DMX
In the late ’90s and early 2000s, DMX was the bad boy of hip-hop. But the growling pitbull emcee’s bite was tamed when he began working with Aaliyah on the film and soundtrack for Romeo Must Die in 1999. Even though their friendship was cut short by Aaliyah’s death just a few years later, the singer left an undeniable mark on DMX, who recited a heartfelt goodbye poem for Aaliyah at the beginning of her posthumous “I Miss You” video and continues to speak her praises when talking about her.
