He’s best known for the kinetic aggression of “Get At Me Dog” and “Ruff Ryders Anthem,” the harrowing duality of “Stop Being Greedy,” and even the ominous spirituality of “Let Me Fly,” but the gem which encapsulates his versatility is “How’s It Goin’ Down.” In just over an hour, his debut It’s Dark and Hell Is Hot showcased the full spectrum of who he was.

DMX was a larger-than-life presence, but he contained multitudes as well.
