I’m white man in my mid thirties who was a, “white boy” growing up in the south during the 90’s. My first music genre of choice was obviously 90’s rock and metal. All the typical bands you could think of. Furthermore, I was raised by a mother and father which were both natives of Yonkers. The same city in which X was from. Being introduced to rap music in late elementary school. I loved it just like I did the rock music of these times. Moreover, I can assure you that not just X and rap music itself, but this song specifically played a pivotal role in changing my own life years later in early manhood. At 24 years old, I was at rock bottom myself. It was time for me to man up and fix my life. I’d gotten sober, and it took a few years, but as of today I’ve been eight to nine years clean now. To this day forward, Slippin’ is a song that still gives me goosebumps, and in many times still tears to my yes. To this, all I listen to’s the same 90’s rock and rap which I’d grown up on. There’s nothing else which could ever take its place. All the classics of this era stay on repeat. All day and every day while I’m at work grinding.

But spiritually i was moved by the melancholic of his genre 😢 dmx made me to start listening to hip-hop/rap I began to listen to his musics and news highlight years upon years ,when DMX released "last hope"undisputed , After all his incarceration from the music industry and prison... illuminati? I felt something strange inside of my heart as if he was going to die soon...through my personal vision i told with know i told many hundred of friends and fans that Exodus was to be dmx latest release and when they asked me why i told them is the qame theory with makaveli tattoo and the description and meaning of this speaks by themselves bc of the live time and struggle significantly...thank you all for supporting his legacy 😢

When Pac and Biggie went down, hip hop was missing something. Jay Z made Hardknock Life (crossover hit for him at that time) but Jay wasn't it. Pac and Biggie left a huge hole, but when DMX that was it. This man was a breath of fresh air. X made us feel again with songs like this and his others. I was going through things, Pac was the one I'd listen to, when he died I didn't stop listening to his music but it hurt. "Slippin" helped me and so many others , we related to X because he was coming from a real place. When he did his PRAYER! AH MAN I wish you guys could hear it, it helped make him the legend he is today in spite of his trouble. God given talent, he still has it.

This song is the soundtrack to my life and therefore very dear to me. DMX is my #2 pick for best rapper of all time. Changing the subject, I just wanted to give some of my thoughts. First, use headphones. When we engineer music we do it on everything. From club subs, to monitors, to u-hauls with one 3" tweeter. But the main focus is headphones as music is consumed 82% of the time by headphones. Music can touch your soul when being enveloped in it. That's why clubs, concerts and headphones are so popular. You don't just need to listen to the music, you need to experience it. Second, I would get a backdrop. Or spice up what you have. I like you guys and think you're a cute couple. If you keep it up, I can picture you in 3 years and it's vastly different. I see the potential. Just have fun with it. Best of luck.
