@paullawson4736 You Described Alot Of My Life !!! I'm From Brooklyn, NYC And Had 2 Immigrant Parents, My Mother Was A Subservient Wife, My Father Abused Her & I Physically, Mentally & Verbally!!! My 3 Older Sisters Got Thee Mentally & Verbally Part So I Identifiy And Relate Too Your Living Nightmare As Well HARDBODY 💪!!! Thank You Cause You Helped Me Release It In These Few Excerpts 👊!!! Nice Too Hear Through Words Another True Survivor OOORAH GRRRRRRRRRR 👑 , God Bless You & All Of Your Future Dreams And/Or Endeavors ❤️🙏❤️
DMX took his troubled life and made it a testimony 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 He was a work in progress and he wasn't ashamed to say it! I love him ❤ May he Rest in Peace 🕊🕊🕊
Agreed.. He used his pain to be a motivational perspective for others. Had so much wisdom. As a young black boy running the streets in the 90s, his passion for expressing pain helped guide me thru life.
I have to say DMX looks REALLY handsome here. One thing I've always admired about him is the way he dresses. He never dresses formal but the way he wears casual clothing makes him stand out. "Oh, you think I'm soft huh?" "You need some?" LMAO!
i absolutely love me some DMX his voice and everything his character his mindset...evrything...he is so genuinely 100% he cant help it he is truly an it is what it is kinda guy .....no sugar coating no lies!
10:32 "When I was broke, I was happier." One of the deepest things I ever heard, to this day. It really says a lot about the industry and how sad and sick they been for a long time. Jesus even said in the bible that being broke values you way more than being rich. Real heavy🌹🌹🌹✝️🙌🏾
Damn imma miss this dude. R.I.P. Dr Drew did a good job on this interview. This was a more Compassionate interview that wasn’t as judgmental as the one with Iyanla and Dr Phil.
Anyone been on a binge of watching Interviews with X? I miss his voice and mannerisms, for me it was more because he reminded me of My father...May he Rest In Peace ❌
I love the integrity and honesty of X. He don't fabricate NOTHING! He wouldn't even butter up some fake lines when Dr. Drew asked him what he thought when he met the kid... He keeps it real.
he rapped about his pain past and present. letting everybody know he was slipping, falling and couldn't get up but he knew he had to and wanted to. he's real and honest and a human being. I hope he puts out one more record before it's all said n done
All these years later - he still makes me feel what he's been through. I literally pray for him. I pray he can stay in the light, and continue to shun the darkness. God bless you, X.
I wish I can take all of his hurt away. I wish he could just come live with me with the clothes on his back just to show him what real love is like. Not anything sexual just to be a friend. He has a great heart.
I really wish DMX the best,he has so many demons,but he is not the only Celebrity that has had a drug problem,Billie,Elvis,Dinah,Judy,Whitney,Michael,Amy and so on and on and on,so instead of vilifying him,uplift and be supportive and non judgmental about someone's life you Know nothing about
RIP dude I'm sad as fuck. I know the struggle. Everyone say the struggle real but nobody ever points out that the struggle never stop. I'm trying to get clean this just motivates me even more to get my fucking life back
all i can have for DMX is love for life and outmost respect cause he is truly a good man whose has been destroyed by the dark side , everyone who has any insight into that will know what i am talking about... :( my prayers are with you X...
The Lord will put u and certain situations jus to help u to help other’s praise the Lord 🙏🙌🙏🙌🙏🙌 DMX Keep ur head up u doing gd blessing to u n ur family
You can say what u want but X is a man for standing up for everything no matter if it was bad or good the devil might always be on his ass but god always got his back
you want to cheer him on. See him do well at the level of his previous success. Regardless we love him. We love his sober personality. His talent is immeasurable. Come on Earl, you can do this.
His mother denied his abuse allegations, she said he was a difficult child , rough and tumble boy who got in trouble a lot , she tried disciplining him but it only made him angrier.
DMX I cry ever time I see one of his real interviews. My daughter calls him my twin just based on the life he raps about. Minus the drug use the rest fits me. My heart still hurts for his lost.
I think his questions were to personal DMX felt uncomfortable , he doesn’t need to keep being reminded of his P.O.S parents & all the trauma, I felt bad for him, just hope he finds piece in his music & movies again, always a fan...💕
When they talked about beeting your children - DMX I think finally realized that Dr. Drew is no joke! Dr. Drew is a smart man and knows what he's talking about. Great interview!
That was 10 yrs ago since he was on Dr. Drew talking about his legal battles, drug history and staying sober. And now he's in the ICU fighting for his life after relapsing. This is just sad!! #PrayersforDMX Edit: Addiction to crack is a struggle to beat out of and takes a toll on everything you work for. DMX had lost that battle and my condolence goes out to both his family and everyone who are with the Ruff Ryders crew. 😢😢 #RestInPeaceDMX
Yeah you missed out met him and he was truly genuine I asked him to sign my paper and write never give up he asked me why I want him to write that and was truly concerned never got the chance to thank him
Lord give me a sign, One of my favorite songs from DMX! I know what he's going thru, I lived his life as far as growing up in an abusive home. I did not do drugs/drink or hit the streets but I do smoke cigarettes since I was 11. it was my comfort. Abused victims look for something they can control. I am 50 years old & the scars are still deep. DMX knows he's fighting demons within him & its a struggle. I completely understand his pain. We wish we could go back & change everything, but its too late. My mother is dead & I do not visit her grave. This gives me comfort. I would feel like a hypocrite if I do. Not everything is always about forgiving when the scars are there which pop up every once in awhile.
Man if you dont love x you dont love me that's how I feel bout it... r.i.p to the legendary iconic DMX one of the greatest and realists MC ever did it and kept it real
Good interview. This shit was real.. I didn't even grow up in a fraction of the bad stuff as DMX but yet I relate so well to growing up in struggle. Good to see a celebrity who came from the bottom and knows what it feels like to be in that situation.
back in the day no. but now he always come across as that crazy uncle with a colorful past who pops up in the crib uninvited, but you just cant help but love him.
Dr. Drew sounds like a text book. There is a difference between whipping and beating. I did not know any child in my neighborhood who parent tried to kill him. You do not negotiate with kids. They are in a developmental stage and needs someone to teach them. Too many parents trying to be friends and partners with infants and toddlers. These same spoil brats grow up thinking that the world centers around them. This is one of the very reason many grown folk act like spoil brats kids; they have to have everything their way.
+Straight Truth I was spanked and got 4.0 and graduated Summa Cum Laude twice. Your logic does lack, for it overlooks the "hands off" reasoning approach REAL white collar lawbreakers! Spoil brats not tear up our colleges and universities, they also drink and make horrible decisions. I lived with one while attending Minn State, and it was obvious no one whipped his butt as a child.
Go ahead and try and ration hitting SMALL HELPLESS HUMANS. I hope your daughters looks for the man you showed her was right, one who solves a problem with violence.
Many grow up to be spoiled brats because they are not disciplined at all. Imagine this! What if you negotiated and explained what the LITTLE FUCKING HUMAN did wrong and put them in timeout or take items away. Your fixing the problem in the short term, but you will see about it later in their life, around 12-14, when most respond with drugs, sex and such prematurely. It's like they have been taught to want a short term fix instead of long term planning.
He really needs a movie, a movie like 8mile or Straight Outta Compton.
First he needs to handle his drug habit.
+nizbt Rodriguez Yes seriously.
He workin on another Belly
Yea
Most likely won’t happen until he is dead unfortunately
Earl Simmons aka DMX is my heart and soul. I feel his pain while hear him speak and rap and pray. I will always and forever be his biggest believer
How you feeling?
I always say I’m not a DMX fan! I’m a believer n follower of Prophet X!
He made nothing out of something salute to DMX. No one can take away his Legacy.
lol switch it the other way around
huh?
+Alayne Staley 'He made something out of nothing'
+Alayne Staley oh lol
+Alayne Staley you made or nah I was just asking '. Matter of fact you should've never commented in the first place wtf is your profile pic 😂😂😂
Binge watching DMX interviews today.

+Jordyn Hackett RIGHT? I've been saying that for YEARS!
DMX took his troubled life and made it a testimony 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
He was a work in progress and he wasn't ashamed to say it! I love him ❤
May he Rest in Peace 🕊🕊🕊

Rest In Peace X
this guy was SOOOOO much more respectful to DMX than Dr. Phil & Iyanla Vasant were!!
i Actually Think he Just Made a CHOICE to be Respectful.... No Matter What, & that would in Turn, Calm down DMX (& Anyone Else)
0555pink DMV was more respectful to him from the beginning
Ariana Racquel yeah, but their wait times seem unreasonable.
Iyanla was with him for 3 days and she said they edited the video so he wouldn't look bad but DMX was almost 2 days late and came in trash talking her
He also was high on Iyanla
Dr. Drew is great. He pulled a smile outta X.
He's better than Dr.Phil who uses people for rating
I adore this guy! He can never do no wrong, 'least not in these eyes. Long live X! Kingston Jamaica and the Uptown Bx, reppin' X man.

D Graham I have no social media accounts! I know nothing neither do I wish to know about them.

Stay strong Earl. Stay strong.
He'll pull through. He's a fucking soldier.

DMX your the best brother a legend, this nearly brought tears to my eyes listening to your story and giving encouraging words to the young man.
E.M.B I cried. Everytime I hear his story tears come to my eyes
DMX was so real and accessible, he really lived his life for everyone else til his last day! RIP Legend
i absolutely love me some DMX his voice and everything his character his mindset...evrything...he is so genuinely 100% he cant help it he is truly an it is what it is kinda guy .....no sugar coating no lies!

The world needs more of him fr

I wish DMX still looked and talked like how does in this interview... fucking hurts seeing him in the state he's in nowadays :(
yes me too it really hurts damn
At least he did look and live good before his passing...RIP
Damn imma miss this dude. R.I.P.
Dr Drew did a good job on this interview. This was a more Compassionate interview that wasn’t as judgmental as the one with Iyanla and Dr Phil.
💯💯👑💪👍
dmx is one of the most powerful rapper of all time
Agree! he's a legend!
He at peace now.. he still lives legend
He's such a badass! Even though he spanks, at least he doesn't beat his kids. Makes me want to listen to some DMX right now.
Anyone been on a binge of watching Interviews with X? I miss his voice and mannerisms, for me it was more because he reminded me of
My father...May he Rest In Peace ❌
Good to see him on the right track, Keep your head up DMX!
I love the integrity and honesty of X. He don't fabricate NOTHING! He wouldn't even butter up some fake lines when Dr. Drew asked him what he thought when he met the kid... He keeps it real.
they laughing, but i think he is real about articulating his experiencing.
he rapped about his pain past and present. letting everybody know he was slipping, falling and couldn't get up but he knew he had to and wanted to. he's real and honest and a human being. I hope he puts out one more record before it's all said n done
Earl Simmons DMX is d Realest d best outta all d rappers after Tupac Shakur man.l feel you X.Love u for Life.Shania
All these years later - he still makes me feel what he's been through.
I literally pray for him. I pray he can stay in the light, and continue to shun the darkness.
God bless you, X.
Love X and if you don't then you don't know him!
Watching this breaks my heart. God has a plan for him I hope he realizes that before it's too late. I love this man my favorite rapper.

1:43 a white woman doing the "X" hand sign...laughing so hard man

DMX...one of the last one's left
TRUE LEGEND!
DMX was so handsome, intelligent, real, rest in peace 🕊️
Yeah he was a cutie I had the biggest crush on him when I was a teenager!😊
This is the best thing I've heard or saw all day
DMX I cry ever time I see one of his real interviews. My daughter calls him my twin just based on the life he raps about. Minus the drug use the rest fits me. My heart still hurts for his lost.
Dmx really makes me believe the heaven have a ghetto #Iconic
I think his questions were to personal DMX felt uncomfortable , he doesn’t need to keep being reminded of his P.O.S parents & all the trauma, I felt bad for him, just hope he finds piece in his music & movies again, always a fan...💕
I never realized how sexy DMX is. like damn
He's a Sagittarius. They're very charming.
He looks good as hell fine.....
I know he is a cutie!😊
When they talked about beeting your children - DMX I think finally realized that Dr. Drew is no joke! Dr. Drew is a smart man and knows what he's talking about. Great interview!
I truly admire his sense of humour 🙌🏽
That was 10 yrs ago since he was on Dr. Drew talking about his legal battles, drug history and staying sober. And now he's in the ICU fighting for his life after relapsing. This is just sad!! #PrayersforDMX

This is first time i would waste 20mins of my time to watch an interview of a rapper. Worth it
I know this was about 10 years ago but X looked very good when he did this interview. Love you, X!🙏🏾❤🙏🏾
living legend
This should be taught in inner city schools
He’s so meek n humble n hilarious 😂
Lol love it! DMX speaks truth.

He so fine 😍 I'm so proud of you him 🙏
~🦾🏆💡✨⚡⚡✨💡🦾
DMX, Jay Z & Nas should have a movie like 50Cent, Biggie, Eminem & Tupac...
His Rap-Artistry was too Legendary...
1LOVE
I want it too as a fan of X but I'm worried it'd suck! It's impossible to replicate his energy n who he was
dmx is one of my favorite rappers in all time
I have sympathy for him now.It explains his madness to a point.
Man we need this everywhere man
Man if you dont love x you dont love me that's how I feel bout it... r.i.p to the legendary iconic DMX one of the greatest and realists MC ever did it and kept it real
He's crazy... that's all🇰🇪
When I was broke I was happier.Atleast I knew people around me🇺🇸
Always HAVE & always WILL LOVE DMX! RIP DOG, #DOGS4LIFE#
Rest In Peace. One of the best who’s ever been in the game. 😔
Good interview. This shit was real.. I didn't even grow up in a fraction of the bad stuff as DMX but yet I relate so well to growing up in struggle. Good to see a celebrity who came from the bottom and knows what it feels like to be in that situation.
well its not like he really left the bottom
He looked good back then. Man if only he could've shaked those demons. RIP X
Love DMX - he has gone through a lot of pain. I hope he finds peace at this time and can maybe help others :)
"Why must Earl Simmons... swim in dirt?!"
X is a fascinating person, he reminds me of Mike Tyson where he is flawed, but still has that rage, but balances it with his articulate thoughts.
He's in denial so no matter how loved ones want him to get help it won't happen unless he gets it and start admitting his addiction.
Tru
Tatrice Flowers oh he admits it
He has always acknowledged he was an addict. Slippin is all about it
Much love for this man.
love dmx
back in the day no.
but now he always come across as that crazy uncle with a colorful past who pops up in the crib uninvited, but you just cant help but love him.
