This song has saved 1000s of lives if not millions. That's a fact

Man.... this song helped me so much in a rough spot. Def one of my favorite from him...

You don’t have to relate. It’s about learning how the other side lives

I have shed so many tears over the years to this song. One of my absolute favourites.

The themes in this song are universal, doesn’t matter where you’re from, sometimes life doesn’t go how you’d like it to and you struggle.

Dmx was in a quite a few action movies in the early to mid 2000s

The song was about his drug addiction problems he was going thru

Opening up on a record about substance abuse is tremendously brave because his not glorify drug use but rather accept that in fact it almost ruined his life

Being a rap fan. This is hard to watch lol atleast y’all are respectful

It blows my mind how people aren’t more diverse in their music choices

Hey at least y'all are trying I give y'all props for that

DMX is an acquired taste Very Very Raw street culture......you can only appreciate DMX if you have gone thru all the phases of rap: old school, gangsta rap, and pop rap. And then after all that, you can fully appreciate DMX....p.s. DMX's flows are legendary as good as Tupac's flows

all you've got to do, is read and imagine his situation as the song goes, this goes for all rap, due to the story telling. it doesn't matter if you can't relate, it's their story, not yours... you've just got to listen and understand

He is basically telling you the story of his early life. It's basically a talking book. Even if you are not from that world, his words are cut-and-dry be enough for you to understand.

X was in a couple of movies in the early 2000s but you've never seen them.

Don’t identify listen to his story, it’s his story empathize, never been thru but I feel ya DMX🙋🏽‍♀️🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️

This track has got me through some dark times

Funfact: 1st verse where he talking about his dog/dawg, it really is his dog Boomer which he got tattoo on his back in his memory

You don’t have to relate to another persons struggle. The point is the struggle. Everyone has gone through something at some point. It’s about getting back on your feet afterwards. Don’t try to put yourself in his shoes.

DMX wrote about his life that's more powerful then most music, love DMX from day 1 . Truth speaks volumes to me.

Do ''DMX & Faith Evans-I miss you''. It's a song about his grandma, real emotional stuff :)

R.I.P DMX 🙏🙏🙏🙏

DMX is one of my favs, so pure and relatable. So sad to see how abandonment, anger, generational trauma, rejection from family and rejection and hate from society can do. Love u X cause u keep getting up pure soul xxx

That’s fair Dmx has lived a crazy life with a lot of tragedy it’s hard too relate but he is one of the greatest rappers his lyrics always have meanings it’s not like now a day when they rap with no purpose This song helped me so much

You don’t necessarily have to relate exactly to what he’s saying but life is a struggle, in my opinion humans should get out of our comfort zones every day to succeed, and sometimes that’s a struggle lol...doesn’t have to be his exact line by line quotes. But nice reaction!

Damn that shit made me tear up, that was like the realest shit dmx ever wrote

People dont realize how powerful dmx words were he is a legend

Each verse is represented by each line of the chorus. Verse 1 & 2 he's slippin, fallin, he can't get up Verse 3 he gets back on his feet so he can tear shit up

Never heard of DMX??? The only artist in history to have 2 number 1 albums in the same year on Billboard top 200.

DMX was in a few movies, Romeo Must Die, Cradle 2 the Grave, and Exit Wounds. But Belly was probably his most known movie.

This is about the struggle of life. So relatable to many people in different ways. If you've never had to struggle consider yourself extra blessed.

One of my favorite dmx songs this song definitely got me through a tough time in my life when my dad passed away glad y’all gave him a chance by listening to this song

This song always helps me before I reach a low point. One of my favorite. Thanks for the reaction.

You should do DMX feat Marilyn Manson the Omen

Im mad they didnt find the video, the actual music video is so good... smh. either way I love this song and 'flesh of my flesh blood of my blood' is a deep journey as an album, his first 3 albums were amazing and playable till this day. X literally saved my life. my mum passed away and i was so lost. but this song found me. and im ever greatful

Dmx is one of hip hop's saddest story. 3 times platinum rapper and for a while he seemed like he would solidify himself as a mainstay in hip hop but his drug problem overcame him and he has never fully recovered

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.

React to DMX song called Damien, DMX- The Omen (Damien 2) ft Marilyn Manson, Dmx- Damien 3. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

This song has made me cry tears of anger before. Good shit.

This is literally the first time me hearing the explicit version. Not that this song didn't have a lot of impact before, but I feel the words that were bleeped definitely added to the emotion that was felt.

Y’all had a better life than me. I can relate to song! He is rapping my life!!!😉

Its storytelling man, its about his life and the things that put him on the path to drug addiction.

As someone that grew up poor, having a mother that was verbally abusive, and then hanging with a clique that was going in the wrong directions ( gang banging) I can heavily relate to this on many levels. I also developed a coke addiction in college and just didn't give a shit anymore feeding my addiction in just about anyway grimy. Im clean now and have a son and a wife but it took a lot to get on my feet.

DMX WAS A GIFTED ACTOR ALSO AND A POET.RIP LEGEND.

Mase - 24 hrs to live (ft the lox & Dmx) please

X is The Living Legend that will call on God in the mist of it all X is that Legend we are always cheering for X Is Real No Chaser. X Is a Beast No One Living in the Hip Hop World can mess with Him X was the first & Only Artist Ever to have 2 double cds out at the same time & they both went Platinum X is Double R.

I could watch you guys all day lol. I love the energy and the candid reactions. Good stuff.

DMX is one of the realist of all rappers. RIP X

this guy helped many people just with this song.

Yall one of my favorite reaction channels when it comes to rap songs, keep it up..... edit and I apologize didnt even realize I wasnt subscribe to yall, I was watching yall since yall first reaction videos in your living room.

Thanks, great DMX song to start out with. Stop Being Greedy or Damien are also good ones. Damien Pt 2 features Marilyn Manson.

I really appreciate your honest review. People rarely are interested in learning anything new. Im going to listen to metal and learn more about it. Thanks for the video

You gotta do "The Convo" by DMX 🔥🔥🔥

U changed my life...i head this song in 1999 in a friend's house for the first time and I said to him this man qinging will be a great great artist that will touch many people worldwide and he laughed at me because he knew i wasn't a hip hop Fan. 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 😢

I'm a HUGE DMX fan. Hes brain dead right now from an overdode and I hope he makes it. The passion in his music is on Tupac's level. I like seeing ppl outta my demographic that can appreciate his music too. Much luv to yall, thanks for this. This is my favorite song from him.

Also I think this is a real awesome idea , what you guys are doing. More people need to expand their musical horizons for me the best is when an artist can blend two genres together

One of my favorites songs of all time. Beautiful song.

Greatest live performance from DMX ever was at Woodstock 99 before Korn the stage that same weekend followed by a plethora of other awesome 90’s metal bands.

Love the authenticity in the reaction. You guys just got my SUB.!!

This is my favorite DMX song. DMx is a movie star

This song got me through some rough times...I love you guys' reaction; probably my fav. DMA X joint

The slipping fall can't get up is the most brilliant part of this song it relates to everything and anyone.

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.

DMX early in his rap career was still doing street stuff while trying to get on.

You know this is proof that you can't judge a book by its cover because I have to be honest here I've never met white people that actually even entertain rap music they have developed this opinion about it that makes them think it's just jibba jabba or something that guys are saying but the thing about rap music that makes it so unique and special in its own right is these are people pouring their hearts out about things that's really happening to them in a lot of the times in real time it just makes me feel some type of way when I here and see these reaction videos of white people my experience with white people is it's always been negative more so than positive because of racist I'm from Chicago and Chicago is a very segregated City even to this very day and when I was a kid I experienced that so I have this picture in my mind or my mind's eye because these are things that I actually saw and went through and it's just amazing to see someone who actually gets what's DMX's trying to say these are real life things real life occurrences and again this is the difference between rap in the 90s compared to wrap up today that's really not saying anything appreciate you guys are definitely hit the like button

this song is everything that ive been feeling the past year now R.I.P DMX

This song is pain , fighting back , not quitting , recovery

Please do DMX - Stop Being Greedy. Or any of the following DMX songs. X is the greatest. DMX - Look Thru My Eyes DMX - Let Me Fly DMX - The Convo DMX - Ready to Meet Him

You're right young lady DMX played in a lot of movies he played in the movie alongside Jet Li and Aaliyah the singer that passed away from the plane crash he played in belly whip the rapper Nas the movie played in with Jet Li what's called Romeo Must Die and a bunch of other movies

This song always make me tear up

Difficult to listen to this iconic joint now that the legendary X has returned to the essence...

FYI DMX has acted in a few movies,(exit wounds)( Romeo must die,)there are a few more, but he is better known for his music.

DMX: X GONNA GIVE IT TO YA.

Ya'll really shoulda watched the video for this one. Hip hop is about the black struggle, so you can't relate to ALL of it, but you can some, and also appreciate the art of it. You guys are awesome. Also, a few of these lyrics were wrong...he actually said "one deep, with the PIT(pitbull, his dog boomer) startin shit for kicks". He didnt say "one deep with the bitch"

2PAC ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE ME PLEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSEEEEEE!!!!

Ruff riders anthem and x gonna give it to you are both great DMX songs to listen to

This is not my life but i can relate because i understand other's struggle

As a rap fan and especially a DMX fan i appreciate how you guys are taking his music and finding some understanding within it i ESPECIALLY like how you said its not something i understand cause it wasn't my life but you found common ground when it hit you as a father that was DOPE oh i think yall should check out geto boyz my mind's playin tricks on me and 2pac

You gotta be able to relate to the song in order to feel this song.

Hopsin-ill mind of Hopsin of 7..im sure u can relate to this song everybody can

i got dmx's ,biography for xmas one year and i wish i still had it, it was a good read. i recommend anyone in the comments to pick it up. and there is a dmx in every hood, when you been around this kind of stuff its def easier to understand. the part about the bloody knife doesn't mean he absolutley killed someone it just means his perspective or attitude kept him in situations that a bloody knife and other similar things were the end result.

I think a bit of context into the life of DMX would have helped with breaking down this song, it is his life story so knowing that his mother used to abuse him then he acted out in school and was put into group homes from young, came out and his mum moved on so he found the streets, toyed with crack, expressed himself through rap, robbed people, sold mixtapes...

DMX was a movie star too

This jam hits a hard spot in my heart 😔 Should've watched the official video

Get well soon DMX.. I always loved DMX sinds my childhood.

Dude in school many story and poems and writing like the Gettysburg Address, the holocaust, most cant relate completely to the past but we can understand, comprehend, and critique with critical thinking, and yes ofcourse you can relate to "falling" be down and out, depression and the hasrshness of life. All humans can. We are all the same bro.

It was intended to be heard edited. It was edited on the album and kept that way until recently. I actually hate the unedited version but that probably just me

DMX is so underrated

Jill is awesome! 😍

You guys he was basically talking about mental health this back in the days when mental health conversation was not a topic of discussion

Should watch the official video Put it in perspective

Kendrick Lamar- Keisha's Song Watch the lyric video and follow along. Powerful song. Much love and respect.

This might be the first time I heard the unedited version. Thx for the reaction.

I think y'all would appreciate the M/V for this song. The imagery is pretty deep.

The beat alone is a masterpiece

Rest in Paradise, Earl Simmons (dmx)

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.

We slip through the cracks!!! Nobody comes for us! We’re the kids you call bad!!! But look at our home situation!

He did play in movies

Rip DMX glad yall did this song 🙅🏾💜
