Remembering DMX

Born Earl Simmons, DMX was a rap legend whose late-’90s run was all but unparalleled. On albums like ‘It’s Dark and Hell Is Hot’ and ‘Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood,’ he channeled his pain through raw and honest lyrics. Last Saturday, following a week in a coma, he passed away. Now, hip-hop mourns his loss and celebrates his legacy.
