DMX Birthday Tribute: Rare School 12 Yonkers Footage & “Divine Master of the Unknown”

DMX Remembered on His Birthday: Rare School 12 Yonkers Footage & “Divine Master of the Unknown” Clip Released

December 18 — DMX Birthday Tribute

On what would have been his birthday, WorldWide Entertainment TV is honoring the life, legacy, and depth of DMX by releasing rare archival footage and a powerful throwback clip that captures the rapper not just as an icon, but as a man rooted in faith, struggle, and truth.

Today’s releases include:

  • A rare School 12 Yonkers clip showing DMX before fame

  • The full “Divine Master of the Unknown” clip, expanding on a moment that already went viral

  • A community poll reflecting how fans continue to connect with every layer of DMX’s message

Together, these pieces paint a fuller picture of Earl Simmons — raw, reflective, and unforgettable.


DMX at School 12: Before the Fame, Before the Legend

One of today’s standout releases is a rare clip of DMX at School 12 in Yonkers, offering a glimpse into his early environment and the roots that shaped his worldview.

The footage dates back to 1997, a pivotal era when DMX was beginning to break through but was still closely tied to his hometown. In the clip, viewers see DMX in a raw, unpolished setting — long before superstardom — grounded in the same Yonkers streets that would later define his sound and spirit.

To provide important context for viewers, Yonkers’ First Lady appears at the end of the clip, explaining what School 12 meant to the city and why it holds such cultural weight. This explanation helps newer audiences understand why moments like this are historically significant, not just nostalgic.

School 12 wasn’t just a building — it was part of the foundation of Yonkers culture.

“Divine Master of the Unknown”: Yonkers 1st Lady Explains His Alter Ego

In addition to the School 12 footage, WorldWide Entertainment TV released the full “Divine Master of the Unknown” clip, expanding on a moment that previously went viral on YouTube Shorts with over 600,000 views.

In this clip, DMX breaks down the meaning behind his alter ego — a phrase that symbolized his internal battle between light and darkness, faith and pain, discipline and chaos.

Rather than sound bites, the full clip allows viewers to hear DMX in his own words, reflecting on identity, spirituality, and purpose with the honesty he was known for.

This conversation reminds fans why DMX connected so deeply with audiences across generations: he never pretended to be perfect, and he never separated his music from his humanity.

Fans Weigh In: What Was DMX Most Powerful When He Spoke About?

As part of today’s tribute, WorldWide Entertainment TV also launched a YouTube Community poll, asking fans:

“DMX was most powerful when he talked about?”

Early results show overwhelming agreement:

  • ALL OF THE ABOVE — 70%

  • Faith & God — 19%

  • Pain & struggle — 7%

  • Street life — 5%

CHECK OUT THE UPDATED RESULTS STILL COUNTING

The results speak volumes. Fans don’t see DMX as one-dimensional — they recognize him as an artist who embodied faith, pain, street reality, and emotional truth all at once.

This sentiment directly mirrors today’s content rollout, which intentionally highlights multiple sides of DMX rather than limiting his legacy to a single narrative.

Why DMX’s Words Still Matter Today

DMX’s impact has never faded because his message was never surface-level. Whether he was praying on record, confronting his demons, or reflecting on his upbringing in Yonkers, his voice carried weight because it was real.

By revisiting moments like School 12 and conversations like “Divine Master of the Unknown,” today’s releases serve as more than throwbacks — they are reminders of why DMX remains one of hip-hop’s most honest and influential voices.

On his birthday, fans aren’t just remembering DMX.
They’re still listening to him.
