The world was devastated as we waited to hear what we already knew was coming. The passing of one of Hip Hop's greatest and most beloved M.C.'s, rapper turned actor, DMX...
On April 2nd at 11:00pm, DMX was rushed to a hospital in White Plains, New York, where he was reported to be in critical condition following a heart attack at his home possibly resulting from an overdose. The next day, his attorney confirmed DMZ was on life support stating that DMX suffered oxygen deprivation to his brain as paramedics attempted to resuscitate him for 30 minutes.
Born Earl Simmons, Simmons' former manager said he was in a "vegetative state" with "lung and brain failure and no current brain activity." The doctors scram to run test on his brain's functionality activity which would allow his family to "determine what's best from there"
Today, sadly it was reported that Simmons had lost functionality in multiple essential organs, including his lungs. Simmons was pronounced dead today at the age of 50.
It is one of the saddest day Hip Hop history. DMX was well know for keeping prayers in his music but he also rapped a very dark life, which is why his initials was DMX standing for Dark Man X.
We lost a great one today and this one hurts.
