Summary: Heartfelt........
Review: A MUST READ. I read the entire book in one day. Earl Simmons kept it real from the beginning to the end. I felt his pain and his shruggle. After reading his book. It just reassures you that "only the strong survives". Keep your head up!!!

Summary: Bored...
Review: After about 55 pages, I was bored and sent the book back. Basically I didn't get anything out of it but he was a mischievous kid! Made me truly be convinced that I don't want kids...I probably should've skipped through the book to his older years but I felt like the writer (or maybe it was DMX's suggestion?) should've used more interesting examples--like I really didn't care about a red truck or him making parachutes. I wanted more details on burning the basement and I still don't really understand why he didn't like the Asian kid. The book lacks the details to make the story intriguing but then again, so do many autobiographies. I just read it cause I was curious about DMX and I dig his lyrical skill.

Summary: I LOVE THIS MAN
Review: DMX is so refreshing! As a rapper I enjoy his style because it's original and he is not all about the flash. I purchased this book as an adoring fan and I was not disappointed. He details his life and how he came to be and where he is today. I truly appreciated his honesty. I got "DOG LOVE" for this brotha!

Summary: DMX isn't afraid to be himself & show his dark side!
Review: DMX shows his true self in this book. It is an all out account of who he is and where he has been. He delves into many areas of his past where other celbs would dare not go. He isn't afraid to show how bad he's been and that he has struggled to get where he is today.He brings the Ghetto and the struggle for life and your soul to the front. He does not try to paint a rosy picture. It is very gritty. He shows how he didn't sell out his music. He stayed true to what and how he wanted to say it. DMX you are the Dog!

Summary: E.A.R.L.
Review: Earl Simmons, the rapper better known as DMX, has had his first four albums enter the charts at No. 1. He is the only artist ever to start off on such a successful streak. That record is especially notable because, in a hip-hop world rendered blindingly bright by a diamonds and bling bling atmosphere, DMX keeps it ruthlessly real. His songs are ferocious, street level battlegrounds, charged in equal part by explosive violence and a desperate yearning for spiritual redemption. Those same currents drive his autobiography, a collaboration with the journalist Smokey D. Fontaine. DMX makes no effort to justify his violent robberies that provided his livelihood for long stretches of his teens and early twenties. He depicts himself in such incorrigible terms, that by the time he's beaten so badly that his jaw needs to be wired shut for three months, you feel he's gotten only what he deserves. Somehow, you're rooting for him every step on his long, slow climb to stardom. That contradiction sums up why this book is like hip-hop at its best. It's a fearsome narrative that raises many more issues than it resolves, and leaves the reader feeling both exhilarated and deeply unsettled.

Summary: For true DMX fans
Review: Have you ever wondered about the rage, passion, and intensity of DMX, well this book will answer all your questions and more. I read this book cover to cover in one day--then I read it again! This book is full of ups and downs, slips and falls, and enough sruggle to make you look at your own life and try and find answers to the questions that have always been in the back of your mind. Read this book you will not be disappointed.
