X vs. Damien

When I think of NY 90s rap DMX, Earl Simmons, or Dark man X however you call him he was one of the greatest out at the time. To this day his first album is one of the most solid and slept on rap albums ever. One track in particular that stood out from the rest was Damien. He goes back and fourth talking to a "Guardian Angel" by the name of Damien. Damien makes him do all types of sinful deeds in order for him to have a better life. From some previous knowledge the name Damien is also the same name as the "Devils Son". I do not see and coincidence at all.

DMX then built on this Damien story and ended up making three different tracks that featured these stories where he tries to get away from the sweet sinful life Damien wants him to follow. The second installment of the Damien tracks features a known Devil worshiper Marilyn Manson on the hook. Some belief that X was a supporter of Lucifer, some belief that he was just doing these songs to sell, and some belief that there just stories he made up. Whatever his real motives were the Damien series of songs is nothing like you will ever hear. Listen to them in order to get the whole story.




DMX really fell off though, here are some of his mug shots. CRACK IS WACKK!!!!

  1. Haha yo man i'm diggin this, but apparently X was framed by the authorities for his supposed addictions and always made sure society caught the bad side of his looks to make him look horrible for the mainstream. He was a guy that despised the industry so He claims he was gone against everytime an authoritative figure showed up

    call it conspiracy or whatever, but I just dont think he's wack enough to do that stuff
