Sad, so what shall we take away from this? If you want to live to a ripe old age be a prince rather than rapper?
Yes, I'm guessing Phillip had little exposure to smoking fatties, pimps and hos, PCP, Cristal, mac tens, having pneumatic ladies dancing around you, gin an' juice. Well maybe the latter.
The "thug life" tends to not lend itself to longevity, that's for sure. They live hard.
RIP DMX.
