article image placeholderDMX, gravel-voiced hip-hop star who topped charts in late '90s, dead at 50
Hey, everyone, news just broke that the rapper DMX has passed away at the age of 50. Dmx was a complicated human being, full of beauty and incredible artistic output and also a lot of demons that he was battling throughout his life. This is a sad day and way for him to have left this Earth, but rest in peace. Cmx will keep listening to your music and thinking of you and I'd love to hear from all of you what your favorite DMX song is

Get At Me Dog. That video was fantastic. The use of metaphors and rhymes in that is really Savage. And he really was somebody that people took notice of when he dropped that single because he came out of nowhere. The MX rest in peace. I know you're wrapping up there for the Angels, brother

@bowie. Rip DMX ❌🙏🏾❌

Dmx definitely was young and we lost him too soon. I do not have a favorite song of his that I can pick out, but I did want to share that. There was an interview shared recently on social media with him where he talked about a mentor he had as a young person at the age of 14 and how he didn't smoke and didn't do drugs

RIP DMX

So despite selling 74 million plus albums, I am not aware that he didn't acknowledge his source, the source of his strength. So if you haven't heard Lord Give me a Sign, then you really need to hear the spirit of a warrior and you'll understand how he fought all those demons, how his music helped so many people that more successful. Richer voices like Russell Simmons could say the same thing to gang members. But when DMX came and said it stuck. It mattered

@JeriWonder 🙏🙏🙏

There's over 5 million listings, and I love thinking about everyone out there listening to song, connecting with DMX and his lyrics and bringing so much positivity and hope and energy to their day because of what he created and what he loved. So thank you for reminding me of that. And since you think of you, bye
