His life may be in shambles right now but once upon a time he was dropping hit after hit.

Certainly you can’t think DMX without the barking, “my dogs” , agression, sometimes hoarse and gritty voice. Even through all that Alpha mentality he brought a sincerity. There was emotion which is probably what led him to getting his acting roles. When he said the few words at the begining of the Miss you video you believed and felt every word.

Some artists put on an act that separates their true self from the performances they do. I don’t think DMX ever showed anything but his true self, nor do I think he ever held anything back.
