Aunt Jemima's Revenge: The Sad Fall Of DMX

Saturday, January 31, 2009

I know he brought it all on himself, but damn. This boy produced some rap lines that really spoke to me. I hope he can get himself together.

GoldenAh, February 1, 2009 at 12:33 AM: No pity or sympathy for him. I liked his style of rapping. However, I've always felt that anyone, especially a number of rappers and comedians, expose their self-loathing with excessive use of "niggas, bitches, hoes...."

Profanity has a time and place, but it's also an example of an unclean, cluttered, and debase mind. I have a few classic hip hop albums and tapes, back when the DJ was king, and folks rarely cursed.

I think the only one who could make cursing sound profound was KRS-1.

Whether or not he brought his current troubles on himself through profanity or the thug life is not the issue. The issue is that he needs help. I can't condemn and convict him for "stupid" decisions because I have made some stupid ones myself...nothing to do with drugs or the thug life BUT...There but for the grace of God, go I.

The day that I cannot look at another and at least hope and pray for the best for that individual is the day that I deserve nothing less than I have subjected to others.

PEACE.
