On Friday, April 9, 2021, Earl \u201cDMX\u201d Simmons passed away days after suffering a severe heart attack in his home triggered by a drug overdose. For the hip-hop community, this is an indescribable and awful loss. In this, I hope to pay tribute to The Dog by providing a comprehensive list of my top ten favorite DMX tracks and their best lyrics surrounding hip-hop, family, faith, addiction, and loyalty.<\/b><\/p>\n
