DMX
Event on 2012-02-17 20:00:00
DMX
In the late 90's following the deaths of Tupac Shakur and the Notorious B.I.G., DMX took over as the reigning, undisputed king of hardcore rap. He was that rare commodity: a commercial powerhouse with artistic and street credibility to spare. His rapid ascent to stardom was actually almost a decade in the making, which gave him a chance to develop the theatrical image that made him one of rap's most distinctive personalities during his heyday. Everything about DMX was unremittingly intense, from his muscular, tattooed physique to his gruff, barking delivery, which made a perfect match for his trademark lyrical obsession with dogs. Has tattoo on his back of his dog killed by a motorist and the words ONE LOVE BOOMER, Plus, there was substance behind the style; much of his work was tied together by a fascination with the split between the sacred and the profane. He could move from spiritual anguish one minute to a narrative about the sins of the streets the next, yet keep it all part of the same complex character, sort of like a hip-hop Johnny Cash. The results were compelling enough to make DMX and After all he was recognize by soundscan to be the only artist in Soundscan history to have his first four albums debut at number one on the Billboard Charts and one of the best selling Hip-Hop artists ever. His first 4 albums have each gone at least triple platinum in the US alone. He is still the only artist in the history of the Billboard Charts to have his first five albums debut at number one on the Billboard Charts. But in the early years….DMX was born Earl Simmons in Baltimore, MD, on December 18, 1970. He moved with part of his family to the New York City suburb of Yonkers while still a young child. A troubled and abusive childhood turned him violent, and he spent a great deal of time living in group homes and surviving on the streets via robbery, which led to several run-ins with the law. He found his saving grace in hip-hop, starting out as a DJ and human beatbox, and later moved into rapping for a greater share of the spotlight, taking his name from the DMX digital drum machine (though it's also been reinterpreted to mean "Dark Man X"). DMX made a name for himself on the freestyle battle scene and was written up in The Source magazine's Unsigned Hype column in 1991. Columbia subsidiary Ruffhouse signed him to a deal the following year and released his debut single, "Born Loser." However, a surplus of talent on the Ruffhouse roster left DMX underpromoted, and the label agreed to release him from his contract. He issued one further single in 1994, "Make a Move," but was convicted of drug possession that same year, the biggest offense of several on his record. DMX began to rebuild his career with an appearance on one of DJ Clue?'s underground mixtapes. In 1997, he earned a second major-label shot, with Def Jam, and made a galvanizing guest appearance on LL Cool J's "4, 3, 2, 1." Further guest spots on Mase's "24 Hours to Live" and fellow Yonkers MCs the LOX's "Money, Power & Respect" created an even stronger buzz, and in early 1998, he released his debut Def Jam single, "Get at Me Dog." The song was a gold-selling smash on the rap and dance charts and paved the way for DMX's full- length debut, "It's Dark and Hell Is Hot", to debut at number one on the pop charts. Produced mostly by Swizz Beatz, who rode the album's success to a lucrative career of his own, "It's Dark and Hell Is Hot" earned DMX numerous comparisons to 2Pac for his booming, aggressive presence on the mic and went on to sell over four million copies. Not long after the album's release in May 1998, DMX was accused of raping a stripper in the Bronx but was later cleared by DNA evidence. He went to make his feature film debut co-starring in Hype Williams' ambitious and successful movie called"Belly"that starred fellow MC's Nas and Methodman. Before the end of 1998, DMX completed his second album and a pending buyout of Def Jam pushed the record into stores that December. Featuring a controversial cover photo of the rapper covered in blood, "Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood" sold over 670,000 copies in its first week and entered the charts at number one and eventually went (3x) triple platinum. The following year, DMX hit the road with Jay-Z and the Method Man/Redman team on the blockbuster "Hard Knock Life tour". During a tour stop in Denver, a warrant for his arrest was issued in connection with a stabbing, of which he was later cleared; another incident occurred in May, when he was accused of assaulting a Yonkers man who'd allegedly harassed his wife (the charges were once again dropped). In the midst of those difficulties, the Ruff Ryders posse of which DMX was a core, founding member released a showcase compilation, "Ryde or Die, Vol. 1". With contributions from DMX, as well as Eve, the LOX, and multiple guests, Ryde or Die, Vol. 1 debuted at number one in the spring of 1999, further cementing DMX's Midas touch. Toward the end of 1999, DMX released his third album "…And Then There Was X", which sold over 600,000 copies in its first week and became his third straight to debut at number one. It also produced his biggest hit single since "Get at Me Dog," "Party Up (Up in Here)," which became his first Top Ten hit on the R&B charts. The follow-ups "What You Want" and "What's My Name?" were also quite popular, and their success helped make "…And Then There Was X" the rapper's best-selling album to date, moving over five million copies. During its run, DMX returned to the big screen with a major supporting role in the Jet Li action flick "Romeo Must Die". DMX's next latest movie with Steven Seagal action film "Exit Wounds", opened at number one in the box office. DMX also contributed the hit single "No Sunshine" to the soundtrack and signed a multi-picture deal with Warner Bros. in the wake of Exit Wounds' success. He returned to the studio and completed his fourth album, the more introspective "The Great Depression". It was released in the fall of 2001 and became his fourth straight album to debut at number one. Although it went platinum quickly, it didn't have the same shelf life as his previous releases. In late 2002, DMX published his memoirs as -E.A.R.L.: The Autobiography of DMX and also recorded several tracks with Audio slave (i.e., the former Rage Against the Machine). One of their collaborations, "Here I Come," was featured on the soundtrack of DMX's next film, a reunion with Jet Li called "Cradle 2 the Grave". The film opened at number one upon its release in March 2003, and its DMX -heavy soundtrack debuted in the Top Ten. He also did a movie called "Never Die Alone" in 2004. DMX's 5th album "Grand Champ" was released six months later and went platinum with not much promotion., followed by 2006's "Year of the Dog… Again" debuted at #1 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and at #2 on The Billboard 200 at the end of its first week of release. Just prior to that album's release, his revealing BET reality program "DMX: Soul of a Man" made its debut. A compilation titled "Definition of X: Pick of the Litter" was issued in June 2007. Then came the films like – "Death Toll" in 2008 a action film starring Lou Diamond Phillips,Leila Arcieri and Keshia Knight Pulliam and "Last Hour" that went straight-to-DVD and in 2009 The Bleeding, an action-horror film directed by Charlie Picerni and starring Michael Matthias, Vinnie Jones and Michael Madsen. Today, In his personal life DMX has been married for over15 years to his wife Tashera Simmons. They have three sons: Xavier, Tacoma, Shawn and a Daughter name Praise.
