Quote:

In the video, which appeared on Twitter, DMX, whose real name is “Earl Simmons,” can be seen in the corridor of a hotel, preaching up a storm.

“God had his hand on me since before the womb,” he declared. “I didn’t know what that meant until I read the Bible — I am a warrior for the Lord!”

Then, all of a sudden, it goes a bit sideways.

“I will f*** you up in the name of Jesus,” he barked. “I had to hit the bottom, just so I could bring everybody up.”

He is like a pitbull.

Who want to bet on how long it'll be till he's back in?

Was going to post this example of fine journalism in the funny pictures thread but here is appropriate:

DMX is testament to fact that raw talent means nothing without discipline, cunning and delayed gratification.

Lame half-rappers like Diddy are worth half a billion while talent rots in prison. Same goes for every type of human endevour.

Wish him luck but my money is on he'll be back in the pen within half a decade tops.

[Paracelsus]

So X goan give it to you in unmarked bills from here on in?

You're right. I knew it was one of them lol

Aww shit! It's on now! You know an album is coming soon. He was likely sober and writing rhymes non stop in there. That new Lil Wayne album is legendary, so I expect similar for a new DMX album. Long layovers for legendary rappers usually gives good jams. Scarface, Shyne, UGK, etc.etc. When rappers take long breaks the next album or 2 will always have some serious heat in them.

[Leonard D Neubache]

It'll be interesting to see if a year in the clink has changed his rather outspoken views on homosexuality and crossdressing.

I don't think any label in this day and age is going to carry him if he keeps it that real.

[DarkTriad]

Amazing artist but at 15 kids the Child Support alone will put him in jail soon.

[ShotgunUppercuts]

I wish luck for the brother. He still has fans so im sure he can still make some decent money.hopefully he stays sober and hit up the gym.


Had to get that in before the fuckery starts.

[Wutang]

He's slipping, falling, but he's getting up

The 90s in rap music were amazing, and I've discussed it in other threads... rappers could say anything. DMX himself had lyrics about raping 15 year old girls in front of their fathers, Eminem talked about killing gay people. Now, well, the entire music industry is completely homogenised to the point of, well, pointlessness.

That said, DMX was never very talented. He was one of the round pegs that the music industry tried to fit into the Tupac shaped hole after he died. Of the commercially successful guys; Eminem, Jay, Nas, Wayne, and Drake are the absolute standouts since Tupac and Biggie died. And of those, not all (for me) are particularly talented - of course I mean Drake ha.

The 90s seem to have the best rap but a lot of the stars like DMX who were immensely popular got shafted due to Bad Timing. Rappers now with a tenth of talent his talent and eyes glued to him have much more monetary success.

I just wiki'ed his long ass wrap sheet. I don't think he'll be able to not break the laws for his 3 year supervised release. He needs another album release to break even with back taxes and child support for his 15 kids. Pushing 50 and having a drug habit I doubt he can pull it off.

Bruv, you cannot be serious with this part here. Dis dude has gone platinum ~14 times! Any rapper that goes platinum at least once is talented. Now is he the most talented MC to ever grace the wax? No. But he is at least an A Tier rapper if the ones you list (maybe minus Drake) are S tier rappers.

[Mr. D]

Here’s to hoping he’ll stick to his guns.

Soulja Boy went platinum

He talented too! He made a somewhat cheesy and corny song or whatever, but dude is still talented as a young man!

Show of hands.

How many of you ever bought or listened to local street rappers and they sounded so bad, that you felt like you were locked up in Guantanamo Bay and they were playing Nickleback on repeat for 24 hours? Guys with like an 5th grader's vocabulary?

Lots of dudes try their hand at rappin. Literally millions them SUCK worse than Soulja Boy.

There are battle rappers galore. Niggas can write everywhere if you look around. Yours truly was a battle rapper when I very young. Even if you got bars for days, that does not mean you got stage presence, style/swag, great delivery, can make great hooks, move a crowd, or even ride a beat well in the studio. There is alot more to rapping aside from just pure lyrics.
