RIP DMX

[Steinmetzify]

Dude had issues and wasn’t the best human being but he was exactly what the game needed after Tupac died and we got the feel good plastic rappers.

Spent many good hours doing everything listening to FOMF and IDAHIH.

Thanks for all the bangers man.

This is strange, the initial reports said he had a drug overdose heart attack, but his family are saying it was the coronavirus vaccine he took that wound him up in the hospital.

Anyone find out which is which or will this remain a mystery?

[facefirst]

At least he died doing what he loved - cocaine.

Dude knew how to throw down
He had me all acting a fool up in here

Latest reports I saw was dope/heart attack.

Fuck it we should all be so lucky

Dude knew how to throw down
He had me all acting a fool up in here

I gotta make a move and make it soon
I gotta take a block and make it boom
I take the car and hit it with this boom
Now come on, let's get that money

The dude just could not kick the bad habit

DMX was the big rap guy up here in NY area in the late 90s early 2000s or so, he lived about 15 minutes away and i bumped into him a couple times, very chill talkative friendly dude for sure. His songs will live on as he made his mark in hip hop

DMX was in jail 30 times[70] for various offenses, including robbery, assault, carjacking, animal cruelty, reckless driving, driving under the influence, unlicensed driving, drug possession, probation violation, failure to pay child support, pretending to be a federal agent, and tax evasion.

1986-1988
DMX was first sent to prison in 1986 after stealing a dog from a junkyard. He was sentenced to two years in the juvenile unit of Woodfield Prison in Valhalla, New York. However, just weeks after starting his sentence, he and his cellmate successfully escaped the prison and DMX returned home until his mother forced him to turn himself in and finish his sentence, which he did at the McCormick Juvenile Detention Centre in Brooktondale, New York.[1] Simmons was sent to prison again in 1988 for carjacking, and was later moved to a higher security prison after attempting to extort a fellow inmate for drugs. He was released in the summer of 1988.[1]

1998–1999
When officers of the Fort Lee Police Department executed a search of his home in 1999, DMX promptly surrendered himself on weapons possession charges.[71]
DMX faced a 1999 animal cruelty charge in Teaneck, New Jersey after a dozen pit bulls were found at his home there;[72] the charge was dismissed after the performer agreed to accept responsibility and record public service announcements for an animal rights group.[73]
2000–2005 Metro NY
In 2000, DMX served a 15-day jail sentence for possession of marijuana.[74]
DMX served another jail sentence in 2001 for driving without a license and possession of marijuana. His appeal to reduce the sentence was denied; rather, he was charged with assault for throwing objects at prison guards.[75][76]
In January 2002, DMX pleaded guilty in New Jersey to 13 counts of animal cruelty, two counts of maintaining a nuisance, and one count each of disorderly conduct and possession of drug paraphernalia. He eventually plea-bargained down to fines, probation, and community service and starred in public service announcements against the dangers of guns and animal abuse.[77]
In June 2004, DMX was arrested at the John F. Kennedy International Airport, on charges of cocaine possession, criminal impersonation, criminal possession of a weapon, criminal mischief, menacing, and driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, while claiming to be a federal agent and attempting to carjack a vehicle.[78][79] He was given a conditional discharge on December 8, 2004, but pleaded guilty on October 25, 2005, to violating parole.[80]
On November 18, 2005, DMX was sentenced to 70 days in jail at Riker's Island for violating parole; the lateness charge added a 10-day extension to the original 60-day sentence.[81] DMX was released early (for "good behavior") on December 30, 2005.[82]
2007
In 2007, DMX's home was raided on reports of animal cruelty.[83]
2008–2011 Arizona and California
On May 9, 2008, DMX was arrested on drug and animal cruelty charges after attempting to barricade himself inside his Cave Creek, Arizona home.[73]
DMX pleaded guilty to charges of drug possession, theft, and animal cruelty stemming from an August 2007 drug raid as well as the May 2008 arrest, at a hearing on December 30, 2008; he was sentenced to 90 days in jail on January 31, 2009.[84][85][86]
On May 22, 2009, DMX entered a plea agreement/change of plea and pleaded guilty to attempted aggravated assault in jail.
After serving four out of six months for violating drug probation, DMX was released from jail on July 6, 2010.[87] That day, a television pilot was filmed to portray his road to recovery; however, DMX was arrested three weeks later and the pilot did not evolve into a series.
On July 27, 2010, DMX turned himself in to Los Angeles Metropolitan Court for a reckless driving charge he received in 2002. He was sentenced to serve ninety days in jail.[88][89]
On November 19, 2010, DMX was arrested in Maricopa County, Arizona on charges of violating probation for a February 24, 2009 aggregated assault on an officer while he was incarcerated. On December 20, 2010, DMX was moved to the Mental Health Unit of the Arizona Alhambra State Prison,[90] and released on July 18, 2011.[91]
On August 24, 2011, DMX was arrested for the tenth time in Maricopa County, this time for speeding, recorded at 102 miles per hour (164 km/h) in a 65-mile-per-hour (105 km/h) zone, reckless driving, and driving with a suspended license.

On August 20, 2013, DMX was arrested again in Greer, South Carolina during a traffic stop after a car he was a passenger in made an improper u-turn. He was arrested due to an outstanding warrant for driving under suspension. Four packages of marijuana were also found in the vehicle, and he along with the driver were cited for them.[95][96][97][98]
On November 4, 2013, DMX was again arrested by the Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport police near Greer, South Carolina after police, who were familiar with his prior arrests, noticed DMX behind the wheel of a vehicle at the terminal. DMX was booked on charges of driving with a suspended license, having an uninsured vehicle, and driving an unlicensed vehicle. He was subsequently released after spending three hours in jail.[99]

On December 14, 2015, an arrest warrant was issued for DMX after he missed a court hearing to address child support issues with his ex-wife Tashera Simmons and their four children.[103]
2017–2019: Tax fraud conviction
In July 2017, DMX was charged with 14 federal counts of tax fraud.[104] Federal prosecutors charged him with failing to file income tax returns from 2010 to 2015 (a period when he earned at least $2.3 million). DMX pleaded guilty to a single count of tax fraud in November 2017.[105] DMX was originally free pending sentencing but was remanded to jail in January 2018 after leaving a drug treatment program ordered by the court and relapsing with cocaine and oxycodone.[106] In March 2018, Judge Jed S. Rakoff sentenced DMX to one year in prison followed by three years of supervised release. The court also ordered DMX to pay $2.29 million in restitution to the government.[105] He was released from prison on January 25, 2019.[107]

Yeah, there ya go. Ain’t gonna “celebrate” his death, or say good riddance, but despite being a solid rapper with some decent tracks, that ain’t enough for me to say or feel anything other than Dude is dead, and that’s that.. He wasn’t exemplary or someone who corrected his mistakes very often.

Again whatver... Pieces of Shit with talent exist everywhere, just another one

[IndyWS6]

He was once arrested for animal cruelty. Assuming it was a legitimate complaint, that's all I need to know to not care at all about his death....

yeah exactly this. No good riddance from me either but I would be lying if I said I was even slightly upset about his death.

What are the details of the "criminal impersonation"?
