DMX broke through in the late ’90s with hits like Ruff Ryders’ Anthem, and It’s Dark & Hell Is Hot and had one of the most recognizable voices in hip hop. In this TMZ on Tubi doc, Harvey Levin, Charles Latibeaudiere and Towanda Robinson discuss the impact of his music and persona on pop culture and how his death in 2023 continues to impact fans.
“All I know is pain, all I feel is rain
How can I maintain with that shit on my brain?”
So much of DMS’s raps are in my brain years after he said them. He was a conflicted person, someone who couldn’t escape drugs but who would help people. There’s a great story in this about him helping clean at a restaurant long after he became a big star.
DMX’s life was a series of intense highs and lows, a struggle he wore on his sleeve. He rose from a brutal upbringing in a New York that felt like a war zone at the time, enduring hardships that Harvey Levin describes as beyond words.
