Rest In Peace, Earl Simmons. The rapper famously known as DMX sadly passed away today after suffering a heart attack at his New York home one week ago. He was 50 years-old. I'll always remember DMX for his memorable jam "Party Up"...which is one of my all-time favorite hip-hop songs that I'll never get tired of listening to on my laptop computer and portable MP3 player. Another great jam by DMX is 2003's "X Gon' Give It to Ya"...a song from the action film Cradle 2 the Grave, which starred DMX and was released in theaters that same year.
Party Up began playing on the radio in 1999 but brings back fond memories of 2000—when it was regularly played on the loudspeakers at STAPLES Center during the Los Angeles Lakers' championship run in the spring of that year. My condolences to DMX's family and friends.
