Rapper DMX: I’d written him off as being a loser, but now I’m not so sure

Via: dirtygurl.wordpress.com



DMX was once one of the top artists in the rap game. He had definitely possessed more talent than a lot of rappers that came in the nineties. I don’t know what happened; but all of a sudden you started to hear about how he was on drugs, and crazy, and breaking into airports, and stealing cars and what not.

I’d written him off as being a loser crackhead, but now I’m not so sure. Listen to this interview with DMX, and hear what he has to say about the industry. I think he makes reference to Jay Z when he says that you wouldn’t find him at the club throwing “it” up, and made me laugh when he was talking about the deejays.
