Never heard of him, but this is so often the result of a fatherless home. His father was possibly in jail or dead from some nefarious reason. The actor Denzel Washington, a black man, was quite right when he talked about fatherless homes in the black community, three times more prevalent than only decades ago. The fate of most blacks in this situation will never change no matter how much government money is thrown at them. Here, listen to Denzel yourself (less than two minutes):

Though I don't know him or ever heard his music. He will be greatly missed by many.

DMX was a complicated and imperfect man. I don't think anyone can argue about that. But I appreciated his honesty in regards to his life and music; you never felt like he was playing games or hiding things. We could all probably learn from his example about being more open about our own personal demons and struggles.

Sad and a very talented artist, but his continual drug use was catching up with him and I knew it was a matter of time, so I'm not THAT surprised, I feel also bad for his kids and what they must be going through just gut wrenching.
RIP

Being a deadbeat dad is major uncool too. Isn't it funny that he named himself after a model of drum machine?
Goodlucktoyou
At least his life was not as boring as mine. Today, cutting the weeds in the garden and watering my flowers. Just to live one week in his shoes would be so amazing.
RIP

Every time people thought he was going to turn things around, something else happens. He had that Verzuz battle vs Snoop last summer and had people excited about his new music reuniting with Swizz Beatz.

I understand we all have vices, but animal cruelty doesn't sit well with me.

R.I.P. Dark Man X. You create an entire generational movement back in the day. Your struggles have been well documented and now you can rest.

RIP. Still a better end for him as compared to that of my favorite rapper 2Pac.
