber from cutting his hair to come kick it with us. Dude showed mad love to those who showed love to him. Much love and respect.
3 ปีที่แล้ว +36
Earl knew that those personas stemmed from his deepest childhood trauma, and it made him cry speaking about it. Bc those memories crept up back up. He had anger and resentment, that he could not simply get rid of. Thank God for hip hop, thank God for DMX💕
@@MisssKayy no they can put it in a trust fund until he clean his self up. He doesnt have to access it all the time just only when he needs it. But yes he should have been partner of ruff riders
It’s not unusual for highly intelligent and creative individuals to split personalities through childhood trauma. Add substance and it can be tragic. I want to remember him for his charisma and talent. He doesn’t want to own his talent, but I think he should.
Abandonment issues maybe made him feel like he didn’t deserve it. If my own mom and dad don’t want me why I deserve all this love & gifts from God & fans? Im sure the abandonment made him question himself. But he was a Christian made and I know he read God word that we are God’s child & he love us even when our own parents don’t, & he thinks the world of us. God bless and rest his soul.
He was real! full of life, full of pain, no B.S. Not afraid to show his emotions. A GIANT voice like no other. I got chills the first time I heard him on the radio. RIP. Never forgotten.
My favorite track is look thru my eyes. That last line he said " feel the pain, and the joy, of a man who was never a boy" that was deep. My favorite line from him.
@@trentyates418 Man, I can't even say what my favorite song is; I'm not that brave. For example, if I'd said "Let Me Fly" is my favorite song, I'd have had to stop and think again when you brought up "Look Thru My Eyes" coz that joint is powerful. As you said, the ending is powerful... "For Real".
Watching this after his passing is even more profound. His life was really overwhelming 😔. To go from a place of no love to feel like people only love you because you are famous. That would be a ton for anyone. He literally broke down crying on stage.... I just pray for his family and others who run to drugs to escape. Life can be crazy but you are never alone. There is always someone who loves you genuinely. ❤🙏❤🙏
I'm praying for DMX/Earl Simmons. He is every one of us....Fighting to survive every day. X has his demons but he has a good soul. Please watch and protect him Lord. 🙏 🙏 🙏
Earl was a warrior who fought till the very end. He loved his family with all of his heart and we cherish the times we spent with him. Earl's music inspired countless fans across the world and his iconic legacy will live on forever. We appreciate all of the love and support during this incredibly difficult time. - Please respect our privacy as we grieve the loss of our brother, father, uncle and the man the world knew as DMX. -
That's why X and Pac always get compared. They always stayed associated with real people in the struggle, they didn't care about being flashy. They was really for the people💯💯💯
Cuz said “we kept X out of trouble and we spent a lot of money that didn’t get recouped” NIGGA every album went platinum and third went 6x platinum....didn’t get recouped man what!?!?!
How could that have ever been said??!?!? No matter how bad off X was,or what trouble there was,I believe that man,Bruh! I believe that even blowed like the wind in Chicago, when X saw that they were serious,he went serious and intelligent...(but that’s just another person inside him!!keep him looking crazy,nobody gives credence)they didn’t know what they had, but He Did!! I’m thinking that they blew his aspirations off as a broken mans dreams...Out of 3 albums,2 Platinum albums, in the same year?!?!? And one that only went platinum 6 times! DaFuccHeMean recouped? Y’all recouped off the label’s buzz he generated, and M -iIllions of dollars!!!
How many of these 'ride or die' people would have stuck by him, if he wasnt making millions for everybody? He knew that truth, and it only added to his pain.
I have a friend like him and he reminds me of myself when your to well known everybody wants you 1 friend I have I would die for he never wanted anything from me I always shared with him because he was a true friend a father figure god bless DMX god rest his poor soul
I ain't gonna lie, X in his prime made the audience feel energy like nobody else ever could make you feel. Energy so thick and intense you can cut it with a knife. 💯💯💯
U can feel that pain thru the screen... I've met him on numerous occasions & this man is one of the most genuine persons I have ever met... This was so extremely painful to watch... FATHER GOD, PLEASE HAVE MERCY !!... He is that authenticity the industry desperately needs today... PULL THRU KING... UR NOT FINISHED YET
X already told ya, "the snake, the rat, the cat, the dog, how you going to see them, if you living in the fog, in the fog, in the fog, living in the fog, HOW YOU GOING TO SEE THEM IF YOU LIVING IN THE FOG" CLASSIC MESSAGE
Ptl! God bless his spirit! I'm a 58 year old die hard Dmx fan and my heart is crushed and elated at the same time for him. And only a true Christian and believer would understand. God bless you X..See you soon!
Anytime a person makes a bad choice and starts to cry. It shows that they want to be a better person. He was crying out for that help. I just wanted X to realize that no one is perfect and he was well loved
I find myself listening and watching this video while DMX is said to be on life support. Prayers go out to X, DMX, Earl, and all his family and love ones.
This movie was my intro, to DMX. I was 7 years old when this movie was released (2002). Over the last 19 years, being 26 years old now, I’ve made it intentional to listen to DMX’s music. His real life is felt through his music, and it was lived out in the public. His impact will stand, forever! Rest in power, DMX. - 4-9-21 - 💪🏿🤎
I agree 1000...his heart ❤ was broken on every level..and I believe that's how he passed..it's so difficult for me to watch him, because I just break down
He's been in deep deep pain for a very long time it shows in most of his videos he kinda seems like he was waiting for this day to be at peace he was living for others not himself he's been talking to God asking him to take that pain away my favorite rapper of all times his songs said it all truly going to miss you earl simmons aka DMX bless you I no u already have your wings and Halo 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
"Artist blow up, and then they want a piece of the pie..." There are some Singles that gave a whole record company their seed money or stopped them from going bankrupt. DMX made 3 platinum albums in 2 years and he couldn't get a piece of the pie as the face of the label? :)
@Michel Schantz right without what the success of those albums they would have just be like a Frat House / Biker Group/ Small Business, not an established commercial company.
So happy to have watched this before the heart attack!! And all the chronicles!! BET, please, do this for more artist that are still with us today!! My prayers are with X
The DMX story is what I needed to hear because it gave me a better understanding of the man behind the music, and it was inspiring & heart felt at the same time.
I'm here after learning of DMX's untimely passing. This legendary rapper was born the same year as me, 1970. DMX seemed to be a troubled and conflicted man. May he now finally REST IN PEACE.
I don't think Tashera gets enough credit for taking him in when he was essentially just a homeless drug addict that no one wanted to take in. Imagine if she never opened her home after he was jumped: he probably wouldn't have lived to be as successful as he once was. And the sad part is, he had all those babies on her. I wonder if he regrets how he did her.
Tashera is a real one. That's the women we need, women that are strong. And more women like Tashera needs alot of props bc without her, it wouldnt be no X
My list goes like this in no particular order. 1. Eminem 2. 2pac 3. Masta Ace 4. 50 cent. 5. Jay Z 6. Dmx 7. Styles P 8. Fabolous 9. Papoose. 10. Lil Wayne.
God loves you DMX. I have empathy for you. I pray for you and your family. That you will be reborn and come back stronger and better than you ever been. So your Children and their children will know the incredible man you are. God bless you DMX. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Took me a long time to learn how to trust people enough to show any type of emotion. Still struggle this day. DMX music on so many levels spoke and did that for me. My goat and that will never change
Man DMX was a big part of my childhood ..he was definitely one of a kind..snoop said that X was the only one was was like Tupac he said that x was like Tupac reincarnated..love DMX he’s truly a legend of legends god bless his soul 🙏
RUFF RIDERS TOOK ADVANTAGE OF X, HE DEFINITELY DESERVED PART OWNERSHIP OF THAT GROUP BECAUSE IF IT WASN'T FOR X RUFF RIDERS WOULDN'T BE A HOUSEHOLD NAME
RIP DMX I just got the news that you went home. Our Father in heaven. Wanted you to come on home. No more pain no more sorrow. My condolence to your family. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Christopher Brown you h. ave to want it too. Corporate America is shady so you have to take what’s yours while keeping your composure he definitely deserves it. But with his temperament and his vices it is A LOT harder to demand such things
Just Suzie nah you tripping!!!!! After Dmx left the label there was no more ruff Ryders once you chop the head off the body will drop and Ruff Ryder label was the body...no dmx no Ruff Ryders. Dmx was to what JAY-Z was to Roc a fella
If you asked me I bet looking back I bet Dee and them wish they would’ve gave Dmx his % maybe X and Ruff Ryders would still be competing with Jay-z and the Roc
DMX was in so much pain it hurt me to watch...only God knows what he truly battled inside his heart and mind...he's at peace now...for all eternity with the Lord...rest peacefully Earl 🙏🏽
X never crossed over to pop he made the pop fans come to him and that's pretty rare. That reason alone is why DMX is one of the GOATS
Thats real...dmx made pop come to him
So true right on!
🎯💯
X ain't like Jay and puff. Bc jay turned into pop so did puff. But X is always about that real hip hop . And people have the nerve to say jay is better, better think again. At least X ain't no sellout
He had pop songs make me lose my mind up in here was pop without selling out pop
That man was hurting bro he cried alot throughout his career no pride just honest expression from the pain he felt smh
You said a lot sweetie 👏👏👏
So sad
He fought them demons as best he could. r.i.p. DMX
@@pearlgenuine R.i.p X! The realist dawg to ever enter the game
I Strongly Agree..Funny u say that, becuz i just told my daughter today, DMX was crying out for help . how u could hear it n his voice
“I’m slipping I’m falling I can’t get up get me back on my feet so I can tear this sh*t up” - DMX
Baby lane made sure that tupac slipped, fell, and couldn't get up after he dropped him with his bullets too
They clone him now
This hits home
Sometimes I just got to set back and listen to this song ..I'm 40 and it still helps me with my breakthroughs. THANK YOU FOR THESES LYRICS X
He was speaking the truth my heart goes out to this situation
I almost cried when he said he didn't know if he created these spirits, if God gave them to him, or if they were born through his circumstances.
Jay Kaye me too..I cry every day...this is sooo hurtful..
@@monetmartin4718 if you've been there yourself, then you know. That pain that's still eating away inside, take it to God.
He was so in tune to self.
Bless his heart God gave it to him. You just have to be strong. What ever God do is good..he don't make no mistakes.
These are called djinn and they possess people especially in that industry. He even said he met the devil. And was scared.
There will never ever be a person like this man ever again. I do not think people will ever understand the power and passion behind this movement you just had to be there
Yes, we are blessed to have experienced his music in its prime. I'm grateful. He's definitely the GOAT after 2Pac to me
He used a lot of profanity BUT he was spiritual minded, agree with you 💯
Amen!

All this time I thought DMX was part owner of Ruff Ryders! He def made the brand!!
Me too.
They dirtball for how they did him. He made ALL they careers. If it wasn't for X there would be none of them, at least not on this level.
That was very disappointing to find out his not smh
Lol you not the only one. To me, DMX is a head of Ruff Ryders.

Damn. I miss DMX. He got me through a lot of rough times in life. I grew up in Group Homes and Jail and his words just talked to me.
🙏🏽
I miss him alot too and I luv DMX so much!😊
Watching this after his passing is even more profound. His life was really overwhelming 😔. To go from a place of no love to feel like people only love you because you are famous. That would be a ton for anyone. He literally broke down crying on stage.... I just pray for his family and others who run to drugs to escape. Life can be crazy but you are never alone. There is always someone who loves you genuinely. ❤🙏❤🙏
DMX should’ve started his own label !!!!!
#facts
He did it was called Bloodline but I don't know what happened. It just stopped.
I agree...it would've been even better than makaveli records 💪💪💪
I wish X's bloodline label was still here today. This may sound stupid but it was better than Jay's Roc Nation label IMO
Ryte his label would have been hott aswell right about now
RIP DMX. ICON TO THE INDUSTRY. LEGENDS NEVER DIE.
I'm glad we still have dmx hes a legend and one of the realest dude ever 🙌🏽
This is crazy to see today
Damn...reading this after his death. RIP Legend.
I'm praying for DMX/Earl Simmons. He is every one of us....Fighting to survive every day. X has his demons but he has a good soul. Please watch and protect him Lord. 🙏 🙏 🙏
Earl was a warrior who fought till the very end. He loved his family with all of his heart and we cherish the times we spent with him. Earl's music inspired countless fans across the world and his iconic legacy will live on forever.
We appreciate all of the love and support during this incredibly difficult time. - Please respect our privacy as we grieve the loss of our brother, father, uncle and the man the world knew as DMX. -
"Everybody knew Earl but there was another Earl," DMX👍
Dark Man X!👍🏾
That's why X and Pac always get compared. They always stayed associated with real people in the struggle, they didn't care about being flashy. They was really for the people💯💯💯
But x not a fruity feminine ballerina that bailed out of the ballet arts school to go get slumped by real crips in vegas...dmx for the win tho 🙌
@Sauce McAdams he should've gotten a sex change at birth for that matter lol
DMX didn't like Pac though
Cuz said “we kept X out of trouble and we spent a lot of money that didn’t get recouped” NIGGA every album went platinum and third went 6x platinum....didn’t get recouped man what!?!?!
360 deal
How could that have ever been said??!?!? No matter how bad off X was,or what trouble there was,I believe that man,Bruh! I believe that even blowed like the wind in Chicago, when X saw that they were serious,he went serious and intelligent...(but that’s just another person inside him!!keep him looking crazy,nobody gives credence)they didn’t know what they had, but He Did!! I’m thinking that they blew his aspirations off as a broken mans dreams...Out of 3 albums,2 Platinum albums, in the same year?!?!? And one that only went platinum 6 times! DaFuccHeMean recouped? Y’all recouped off the label’s buzz he generated, and M -iIllions of dollars!!!
I See now,GOD’S SON, exactly how.
@@kevinporter89 💯
@@kevinporter89 EXACTLY MY BROTHER...EXACTLY!!!
Rip X, man with struggles and Success. Now you are Free Brother
How many of these 'ride or die' people would have stuck by him, if he wasnt making millions for everybody? He knew that truth, and it only added to his pain.
None!
I have a friend like him and he reminds me of myself when your to well known everybody wants you 1 friend I have I would die for he never wanted anything from me I always shared with him because he was a true friend a father figure god bless DMX god rest his poor soul
DMX can't do no wrong. He's the best lyricist of Hip Hop / Rap that's ever been born. Much love to my dude my brother.❤
DMX IS UNDERRATED!
HE DESERVES MORE AWARDS!
THE MAN IS RAW & HONEST ABOUT HIS DEMONS!
Dark Mans legacy still is praised and well liked
This man never sold out. X is a Ruff Ryder G, a gangsta and a 🐐
That's a good thing for him salute DMX
Dmx is the goat while tupac is the pony
@Mkm why you and your feminine ballerina tutupac still crying that dmx blew y'all out ya tutus 🤣👯♀️🌈
@@dmxisbetterthantupac6528 true facts. X is the hammer and Pac is the nail
DMX is the reason why two parent homes should be encouraged. His deamons started in childhood.
THE INDUSTRY PLAYS A BIG FACTOR, WHY IS YALL OVERLOOKING THAT
Absolutely!
This man speaks to anyone who is honest with there self he has helped so many deal with addiction and pain
I ain't gonna lie, X in his prime made the audience feel energy like nobody else ever could make you feel.
Energy so thick and intense you can cut it with a knife. 💯💯💯
One of the best performers ever, any genre.
I miss the days when TH-cam wasn't horribly overloaded with ads. ☹️
Shit sad right
Get adblock to watch it
I just pay my couple dollar lol it is annoying though lol
Get bitchute or LBRY
Get TH-cam premium
DMX still inspirational to me his life, trials and tribulations man he a real one ☝🏿
Dmx > pac
Pacs weird fanboys are infested with pacs fruitiness in the comments 🤣👯♀️🌈
He realer than jay. Bc X is just a motivator, this dude taught us in his music how turn a negative into a positive. X ur the GREATEST!!!
@Mkm you and your feminine ballerina tutupac still crying about sharing danny boy 🤣👯♀️🌈
@Mkm your feminine ballerina tutupac bought you fruity flavored scented perfume 🤣🌈👯♀️
I grew up listening DMX, when you learn about the man behind the music you appreciate him more ... DMX Legend 🕊🕊🙏🏻🙏🏻 .
U can feel that pain thru the screen... I've met him on numerous occasions & this man is one of the most genuine persons I have ever met... This was so extremely painful to watch... FATHER GOD, PLEASE HAVE MERCY !!... He is that authenticity the industry desperately needs today... PULL THRU KING... UR NOT FINISHED YET
ABSOLUTELY 💯 THERESA
Ig God wanted him back home😔
This just reminds me of why DMX and ruff Ryder's were my favorites and still is
X already told ya, "the snake, the rat, the cat, the dog, how you going to see them, if you living in the fog, in the fog, in the fog, living in the fog, HOW YOU GOING TO SEE THEM IF YOU LIVING IN THE FOG" CLASSIC MESSAGE
We almost lost him. So happy he's here to tell HIS story. So happy he's surviving. Praying his recovery extends until forever.
Shame how it ended.
Ptl! God bless his spirit! I'm a 58 year old die hard Dmx fan and my heart is crushed and elated at the same time for him. And only a true Christian and believer would understand. God bless you X..See you soon!
Anytime a person makes a bad choice and starts to cry. It shows that they want to be a better person. He was crying out for that help. I just wanted X to realize that no one is perfect and he was well loved
These chronicles shine a new light on DMX for me. I've always loved his voice but now I have a deeper appreciation for the man.
Well wishes and blessing to X.
X was an ICON that no rapper can come against his lyrics is outta this world!
I find myself listening and watching this video while DMX is said to be on life support. Prayers go out to X, DMX, Earl, and all his family and love ones.
This movie was my intro, to DMX. I was 7 years old when this movie was released (2002). Over the last 19 years, being 26 years old now, I’ve made it intentional to listen to DMX’s music. His real life is felt through his music, and it was lived out in the public. His impact will stand, forever! Rest in power, DMX. - 4-9-21 - 💪🏿🤎
He couldn’t comprehend the fame at the time and still cannot. Most of us would struggle.
Love you X. You're a legend. You helped everyone in the hip hop community, at least one time in their life. You're appreciated forever!
He kept it real more than anybody else. X never disappointed
Dmx is even realer than 2pac
Dmx would brutally bodied rappers in the eqst vs. West era (including 2pac) too
@Mkm you and your feminine ballerina tutupac still crying that all the fruit loops got eatin by y'all bae Danny boy 🤣👯♀️🌈
@Mkm c'mon now bro. Both legends! Both crucial pinnacles in hip hop!
DMX is the soul of Ruff Ryders
Only a real man cries. RIP DMX ONE OF THE BEST RAPPERS OF ALL TIME TRULY MISSED NEVER FORGOTTEN🙏🙏🙏🙏
I agree 1000...his heart ❤ was broken on every level..and I believe that's how he passed..it's so difficult for me to watch him, because I just break down
He's been in deep deep pain for a very long time it shows in most of his videos he kinda seems like he was waiting for this day to be at peace he was living for others not himself he's been talking to God asking him to take that pain away my favorite rapper of all times his songs said it all truly going to miss you earl simmons aka DMX bless you I no u already have your wings and Halo 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Yes now he can finally REST..Rest in peace to that baby❤😢🙏🏾
The different faces and looks of DMX..Welcoming the new and improved EMX
Lmao two points for you 😂😂
@@yeliabdoowyllohx Thank you buddy. Now 98 more to go..
DMX spit that 🔥🔥
He was a talented lyricist that had a lot of demons in his life!!
Dmx > 2pac
DMX> Jay
@Mkm you and your feminine ballerina tutupac still crying that baby lane made y'all spit his bullets out in the ER silver bowl 🤣🌈👯♀️
He is.... not was.
"Artist blow up, and then they want a piece of the pie..." There are some Singles that gave a whole record company their seed money or stopped them from going bankrupt. DMX made 3 platinum albums in 2 years and he couldn't get a piece of the pie as the face of the label? :)
@Michel Schantz right without what the success of those albums they would have just be like a Frat House / Biker Group/ Small Business, not an established commercial company.
He stayed so humble and I 100% know what he met by someone like him having money is a blessing and a curse 💔
So happy to have watched this before the heart attack!! And all the chronicles!! BET, please, do this for more artist that are still with us today!! My prayers are with X
Slipping is one of my all time favorite from X.
X deserved to get a percentage
Business isn't about what you deserve.
@@willt8848 if he ain't happy he wont sign a new contract. Thus you havent heard of ruff ryders after eve n dmx
DMX should always be in the list of top M.Cs of all time!
Dmx is in my top 10 all time mcs
The DMX story is what I needed to hear because it gave me a better understanding of the man behind the music, and it was inspiring & heart felt at the same time.
I'm here after learning of DMX's untimely passing. This legendary rapper was born the same year as me, 1970. DMX seemed to be a troubled and conflicted man. May he now finally REST IN PEACE.
We love you, DMX. Living legend. From the 99s until now thank you for sharing your gifts. 💯
I don't think Tashera gets enough credit for taking him in when he was essentially just a homeless drug addict that no one wanted to take in. Imagine if she never opened her home after he was jumped: he probably wouldn't have lived to be as successful as he once was. And the sad part is, he had all those babies on her. I wonder if he regrets how he did her.
I agree, strong women very seldomly get the recognition they deserve. So sad
Tashera is a real one. That's the women we need, women that are strong. And more women like Tashera needs alot of props bc without her, it wouldnt be no X
@The R. Always and forever
@@blackbeauty_9288 its real sad. Ain't nothing wrong with a strong woman, Tashera is a hero, but i wish her and X were still together
Facts.......even during the "Marriage boot camp" you could tell she truly loved him but just wanted him to get help.......

God loves you DMX. I have empathy for you. I pray for you and your family. That you will be reborn and come back stronger and better than you ever been. So your Children and their children will know the incredible man you are. God bless you DMX. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Took me a long time to learn how to trust people enough to show any type of emotion. Still struggle this day. DMX music on so many levels spoke and did that for me. My goat and that will never change
Man DMX was a big part of my childhood ..he was definitely one of a kind..snoop said that X was the only one was was like Tupac he said that x was like Tupac reincarnated..love DMX he’s truly a legend of legends god bless his soul 🙏
RUFF RIDERS TOOK ADVANTAGE OF X, HE DEFINITELY DESERVED PART OWNERSHIP OF THAT GROUP BECAUSE IF IT WASN'T FOR X RUFF RIDERS WOULDN'T BE A HOUSEHOLD NAME
DMX was too real for the industry going to miss you big dog your music got me through some tough times still does rest G 🙏 you'll never be forgotten
RIP DMX I just got the news that you went home. Our Father in heaven. Wanted you to come on home. No more pain no more sorrow. My condolence to your family. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Dmx is the goat. Still listen to his music and he is so real.
The snake, the cat, the rat, the dog, how you goin see em if you livn in da fog?
X made the ruff Ryders lots of millions k mon u should have given this man a share of that company X deserved it he was RR hate it or love it
He would have ran it into the ground just like his life and family.
@@DJRenee no he would just have gotten his share of the royalties...silent partner should have been the deal.
Christopher Brown you h. ave to want it too. Corporate America is shady so you have to take what’s yours while keeping your composure he definitely deserves it. But with his temperament and his vices it is A LOT harder to demand such things
Just Suzie nah you tripping!!!!! After Dmx left the label there was no more ruff Ryders once you chop the head off the body will drop and Ruff Ryder label was the body...no dmx no Ruff Ryders. Dmx was to what JAY-Z was to Roc a fella
If you asked me I bet looking back I bet Dee and them wish they would’ve gave Dmx his % maybe X and Ruff Ryders would still be competing with Jay-z and the Roc
DMX was in so much pain it hurt me to watch...only God knows what he truly battled inside his heart and mind...he's at peace now...for all eternity with the Lord...rest peacefully Earl 🙏🏽
Niki..me too me too
Those songs were about those demons in his head he was a good man.
