4. DMX - Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPXWZxtDooY Best YouTube Comment: "Merry DMX-Mas to all!" - FckTV DMX is not exactly known for his cuddly side. But everyone was a kid once, X didn't come out of the womb a gangster. Tough or not, most of us grew up listening to Christmas carols, DMX included. And that brings us to the time DMX sang Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer - his way. During a trip to New Yorks Power 105.1 radio station, he was asked if he would do "the honours of spitting" the classic Christmas song. The rapper didn't even need a lyric sheet as he rattled off a Christmas carol by heart. While banging out the beat on a desk, X sings the lyrics and throws in his trademark "What!" and "CMon!" ad libs just for good measure. And that's the story of how Rudolph became an honorary Ruff Ryder. Who knew that DMX was such a holiday softie? In fact, he seems to really identify with Rudolphs hardships. You can almost feel it in his voice when he barks they never let poor Rudolph play in any reindeer games. Heavy.
