Today, the world of hip-hop lost a true legend, as DMX has passed. But while the rapper born Earl Simmons may now be gone, he will not be forgotten, and tributes have begun pouring in from across the web.

Not only has DMX's former protégé Eve honoured the fallen great, but tributes have come in from the likes of Killer Mike, Q-Tip, Talib Kweli, Nas, Vince Staples, Bootsy Collins, Missy Elliott and many more.

DMX's label Def Jam also wrote the following:

Def Jam Recordings and the extended Def Jam family of artists, executives and employees are deeply and profoundly saddened by the loss of our brother Earl "DMX" Simmons. DMX was a brilliant artist and an inspiration to millions around the world. His message of triumph over struggle, his search for the light out of darkness, his pursuit of truth and grace brought us closer to our own humanity. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and all those who loved him and were touched by him. DMX was nothing less than a giant. His legend will live on forever.
