Another fail whale moment for DMX! The troubled rapper was recently busted for drugs while in jail. And now his jail stay has been extended. So much for hope for DMX. Real talk, enough with the fuckery…this is just getting ridiculous! (RZA’s voice)

AHH reports, DMX has been cited for drug possession, failing and refusing a drug test and smoking, all during his incarceration.

The rapper, who was supposed to be released from jail on Wednesday (July 13th), will be locked up for at least another week and possibly longer.

DMX, born Earl Simmons, was sentenced to a year in prison in December of 2010, for failing to report to his probation officer and refusing to undergo drug treatment.

The rapper has been arrested six times in Maricopa County, Arizona, alone and at least once every year, since 1999.


I’m really starting to doubt there’s any hope for a better DMX. He’s just too caught up. SMH.

Damn…I knew it was too good to be true! DMX’s past catches up with him yet again. Yesterday, DMX turned himself into a Los Angeles courthouse and authorities transported him to a county lockup, where he will start serving a 90-day jail sentence for violating probation—from back in ’02 for a conviction for reckless driving. Here’s a video clip of DMX before heading back into jail….he’s gone forever!


Like Jay-Z said “X came through, caught a lighter fluid”…then again everyday a star is born- on to the next one! And to think it was all good just a week ago, when Lil’ Kim brought him out on stage for “Money, Power, Respect”. What a tease!

This past weekend Arizona fans got a special treat at Lil’ Kim’s show, when she brought out the dog aka DMX on the stage to perform their 1998 collabo classic “Money, Power, Respect” from The L.O.X.’s album. We already know Lil’ Kim is working on some new material, there’s word DMX is planning a comeback too…that ought to be TIGHT. As much as I love DMX and want him to desperately return in the game, I wonder if his time has passed. Something tells me DMX would have better luck with reality TV. #imjustsayin


THOUGHTS?!

VH1 did it with this “Behind the Music” episode about DMX. Such a great story…sad but good! Wish he’d get it together and comeback!

What do DMX, Lil Wayne and Gucci Mane all have in common?…besides the fact that they’re all rappers of course! Well, they all have a tough time staying out of trouble. As for Gucci Mane and DMX, these two fools just can’t keep themselves out of prison. Last year, Gucci Mane was on his way to mainstream stardom, hitting the studio with diva Mariah Carey and a few other big names in the music biz while cranking out his own hits– but he put a dent in his career by getting locked up…again! Now his new home/studio is a 6×8 prison cell in Georgia where he’s currently doing a six month bid after violating his probation last year. In a recent interview with The Associated Press, Gucci admits that not only has he finally learned his lesson, but he can’t wait to get out of the pen. He says,

“Unfortunately I’ve been to jail a couple times. Anytime I come in it’s difficult to make music, write songs. This time, I have a peace within me. I’ve been so excited to get out. I’ve written about 50 to 60 songs”. Adding, “Before I make an action, think about the consequences. … Any decision I make is a heavy decision. I got a lot of people who depend on me. Everything I do has so much weight on it”.

And as for all the paper he’s lost while being locked up, he’s certain that he’ll make it all back.

“With money and selling CDs, I can always do that. I believe I can make all the money I’ve missed the last six months. But I can’t regain the time with fans and family.”

In related news, Gucci Mane plans to drop his new mixtape The BurrPrint 2HD on April 13th which features Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj, Jim Jones, Waka Flocka, OJ The Juice, Trey Songz and more.

I hope that once he’s released his a$$ doesn’t end up behind bars…again! What ever happened to the three strikes law?

DMX does it again! This time he got caught riding dirty in Arizona with possession of cocaine and for violating his parole. I mean are you surprised. Meanwhile his attorney backs him up claiming he’s just addicted:


DMX’s lawyer Gary Jenkins acknowledged that the rapper is still suffering from well-documented drug addiction issues, but hoped he could stage a celebrity intervention.

“He’s been battling addiction for some time and he’s in need of treatment,” Jenkins stated to TMZ. “We’re hoping that maybe Dr. Drew might be able to help him. He’s a talented man…we’re praying for him.”


Here’s footage of the dog going ballistic while in court yesterday. You can’t make this stuff up!

“I’m the only one got arrested today … f**king c**ksuckers do it every time man … I get my rights violated but I gotta be quiet about it … f**king bitch man.”

Somebody get this man a reality show…VH1, MTV, E!, but please not BET! “Celebrity Rehab”? The ratings for that show will go through the roof with DMX casted.

DMX and his crew get all up in security’s faces at a Colorado Springs charity event. After showing up 2 hours late, he was determined to hit the stage, but the renta-cops weren’t having it.

Word is he eventually got on stage — but the sound system was reportedly turned off so he couldn’t perform. Only at a DMX show would such mess go down!

POP THE HOOD FOR MORE MAYHEM!

Now that the dog has been set loose, he’s itching to get back in the booth. DMX revealed to MTV that he plans to drop two albums soon and wants to drop them on the same day. Now I don’t know how he plans to do that, but where there’s a will…there’s definitely a way.

“I’m hungry, I’m grounded.” Adding, “I’ve always been grounded. But I’m hungrier. There’s so much bullsh– out there. I’m not gonna get into the names. You know who you are. There’s so much bullsh– out there. The streets won’t let me forget that they need me and I need them.”

Real talk, is DMX really what the game’s been missing?! I think so! Hip-hop is definitely missing that rawness.
