Swizz Beatz Shares Emotional DMX Video
Ruff Ryders producer Swizz Beatz is letting the world know just how much he appreciated the support they showed for his late friend/rapper. Beatz hit up his Instagram page this past weekend to share a nearly 10-minute video on X. Swizz talked about how much pain X went through his entire career and why there will be another artist like him.
“First and foremost I want to say thank-you for all the prayers and the blessings for my brother, the great DMX. Let me tell you something, my brother, he was a different type of brother. Different type of artist. Different type of creative. Different type of spirit. Different type of zone. Different type of soul. Since the day that I met him, he lived his life for everyone else. I never seen him live his life for himself. You ain’t never seen DMX with a Lamborghini. You ain’t never seen my brother with a Rolls-Royce. You win’ never seen him iced-out with no jewelry. He did not care about any of that. He was the biggest. DMX was the biggest. And let me tell you why he was the biggest – he prayed for everybody else more than he did for himself. He’d go on stage and pray with 50,000 people knowing he needed more prayers than everybody that he was praying for. My brother would pray for everyone before he would pray for himself.”
