DMX recently paid a visit to Dr. Drew’s “Lifechangers” show, speaking on his struggles with the law and his childhood. During the conversation, he touched on being disciplined as a kid and how it helped shape who he is today.
“Back then, everybody got beatings,” he explained. “It made me a better person. Some were a little extreme. It got pretty bad. There were plenty of days I couldn’t sit down in school. There were three extension cords and she would braid them together.”
Dr. Drew asked if he beat any of his 10 children as punishment. Dark Man X said that he disciplines them by giving them something along the lines of a spanking when they get out of line, but that it usually teaches them a lesson.
“You don’t really have to beat them. That one time… Smack them on the ass with a belt a couple of times and they get the point. It was not continual beating. Anybody you’ve got to beat over and over again, evidently it’s not working. You give them a spanking that one time. After, you explain to them not to do it and you go back and do it again.”
He emphasized the importance of communication with his kids and how it helps better them and their behavior.
“That’s why I talk to my kids first. I sit them down and explain to them what they did wrong. If I see that they are genuinely remorseful about the situation, then I’ll let it go, because it’s about them learning. It’s not about me beating them.”
DMX brain is fried
damn, good thing he don’t go down that road, cause with that voice of his, if he was an abusive father, kids wouldn’t even be havin the boogeyman in their nightmares, that spot would be filled up already !

DMX seems like a real dude with a good heart. He gave his life to God in my state a couple days ago so congrats 2 the brotha and hope he stays on the straight & narrow and finally finds peace.
follow @RadioRebels radio show tonight with special Tech N9ne interview!
ARF ARF
hilarious dude arf arf what arf
X seems like a fairly down to earth dude, but he still doesn’t take responsibility for anything. So it’s ok if you drive 100 mph, maybe high on drugs, but if you get pulled over and arrested the cop is a dickhead? This is a 40 year old man with 10 kids, probably 10 more on the way.
I must also say im a big DMX fan. Hes the real deal just a bit misunderstood.
wow ten kids i wouldnt know what to do!! lol
You don’t really have to beat them. That one time… Smack them on the ass with a belt a couple of times and they get the point. SO HE does beats his kids. sometimes lol
im right there with him. addiction is a bitch and so is all the letdowns in life. good hearts finish last. his great depression album title is perfect for this countrys state currently. lol
