DMX is still the undisputed king of cracked out interviews. Hit the play button for evidence.

Sometimes the only thing separating a Fif from a Ja is one smart move.

Pesky decisions swarm us daily in life, like a troop of blind killer bees. Most of us just swat them with the slipshod petulance of a dog’s tail. But our hip-hop heroes know better, because when it comes to running a career into the ground or digging a hole bigger than the U.S. deficit, no one knows better than rappers. Here are 13 hip-hop artists to meditate on next time you run into an occupational obstacle, for they are the ones who made modern rap’s worst career moves. (– Rizoh)

I’ll understand if you stopped reading because this post deals with certified nut case DMX. I was a disciple of the Ruff Ryders movement, so I’m glad to see X rocking that Double-R gear once again.

The last few years have been a whirlwind for DMX. On one hand, X is a multi-platinum rapper and one of the foremost rapper-turned-actors in the business; On the other, he’s one of the most disturbed and unstable figures in entertainment.

That unfortunate career side note acknowledged, we are left at a place that we have not been in years: discussing DMX. Read the rest of this entry »

When I first plugged this DMX interview on Cuban Linx, I didn’t realize how much knowledge X was dropping on fools. Folks, this isn’t the same X that once told Obama to “get the f*ck outta here with that name.” This DMX is a changed man. Despite the constant probing about his obviously positive poetry by that asinine reporter John Hook, X was cool, calm, and articulate throughout the interview. This revamped X carries with him the aura of a minister and his forthcoming gospel debut, The Gospel According to X, is said to vibrate with superlatives that will make him a venerable hip-hop figure once again. Watch and be amazed.

For all of you who wept when the evil suits at Def Jam released a lame DMX Greatest Hits album, it’s time to weep again. They didn’t even bother to give it a title this time, because Playlist Your Way says it all.

Looks like Earl is off his rocker. Someone please pray for this man.
