We'll finally know who he be
DMX is one of the most compelling characters in hip-hop history. He came out of the gate with a shot across the bow of jiggy-era rappers and reshaped rap in his barking, rough-and-tumble image.
Unfortunately, DMX couldn’t keep it together long enough to really reap the benefits of his stylistic shift of the rap marketplace. As other rappers rode his menacing badman image to greater heights than the Dark Man ever reached himself, the rapper was having trouble holding on to his life. These days DMX is much more likely to make headlines for a court case or a drug arrest than a hot new song. But you know we all love a comeback story and it looks like TV is ready to give ol’ Earl one.
