    Watch the video that @Ricky posted above. It links to Facebook but it's a timelapse of the mural being created. It's beautiful to watch.

    Kind of sad how situations like this stuff always gets milked, I get that in this case it's probably the branding but on second hand websites you'll see people asking 50 to 100 plus for a Dmx "rare vintage" shirt that's obviously not legit yet people out there still dumb enough to buy it

    Hopefully the profits go to the family and it's not just some company trying to bank on DMX's death.

    That's literally the only reasonable explanation for this but I doubt that's the case, either way 200 is a lot. I just don't like the idea of when he's alive let's just price them at 20 to get them out as quick as possible but now he's passed so let's capitalize and put that b---- to 200. Maybe I'm just a dumbass though idk.

    No you're right. $200 for a t-shirt makes absolutely no sense. No matter which way you look at it.

    Also why is it that when an artist dies the album to get the most listens is the greatest hits? I guess it's pretty self explanatory but looking at the best of Dmx album theres so much more better songs than a lot of the ones featured at least IMO, I just feel like listening to the greatest/best of is a lazy way to get into someone.

    What's crazy to me is DMX not having a billboard hit higher than #17.

    I read that article from the link posted higher on this page and his biggest hit on the billboard 100 was The Lox's "Money, Power & Respect" in 1998. Landed at #17.

    You would think Party Up and X Gon Give it to You were way bigger hits. But Party Up only reached #27 back in 2000 and X Gon Give it to You landed at #35.

    He just beat his career record with Ruff Ryder's Anthem landing at #16 after his death. Back in 1999 it only made it to #94

    Anyway, it's quite surprising for Party Up not to have landed higher than #27 back in 2000. Even 8 year old me remembers that song being played all over the radio. You would think it was a top 5 on the billboard back then.
