What I Noticed Today:

I don’t know what I was looking at earlier on Wikipedia, but for whatever reason, I wound up on DMX’s page looking at his sales figures. Yea, I know he was huge on the radio in his prime, but I don’t think I’ve ever looked at a list of numerical stats. Now these are unofficial since they’re from Wikipedia, but they do have some references from the RIAA and other music certification services:

It’s Dark and Hell is Hot –>4X Platinum

Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood –>3X Platinum

…And then There was X –>5X Platinum

The Great Depression –>Platinum

The Grand Champ –>Platinum

Year of the Dog –>?

For having that much success and being one of the top MC’s in the game, it’s sad to see him in a cycle of legal trouble and personal issues…but apparently, we haven’t seen the best of him yet…

  • Yeah he’s done great work…It’s kinda unbelievable that so much talent has gone to trash for lack of a better word. What also amazes me, i speak out of ignorance of course, is the lack of support he’s gotten from the hip hop industry and his peers…goodness..

  • J.D.:

    I hear you. I feel like a lot of people just think he’s a lost cause. He’ll be fine and then just revert back to the same old behavior. I dunno. He needs an intervention or something. Self destruction at its peak.
