In the end, it was only right that DMX’s public funeral would be a Very Special Sunday Service. As pointed out in GQ’s obituary, DMX put God in radio singles and No. 1 albums well before Kanye West did it with “Jesus Walks”—the prayers scattered across his albums, guest features, and live shows (including one he memorably lent to Coachella Sunday Service just two years ago) were often just as forceful, commanding and dazzling as his 16s. It was fitting then, for Kanye to bring his Black church tableau, wherein he re-works hip-hop, house, and R&B staples into gospel h...

DMX wrote his own obituary more than two decades ago: “Slippin’,” a single from his second album, 1998’s Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood, tells the story of a boy with afflictions who transformed himself into a rap star. The song starts with a psalm about suffering, then X shares his biography in three heartbreaking verses: His mom was abusive, his dad abandoned him, and he was forced into group homes and institutions.

"All I Feel Is Rain" Remembering DMX The crucial rap artist passed away over the weekend...

He was hospitalized on April 2 after suffering a heart attack following a reported drug overdose, and had been in a vegetative state, according to his manager. “We are deeply saddened to announce today that our loved one, DMX, birth name of Earl Simmons, passed away at 50-years-old at White Plains Hospital with his family by his side after being placed on life support for the past few ...

In a rough, rugged voice, one of the most unique in rap history, DMX painted his songs with brutal lines about his troubled upbringing and the effects it had on him as an adult. Over his three decades in hip-hop, he amassed millions of fans who gravitated to his vulnerability and filmic storytelling. The lauded rapper's tribulations often took the forefront, but paired evenly with them were X’s words of faith. One thing about DMX is that he always nurtured his relationship with God. Though he embraced the darkness, he often thanked the man upstairs for providing a light for him to follow o...
