Was DMX gang affiliated coming up?

[STFARN]

Inspired by that "new DMX" thread but

The image I perceived of DMX was always some lone wolf street shyt all fukked up life etc

Could someone like that even make it on some psycho tough guy shyt without being pressed by other gang cliques in hip hop?

 

[Bugsmoran]

Nah he wasn't gang affiliated. Dee and Waah had his back

 

[Mac Casper]

I'm curious to know if these days he's traveling with an entourage or any "handlers" . . do we know who his manager is?

Swizz Beatz has always seemed to be someone in his corner and it seems he has DMX's best interests in mind. He speaks as if he is a strong proponent in the belief that DMX could have a strong comeback

No read his Autobiography

Naw but he ain't need to,nikkas knew not to fukk wit him

I'm with the bloods with crips at war...he said on nore show he was back in the day

 

[Jimmy Two-Times™]

Growing up in his book he wrote that the only gang he belonged to were the guys who lived on his street called 'School Street' from Yonkers. But, it's unclear when he became a Blood but this must of been since childhood too as he talks about that life so much. His record label is Bloodline Records, he just released a new song called Blood Red, his debut album was called Flesh of My Flesh Blood of My Blood.

Ruff Ryder's had crips and bloods. Dragon came out closet a crip while back lol dee the CEO was in some street mess. And dont forget the biker gangs

He never really gave a fukk about much but his dog.

That's the only mufukka he'd hit off with his last.

He might not have been a blood but he was playing with the image like he was when he came out till Kurupt called him out on it.....after Kurupt he still kept using the "dog" reference but that red shyt and the blood references ceased.

 

[razassin]

One of the best hip hop reads imo.
