Those first 2-3 DMX albums were awesome.   Also DMX was a rapper that fans of other genres liked even though they weren't big on hiphop.    I remember going to a concert with him/Limp Bizkit/Godsmack when I was a teenager at the old Charlotte Colosseum and he put on a pretty good show.

First two albums I ever bought were ...and then there was X and chronic 2001. 
 

he had a ton of demons and I hope he’s at peace now

 

Addiction sucks

Can't believe even Pat Robertson had a tribute to DMX on The 700 Club.

Talk about crossover appeal...

This song came out in 1997 .. here is DMX verse ..

"..Twenty four left until my death
So I'm gon' waste alot of lives, but I'll cherish every breath
I know exactly where I'm goin', but I'mma send you there first
And with the poo that I'll be doin', I'mma send you there worse
I've been livin' with a curse, and now it's all about to end
But before I go, say hello to my little friend
But I gots to make it right, reconcile with my mother
Try to explain to my son, tell my girl I love her
C-4 up under the coat, snatch up my dog
Turn like three buildings on Wall Street, into a fog
Out with a bang, you will remember my name
I wanted to live forever, but this wasn't fame.."

From 1997 to 2021 is 24 years .. DMX says 24 left until my death .. when these artists sell their soul to the devil they know their expiration date ..

Also, the movie Belly .. within first 20 seconds of film, DMX says he sold his soul to the devil and the price was cheap.

this song was fire
