While others here have called out that it may not be a beautifully written book, I would argue that it is always authentic. Literature should be a representation of a human voice - this more than meets that threshold. Jan 05, Oddie Jones rated it it was amazing. I used to believe that the least interesting way to dig into your life is to write about it explicitly. As a result I shied away auto-biographies.
That was a dumb opinion to have and E. This raises some interesting points about ghost-writing that I want to write about god bless Bojack Horseman, one of the only things I've seen engage with this.
The ghost-writer I used to believe that the least interesting way to dig into your life is to write about it explicitly. Looking him up online, it feels as if a corporate coup has seized all aspects of his persona. Although this is the only book he was involved in writing, there is barely any mention of his career as an author.
This baffles me. Smokey D Fontaine is a skilled, skilled writer. He does something I didn't even realise was important with ghost-writing until he fucking did the thing. That is, he gently inserts himself into the body of the work, making you aware of his presence in its creation through small interactions with DMX. Those glimpses of Smokey undercut any fear that this is not DMX's voice. The pretense that this is one person writing as another disappears. We're left listening, as Smokey is.
I can't help but wonder if the conspicuous absence of E. This is something that gained considerable clarity through the press circuit of comedian Todd Glass. Todd released his auto-biography a few years back chronicling his difficulties coming out in the LA comedy scene.
It does a great job of channeling Todd's tone, snapping fast between silly and serious. He obviously got ribbed on a lot of comedy podcasts. A lot of the jokes were about the fact that his life story, this thing that represented what he is and what he has accomplished, was ostensibly written by someone else. There's plenty to say on process here again god bless Bojack Horseman but I'm writing this to explore the broad strokes of why this literary snobbery doesn't work.
Todd Glass and Earl Simmons are two people who have displayed their lives over and over through words, Todd through his podcast and DMX through his music. These are the mediums they have mastered, that they have let fight for them.
And both offer something different with regard to telling stories. Rap and comedy have different expectations, different end goals, different orbits of engagement to works of literature. They can mix and mash, digress etc. It's almost impossible to encapsulate, aside from saying that they are, indeed, completely different to books.
Of course. This is what good ghost-writers like Smokey D Fontaine will do. They will present DMX's spoken story, his tone of voice, his flows, his rage, through another medium without losing too much of the intensity. This book mixes nuggets of spending time with DMX as he is now, pieces of other lyrics, some dialogue straight from the mouth of DMX at different times of his life, all things that his raps meld together to tell stories.
There is also the breaking up of cultural tribes within ghost-writing. Rap fans can be insular with their appreciation of the genre. People who claim not to like rap stubbornly push back. There is a continental heft of different styles within the genre of rap, and it's tragic to hem all the exploration of death and anger and faith within DMX's music within a single cultural bracket.
Also, if you are like me and think It's Dark and Hell is Hot is a piece of art, you can take pleasure in something that fleshes out what you already grappled with. So if the process is strong, then we need ghost-writing in literature. After all, without the merging and melding of other story-telling mediums with literature via said ghost-writers, we wouldn't have the brutal climactic moment of DMX walking into his school with a shot-gun hidden in his trouser leg :D May 29, Darnetta rated it really liked it.
The editing was a bit off as well as the timeline, but overall it was what I expected. DMX's realness has always attracted me and it was good to see that portrayed in his autobiography too. I'm a true believer that genius is crazy and I wish he had gotten the help he needed long ago. This is a good book for any X fan and you will be surprised to know that there is more to Earl than rapping. I look forward to his future endeavors beyond the cell, of course. Jan 07, Nardsbaby Reader rated it really liked it.
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.
Jun 15, Robin rated it really liked it. And then there was X. We lost so much when DMX passed. Larger than life is the best description for him. There was such a void in hip hop after the losses of Biggie and 2Pac but X with energy, his rage, his flows, the darker tones in his lyrics against those pounding beats What a journey though, the biographical narrative is punctuated by these in And then there was X. What a journey though, the biographical narrative is punctuated by these interludes of Fontaine spending time with X in the desert and seeing him in more private moments where he really opens up, which make for a compelling companion to the lyrics that introduce most chapters.
It's X's story through his stories and through his lyrics. And over the course of the work, you see how his lyrics evolved, from a dude winning rap battles to figuring out his style to arriving at the substance and themes he became known for. While DMX will talk about his faith, it feels like there's a real bit of hell in him. Crime, some of it truly repugnant, are a part of his story.
It's hard to reconcile his moments of faith though. Only God can judge him, and that's probably the point, but it's harsh at times to put the whole story together It's dark, and hell is hot, but he never gave up on believing in the light.

Dec 13, Shanajamika Jones added it. Although he may not have intended to bring up social issues in this autobiography, I think that there are many issues in our system that stick out in this book which make us question whether there is anything else can be done to try to alleviate some of the harshest conditions some children have to endure growing up.
