The death of DMX hits hard for many people. To me, the best hip-hop lyrics are when the artist is speaking about what they know best.
If it’s a Jay-Z joint, I want to hear stories about drug dealing and paper stacking.
Chuck D = political activism
Snoop = cannabis
MnM = “complicated” family issues
But unfortunately for DMX, he was always at his best when he spoke about his personal demons.
I hope in death he finds the peace he never found in life.
“To live is to suffer, and to survive, well, that’s to find meaning in the suffering.”- DMX
