The DMX Challenge is attracting the netizens and particularly Earl lovers very much. While some are excited posing for the video, others are disappointed to discover that it had nothing to do with freestyle rapping.

A few reactions took a turn after they heard of all the women listed in the song. Perhaps, DMX wasn’t listed several women, but only one lady showing her different personalities. Some even pointed out the dark side to this black girl magic, as a few commenters said that we are living in the age of facial recognition software.
