When it come to cars, Double-R’s dog DMX isn’t pickin’ up any new tricks.

STORY toshitaka kondo /// PHOTOGRAPHY dave ellis

DMX has never been a Bentley-coupe-ridin’ kind of rapper—he’s got old-school love. Fittingly, a 2001 Chevy Suburban and a 2003 Dodge 4X4 pickup truck given to him by his now-deceased friend Kato are the only new cars in his collection. The rest, all 30 of them, are old-schools that the Yonkers native keeps at his homes in New York and Arizona. This insatiable appetite for whips gives insight into why X can’t seem to stay off the road, despite the well-documented legal headaches that can result from driving way over the speed limit and occasionally crashing a whip or three. However, car trouble is the farthest thing from X’s mind with the recent release of his sixth album and first Sony release, Year Of The Dog…Again. Just like with his music, when it comes to old-school cars, X doesn’t chase trends. So rest assured that you will never, ever see the Dog rolling around in a Donk.
