Senator Bailey insisted on praising X one last time: “Phenomenal actor, essential for culture. Someone who gave us so much in the hip generation–hop. As a kid who was raised by the hip–hop, I’m grateful not only for the accomplishments of DMX, butI’m happier with the impact Earl Simmons left on the world__. May he rest in peace and may his memory be a blessing.“
