Gemme a break, it's DMX. I'm not intimately familiar with his criminal history but let's just say its quite lengthy. He's one of the craziest motherfuckers out there (actually bipolar) and not exactly a role model. It's not like he's overcome his past or anything. Numerous drug and assault charges. An attempted carjacking. They just raided one of his houses and found a slew of dead dogs a la Mike Vick.
Mike Vick gets 23 months, what should DMX get? GET AT ME DOG! AR AR!
But hey go ahead and listen to him preach. He says some deep shit on there.
