9 Things You Might Not Know About DMX







DMX remains one of my favorite rap artists of all time. I love rappers that do this rap thing from the heart, and not just play around with it. I think we forget hip hop heroes so fast. Someone new drops a hot album, and people are quick to name him the greatest rapper of all time, forgetting the many that have released multiple great albums in the past. I think that is unfair to rappers like DMX that (even though he isn't what he once was) put in so much work at his peak...having 5 albums, back to back debut at number 1. on the Billboard albums chart, and all attaining platinum status isn't something to be overlooked.


Today, I decided to write an article celebrating this great man, and letting the new rap listeners know about some dope rappers that came before the Meek Mill's, the Drake's, and the Lil Uzi Vert's. I am going to list 9 things you might not know about Dark Man X (DMX)...the good, the bad, and the ugly. So...here we go again...


Classic Hip Hop Pic: Mobb Deep, Nas, and Raekwon

Check out this classic hip hop pic from the mid 90s...Mobb Deep, Nas, and Raekwon in the studio. Havoc and Raekwon are standing behind, while Prodigy and Nas are sitting (I'm not sure if Nas is sitting or squatting). Can you identify what Rae has in his left hand? lol!
