    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

    The Autobiography of DMX

    This book was a good read. I love that DMX was so real and told his story just the way it was. You never know what people are going through. The demons that they are fighting. I think it always start of the way you were brought up. Those childhood memories and hard times in life. Its so sad that he was very smart and just wanted to be loved from his family.

    Everyone needs help sometimes but once you have an addiction it’s so hard to break loose and not go back to what you know so well. No one is perfect he done a lot of people wrong with the stealing, robbing etc. He believed in God and prayed for everyone. He took from people and then turn around and help people, fed the homeless gave them his last if he could.

    I really think once you live that fast life, the entertainment world your life speeds up. So much you see and do because of what you around. The fame you can’t just be you anymore everyone is watching your every move once you in public. You must take the good with the good and bad with the bad. This book showed me that he had a rough life as a child that when he became an adult, it was already so much of life he has seen. One thing about DMX is he never gave up he pushed and pushed. Through a broke jaw and all he loved his music.

    I can say that DMX was always him as I seen in public and reading his book, he robbed but never covered his face. He did what he had to do to survive. It was wrong but that’s what he learned at an early age. He made great music that we can relate too. So much he was fighting but who are we to judge this man.

    R.I.P. to DMX the legend his music will always be within us. Glad we were able to see him on Versuz sharing his music with us against snoop. The memories will be with us forever. One thing for sure is that we all need to tell our loved ones we love them and help them while they are here. Time is short and you never know when it is your time. These last couple of years we been having a lot of death that has ben unexpected.

    If you are a fan, make sure to check out the book and learn a little more about his life and who he was. I really enjoyed it and wish nothing but prayers to his family and friends. Remember to give people their flowers while they are here.
