Things most people might not know about E.A.R.L. DMX


DMX: Introduction


Earl Simmons, more popularly known by his stage name DMX, short for Dark Man X, was an American rapper, songwriter, and actor. His role in advancing rap music can't be challenged. DMX was known and loved for his raw, authentic music, which resonated with his audience, as well as his down-to-earth nature. He stayed true to his roots in the streets even after he had built a successful career and a comfortable life for himself.


Early Life


When DMX was born, he wasn't DMX. As all great stories begin, the great rap legend was nothing more than an innocent baby. His mother named him Earl Simmons.


Earl Simmons was born on the 18th of December 1970 - which, in what is probably one of the biggest coincidences of DMX's life, was the year of the dog. He was born in Mount Vernon, New York. And although his career had him travelling different places around the world and the country, it was clear throughout his life that New York was more than his birthplace; it was home.


Becoming DMX


Hip-Hop was just coming onto the music scene at the time. The music was considered ghetto, and so it wasn't played often by radio stations. R&B and Rock music were dominating the airwaves then. So, the kids in Earl's cottage would put on the radio and spit rhymes over other people's songs that they heard - even if it wasn't a hip-hop song.


At the time, DMX wasn't DMX... he was just Earl. And Earl had never come up with a single rhyme his entire life. So while others were rhyming to the beats of songs on the radio and challenging themselves to see who could say the best rhymes, all Earl would do was stand to the side and enjoy the music.
