On Friday, DMX passed away at age 50 after a heart attack left the rapper in a coma. The death of the legendary New York City rapper sent shockwaves across the world — though the prognosis was never positive from the moment DMX was admitted to hospital, the reality of his death still felt like a gut punch to artists and fans alike who were touched by his work. Below, you can read just a few of the tributes to DMX and his legacy. RIP DMX. No one radiated more agony, pain, and atomic energy. The Cerberus from Yonkers, who suffered for all of our sins and his own. Maybe the rawest rapper of all-time, no pretense or frills, just pure adrenaline, lawless genius, and reckless abandon. The struggle incarnate. pic.twitter.com/P80t1GQHEa — Otto Von Biz Markie (@Passionweiss) April 9, 2021 Even though you had battles you TOUCHED so many through your MUSIC and when you would PRAY so many people FELT THAT!
