DMX dead at 50

DMX was a one of a kind rapper. He was deeply flawed but very open about it. His emotion was always visible on the stage. His faith was always present in his music often rapping prayers to God. The only mainstream rap artist that I have ever seen where people cried and prayed en mass at his shows.
He was a drug addict. I had hoped that I would see him tour within the next year or so.
I will never get the chance but I am just a fan. I feel sorry for his 15 kids and the hectic legacy that he has left them.

FIFTEEN GOD DAMN KIDS??? Are you kidding?

No wonder he was on drugs. Man I tell ya he was probably ready to get out of that mess.

@CestManan His life could be described by some as "a mess" but the deep soul baring lyrics in his art were beautiful.
Alot of artists are flawed just as we all are.
Is there some correlation between the ability to feel and express yourself to others and not being able to keep your shit together?
Some would say yes.
