Summary: The Gor-Don's Magical Book Review
Comment: The book E.A.R.L. is an autobiography and it takes you through the life of Earl Simmons a.k.a. DMX. It starts off when he was a kid and it describes what it was like growing up. Then it slowly progresses into him as a teenager and now an adult.
Earl Simmons a.k.a. DMX was born in Baltimore Maryland in 1970. He didn't live there very long. Shortly after coming to this world he moved to Yonkers and that is where he spent most of his life. He had 5 sisters and 2 brothers. His mom wasn't always there for him so he relied on his Grandmother when he needed help. His Grandmother was his role model in his life and the inspiration to him writing music. He started to get really into rap music in the 1990's. Since being signed to a record label he has released 5 CDs''.
This book was very entertaining to read. Leaning about someone else's past and present is very interesting to me. The issues that the book brings up are how bad some areas in the inner city actually are. It explains what really happens and the struggle that he had to go through.
I highly recommend reading this book. It was very good and easy to read. It gave you an actual visual idea of what was really going on in his life.

Summary: EARL-Ever Always Real Life
Comment: In E.A.R.L., rapper/actor, Earl Simmons AKA DMX gives us an uncensored look at his life. From an abused child with severe asthma to a mischievous young man who had to rob to survive, DMX allows us personal glimpses of his life, to allow us to see what he endured to become the man he is today. Like his life, the book is filled with ups and downs. DMX discusses his stints in jail and his addiction to drugs, yet he still talks lovingly about his family and the support that his wife, Tashera, always provided him with, in addition to his love for dogs. Readers who are fans of rap and DMX's music will appreciate the stories of all the rap battles with some of today's biggest stars, as well as dues he had to pay to make it into the music industry. Although the book tells many extraordinary stories, the stories are often told out of sequences, which makes the book choppy and a bit confusing at times. Overall this was a gripping novel that shed light on one of the most prolific artist in the rap industry today.

Summary: Ever Always Real Life
Comment: This is the best book I've ever read in my life, which says a lot. I recommend this to anyone who likes DMX, but this ain't for your lil' son or daughter. It'z an all to real view of his life, unaltered. It tells in graphic detail the abuse he went through, and how he overcame all of life's struggles. It's all too real, the storiez he tells. It totally changed my view of DMX, I respect him so much more. He's gone through a lot. some of his comments are quite disturbing- "I found out that if you but 2 roaches in a jar with a piece of hot dog, all of a sudden you'll see little white eggs all over. Baby roach eggs!" There's only one thing I didn't like bout this book- he describes in 100% completely graphic detail how his pitt tore up a cat and racoon. But overall, I believe this book is a great eye-opener to the "real" street life, a must read for many.
