“I want 'Flesh Of My Flesh' to be like my connection to the community, ...” — DMX Quote

“I want 'Flesh Of My Flesh' to be like my connection to the community, I want to say what's on my peoples' minds, soak up all their pain. I've learned that when I take it all in, I can make one brotha's pain be understood by the world.”

“I been the same dude my whole life.”

“I don't walk around big headed. I'm not a superstar.”

“I grew up 150-200 miles from any city. You simply didn't have much connection with the outside world. So my dreams were always to get out. It's a familiar kind of thing, I think, for anybody in a small town.”

“Yeah, it's every parent's worst nightmare, to lose connection with your children, to not fully engage with them or have an understanding of what crowd of people they're mixing with, what they are watching online.”

“I was very influenced by films and books like 'Serpico,' 'The French Connection,' and 'Prince of the City.' They were some of the reasons I became a crime writer.”
