Dmx (Great Memories)

DMX

By: Cece Hymes

Earl Simmons, known as DMX, was a legend. I got a chance to read his book “E.A.R.L The Autobiography of DMX”. It was a great book, I learned more about his life and journey. Even though he had demons in his head he always would pray. He would give homeless people money; pray for everyone. You could tell he had a big heart. Did you know that he was the first artist to debut an album at No. 1 five times in a row on the Billboard 200 charts? Here are some of the movies he played in:

·         Belly, Romeo Must Die

·         Exit Wounds

·         Cradle 2 the Grave

Some of my favorite songs by him:

·         X Gon Give It to Ya

·         Ruff Ryders Anthem

·         What these Bit**** Want

·         Slippin

·         Lord Give Me a Sign

·         What’s My Name

·         Get at Me Dog

DMX was a beast, and he would rap or go against anyone anywhere.  He had a hard childhood and life growing up. He had a big impact on Hip-Hop. Some of his quotes that I liked are:

·         “I just find myself happy with the simple things”

·         “Anything that’s not positive, I don’t have the energy to focus on it”

·         “I know I may have done some bad things, but I’m not a bad person”

Make sure you check out his book, it is really good. What was your favorite moment of DMX? What was your favorite song? Drop a comment below also follow me @Cece.atl
