In the end, it was only right that DMXâs public funeral would be a Very Special Sunday Service. As pointed out in
GQâs obituary, DMX put God in radio singles and No. 1 albums well before Kanye West did it with âJesus Walksââthe prayers scattered across his albums, guest features, and live shows (including one he memorably lent to Coachella Sunday Service just two years ago) were often just as forceful, commanding and dazzling as his 16s. It was fitting then, for Kanye to bring his Black church tableau, wherein he re-works hip-hop, house, and R&B staples into gospel hymns, to the Barclays Center for DMXâs send-off.
