1. That is sad

he was a talented man.

He had children, I feel for them.

[MichMan]

A lot of grieving going on with the 15 children and their 9 mothers

[Bettie]

17. 5th best selling rapper ever, 5 straight number 1 albums (main chart not just rap) almost 6 straight

Was in lots of movies, 2 of them great (Belly and Romeo Must Die)

[CrackityJones75]

14. Wow. Classy.

[Cuthbert Allgood]

20. I get rap may not be your thing

but he was HUGE in the rap world. A significantly major artist.

But, yeah, good one.

24. I swear to God when Dylan dies I'm gonna be like "Who? Some oldie?"

Imagine that folks can just let people mourn without having to throw in their two cents. Fuckssake.

[Elessar Zappa]

[Progressive Lawyer]

10. Stop, drop, shut 'em down, open up shop Oh, no, that's how Ruff Ryders roll

[greenjar_01]

23. Just teared up

What an anthem!

Rest in Power DMX!

[Solly Mack]

13. :(

[Rustyeye77]

15. No one knows the cause...

but you got to think drugs may have played a part.

[Zeitghost]

18. I believe

It's been reported that this was from an OD a few days ago.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

19. Drugs never come out of nowhere. For DMX, it was on top of generational trauma, poverty, poor health

care, toxic religion, physical and emotional abuse, systemic racism and the prison industrial complex. The fact he achieved so much after starting behind the game from day one is a testament to his talent, drive and heart.

16. RIP
