Rapper Earl « DMX » Simmons leaves behind a legacy of music filled with pain, passion and hope after passing away Friday. Simmons died at White Plains Hospital in New York after suffering a heart attack last week, according to a statement released by his family to The Associated Press. He was 50-years-old. As the world mourns the loss of a hip-hop legend with a distinctive sound and songs filled with truth, we look back at some of his most memorable lyrics and quotes. « Damn, was it my fault, somethin’ I did/ to make a father leave his first kid at 7 doin’ my first bid? » – « Slippin' » (1998) « All I know is pain, all I feel is rain/ How can I maintain with that s— on my brain. » – « Ruff Ryder’s Anthem » (1998) “You wanna be me? Here’s what you do/ Grow up neglected by both parents and still pull through.” – « Do You » (2000) « X is the bad guy. That’s not who I am. I’m not the person the media portrays me to be. I used to be really clear on who was what and what characteristics each personality had.
