Earl Simmons (December 18, 1970 - April 9, 2021), known by his stage name DMX ("Dark Man X"), was an American rapper and actor. He began rapping in the early 1990s and released his debut album It's Dark and Hell Is Hot in 1998, to both critical acclaim and commercial success, selling 251,000 copies within its first week of release. DMX released his best-selling album, ... And Then There Was X, in 1999, which included the hit single "Party Up (Up in Here)". His 2003 singles "Where the Hood At?" and "X Gon' Give It to Ya" were also commercially successful. He was the first artist to debut an album at No. 1 five times in a row on the Billboard 200 charts. Overall, DMX sold over 74 million records worldwide.
On April 2, 2021, at approximately 11:00 pm, Simmons was rushed to White Plains Hospital, where he was reported to be in critical condition following a heart attack at his home possibly resulting from a drug overdose. The next day, his attorney Murray Richman confirmed Simmons was on life support. That same night, Simmons suffered cerebral hypoxia (oxygen deprivation to his brain) as paramedics attempted to resuscitate him for 30 minutes. Simmons' former manager, Nakia Walker, said he was in a "vegetative state" with "lung and brain failure and no current brain activity". His manager, Steve Rifkind, stated Simmons was comatose and that he was set to undergo tests to determine his brain's functionality and his family will "determine what's best from there".
On the morning of April 9, 2021, Simmons lost functionality in multiple essential organs, reportedly his liver, kidneys, and lungs, and was pronounced dead shortly after at age 50. It was revealed on July 8 by the Westchester County Medical Examiner's Office that Simmons' official cause of death was a cocaine-induced heart attack.
DMX's funeral ("DMX's Homegoing Celebration") took place in Brooklyn at the Christian Cultural Center on April 25, 2021. It was livestreamed on the BET Network and its KZread channel. It lasted around five hours to a limited capacity of 2,000 people. DMX's casket was in the color red and featured the word "FAITH" in large printing.
DMX is buried at Oakland Cemetery in Yonkers New York.

I still can’t believe some days that he’s no longer with us, he was a huge part of my growing up, especially when diving deeper into hip hop back in the 90’s. RIP DMX!

I can only imagine the joy on DMX face and in his heart the moment he left this earth and stood before Father God our Creator. I can picture DMX hugging God and feeling the infinite love of God surge through him, removing any and all pain he endured in his life. To know that DMX will be experiencing that type of love for all eternity makes me smile. 🥰

Ms. Loving that was so beautiful what you said about DMX standing before GOD feeling the love of GOD. So so beautiful. No more pain DMX. Your words touched me a lot.
This was a hard one… he was a lyrical genius and to know some of his raps were actually his prayers. He fought demons all these years. He was a special guy that didn’t get enough flowers while he was alive. Great video Scott and RIP DMX.
So sad when someone so talented passes so young. (I am 48 so he is young to me). God bless him.
I didn't listen to a lot of rap and hip hop. But I did listen to DMX. So I was deeply saddened when I heard of his passing. Still hard to believe that he's gone. His headstone is beautiful. I'm 48 and he was way too young. I clicked on this video the moment it popped up. Forever rest in peace DMX. Gone way too soon. And thank you as always Scott. Your time, dedication and hard work are second to none. Peace ✌️ out ❤.
I went to see him at the house of blues in Chicago 5/4/2019 he was amazing!! To be in the room when he prayed was so powerful! He was truly one of my favorite artists and I’m so happy I got to see him in concert! ❤❌
X was a legend - one of the many icons that emerged in the 90s. The man had his demons and went through several trials and tribulations, but he always fought the good fight. I hope he's at rest.
We have to make sure people know that he was introduced to this drug by a horrible and irresponsible adult at 14….I work as a substance abuse nurse…the stories I hear are terrible. How can anyone do that to a kid. And he struggled with that all of his life. I couldn’t stop crying when I found out about this. Beautiful tribute as usual Scott. I wanted to click on this as soon as I saw it…but I was at work. I’m watching now that I’m settled in at home. Bless you.

He had one of the most unique voices in Hip-hop history. When you heard him, you knew who it was, like Pac, and Eazy.
The part where you had DMX on the Dr. Phil show and edit to his grave, wow that touched my heart Scott! Beautiful tribute to the great DMX ❤
I had a dear friend who was devastated.. I was talking to him on Instagram and trying to keep him up .. sadly a short time ( few days ) he followed him .. rest easy my dear friend and DMX .. sometimes you wish you did more but sadly sometimes you can't 💕🕊️ Beautiful video Scott and thankyou.. my friend would have loved it ! Don't do drugs kids !!!
A huge loss to hip, hop, and a great artist. In the late 90s he carried hip hop on his shoulders, It was nice to see him on drinks champs before he passed, getting his flowers. I hope he found peace.
DMX Was A Great Singer And He Will Be Always Be Missed. #RIPDMX #LegendsNeverDie #RuffRyders

Oh God, I miss DMX. I grew up listening to him and when he hit his troubles, I really hoped he'd come back and be on top of the rap game again. RIP DMX. I miss you! Thanks, Scott, for the video.

Oh Scott I watched with tears in my eyes from the second it started. X was and still is my favorite rapper/entertainer of all time. I know he had his struggles, but how he kept his faith in God and family, always made me feel like I was that much closer to him. I was lucky enough to see him at his peak during the Hard Knock Life tour back in 99 and I will take that memory to my grave. We are heading back to NYC in the next few months and will definitely be making a stop to his grave. Thank you SO MUCH for this video!! ❤️❤️. ✖️ BAAAAABY!!! #lldmx #dmxforever

Such a profound and prolific writer, and rapper. DMX voice was so strong and distinct. I loved to hear him pray. His prayers were so power and felt. I can’t believe it’s been two years. Seems like only a few months ago it was announced he was in the hospital etc. DMX life has been full of struggle and the world miss him tremendously. However, he can finally rest peacefully! Thank you for paying homage to the one and only XMan! RIP🕊️
I feel like he is reunited with Aaliyah again. He really missed her. What a legacy he left behind!
Uuuugghhhh! When DMX passed it hit me 💔. Being that I am a huge mental health advocate when he shared his mental health struggles/addictions, and encouraged other’s to seek help and not be ashamed of having any mental health disorders I gave him 🙌 for putting his pride down to share his struggles. Adding…I do a lot of JFK, Boston and White Plaines FA ✈️ trips…White Plaines is known to be where the wealthy East Coast people live. Another, GREAT vlog!!! 🙌👍🙌
I got to meet DMX in Hamilton, Ontario when he was filming exit wounds with Steven Seagal in 2001 Rest in peace, DMX❤
It's always so sad to me when someone with so much talent extinguishes their own flame by the choices they make. What a beautiful stone he has. I'm sure his death broke a lot of hearts, and I hope he is resting in peace and his world is a lot happier for him now.

Rip Dmx my sister is hooked on drugs also she lost both her girls because of it.I hope he found the peace he was looking for and is flying with the angels.
Hi Scott 🙋🏽 Good Evening to you. The first time I heard of DMX l was At my son's house. And he was playing his music. After that I became a fan of DMX. His struggle was really real. But with addiction it's hard. Take it from me ‼️ l was fortunate to be in a position to get away from the crowd l was hanging out with. Once I get rid of them and turned back to the LORD I got clean . And I've been clean for 15 years now. DMX WAS doing so good this last time. I WAS confident he WAS going to make it this time. But God knows best. Rest in Eternal Peace DMX ❤✝️ 🛐 ☮️💟💜🙏🏾💯.
Forever Legendary 😇. Stood out from amongst the rest because of his transparency and vulnerability and unashamed love for God. He lives on!
I met him at a red light in Downtown L.A. one late night. He was MORE than cool and Invited me 2 a party him and his Homies were headed to. Very approachable and I would see him at different clubs too. A Gentle Soul with the rough edges. RIP 2 the DOG!!🙏🏾✊🏾 Thx Scott 4 another great video👍🏾❤️✊🏾
Scott you are alot like me with all the different styles of music you love, ive always been the same way
you get around buddy!!! thanks for the vid......
You are always so respectful and considerate of the people you cover. I didn’t even know DMX’s music (or maybe I do and don’t know that I do?), but I will go look him up and take a listen. Even when I don’t know the people you discuss, I appreciate so much the fact that their loved ones could watch your mini-documentaries and feel proud and appreciative of how you portrayed their loved one - especially when the person was misunderstood or made some bad decisions in life. You are a good human being with a good heart. ❤
Scott, lil bro YOU are the man🙏🙏🙏. Safe travels wherever you go. Thank You for this update. I know DMX is in Heaven saying, Thank You Bro🙏❤. What comes from the heart goes to the heart.

My sister lost her fight with alcohol a month before her 50th birthday. I miss her every day. Lives lost entirely too soon. I struggle to make sense of it. Another great video Scott, thank you.
Scott, did you know that DMX was shooting a movie when he died and was almost finished. They were close to the end of filming and DMX only had a few scenes left. The movie was called Doggmen not to be confused with the movie The Dogman. When director Antonio Simmons announced that he would be using CGI to finish DMX's last few scenes l would occasionally check for a release date but still today there is no release date. I don't know if DMX's estate shut this project down, if the cost of using CGI was too much or what happened because Antonio was adament about releasing this movie after DMX died. As always thanks for sharing! ❤❤❤
Yet another fantastic tribute for an exceptional human being. ❤️
It is crazy that you posted this today because I was listening to his music on our long trip for my son marching in a parade in Texas and I was just thinking about him and wishing someday to travel with my husband to visit all these different places. It would be amazing. Thank you for sharing.❤😊
Thank u!! I loved him so. Always spoke wisdom even loaded. I’m sorry he wasn’t able to stay clean. Prayers to those still in active addiction. We do recover. Love from SoCal.
This video really touched my heart! I really like the clip that you put in this video of DMX on Dr. Phil. I think that more people in this world need to see that video of him on Dr. Phil because it shows his character and how kind his heart was. People always judge a book by its cover. DMX enjoyed helping people in need feeding the poor. He was definitely a lover. He is gone too soon. He had a whole life ahead of him. He is definitely missed. I really really love how you put this video together with class and dignity, and respect for DMX 💔🕊️✝️

A legion of rappers have come over the past two decades, many born in poverty. The have come, each with a candle in hand, to light their way to fame and fortune. They have placed themselves for all the world to see, and have received tumultuous applause, money beyond imagination. But to many, the money was a poisonous snake in the form of gun bullets, white powder, crystals, a tube, a rolled bank note, or a syringe. Money has brought many face to face with their mortality - many have fallen. And only a handful Survive. RIP 😢

Huge lost in the world of hip hop music. He was a good rapper and action movie star and sorely missed. Rest in peace, DMX, god bless. 🕊️
RIP EARL ( DMX ). YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MISSED.
Hi Scott🥰 I wanted DMX to beat his addiction. He is at rest now. No more worries and pain.🙏🏼
I was just listening to him today, Party Up... RIP DMX. Good ones always die too soon. I forgot we share the same birthday.
RIP DMX I MISS YOU😢😢❤❤
What a beautiful headstone! Thank you for the re-visit to his grave. Life is a struggle without addictions, and I can only imagine his state during his lowest lows. Pain free at last, leaving family behind to mourn and feel slighted when he couldn't stay longer.
Awwwww! X!!! I love DMX. He was a great storyteller. 🙏❤
He was fantastic in the Exit Wounds film! Loved him in that… RIP - gone too soon
so whats crazy the past 2 days ive been on a dmx vibe music playlist, then you post this today! thanks for doing this scott on tape
Here's what I know about Yonkers; It's North of The Bronx and there's a movie starring Richard Dreyfuss called Lost In Yonkers based on a Neil Simon play. His wife in the movie is the same actress from the play. That's it. Now I can add DMX lived there to my trivial knowledge of Yonkers.
Thank you for this wonderful opportunity to see this video @SCOTT ON TAPE - Your Pop Culture Tour Guide! This really hit home for me. Much love ❤❤❤❤
Hi Scott, I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing this for "DMX" Earl Simmons. He died way too soon. He was such a great rapper and actor. My husband loved his music he had every CD. He would constantly play his music in the and sing along with him. He knew every song by hard and constantly watched his favorite movie, "Romeo Must Die". When the news came that DMX passed away from crack, My husband, said wow,and said he was so disappointed of how he died. 7 months later a week after my husband's birthday ,he was found dead. Hiding the fact that he was hanging out with a junkie whore who got him in to doing crack. He was found dead in a motel room. Exactly 6 months later the pathologist called me with the toxicology report. He died of crack laced with Fentanyl. 58 yrs old.
DMX was a must in my younger days! Bumped his bangers all the time! X gonna give it to ya! Talk is cheap mf Absolutely loved him. Rest in paradise Mr. Simmons You are missed Respect Scott Thanks for taking us along. ✌️😎❤

He was so naturally Talented with rapping. He truly struggled with his upbringing. He had a strong spiritual influence but battles with drugs overrode that. I remember he went to a very isolated area thinking it would work. Rip my brother. Thanks Scott.
