message: The references used to support evidence claimed that DMZ was deprived of oxygen for 30 minutes. But the references which I clicked on and read do not say anything about this or about any time in which he did not have oxygen, so either the person who posted it did it as a joke or he knew something but could not find printed evidence to support. I have worked on this article in the past myself. I would remove this right now, but it could turn out to be true so I will remove later if it proves false. Ty78ejui (talk) 00:02, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Every mention of "thirty minutes without oxygen" that I've seen attributes it to TMZ, and TMZ is not really a good source for contentious claims. That probably shouldn't be in the article. 50.248.234.77 (talk) 01:20, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi, ; good catch. I just went ahead and fixed this, as the source stated the paramedics attempted to resuscitate him for 30 minutes, not necessarily that his brain was deprived of oxygen for 30 minutes. (Although I would imagine these two would basically coincide, there's no way I can extrapolate that from the source without violating WP:OR). TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 01:24, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  Per WP:RSP, I've attributed the statement to TMZ. Had this just been TMZ reporting this, I would have excluded the statement. However, as Vulture, a known generally reliable source per WP:RSP, has cited the report from TMZ in their article here, I believe there's no issue leaving the attributed statement in the article.

message: Someone wrote the second paragraph of the "Feud with Ja Rule" subsection in that crummy "he would" form. It's not encyclopedic and it's not good writing. This is a biography, not a docudrama. Please fix the paragraph. I suggest the following: 
In 2002 DMX released a diss track, They Want War, on a DJ Kay Slay mixtape; Ja Rule never directly responded.[53] As time passed and the feud faded into obscurity, DMX said that he wanted to officially bring it to an end when he was released from prison in 2005: "Gotti came to me in jail and said. 'I want to make peace with you and him.' I was like, 'Alright Gotti, let's do it."[54] Despite this, DMX and Ja Rule did not officially end their feud until 2009, at VH1's Hip Hop Honors.[55]
