Trust me i know, i got hooked by a female. I try not to use n dont want to use it but its somewhere in my mind that i keep asking God to take it away. This drug ain't like heroin, weed or anything else u know of. Its the most addicted drug i know of...i tried getting help but people don't believe me. Addiction will always be apart of an addicts life because we will always be addicts wither sober or not...it just takes one event that cause someone to relapse... Don't question someone or judge them if haven't even be there urself yet still don't judge someone. An addict would probably be more of a friend than the ones u got.

    What a wicked evil thing to do to someone. My uncle did this to my brother when he was about the same age. He’s doing better now after spending over a decade of his life in prison. He knew my mother was sick And paralyzed and yet he did this. I pray for people like this all the time.

      For people like that is why I believe in eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. The bible says we don't and shouldn't have control over the others' life, but if the referred person is damaging lives, do we take the same route? I'm an angel in heart, but couldn't stand shit like that. When we understand or try to understand evil and why people do it, it only causes more rage inside. Addicting others to shit, just cuz you are hooked too, or to make money off them, raping, abusing phisically (aggression), everything's related to selfishness and control and only shows weakness in the person. Some say never act in a vengeful act, cuz life takes it's own course, but we also have a shitload of examples where that ain't true and a 'helping hand' would make a good difference. I feel such rage as to the way we're built as a society, that if I could arm myself as a bomb using what I feel as ingredients, I could blow up a whole fucking country. Look out for you and yours, but look out for others too, some people obviously don't deserve shit, but you never lose nothing but time by trying once. Choose the good motherfucking path, yes it's harder, and you might not die rich, but atleast you die happy with what u did with life. Peace to you and yours who deserve it.
      May X rest in peace and may his suffering teach even more people than it already did, I really loved him and hoped good for him, man it hurts and at the same time feels weird to miss and feel pain for someone you don't even know, that just means what he did in life meant something important.

Next thing you know you haven’t slept in 2 days. You start ignoring everyone because you’re embarrassed and ashamed, but the cycle continues. I feel blessed I have some sort of control right now while my addiction is in it’s early stages. I catch my self all the time fight an urge or telling myself I don’t need any of that shit. I really did have DMX’s albums as a young kid in Chicago. I heard The Great Depression on my Walkman over and over again. It’s dark and hell is hot. Now I’m 27 living in LA, and X is in a coma.

DMX thank you for your realness, for being raw, unapologetic, transparent and just real. You may have struggled with your addiction but lyrically you painted a life of Art in how you dealt with life. You were a real MC, not this mess they are doing these days in the rap culture. I will miss your prayers!!! Rest well DMX, Earl Simmons.

    1993, me and my best friend since kindergarten were fresh off a lick and counting up. I had been away in the military for 4 years, returned and jumped right into the streets, At the time I had no clue he had started using cocaine while I was away .He opened the baggie took a blow, then offered it to me. Now I grew up in a household with a parent who became a crackhead and up until that day had never been pressured to indulge. I scooped a small amount into my pinkie nail. Right when my finger reached my nostril my friend punched me in the face harder than I had ever been struck in my 22 years. Then said "If I ever hear of you trying this shit anywhere anytime I'll personally come kill you!!" 28 years later and I've never tried cocaine, heroin, ecstasy,molly, percs, zan's, or nothing else. He's been gone since 97 and all these years later I still thank him for that one day. Rest in paradise to both of them 👑👑

    I never thought DMX would make me cry. In the past couple months he's made tear up a few times.
    Recently I teared up out of happiness hearing him on the track You ain't got shit from the new LOX album. It was really nice to hear his voice, like he was an old friend I hadn't talked to in a long time. Then I watched the video and teared up seeing X just standing by with the LOX and then stepping forward to spit his verse. Been banging that track hard and frequently lately. Tearing up to see and hear DMX back on the scene.
    So now DMX has me really crying and not just tearing up and it's outta sheer empathy and sadness for the brother and just one tragic scar from his childhood. I'm just coming down from crying as I type this while it's paused at 4:58 out of the 10:37 video. I haven't even finished the whole thing yet. I just rewound a minute and showed my wife and she was tearing up too. I instantly was reflective and told my wife how much it breaks my heart that children grow up with that kind of an environment and how grateful I've always been to have been blessed with a very sheltered upbringing as a child. I grew up in a Mormon household and didn't see smoking drinking or drugs until I was a teenager going out. I started smoking Ganja at 16 and have been all about herb for 24 years now. Because of that I only ever kicked it with and been tight homies with people that are mainly only smoking herb and occasionaly mushrooms if they doing anything. I'm 40 and I've never even seen anyone shoot up, abuse pills, smoke rock and have only seen people sniff blow twice, once being the one and only time I tried it. I don't like being around people drinking and have avoided bars and alcohol culture. I have had no more than 30-40 alcoholic beverages at the very most in any given year of my life. I’ve never been to an AA or NA meeting and so I've never really seen or heard things like this in person before. I feel like DMX just made me cry with a scared straight kinda vibe, like he's reaching out to the kid in me and telling me to watch out for that kinda stuff and those kinds of people.
    As a father of two young children my heart breaks for the brother DMX. I see the hurt young child that is Earl and how and why he became the DMX that we know and love. I cried for Earl and all he trauma he's experienced in his environmental upbringing that no child should ever have to see or experience.
    This is full interview is going to be insanely powerful when I hear it in its entirety. This has already been heavy and I still haven't finished watching this 10 minute clip.
    Give thanks to Talib Kweli and Jasmine for talking hip hop culture and for talking realness. This interview was healing for me, gonna be healing for plenty of people and most of all I hope it helps DMX heal. I feel like this may have been the most he's ever opened up like this.
    To all yall brothers and sisters reading this comment, thank you for your time. Peace, love and understanding to the world. Aloha
