Video: DMX Sings Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

DMX sings "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer." You did not read that wrong. This is not really a 'music news' item so much as a Christmas gift from DMX to you (and you and you). In the same video shoot that captured the lost/found rapper star shrieking in frustration at the information overload of social media, search engines ("what the f%#k is a google?") and other changes in digital technology that went into effect while he was under a moonrock, DMX apparently growled through an amazingly complete and lyrically on-point yet totally spontaneous rendition of "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer"--including the harmony on the bridge!--while banging out a beat to accompany himself on a nearby desk, lunchroom table style. The non-Google-using, non-Obama-recognizing rapper is so detail-oriented with his holiday carols, in fact, that clip ends on "did I get the reindeer's names right!?" Pretty damn close, in fact, according to wrap genius. There is not really much else to say about this besides the obvious (your man is off his nut) and in the true Christmas spirit to echo the words of Tiny Tim: "Please, sir...I want some more." Or was that Oliver Twist? Some little english kid. Let me google this...aaaaiiigh! Check out the video where DMX sings Rudolph below.
