Earl Simmons aka DMX
From a early life riddled with drugs and violence to an even tougher life which was later filled with multiple visits to jail, a sporadic music career and countless other issues, we're lucky that DMX is even alive today. From his hey days as one of the most emotionally intense rappers to ever grace a mic, to a former shell of the artist we all came to love in the late 90s and early 2000's; I think we've all wondered what happened to the man known as X. In this Vh1 Behind The Music special DMX breaks it down from his mouth, his life as it was then to his life as it is now. Powerful stuff.
