Used to listen to this after my little brother died. Dropped out of college, gave up on music, caught a couple felonies, been living so fucked up and never got mental help, had a baby boy right before I got that ankle monitor and went on probation, now I’m free and a senior in college and have a beautiful little girl and boy about to graduate. X, this song got me through
My condolences I lost my baby brother also I know how you feel. LET'S KEEP THEM IN OUR HEARTS, ONE PLACE THEY'LL NEVER LEAVE. MUCH BLESSING TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY...
Who here in 2024? It’s so sad DMX lost his struggle with drugs. He went through some pain as a child and he always carried it with him. Smh. I wish he was able to beat his demons. 😢
Stay strong brother keep fighting I know there are days where you probably don’t want to but we have to struggle to survive keep your head up I’ve never had cancer but I was born at 24 weeks premature weighing 1 lbs. 3 oz. having my body infected with a parasite all in my blood and I almost died was going to die but I chose not to I chose to live the will to live is a lot stronger than what Doctors think
Prayers. Hes one of my favorite rappers. I grew up listening to him. His music got me out of alot of aticky situations.. Prayers.. God please forgive him and make him rcover.. The WORLD ALWAYS NEEDS THE X
As a man struggling with my own demons, I can't even tell you how deep this hits home. I hope anyone reading this never has the misfortune of understanding this song on the level that I do.
Ayo keep fighting till the end! There are moments in life waiting to be found, . beautiful stunning moments that show us why we are still here! Go out and get it!
While I haven’t been subjected to the same things DMX was when he was growing up, I continue to battle demons associated with witnessing and being subjected to some of the things that come with witnessing/being around heavy abuse of alcohol, crack cocaine and other drugs on the part of Kevin; I refuse to call him “dad“ or anything similar. My brothers and I witnessed and were around things no child should endure. He already had a volatile temper, the drug abuse only intensified it and he could be quite scary when set off. I know of at least one occasion when he laid hands on mom, he got physical with us as well and was also very mentally, emotionally and verbally abusive. That’s putting it simply; it would take me far too long to really go into it. While I haven’t gotten hooked on drugs in an attempt to cope, I still battle those demons every day and no I will for the rest of my life. I’ve been getting help for it, though. In short, yes, I do connect with this song on some level.
Damn X. This track was literally this man's life. He's easily top 25 because he was one of the few who actually lived what he spoke about. Rest in peace to the dog.
He was from Mount Vernon like me!! Growing up in the 90s!! Great times! I also been to neighboring Yonkers and been to his block school street. He used to hang out at apple bees in Mount Kisco , NY about 50 miles north of NYC. Great memories great songs great rapper! Rest In Peace DMX we Gen X won’t forget you! Legend!!
@@BlackMamba92233 yeah I'm just praying for him and I never pray. He was doing so well. My ex messaged me because we both loved Its dark and hell is hot
To an opened minded music listener, could you refer one metal album for the ear that grew up mostly to hip hop, that needs to be heard by everybody. I love music, I love Black Sabbath and Deftones etc. but I’m looking for the pinnacle of each genre. What would you refer to me!?
Used to listen to this song everyday when I was in college. When I felt like quitting I'd listen to it. Thank God I graduated from undergrad 22 years ago
You have no idea how much this song got me through some tough times. My favorite joint from him. Even now when shit gets rough I listen to this song and I feel like I can get through it. It's weird...but that's hop-hop, and that's DMX.
Both my Father and Dmx passed within the same week of each other. Both very great men who achieved miles of foundation for their families. Both silent and strong with traits of an addict. I really do recognize the struggle that comes with the habits. Rest In Peace kings.
RIP to, both your father, AND DMX. I lost my dad in 2014, and I just lost a friend, who was way more like my older brother on August 31st. It took me years to process the grief of my Dad's death, but when I finally came to terms, I lost someone who was basically my older brother...most my friends are dead, now but I've never lost a friend who was this close to me till now. I pray that both your dad AND mine, as well as DMX and my brother (from another mother) are all in paradise now. Our earthly life is only temporary.
@@Stanley.77 thank you brother. You be in the best headspace and find that happiness again. So much heart and soul gets lost in the process of grief. It is our own journey to find ourselves again. Even in the smallest sense. Cause it could mean something major in the bigger picture. Much love and thank you for your reply.
Crying my eyes out listening to this. Just knowing where X came from and all that he’s accomplished makes this song hit different. I hope he pulls through!
First song I thought of when I heard he got hospitalised after an overdose. Get well soon X! R.I.P X!! Thank you for the powerful voice and wisdom that inspired many individuals. Your legacy will live/love on forever. Rest easy king!
No longer with us, but X’s voice will live on for eternity. This song was for everyone that has seen darker days yet found a way to rise up from the abyss. 🙌🙌🙌💯💯💯💯
It was his time let us be thankful for the work and sharing his soul with us rest easy and I hope he’s at the peace he’s always deserved in this world of hate
As a man who's facing felony criminal charges for a mistake I recently made which I wont go into too much detail but the money makes you turn a monster mentally... I appreciate this comment. I await my preliminary hearing next month, I am staying strong. I needed this too and defintely will be praying to the man upstairs for forgiveness and strength. Stay strong soldiers, life goes on no matter what... One love.
My father died some years ago. He was my best friend. This song forced me to reflect and helped me survive. Thank you DMX. To all those in the midst of drug abuse, and addiction for the wrong reasons or whatever reason, keep pushing forward.
He fought drug addiction; which was forced upon him as a child. Trying to fight for sobriety. While making magnificent music. What a strong man. I salute you DMX 👈. 💯
@@redshift912 bro I hope you live a good life. I hope you never make a single mistake and that you receive everything you ever wanted. Whenever or if ever you have a kid I hope that you be there for that little one cuz only then will you know what this guy went through, if you can’t understand that bro honestly take your negative bullshit somewhere else.
When he started saying I'm slipping I'm falling I can't get up I visualized him in a hospital bed on life support and I an a 51yr old white man who loves Dmx I cried like a lil boy laying in bed this morning
Same.. plus other things i got going on just kinda can't help bt to tear up.. I've always took a liking to him and his music.. just makes it all the more sad & Wt i got going on doesn't help this phonk' i was already in.. just one of those things ig.. im cool I'll b alright.... Can't believe I'm even still alive rn Never got into drugs like tht but.. yeaa.. this shit get crazy.. was way too young to b going thru the shit i was going thru.. n music always kind of brought me to another place, sometimes u just gotta let tht shit go... Feed our mind differently..
I just heard the bad news about Earl today and told my sister about how this song got me through my toughest period. So if you're are here, then we understand and are thankful for this song. Thank you X
Tears for this brother who was truly gifted, a real human, and genuine person who tried to rise above in spite of the hand he was dealt. RIP Earl Simmons...
I really feel this song right now, because I too, myself, have the same type of issues that my dude 'X' was going through his entire adult life. I absolutely understand him saying he is slippin' but just can't get back up. But he knew that he had to get back up and make something of himself, and not be known as the once great person, but now you're just the 'hood junkie.'
Just completed a 20 year sentence and this brings the memories I had went through I lost many but gained a tough mind n heart and will regain my life bacc
If you have kids even more together with the next verse: If I'm strong enough I'll live long enough to see my kids doing something more constructive with their time...
I know you'll never be able to read this X but I just wanted to tell a piece of my story. As a child, my father was in and out of my life, battling crack addiction. He got locked up 3 times and each time had to do several years in prison. I remember finding myself resenting, hating my father because of what his addiction was doing to our family. I cut him off completely because I got tired of hurting, tired of the addiction coming before us. Years passed and he kept reaching out to me. I would talk but very little because I was scared to let him back into my life for fear he'd just relapse or that I'd lose him forever. Each time I talked to him, he kept saying that he was 3 or 6 mos clean. I never believed him so I stayed my distance. A few years ago, he had a bad OD. My brother found him foaming at the mouth, barely breathing. He called 911 and my father was transported to the hospital. His organs started shutting down and he died on the table. Miraculously, he was resuscitated and survived. Since then my father has been clean. He hasn't had any relapses and has gotten himself together. He bought a home, has a job in construction and is doing great. I thought I would lose him but I lost my mother instead 9 years ago at the age of 45 and she never did drugs in her life. My father is a great guy who is battling an addiction. I've seen firsthand how drugs can turn the strong into defeated beings beyond their control. Although our relationship is a lot better than it used to be, the years of drug abuse has taken it's toll on our relationship. I have a deeper overstanding of how drugs take over your mind, body and spirit than I did as a child. I no longer hold his addiction against him. It's challenging not only for the addict but their loved ones too because we are going through the addiction right along with you. I've seen my father do things as an addict that I'll never forget. I say all of this because your song, 'Slippin' really got me through some tough times. You and my father are a lot alike, even close in age. I really hope that you now have the peace that you couldn't possess here on earth. And I am sending your loved ones positive vibes and energies in their time of need. Addiction effects us all, especially your immediate family. We often don't have an outlet to express our hurt and anger because everyone's attention goes to the ones who need it most, the addict's. I wish your loved ones got to be with you in health just one last time. Now, I'm going to call my father and tell him that I love him and how proud I am of him. I appreciate all the art you've done over the years, from one artist to another. Long live your memory. Rest in power, X. Your weary soul deserves it.
I salute your spirit for sharing. It seems as though when people enter a storm or traumatic circumstance in their life, others cannot tell just how close to the center of it they are to the Most High. Though the outer looks like a complete disaster it all apart of their plan, but most importantly know it was also orchestrated by the One true power. The whole time the Most High had X right in the center with him. The one thing that concerns me is when, we find peace in any other vice outside of ourselves. Through our journey once we finally receive inner standing then only will we have overstanding. -Thank you
Bumpin this till they stop making speakers!!! 💯❤👑.....Love these comments. Everybody reading this just know that You are Loved and Im glad YOU all are still here and standing thru all the BS. Shout out to DMX for making such a powerful song💯💯💯👑👑👑❤❤❤
I'm listening to this because I've been through the fight and still fighting .Ran the streets 23 yrs drug free Now single father raising my kid's full custody two boys with autism.and I still Got hurdles to jump but with God he will see me through.
Im proud of u bruh' !!! Ive been a single-parent since 2001 ...I now have one @ CSUmontereybay and one @ Antelope Valley College ... Stay strong black-MAN !!! 💯💯💯
This is more than music… this is a saving grace. Salute to those of you that live with pain. Just know, it’s gonna be okay. RIP the the legendary Dark Man X ✊🏾
This man suffered a lot in his life.. sad so very sad he passed away. I pray to god he has found his peace now. May his soul Rest In Peace . You are no longer in pain my man, you are with the angels now. Rest easy
So sorry please live for your friend. So do what he wanted but could not do, live, and love without limits. Try to stay away from stressful situations as your friend would not want you to be with him so soon. You have a lot of great work to do and good to give!
This song should be a reminder and inspiration to everyone who be slippin out there. Learn from the Top Dawg. Honour his memory by straightening ones self out.
Everything about this song is perfect. The feeling of sorrow and isolation combined with X's voice. I can't believe how much I cried listening to this song. Thank you DMX for making powerful music that spoke to people's souls. I know you're in a better place.
I wonder if I'm the only one right here crying like a baby reminiscing to when I first heard this song? I remember where I lived, what I was going through at that time and what my dreams were then. This song got me through a lot of tough times and I pray that X is at peace now and hugging on his Grandma. R.I.P X 😭
DMX.... I'm praying for you Earl. you're in the hospital right now fighting for your life, and I'm listening to this song for you. Because you made it. I pray you get back on your feet so you can tear shit up.❤️
They shot my nephew in the face last night. Shattered his jaw bone. Praise God he is alive. Today I have 103 days clean. I can get high or drunk but it's not gonna solve anything or help my nephew. Thank you X for this song. It saves me time after time. I love you for that.
I feel your pain hope he's ok,my son got shot in his face too luckily it went through one jaw and shattered the other ,this happened about two months ago,hes talking and being his old self,hes good now physically,congrats on you sobriety!!
Sorry to hear. I will pray for him 🤲🏼 DMX truly awesome his lyrics get you in the heart the music I am speechless wow heard this a long time ago I downloaded it keeps me in focus and I hope it will for you peace.
To everyone who says “well he shouldn’t have done drugs” it’s obvious you’ve never been through an addiction... it terrifies me because I know how easy it to relapse I’m not defending his drug use I’m just... hurt and understand his pain rest easy x
I used to be a coke head man... almost 5 years doin it everyday. Been clean for 4 years now. Thing is, if I see it in front of me, specially while bein drunk, I know I won't resist. Relapse is real. RIP X
When thousands of people can flood back to a 20+ year old song because of the hospitalization news, that lets you know that this song touched a lot of people and praying for the best for DMX Prayers up to Earl Simmons
I'm just a mid-30s white dude from a middle upper class neighborhood in Philly. But I've dealt with severe anxiety, ocd, and panic since I was a teenager. And this song has always been so on point to what it's like to feel alone and sad and beaten down. Listened to it through hard times since 1998 when it came out. I wish they still made mainstream rap like this shit. - RIP DMX
Dont class yourself as white whatever brah we all Gods children!!! We all go through it color is only Gods love for variety!!! Real talk dont ever bring race in anything is just a tool of the devil!!
I never was a X fan bcuz I just didn’t grow up listening to him. But listening to that first verse for the first time literally had me crying as a 29 yr old… Too bad he’d already passed b4 I got hip 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 God bless him
Ok I didn't grow up listening to dmx either I grew up listening to dmx later on in life you can still be a fan of dmx if you listening to him later in life
Man. I'm 41 been up and down all my life. Everytime I get up I slip into some more bs. But I keep getting up and this one been with me for over 2 decades my go to song. Love you, dog. Please don't die today.
I was driving down the street bumping this track the day DMX passed away and a stray, brendel colored pitbull randomly started running on the side walk next to my ride for a few blocks. It gave me the chills and gives me chills again writing about it. Rip big dog💪✝️.
I was listening to DMX interviews and VLAD interviews with people who've done music with and knew DMX for the majority of the day yesterday and early afternoon today a brendel coated pit bull ran in my back yard. Listening to Slippin tonight and seeing your comment made me remember this. His spirit is definitely powerful and lingering.
As a father of a 3 year old son with disability I feel this song after years since listening for the first time. It hits me right in the feels. My son is my purest treasure and I will not miss a minute of him, I am excited of every little step he makes, anything he will learn. Even though it seems to be normal for everybody else it is a an absolute challenge for us and every step forward means the world to me. It is slipping, falling, getting up and proceeding..little by little, day by day...much love from one of a tired father..usually we try best hiding our feelings to not seem weak...Bad habits, love your loved ones..
I know how you feel, I was 14 and this definitely got me through some dark times. It definitely feels like an important part of my childhood was has been crushed. Never been one to feel for celebrities bit this one hit different.
Facts bruh in high school. I had a high school crush.. we became very close, my best friend.. then she played dis song for me, now at first I didn’t like I thought it was wack.. but as we got older, the feelings between us changed.. then she left.. but years later after high school( I’m like 20 21) I came back to dis song somehow.. but when I listened I was like wow mane.. dis song had hit so hard to me it’s like he was talking str8 to & describing my story at the same time.. even tho me and her don’t talk anymore I’m still grateful to have met her & for putting me on dis song💯
@@chicago_kid672 It's cuz his story is sad, black people who listen to hip hop abandon any black people that have legit drug use issues but nowadays cheer for fake rappers who talk about getting high like it's cool and don't even do it themselves.
I was 12 yr now 33 when this man hit top!!! I had every album me & my 13yr brother. In November lost my brother and now dmx. My son 13 now and i cried walking in on him last night fuckin jamming to the ruff Ryder's anthem!!!! Teaching young men and women threw his lyrics. Im amazed just thinking about it. ( fuck im getting older)
My son is 2 and he Is fighting for his life 🙏🏾 💔 plz pray for him
Prayers for him and for you as well to have the strength to stay strong for him. 👉💪💪💪👈
I will

Prayers to your family my brother

Used to listen to this after my little brother died. Dropped out of college, gave up on music, caught a couple felonies, been living so fucked up and never got mental help, had a baby boy right before I got that ankle monitor and went on probation, now I’m free and a senior in college and have a beautiful little girl and boy about to graduate.

I will always love this song.....but really the intro is the best......
Its "to live is to suffer"
Aloha SnackBar I cant find the meaning of the suffering no more

I appreciate this comment. I await my preliminary hearing next month, I am staying strong. I needed this too and defintely will be praying to the man upstairs for forgiveness and strength. Stay strong soldiers, life goes on no matter what...
One love.

This is one of the most underrated songs of all time
It's underrated now but it wasn't back then
This song is still hot in 2019 & 4evr, only a real player can understand this shit.
This song wasn't underrated when it came out. Younger generations don't appreciate the greats.
Facts
It's hard to be under rated when he's one of the best ever.
That ending tho “X babyyyy”
Hits hard bro. Rest in peace X
facts! gave me the chills
My father died some years ago. He was my best friend. This song forced me to reflect and helped me survive. Thank you DMX. To all those in the midst of drug abuse, and addiction for the wrong reasons or whatever reason, keep pushing forward.
RIP TO YOUR FATHER ,BUT THOSE WORD'S addiction isn't always a choice MAKES SENSE💯
am sorry for loss am scared to loss my father everyday
Show him love now because we all have deadlines💯
❤️
Thanks and am
He fought drug addiction; which was forced upon him as a child. Trying to fight for sobriety. While making magnificent music. What a strong man. I salute you DMX 👈. 💯

He passed this morning 😭😭
Probably shouldn’t have had 15 kids .. sucks he never figured shit out , For him and for his kids
@@redshift912 bro I hope you live a good life. I hope you never make a single mistake and that you receive everything you ever wanted. Whenever or if ever you have a kid I hope that you be there for that little one cuz only then will you know what this guy went through, if you can’t understand that bro honestly take your negative bullshit somewhere else.
Pray for X man
He’s slippin and fallin right now
He needs us to help him get back up
Prayers and loves

One of the realist most underrated rap songs alive. The realist cry for help in the game
Steven 😮
When he started saying I'm slipping I'm falling I can't get up I visualized him in a hospital bed on life support and I an a 51yr old white man who loves Dmx I cried like a lil boy laying in bed this morning
Hit me a certain way as well. This is the first song that came to mind when i heard the news.
I agree this is the first song that came to mind, DMX is a legend hes kept me going since the 90s and this song has saved my life before!!!
Same RIP X
Agreed i just got news he passed and it hit me hard.
You've got other issues bro
Dmx is a living legend. I pray he wins is battle with addiction, so he can back on his feet ,and tear shit up.
All Damn Day
💖💝🙏
Amen!!

I can’t even listen to this song without crying. You will TRULY Be MISSED 💔
Real shit. Letting the tears roll as I bump right now. Brings out all the past pain and tribulations to light.
Glad I’m not the only one.
RIP to the Dog
Same.. plus other things i got going on just kinda can't help bt to tear up.. I've always took a liking to him and his music.. just makes it all the more sad
& Wt i got going on doesn't help this phonk' i was already in.. just one of those things ig.. im cool I'll b alright....
Can't believe I'm even still alive rn
Never got into drugs like tht but.. yeaa.. this shit get crazy.. was way too young to b going thru the shit i was going thru.. n music always kind of brought me to another place, sometimes u just gotta let tht shit go... Feed our mind differently..
im crying with you sis.
this song always made me emotional, can't even describe how it makes me feel now
Finally realized he quoted *Friedrich Nietzsche*
"To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering".
RIP DMX
Thank u for that fact
😲😇
I just heard the bad news about Earl today and told my sister about how this song got me through my toughest period. So if you're are here, then we understand and are thankful for this song. Thank you X
Me too
On some real shit bro
U know it very heart broken
Tears for this brother who was truly gifted, a real human, and genuine person who tried to rise above in spite of the hand he was dealt. RIP Earl Simmons...
Rest in Paradise to my main man!
I really feel this song right now, because I too, myself, have the same type of issues that my dude 'X' was going through his entire adult life. I absolutely understand him saying he is slippin' but just can't get back up. But he knew that he had to get back up and make something of himself, and not be known as the once great person, but now you're just the 'hood junkie.'
Ooh...this song...prayers up for all of us trying to reach the surface and breakthrough in this present day struggle. W 💜u, X!🙏
Just completed a 20 year sentence and this brings the memories I had went through I lost many but gained a tough mind n heart and will regain my life bacc
Welcome home
Keep your head up , brother
@@ejaicook5182 preciate it G 💯💯💯💯
Congrats My G time to rekindle dat flame 💯
wish you all the best, 💖💝🙏
“I’ve been through mad different phases like mazes to find my way, now I know that happy days are not far away.” Hits different as a grown man! RIP X!
If you have kids even more together with the next verse: If I'm strong enough I'll live long enough to see my kids doing something more constructive with their time...
I know you'll never be able to read this X but I just wanted to tell a piece of my story.
As a child, my father was in and out of my life, battling crack addiction. He got locked up 3 times and each time had to do several years in prison.
I remember finding myself resenting, hating my father because of what his addiction was doing to our family. I cut him off completely because I got tired of hurting, tired of the addiction coming before us.
Years passed and he kept reaching out to me. I would talk but very little because I was scared to let him back into my life for fear he'd just relapse or that I'd lose him forever. Each time I talked to him, he kept saying that he was 3 or 6 mos clean. I never believed him so I stayed my distance.
A few years ago, he had a bad OD. My brother found him foaming at the mouth, barely breathing. He called 911 and my father was transported to the hospital. His organs started shutting down and he died on the table. Miraculously, he was resuscitated and survived.
Since then my father has been clean. He hasn't had any relapses and has gotten himself together. He bought a home, has a job in construction and is doing great. I thought I would lose him but I lost my mother instead 9 years ago at the age of 45 and she never did drugs in her life.
My father is a great guy who is battling an addiction. I've seen firsthand how drugs can turn the strong into defeated beings beyond their control. Although our relationship is a lot better than it used to be, the years of drug abuse has taken it's toll on our relationship.
I have a deeper overstanding of how drugs take over your mind, body and spirit than I did as a child. I no longer hold his addiction against him. It's challenging not only for the addict but their loved ones too because we are going through the addiction right along with you.
I've seen my father do things as an addict that I'll never forget. I say all of this because your song, 'Slippin' really got me through some tough times.
You and my father are a lot alike, even close in age. I really hope that you now have the peace that you couldn't possess here on earth. And I am sending your loved ones positive vibes and energies in their time of need.
Addiction effects us all, especially your immediate family. We often don't have an outlet to express our hurt and anger because everyone's attention goes to the ones who need it most, the addict's. I wish your loved ones got to be with you in health just one last time.
Now, I'm going to call my father and tell him that I love him and how proud I am of him. I appreciate all the art you've done over the years, from one artist to another. Long live your memory. Rest in power, X. Your weary soul deserves it.
I salute your spirit for sharing. It seems as though when people enter a storm or traumatic circumstance in their life, others cannot tell just how close to the center of it they are to the Most High. Though the outer looks like a complete disaster it all apart of their plan, but most importantly know it was also orchestrated by the One true power. The whole time the Most High had X right in the center with him. The one thing that concerns me is when, we find peace in any other vice outside of ourselves. Through our journey once we finally receive inner standing then only will we have overstanding.
-Thank you
🙏🏾
Don't know u but I got love for u and yours 💯
Man, fuck all that noise!
@@QaAse Likewise..only high vibrations in our journey.

My homie died a few months back, I wish he didn’t let the stress of life get at him but he did. Love all y’all out there, never stop!
Ima run a lap for your man.
Stress is the resson I'm playing this song on repeat
@@smkruhm check nip hussle stress out.
So sorry please live for your friend. So do what he wanted but could not do, live, and love without limits. Try to stay away from stressful situations as your friend would not want you to be with him so soon. You have a lot of great work to do and good to give!
Sorry bro keep his spirit alive like only u know how one love
This song should be a reminder and inspiration to everyone who be slippin out there. Learn from the Top Dawg. Honour his memory by straightening ones self out.
True story my brother...
💯💯💯
Everything about this song is perfect. The feeling of sorrow and isolation combined with X's voice. I can't believe how much I cried listening to this song. Thank you DMX for making powerful music that spoke to people's souls. I know you're in a better place.
Praying for DMX you've helped a lot of people with your music. We love you ♥️🤟🏻
😢
Praying for you DMX 🙏
Exactly what I’m saying.. after beating addiction myself I really feel for him with this one.. 🙏
I remember my mom crying to this song I had to be 6 or 7 and it was forever a sad song to me. I hope you have peace now X 🙏🏾
🙏😭
Rip X, genuine person who battled demons.
X was one of those pioneers that changed music. A true legend Rip
Also still jamming in 2024
RIP X we lost another legend today
Salute to Dmx!!! Rip to my dog. Rest easy. No more pain.
My heart is heavy about this...🙏🙏🙏
This song is going to be more painful to hear now!
First thing I saw when I got on Instagram was the posts everywhere saying R.I.P Dmx ... we are losing some good people! I hate that it was this soon
Rip. Dmx. 🎶🎼🎤🥃🥃😔😥🙏
I wonder if I'm the only one right here crying like a baby reminiscing to when I first heard this song? I remember where I lived, what I was going through at that time and what my dreams were then. This song got me through a lot of tough times and I pray that X is at peace now and hugging on his Grandma. R.I.P X 😭
You're not alone
Same baby same
I’m right there with you
I'm in tears now man
The world is in tears rip dmx
DMX.... I'm praying for you Earl. you're in the hospital right now fighting for your life, and I'm listening to this song for you. Because you made it. I pray you get back on your feet so you can tear shit up.❤️
Amen🙏🏽
I listened to this a few times today. This my favorite DMX song i can't wait to hear he's OK
I remember the whole neighborhood was blasting this album when it came out. I really hope he makes it. DMX was different. His energy was crazy
DMX OWNS THE TITLE AS “KING OF HIP HOP”, R.I.P. TO THE “KING OF HIP HOP” DMX.
They shot my nephew in the face last night. Shattered his jaw bone. Praise God he is alive. Today I have 103 days clean. I can get high or drunk but it's not gonna solve anything or help my nephew. Thank you X for this song. It saves me time after time. I love you for that.
I feel your pain hope he's ok,my son got shot in his face too luckily it went through one jaw and shattered the other ,this happened about two months ago,hes talking and being his old self,hes good now physically,congrats on you sobriety!!
I'll pray for you and your nephew
Man fuck that. Go get high. Shit doesn't matter anyways
Sorry to hear that may you tab into God's blessings that he has for you 🙏
Sorry to hear. I will pray for him 🤲🏼 DMX truly awesome his lyrics get you in the heart the music I am speechless wow heard this a long time ago I downloaded it keeps me in focus and I hope it will for you peace.
To everyone who says “well he shouldn’t have done drugs” it’s obvious you’ve never been through an addiction... it terrifies me because I know how easy it to relapse I’m not defending his drug use I’m just... hurt and understand his pain rest easy x
Facts, worse part is if his blunt wasn't laced with coke he most likely wouldn't have tried the harder stuff in the first place
I used to be a coke head man... almost 5 years doin it everyday. Been clean for 4 years now. Thing is, if I see it in front of me, specially while bein drunk, I know I won't resist. Relapse is real. RIP X
He was let down from the time his mother birthed him. Bless his soul
@@gutobup proud of you man, same here April 16th 1 year without it brother
His fam Said he was clean. They said he didn't die from overdose. They addressed that
This music is healing to a broken soul.
You need more likes and comments tru shit
Real shit
Expelled energetic magnetic reviver lives of life of souls tryna breathe beneath to reach a top
I AGREE 😢
U got that rite
R.I.P. DMX I know you're happy to see Aaliyah
This is a good song and prayers to everyone who is battling issues
Thank you brother💪🏾💯❤️
Word up
hearing this knowing he’s gone hits different. rest in peace DMX
I listened to this on the way home from work. You're right, it sure does
😔🙏🏿🌹
When thousands of people can flood back to a 20+ year old song because of the hospitalization news, that lets you know that this song touched a lot of people and praying for the best for DMX
Prayers up to Earl Simmons
NO DOUBT 🙏 🙏 🙏
Amen.
I never stop listening, x for life
Good word
I'm just a mid-30s white dude from a middle upper class neighborhood in Philly. But I've dealt with severe anxiety, ocd, and panic since I was a teenager. And this song has always been so on point to what it's like to feel alone and sad and beaten down. Listened to it through hard times since 1998 when it came out. I wish they still made mainstream rap like this shit. - RIP DMX
Me too 1998 sixth grade for me and X got me thru some tough times too My boy
Dont class yourself as white whatever brah we all Gods children!!! We all go through it color is only Gods love for variety!!! Real talk dont ever bring race in anything is just a tool of the devil!!
This song helps me out a lot bro, keep listening to it yo, it helps.

Rest in peace man i feel this to my soul
I never was a X fan bcuz I just didn’t grow up listening to him. But listening to that first verse for the first time literally had me crying as a 29 yr old… Too bad he’d already passed b4 I got hip 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 God bless him
Ok I didn't grow up listening to dmx either I grew up listening to dmx later on in life you can still be a fan of dmx if you listening to him later in life
Man. I'm 41 been up and down all my life. Everytime I get up I slip into some more bs. But I keep getting up and this one been with me for over 2 decades my go to song. Love you, dog. Please don't die today.
Some the worst times of my life I related and found hope with this song. So sad. One of the hardest ever. You will be missed.
Dam man x . aka DMX rip my brother 💯💯💯🙏
Hey Rick 😒
I was driving down the street bumping this track the day DMX passed away and a stray, brendel colored pitbull randomly started running on the side walk next to my ride for a few blocks. It gave me the chills and gives me chills again writing about it. Rip big dog💪✝️.
Wow bro!🙏🏾❤️❤️ I caught the chills reading this fr!!!…🙏🏾 it’s a sign
R.I.P earl (DMX)
Divine intervention
I'm crying .. damn, we lost a good one
I was listening to DMX interviews and VLAD interviews with people who've done music with and knew DMX for the majority of the day yesterday and early afternoon today a brendel coated pit bull ran in my back yard. Listening to Slippin tonight and seeing your comment made me remember this. His spirit is definitely powerful and lingering.
As a father of a 3 year old son with disability I feel this song after years since listening for the first time. It hits me right in the feels. My son is my purest treasure and I will not miss a minute of him, I am excited of every little step he makes, anything he will learn. Even though it seems to be normal for everybody else it is a an absolute challenge for us and every step forward means the world to me. It is slipping, falling, getting up and proceeding..little by little, day by day...much love from one of a tired father..usually we try best hiding our feelings to not seem weak...Bad habits, love your loved ones..
Dennis
I was 16 when this album came out. I listened to this song when I was depressed. RIP DMX. part of my childhood is gone forever.
I know how you feel, I was 14 and this definitely got me through some dark times. It definitely feels like an important part of my childhood was has been crushed. Never been one to feel for celebrities bit this one hit different.
He was facing 5 years in prison..... his lawyer played this for the judge and he only got a year.
Let that sink in.

And been thru some shit and now have kids and u need to get it together yup this song buts things into perspective
I was a young dude. Who got bullied. And this song helped me through. Anyway
Facts bruh in high school. I had a high school crush.. we became very close, my best friend.. then she played dis song for me, now at first I didn’t like I thought it was wack.. but as we got older, the feelings between us changed.. then she left.. but years later after high school( I’m like 20 21) I came back to dis song somehow.. but when I listened I was like wow mane.. dis song had hit so hard to me it’s like he was talking str8 to & describing my story at the same time.. even tho me and her don’t talk anymore I’m still grateful to have met her & for putting me on dis song💯
Nothing better than seeing your kids doing better... Songs can make you feel a type of way, this one does
