So I’m in DMX’s black Cadillac Escalade. It’s 2000. We’re in LA working on a cover story for Rolling Stone because this was when DMX was hot like fish grease. Probably the #1 selling rapper in the game at that point. So DMX is driving and he drives the way you would think DMX drives. It’s all gas then all brakes so either you’re flying too fast or you’re jerking forward when he brakes. It’s a lot.
At one point we’re flying down this road in Beverly Hills, it’s night, and one of the two humungous bodyguards in the truck with us says, “Yo, I think the hotel is the other way.” X says “Really?” Then he hits the gas and the brake at the same time and does a 180 degree swerve like in a movie so we go from driving in one direction to driving on the other side of the road in the other direction but it’s so fast and so reckless I’m thinking, ‘Yo we’re going to get into an accident and it’s not worth it for me to get injured fucking around with this rapper.’ I was really scared.
So I’m sitting there all petrified and the car is all silent because I think the bodyguards are a little scared of his driving too and then X breaks the silence. He looks at me and says, “Yo you can’t fart in the whip.” I’m like what? He says “Yo man, if you gonna fart in the whip you gotta let me know so I can brace myself, damn.” Now I’m thinking, ‘I didn’t fart.’ But if I say that he’s gonna be like are you calling me a liar? But I don’t want to admit to a fart I didn’t bust. I don’t know what to say. And then I look at the bodyguards and they’re dying laughing. I think he was doing a bit. But to this day I’m not sure.
What would you do if you’re in the whip with DMX and he starts accusing you of farting when you didn’t but you’re a journalist so you can’t get into a disagreement or have him to be like yo are you calling me a liar?
First, I can't stop laughing at the entire imagery I feel like I was in the whip. Second, nah... you gotta deny the fart. 100%
You should have said Boomer did it.
