Swizz Beatz treated fans by posting old footage of DMX performing at the Apollo for the first time.
In the video, DMX said, “Y’all ni***s ready? Are y’all ready?” before erupting into the classic track, ‘Ruff Ryders’ Anthem.’
Swizz captioned the throwback video, “DMX Apollo zone ! This was our 1st time on that stage it was magical ! I was X Dj and producer at that time.We made magic that will never be forgotten ! Long live my brother @dmx I still cry when I hear Stop Drop real talk. look at the slides.”
Recently, DMX’s son Exodus honored his father by playing that same track on the piano, which his mother posted online.
