DMX wasn’t just a rapper — he was a moment.

On his birthday, we break down his rise with Ruff Ryders, the chaos and dominance of Woodstock ’99, and how he released two undeniable classics in just seven months.

We talk Swizz Beatz, Def Jam, the Hard Knock Life Tour, and the pressure DMX put on everyone around him — including Jay-Z — simply by existing.

This isn’t a recap. It’s a conversation about impact, competition, and why DMX still matters.

Chad Repko explains how Dungeons & Dragons didn’t just inspire Stranger Things — it defines it.

In this video, we break down the origin and core basics of Dungeons & Dragons, how the game was created in the 1970s, and why it became the perfect storytelling backbone for Stranger Things.

We connect the dots between classic D&D lore and the show’s biggest elements — including the Mind Flayer, Vecna, and how Eddie Munson is a clear nod to Iron Maiden’s Eddie mascot.

If you’ve ever wondered why the kids name monsters the way they do — or why D&D fits this universe so perfectly — this is the missing context.

Whether you’re new to D&D or just want to understand the deeper parallels in Stranger Things, this is the quick, no-nonsense breakdown.
