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
