DMX is testament to fact that raw talent means nothing without discipline, cunning and delayed gratification.
Lame half-rappers like Diddy are worth half a billion while talent rots in prison. Same goes for every type of human endevour.
Wish him luck but my money is on he'll be back in the pen within half a decade tops.

Aww shit! It's on now! You know an album is coming soon. He was likely sober and writing rhymes non stop in there. That new Lil Wayne album is legendary, so I expect similar for a new DMX album. Long layovers for legendary rappers usually gives good jams. Scarface, Shyne, UGK, etc.etc. When rappers take long breaks the next album or 2 will always have some serious heat in them.

It'll be interesting to see if a year in the clink has changed his rather outspoken views on homosexuality and crossdressing.
I don't think any label in this day and age is going to carry him if he keeps it
that real.
The public will judge a man by what he lifts, but those close to him will judge him by what he carries.

Amazing artist but at 15 kids the Child Support alone will put him in jail soon.

The 90s in rap music were amazing, and I've discussed it in other threads... rappers could say anything. DMX himself had lyrics about raping 15 year old girls in front of their fathers, Eminem talked about killing gay people. Now, well, the entire music industry is completely homogenised to the point of, well, pointlessness.
That said, DMX was never very talented. He was one of the round pegs that the music industry tried to fit into the Tupac shaped hole after he died. Of the commercially successful guys; Eminem, Jay, Nas, Wayne, and Drake are the absolute standouts since Tupac and Biggie died. And of those, not all (for me) are particularly talented - of course I mean Drake ha.

The 90s seem to have the best rap but a lot of the stars like DMX who were immensely popular got shafted due to Bad Timing. Rappers now with a tenth of talent his talent and eyes glued to him have much more monetary success.
I just wiki'ed his long ass wrap sheet. I don't think he'll be able to not break the laws for his 3 year supervised release. He needs another album release to break even with back taxes and child support for his 15 kids. Pushing 50 and having a drug habit I doubt he can pull it off.

Here’s to hoping he’ll stick to his guns.
