But I remember he had one on the first and 2nd cds he made, after that I can't remember.
HOWEVER, that was more or less like one of his little skits than one of his actual songs. | My favorite songs were his storyline songs. The Omen (parts 1,2, and 3). It was all about him facing the devil inside of him and calling upon God to give him strength.
If you actually listened to his songs, I doubt you would have called it garbage. Like most people who don't understand rap, you just heard certain trigger words.

What one person considers "bad" treatment, another may have no problem with whatsoever. Clarification is needed in order to make an accurate assessment.
It's not the "being treated like crap" thing that attracts some women. It's the whole "I can fix him" mentality. That SHE'LL be the one who changes his ways.
Either that, or they just have the "I love being a victim" mentality and enjoy being in abusive relationships.
However, the stuff in the bedroom is a whole 'nother deal.  Quote:

I do have to say DMX appeared to have contradicted himself alot in his raps... the true meaning was probably lost on alot of youthful listeners.
Sometimes if you listen to it with a certain "ear" you can hear a message that this street life bull**** isn't good. | |

He's one of the few who've made a positive impact using rap. The ones that don't listen carefully enough just mistake him for something he's not. | |

I'll admit I didn't understand the symbolism behind it either. Although the Damien stuff is kinda obvious, you don't have to really think about it deeply to figure out the meaning in it. | |
