Let's be forreal... DMX gotta be like 5'9'' barefoot. And when he wears them boots like he usually do. He has to be 5'10'' in them.

josh says on 9/Dec/09
im sorry but he is not 5'11 because my friend met him before and he is 5'9 says dmx was a couple inches shorter than him and i didn't believe him at first but after looking at all the comments here and that joke katt williams said to him and i realize it was true. so this is not correct at all.
Paco 6 ft 3 in says on 25/Aug/09
i never met dmx, but i seen him standing next to the rapper The Game, and The Game is 6'3'' and he looked 5'10''
Abdul says on 12/Jun/09
5'11 in lifts. 5'8-5'9 barefoot.
mike says on 1/Jun/09
i met him, he's 5'11 or so, he also had timbalands on. and im a low 6'3 or high 6'2..i also had running shoes on and he seemed 2 inches shorter than me.
ya boy says on 26/May/09
i saw dis vid, of dmx in prison nd he was gettin interviewed and after da interview he stood up and towered ova all da officers while in slippers,so yeah he luked pretty tall i doubt he's 5'9 maybe 6'0 at least (yes hes outta prison)
Anonymous says on 25/May/09
Katt Williams always jokes DMX is like 5'5", Katt's height
Doug says on 18/May/09
He looks 5'11-6' in my view, definately not short. DId anybody see Exit Wounds? Did anybody notice how the 6'6" bruiser blond beefy guy had a good 2 inches on Seagal who claims 6'5"?
josh says on 5/May/09
i saw the get wild video i dont think he was even in it
a-ron says on 2/Apr/09
iv alwayse heard he was short..and my friend and i met him after a concert im 5'9 n my budie is bout 5'10-5'11 and he was like juss bout the same height as me maybe a inch taller ..he was wearing tim's so idk if that had anything to do with it
zedrein says on 17/Mar/09
I wonder why DMX always has a reputation for being short? Everyone I've ever talked to that claims to have met him says he's short, like 5' 5"-5' 7"
John P says on 16/Mar/09
No way Dmx is 5'11, Glen your wrong. Just go to youtube and type in dmx and "get wild". He is side by side with allegedly 5'7 jadakiss and they are the exact same height. This guy is truly 5'9, if that.
glenn says on 7/Mar/09
dmx and ll do walk funny.
George says on 6/Mar/09
He walks kindof like LL Cool J meaning he's got really big lifts in his shoes. No way is he a legit 5'11 barefoot. I can buy 5'9 max barefoot and he can look 5'11-6'0 in his lifts.
Ctownboi says on 6/Mar/09
5'11"? dis guy tha same height as me. i thought he wuz at least 6'2"
glenn says on 14/Feb/09
he isnt 5-8,5-9 next to steven seagal who is 6-4.dmx looks 6ft next to him.i agree,dmx can look 5-9 even to me.until he stretches out.
Anonymous says on 14/Feb/09
He is about 5-8 or 5-9. There is no way that he is 5-11. Timb's don't give that much height maybe an inch or a little more. Nike ACG's might give more height than Timb's. Also some Timb's are bigger than others and can give more height. Depends on the style you get. Some people do look taller than others in certain footwear.
Joshua says on 7/Feb/09
He is 5.9 i saw him, i am 6ft and im much taller then him i dont think he is 5ft11 but 5ft 9
DUSTIN DELUCA says on 16/Jan/09
he's about 5'9. I dont like the guy at all. I think he's disrespectful and a complete waste of human life. I used to look up to him but now he isn't anything more then an a piece of crap. I'm challanging him to a mixed martial arts fight when he gets out of jail.
5'8 beast says on 2/Jan/09
he looks about 5'10/11 in timbs
glenn says on 13/Dec/08
he does look short.even to me in person.but then he stretches out.he has bizzare posture.relaxed hips with sort of a hunch back.
Jim says on 11/Dec/08
My friend met him on the street once when DMX was walking with his bodyguard. He told me that DMX looks like a little bulldog in his big chain because he's really short. I would be very surprised if DMX is really 5'11.
glenn says on 4/Dec/08
the smallest ll is,is 6-1.ive seen him 5-11ish to 6-3.so he is in the middle.i saw him in nike airs recently.he was 6-1.the smallest dmx can be if this timbs thing is true is 5-10.im buying timbs soon.i guess they have hidden lifts.
glenn says on 3/Dec/08
another thing genius,is that dmx looked 6ft next to steven segal.he sure wasnt dwarfed by 5 to 8 inches.steven was 3,4 inches taller max.
glenn says on 2/Dec/08
i guess your calling robs listing ridiculous.this timbs thing is getting silly.it gives,what,a half inch extra? he isnt gonna look 5-11 cause of timbs.i agree or rather always thought he was 5-9 myself.but he isnt.
Brad says on 2/Dec/08
5' 11" is hilarious. Of course he wears Timbs.
Jay says on 1/Dec/08
DMX wears tims [timberlands] 24/7, and in his movies he does also. he even once made actors crouch down to seem shorter. DMX is around 5'7-5'8, shonnie in concert im sure he had tims on...that adds height
Shonnie says on 28/Nov/08
What 5'11 i seriously doubt it I swear when I saw him in concert he was about 5'8 or 5'9
glenn says on 30/Oct/08
and then stretch out to 5-11.
glenn says on 30/Oct/08
the crazy thing is he can look 5-9 even to my eyes.
mike says on 15/Sep/08
i just met him yesterday, he was goin 2 miami from o'hare, ill send a pic when i can. he was pretty close to my height and im a high 6'2, but im pretty sure he was wearing boots, and i was leaning toward him more..there was still like an inch difference :D
anon says on 13/Sep/08
it could be that hes really 5'8 and just wears 3 inch shoes
Marquis says on 26/Aug/08
there is no way the dude is 130 i would say about 5'8 150 i meet him at a club in new york in 96 and i was about 3 inches taller than him at 5'11
Carl says on 13/Aug/08
was in jail with X in phoenix. 5'7 130 very little dude. Katt Williams was right on point when he said he was 2 inches taller than him. Katt is pushin 5'5
Mr. R says on 28/Jul/08
I talked to him in Vegas, and he is 5-9 on a very good day.
jonny says on 27/Jul/08
"everytime i caught a buzz, i was thinkin about how short i was" ... always in timbs
Liz says on 4/Jul/08
I think he's pretty tall. Several articles have referred to his wife as tall, and you can see in this pic that she is, and he's even a good bit taller than her.

She's on the left:

obehi says on 7/Jun/08
dmx is always on tims, so that will put him like 5-9.5
Sid says on 14/May/08
billlllly says on 2/Aug/07
wanna no y he can look 5,9 coz theres a thing use gangstas do and thats bend ow knees wen we walk and stand i do it heaps its to look less intimedatingthen wen they leest excpect it bam ur big


[Editor Rob: lol, that sounds pretty mad.

I used to be in a gang myself back in the day. Called ourselves the ENS....or Elite Ninja Squad.]

Rob, that guys comment is very true.
C. says on 11/Feb/08
...I could have sworn he was like, 5'9". But here he looks 5'11", possibly a weak 6'. Craziness.
glenn says on 11/Jan/08
thats for sure.
Austrian says on 11/Jan/08
well hes taller than tupac
glenn says on 10/Jan/08
mr-r also said some other head scratchers besides this one.at least this one i could see why.
dmeyer says on 8/Jan/08
mr r says 5'8 for dmx ,so maybe dmx had 6 in lifts ,mr r can,t judge height obviously
glenn says on 16/Dec/07
i swore the guy was 5-9 myself alot times.until he staightened out.5-11 it is.someone here says 6ft,and thats not crazy because he can look that next 6-3ish steven seagal.
FO514 says on 15/Dec/07
X usually looks at least 6' but he always wears Timbs so that adds like an inch
anon says on 16/Nov/07
Im 5 ft 8 and i saw dmx at a concert i was the front row and dmx is 5 ft 9-10. He is definantly not 5 ft 8.
Willo says on 28/Sep/07
Aiit peeps...Look to settle this...Look at the right hand photo - If X is wearing Timbs in that photo with Glenn he would have an inch or so on Glenn, if Glenn stuck on a pair of Timbs at 5'8" he'd be catching up to X, then if you imagine Glenn 5'9" or 5'10" with those Timbs on...nah X ain't no taller than 5'10" max. Nas is listed at 5'8" and there isn't much difference in them. No matter what his height X is the man...the best rap artist in existence, actor, idol...
miles smiles says on 28/Sep/07
It's not just Kat Williams...DMX is kind of notorious for being short to average. A friend of mine from Brooklyn who's stood by him swears he's 5-8. But the proof that he's not short are the above photos with Glenn. If he has 2.5 inch lifts in his Timberlands, he could gain about 4 inches, but that seems ridiculous. Glenn, is DMX a serious lift candidate, or is it his retractable spine voodoo alone?
glenn says on 22/Sep/07
i understand what you mean leonari.cant say i dont get it,cause i thought he was 5-9ish myself.turns out he is 5-11ish.yes,possibly a bit taller than 5-11.i never understood how he looked 6ft next to seagal.until i developed my pics,only then did i realise.i kinda noticed something fishy with the posture going up and then down.i thought i was imagining it.he defeats himself with his posture.
leonari says on 21/Sep/07
Man this guy gets a lot of crap for being short when he is actually quite tall at least in my books 5'11"" is tallish rather than shortish. Even friends of mine often said man this DMX is short. Yesterday I saw a Standup by comedian KAT WILLIAMS where he goes "that n***** is 2 inches taller than me" he is my height. which is ridiculous (and not funny) since this guy is like 5'4 or 5'5" max.
glenn says on 21/Sep/07
furthermore he walks with a strange hunch.weird posture.
glenn says on 21/Sep/07
dmx is 2 inches taller than 5-10 nas in belly and a few inches shorter than 6-3 to 6-5(depending on footwear)steven seagal.dmx never looks as short as i do next to seagal in my pic.alot of men stretch out their posture and gain 2 inches.skinny or fat.i have 5-11 friends i swear are 5-9.
Mr. R says on 20/Sep/07
I showed a dvd in my class the other day of Katt Williams, the pimpcat comedian. From 2002, he says that when he moved to LA, he discovered that most of Hollywood was fake. His example was DMX, and he noted that DMX was short and "was my height." Later he said that DMX was about two inches taller than him. Katt is listed at 5-5, which may be even streching it a bit. Therefore, according to Katt, DMX must be about 5-7 to 5-8, which supports my eyewitness account from 1999. I can't explain the pictures where he looks so much taller. (Maybe its the Timberlands!) But I stand by my account!

definately not below 180 / 5'11 if you ask me
glenn says on 25/Jul/07
for sure dmeyer.you are correct.
dmeyer says on 24/Jul/07
hey glenn if he can look 5'9 then he is the stallone of the rappers
glenn says on 23/Jul/07
i agree dmeyer.but he can mysteriously look 5-9 too.
dmeyer says on 22/Jul/07
can look 6 ft with steven seagal and almost as tall as 185 washington so 6 ft but he can look the same as 178 arquette so is 182 like 5'11.5 possible for him rob
Brad says on 13/Jul/07
Hey Mr. R didja see him in Vegas a few nights ago?
Anonymous says on 18/Jun/07
DMX wears Timbaland boots all the time though...they probably give an extra 1.5-2 inches so he is prbably 5'9 or 5'8.75
Mr. R says on 10/Jun/07
Was I drunk that night in Vegas? Not EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS, STAYS IN VEGAS!! I stand by my 5-8 eyewitness account, but don't know how to explain Glenn's pic.

Alex says on 11/May/07
I thought he was 5'9-5'10 in the past but with Glenn he looks around 6'0.
Sean John says on 6/May/07
DMX looks about 6'0 to me
Brad says on 25/Apr/07
I think Busta looks like he n Flav smoked 5 pounds of chee chee.
glenn says on 25/Apr/07
a least dmx is down to earth with me.snoop is ok.busta is another story.
Brad says on 24/Apr/07
My father grew up in Yonkers...yer either real good or real bad there.DMX is a baddy. Snoop smokes too much cheeba & Busta doesn't have much between his ears cept some truck anchor pieces hanging off it he paid too much for....he's an Ace Frehley sideways.
glenn says on 24/Apr/07
i have that album on vinyl.yeah,whats up with dmx,snoop and busta always in trouble?
Brad says on 23/Apr/07
Guy needs a driver...gets too many tickets.
Brad says on 21/Apr/07
Wears cool bling. I'd put him on the point if NY vs. LA starts up again. Yonkahs (New Yawk talk) and big dogs on big chains equals: tough.
glenn says on 20/Apr/07
at least they got this one right.nas is another dmx.trust me.
Brad says on 20/Apr/07
NYPD arrest record has him listed at 5' 11". He looks it. Yonkers rules!
glenn says on 19/Apr/07
he looks near 6ft around seagal.
The Horse of FUNK says on 18/Apr/07
Apparently this guy has the ability to stretch his spinal chord out to 6' and retract it to 5'7". lol I like Viper's 5'7" estimates though, I've always pegged him as a bit extreme and ridiculous.
glenn says on 18/Apr/07
he is so mysterious;he even looks 5-9 to me in the flesh,until he stretches his spine out.
dmeyer says on 18/Apr/07
i alwais new dmx wasnt under 5'10. to 5'10.5 since he wasnt that mush dworfed by seagal wish is hard
zazaz says on 18/Apr/07
Well, on the left image, DMX looks even five inches taller then Glenn. On the right image, DMX looks three inches taller then Glenn. I'd say that DMX is at 5' 11" or even 6' in height.

MD says on 25/Feb/07
Rob, you can delete that old photo, if you'd like. I don't really see it helping, and on second thought could be really misleading not knowing the ground level.

But, since the old Getty links got deleted, I would like you to post these:

MD says on 24/Feb/07
A strange photo, but Mark Wahlberg, who, even in his best lifts can only look 5'9.5" with DMX back in 2001:

Click Here

We can't see their feet but they HAVE to be on different levels, but it really doesn't look it.
Glenn says on 29/Jan/07
No worries Rob.I emailed you not knowing you replied.what gets me is this genius has the time to post that.meaning he is stupid,jealous,or has no life.or all.yeah,Walhberg was on to me.thats why he wore lifts.these celebs tell you jerkoff,huh? you know them? funny,theyre on to me but my camera is on fire! never rests buddy! and I have another part time job,2 girlfriends,friends and multiple hobbies,yet my camera keeps catching images of celebs.gee,they are ON to me.Clint Eastwood and Lauren Bacall in 2 weeks,not to mention scores others.RACK,RACK,RACK.and the photos stack.let me show you what a man that needs to be on meds can do.do say hello.I DARE you.and size me up and or bring the tape measure.here a kiss for you honey, :-o.
Glenn says on 29/Jan/07
Ok casy.do you know me? do you know why I was at this location? no.next time stop and measure me.and furthermore the 1300+ pics here show that Im 5-8.you think I take photos for this site moron? Ive been taking photos for 17 years.what makes this story sound like a crock is that for 1,celebs are NEVER on to me.2,I AM 5-8.if I was frantically walking around, it was for a REASON you idiot.a reason beyond your comprehension dickhead.obviously I was staking out a situation.be a man next time and say something.bet your a little boy.in fact Ill tell you were Ill be next.Rob,if he is up for the challange,let him reply.otherwise dont let this moron on the site again.

Amen to that anonymous.

Plus when you take film pics, unless you expose them yourself, the guys at the photomat may keep copies.
Glenn says on 15/Jan/07
Thats also true Rob.
dmeyer says on 15/Jan/07
i agree rob one times i had a nap at 8 to 10 pm so i was at night 5'11.5 and i looked the same height a 6 ft friend of mind who was up since 6 am
Glenn says on 14/Jan/07
Yeah,Rob.its a nervous feeling when your dicking around wondering if your Harvey Keital pic came out,when you asked him for 14 years or so.what sealed it for me was I got a pic with 120 year old Jerry Lee Lewis,4 months ago,and his eyes are wandering and the photo has a red exposed streak through it.couldve been ALOT worse.if he dies,Im happy with it.luckily,he is coming back soon.and even worse,a month before that horror,a REAL horror happened.2 photos in a row taken with Steven Adler of Guns&Roses,who is of poor health,didnt come out.mysteriously exposed.I had a few in the 90s too,exposed.3 photos,3 different occassions,on Lily Tomlin,and Fred Coury of Metal band Cinderella,didnt come out.what are the odds? things could be worse.I know someone that had that luck 3 times with the difficult Deniro.now THATS bad.Digitals snap photos slow,though there fast now.

[Editor Rob: even with a good camera, when you give it to an assistant or someone else to take a pic, I guess you are in the hands of them to not screw things up.
saying that, I've seen some 'professional' photographers at photo opps turn out sh**tty blurry, overexposed/underexposed garbage.]
Glenn says on 14/Jan/07
Im very rarely at a doctors office.does the average person go monthly? or should I go for the site? not trying to be a dick,but realise your request can be silly.however,now that I have a great working digital,and if a girl sleeps over,Ill have her hold tape the tape measure for photo.cool? cant promise anytime soon.well,maybe today funny enough.most peoples true height will never be revealed.in the summer,I wake around 2pm.sometime ealier.every other time its 3:30 to 4:30.hit the bed between 7am and 8am.

[Editor Rob: your ditching the old film cameras?

your 5 hours behind here, but I do notice many times you seem to be up very late, hence, you'd be rising later in the day.]
Anonymous says on 14/Jan/07
"Do I have time for this nonsense"?
Well apparently Glenn, you have time to take 1000's of pics and be on this forum, so 1 more pic
at your dr's office isn't insane. Listen, I'm not trying to be mean, you seem like a cool guy.
It's just with all this controversy on height, if we know your height for sure (not saying your lying)
then that will clear some things up.

(But somethings, like Brad Pitt's true height will never be clear)
Anonymous says on 14/Jan/07
i think glenn is betwwen 5'7.5 and 5'8 he looks only 4 inches shorter than ford who was aleast 6 ft then also he looks taller than beyonce similar height with leto since he is 171 at night and 173 morning so he is average 172 cm 5'6 dont make sens for glenn more like 5'7.5 the real height is the one at 2 pm 5'11.75 is my morning height but i claim 5'11 glenn i do believe you are about 172 and you look easy 173 in some pics maybe because of 1.5 in heels

[Editor Rob: I think its been mentioned if you are waking up 6-7 hours later - correct me if wrong but Glenn might not rise till afternoon? - then the 7-8am risers will be at lowest point at night, but those rising later might not yet be...just something to consider.

I know one day at an event they had a photo op scheduled for 11am, I had been up driving and walking for 11 hours solid, so was lowest height, but the celebrity might have had 1/4 inch advantage on me...]
Glenn says on 13/Jan/07
First off,do I have a height chart in my house? 2nd,do I have time for nonsense? 3rd,why should I?,4th,one must be blind if they cant tell from the 1000 or is it 1200 pics up.
Anonymous says on 13/Jan/07
Glenn,

If you are "5'8" as you so claim, how about a barefoot picture of yourself next to a height chart?
You've taken 100's of pics of yourself, why not 1 more and prove to the world you're right?

[Editor Rob: ask yourself if in the majority of pics if glenn appears like 5ft 8 or not? Taller than dennis hopper, robin williams etc?

Tricky to do full length pic with height tape on your own.]
Glenn says on 12/Jan/07
Thanks for backing me on that Legend.prooves Im not 5-6.even though DMX truly gives the illusion of 5-9.
Glenn says on 9/Jan/07
I went through that too shredder! you should post this in the Sly page.
the shredder says on 8/Jan/07
I have a friend that claimed 5'11 and i always thought he was no more then 5'8 or 5'9 ... but when I took a pic standing next to him , he proved me wrong because he looked no shorter then 5'10 in the pic ! i peg my friend at 5'10.5 on the dot !!! ... also , I have a cusin that only claims 5'8 and I swear hes no shorter then 5'9 ! even in pics with me he looks 5'9 - 5'10 range , although never claimed over 5'8 flat ! I also saw them barefoot countless times !
dmeyer says on 8/Jan/07
5'11 make sens since he looked a lidl shorter than tom arnold who is 6 ft 1 i met him
Andy says on 4/Jan/07
no way DMX is 5'11, i'm 5'11 and i live a few doors down from him and have seen him a few times, hes no more than 5'9 tops, unless he has a ridiciulous hunch
robbie d. says on 23/Dec/06
In Slippin', dmx says:

"I'm ready for the world or at least I thought I was
baggin' niggas when I caught a buzz
for thinking about how short I was "

i guess that's an admission of bein made fun of for bein short as a kid, though it's possible he could have hit a growth spurt later...
Derek says on 17/Dec/06
Seagal is really 6'3" dmeyer. 5'10" minimum for DMX, maybe 5'10 1/2". Looks a little under 5'11".
dmeyer says on 16/Dec/06
5'11 is possible since he didnt look to short near 6 feet 4 seagal
Lucky Luciano says on 7/Dec/06
DMX must still have a bounce house in Teaneck. I see him all the time. It's funny because alot of women think he is Mekhi Phifer. He doesn't respond well to that.
Mike says on 4/Dec/06
Woah DMX is like LL Cool J, im confused. For DMX i heard 5'9 and 6'1 nothign inbetween, but the Glenn pics put him inbetween those heights. 5'11 is the inbwteen heights of 5'9 and 6'1 though
Glenn says on 2/Dec/06
What do you look like Phil? try taking as many photos as I do,in high pressure situations.youll have all kinds of looks Einstein.

[Editor Rob: i deleted that little comment]
LuckyLuciano says on 29/Nov/06
5'8" is right he MUST be wearing lifts and Timberland shitkickers. I see him ALL THE TIME at Sunny Delights Bakery in Englewood NJ and a chinese buffet in Teaneck across the street from the armory and around town. Always looks high as hell and smells like weed. That pic is baffling^^^^^.
Glenn says on 22/Oct/06
I know Smoke.
Smoke says on 20/Oct/06
I am not being funny but he looks like he is 5"11 -6ft in the pics above.
Glenn says on 18/Oct/06
One of the mysterys of my life! swore he was 5-9,5-10.I have to ask him.
Alex says on 17/Oct/06
Like Viper said he looks 6'0 on the left, 5'11 on the right but I've heard of 5'9-5'10 listings of this guy. I am unsure about him.
Glenn says on 12/Oct/06
Hojos was there 4 years ago.could still be.
Brad says on 12/Oct/06
Looks 6' tall. He's from Yonkers. I wonder if that Howard Johnson's is still there next to the Cross County Shopping Center. My $ is still at the harness track there.
Glenn says on 10/Oct/06
I always thought he was 5-9.
Diverse says on 6/Oct/06
i thought he was shorter. like 5'7"... saw a picture of him getting arrested and he looked small. possibly the cops arresting him were like 6'2"... also because the comedian katt williams (who is very short, around 5'4"), was joking about how DMX was only a couple inches taller than him.
JK says on 6/Sep/06
looks Definetley 6ft, if Glenn is 5'8'' that is. coz he has 4 inches on Glenn.
Glenn says on 6/Sep/06
You never know,he could be 6ft.someone mentioned him listed at 6-1.Ill be damned that I never asked him.I figured it wasnt needed as he looked 5-9 to 5-10.he and Sly might hold the title for retractable spines.
dmeyer says on 5/Sep/06
even if they are 1.4 they arent elevators since most people wear 1 to 1.25 that add only 0.25 to 0.5 inches

[Editor Rob: yes, not huge, I'm just saying what I found a pair to give. I don't think Glenn is in less than 1 inch trainers these days, so they might be very close in footwear?

It becomes noticeable advantage when the other person is in something like a converse or racing thin shoes like hugh jackman wears a fair bit, then you've got a nearly 1 inch advantage]
JK says on 5/Sep/06
Louie, if he had 4 inches on Glenn that would make him 6'0'', coz Glenn says that he is 5'8''
dmeyer says on 4/Sep/06
he looks 4 inches on glenn possibly 5'11 also alwais wearing 1.3 inches tim boots so no elevator he wears them open

[Editor Rob: I finally borrowed a pair of larger heeled timberlands and done the old barefoot, then 'in shoes' measurement with them. I did measure as giving around 1.4ish inches advantage over barefoot, the insole wasn't that thick either...]
dmeyer says on 4/Sep/06
thanks rob i think he is aleast that since he didnt look too short near nearly 6 ft 5 seagal
Glenn says on 4/Sep/06
A true perplex.
JK says on 3/Sep/06
Yeah he could be a 6 footer, but by looking at the pic on the left he does look 5'11'' - 6'0''.
Glenn says on 28/Aug/06
Seriously Rob,5-11.this guy could even be more.but like I said a million times before,I have friends that appear 5-9 that stretch out to 5-11.
JK says on 18/Aug/06
Rob i think you should upgrade him to 5'11''
Glenn says on 17/Aug/06
Yeah but with Mr R,there was other short claims too.such as myself seeing 5-9.
D.J. says on 17/Aug/06
DMX looks at the very least, 5'11". Time to upgrade him.
JK says on 17/Aug/06
Rob, why does it say above ''5ft 8 Glenn beside BMX''?? BMX??
Jay says on 16/Aug/06
In the opening of DMX's video "Party Up" it shows a profile of him as the bank robbery suspect and it lists his height as 6'1" and weight as 190lbs.
JK says on 16/Aug/06
Rob I think you should upgrade him by an inch. Viper, i didn't get what you meant by a shapeshifter.
J. says on 15/Aug/06
DMX was always listed and described as 5'11", since the release of his first album. I never thought he was any shorter until Mr. R's claim. So, maybe X is 5'11" after all. He does have bad posture and a slim frame ...does this give a shorter-than-5'11" impression???

[Editor Rob: whilst I agree with a number of R's claims, I find some of them to be underestimated. Actually, I hope Mr R is alright, not heard from him in a while :-/ ]
MD says on 15/Aug/06
What I do know is that he's always, always in Timberlands. I was just flipping through the channels a few days ago and he was on some personal reality show where the camera followed him around. He went to a shoe store and bought like 11 pairs of Timberlands. That was it in terms of shoes.
Glenn says on 15/Aug/06
It is my white sneakers with near 2 inch soles.we might have to change this guy to 5-11.
Glenn says on 15/Aug/06
There is tall DMX sightings coming through.maybe he is TRULY 5-11.its this kind of shapeshifting creature that had me wondering if Mel Gibson was telling the truth of his 5-11 claim.and maybe Depp is 5-10.maybe Sly is 5-10.Colin is 5-11,etc,etc.well we know Mel is most likely no bigger than 5-9.but these other height chameleans are shifting without the help of lifts and heels.
JK says on 15/Aug/06
he looks a solid 5'11'' man, and the pictures show the truth

[Editor Rob: the truth is on glenn's face, *shock and awe*...glenn you remember what shoes you had on? there is some pics out there where he does look legit 5ft 11er]
Jake says on 15/Aug/06
What? This doesn't make sense. How is he that tall next to Glenn?
Glenn says on 14/Aug/06
Oh,another thing.this friend of mine who was actually a bad judge of height,would hang out with DMX in 2000,and would never discuss height and never had interest.he once made a comment about how short DMX was.when I asked how tall,he said"your height".though he was a bad judge of height,for him to comment on DMX means he left a short impression.the mystery continues.damn.Im asking him next time and telling him this discussion.I cant take this.
Glenn says on 14/Aug/06
Whats amazing is,his official height I read years ago was 5-10.and I saw 5-9.Mr R saw 5-8.I then saw 5-10 when I stood next to him.developed photo and then its 5-11.WHAT FUKIN BURNS me is that I was going to ask him his height and was embarresed to do so.and I figured whats the point.he looked 5-10.I doubt he is 6ft or 6-1,but it makes sense too, cause he looks that next to 6-5 Seagal.I swear Im 5-8!
DudeX says on 14/Aug/06
Glenn is 5'6'' IMO :P J/K
carl j says on 14/Aug/06
DMX has gotta be at least 5'11. I met him face to face once in NY and im 6'1.5 exactly he was wearing regular shoes and was almost as tall as me i was actuly suprised. he couldnt have been more than an inch shorter than me witch would make him about 6ft and his shoes add's like and inch so i would say 5'11 barefoot . .. no way hes 5'8 just look at him in the pic with glenn.
Glenn says on 14/Aug/06
In Mr Rs defense,he did look near my height from the distance.I have seen him once before looking 5-9.then when I got a foot near him and saw him near my friend who is 5-7,he appeared 5-10.then when I got the pics back,I was like WHOA,5-11.of course if you ask Frank2 who shrinks everyone,Im 5-6.DMX had gray Timbs on that seemed liftless,and he walked fine.he did have bad posture.very cool and down to earth.I was surprised at how cool he was.no wonder he doesnt look like a midget next to Seagle.this would make perfect sense to the theory that Seagle is 6-2.5 and wears boots and or lifts to appear 6-5.like he does next to me.maybe Seagle was liftless with 5-10,5-11 DMX.
Anonymity says on 14/Aug/06
DMX is not 5'10". I worked for a television company 6 years ago and saw DMX, even stood next to him. I'm 5'11", and he's about 2 inches taller than me, putting him at about 6'1". It's true, he was in Timberland boots when I saw him; at that time, he clearly stood around 6'1".
JK says on 14/Aug/06
Dmx looks 5'11.5'' to me in the pic at on the left, i always thought he was 5'10''.
dmeyer says on 14/Aug/06
he looks taller than farrell compare to you
dmeyer says on 14/Aug/06
he looks 3 inches on glenn maybe 4 so 5 11 maybe
Editor Rob says on 14/Aug/06
Just reading through some older comments this page, a few folk estimated him around 5ft 10. He certainly does not look like what Mr. R had thought, 5ft 8...

Here is a couple of snaps of glenn with dmx.
Glenn says on 4/Aug/06
Finally got 2 photos with him 3 weeks ago.he is one those short looking weak 5-10s.I thought he was near my height when I saw him until I stood next to him.Tupac was a 5-9 guy that would give a 5-10,5-11 impression to me.in his heels.
dmeyer says on 3/Aug/06
he didnt look that small near seagal he is aleast 5 10
J. says on 24/Jun/06
One thing that I can say about DMX is that he's never out of his Timberlands. Never seen this guy in sneakers.
MD says on 23/Jun/06
Nope, he's not 5'7". Viper, you're estimates are always so extreme, and I though I was bad.
Glenn says on 23/Jun/06
Thank you Viper.
Glenn says on 22/Jun/06
He is 5-9.I was ironically in court with him once.yeah,I know he looks 6ft on screen.at least mr R backs my claim.its not until you actually meet these people,that you can try to gauge some truth.
7 says on 21/Jun/06
rob DMX is not closer 2 5ft 8in hes like 5ft 10in to 5ft 11in
MD says on 18/Mar/06
Editor Rob, do you want to check thise one?

[Editor Rob: first comment back 23rd march 05 I mentioned the dmx/whalberg photo where I could see him looking short, although in most pics I don't think he can always look quite that short]
mefman says on 15/Mar/06
dmx was on the cover of XXL magazine about 7 years ago with Jay-z(6'1) and ja rule(5"8), he was ALOT shorter than jay and maybe a half inch taller than Ja...so hes like 5"8 1/2
MeLiSsA says on 21/Feb/06
My friends saw him at the mall and have a pic w/ him and one of my friends is about a little taller than me 5'7 and DMX was a lot taller than her
Joeblo says on 26/Dec/05
Again, he's about 5'10. I'm not one to make people taller than they are, don't care
much for his music or lifestyle, but true is true.
nana says on 1/Sep/05
i did see him in Trippin with CameronDiaz n Rebecca Romjin.. they are taller than him like 1-2 inch.. they were wearing sport shoes at that time..
djkayris says on 11/Aug/05
dmx is like 5'11 i met him at jay-z's last concert in detroit and we almost saw eye to eye im 6'1-1/2" he was taller than i thought
Chris says on 29/Jul/05
I met Earl "DMX" in Chicago a few years ago. He was recording an album near the bar where I worked. I am 5'10 1/2" exactly and he was definitely shorter than me. I saw him numerous times. No taller than 5'9" probably 5'8"
Mr. R says on 5/Jul/05
I met DMX in Vegas at the Billboard Awards, on level ground, he was wearing regular shoes. I had to look down aways to talk with him, and I am 5'11.5". At best he is 5'8".
duc.k says on 4/Jul/05
Met him a few times in N N.Y he defantly around my height 5'10
rdogg says on 20/Jun/05
I met DMX after a concert back in 1999. I am 5'11.5 and he was a little shorter than me. I would say he is about 5'10.
Joeblo says on 14/Apr/05
Bullsh*t. He's 5'9 1/2 -5'10. I worked on "We Right Here" music video in 2001 in Baltimore and I helped him up a ladder so we were face to face and I'm 5'8 legit (just got measured on a medical scale) and he had a good 2 inches on me.
Mr. R says on 23/Mar/05
J, if I am truly honest, he seemed between 5'7-8" when I saw him. It was a few years ago at the MGM Grand in Vegas after the Billboard Music Awards. He walked past me, and I congratulated him on his win. At which point, he stopped came back and talked with me for a bit. He is 5'8" ON A GOOD DAY!
