dmx-sentenced-to-six-months

DMX was sentenced to six months in jail this morning in Phoenix.

From MSNBC.com

A judge has ordered rapper DMX to spend six months in a Phoenix jail for violating probation and to undergo a mental health evaluation.

DMX, whose real name is Earl Simmons, admitted in court Tuesday to a single violation of probation for failing a drug test last June. He was arrested March 9.

The 39-year-old rapper was released from jail in May after serving a 90-day sentence for felony convictions including cruelty to animals, theft and two drug counts.

Maricopa County Superior Court Commissioner Christine Mulleneaux says he could be released from jail earlier if he’s accepted into a drug rehabilitation program.
Celebrity doctor, Dr. Drew Pinsky’s drug rehab program presented the judge with a letter stating that they would like to work with DMX to beat his drug problem instead of sending him to jail.

    Damn, DMX has really fallen. I remember when there was a time he was a major player in the rap game / entertainment industry. Wow, he must be trying to do life on the installment plan. He has been in and out of jail more than Bobby Brown and that is sad.

    This crazy black man took his crazy A** into an ARIZONA court room talking loud first of all and secondly “On Camera” in I have to just put it in all caps..
    A R I Z O N A ! ! ! ! !
    He IS crazy!
    I live here and even I know better.
    This is McCain Country.
    He needed to move a long time time ago.
    Because trust, this state is definitely not PRO-BLACK!
    I wouldn’t be surprised if he were not hanging from a tree next.
    But for some reason, there are quite a few black men in Arizona who try to pull the race card here and ALWAYS loose.
    Dam!

    BEFORE THE HIGHER-UPS CAN MURDER A CELEBRITY, THEY DESTROY THEIR IMAGE FIRST, MUCH LIKE TUPAC AND MICHAEL JACKSON. WITH THE USE OF ONE OF THEIR TOOLS. *THE PRESS* THEY CONVINCE THE GRNERAL PUBLIC TO BELIEVE IN THE FAKE, DESTROYED IMAGE OF THE CELEBRITY. THEY CAN THEN EASILY SETUP A SCENARIO WHICH FITS IN WITH THE DESTROYED IMAGE, SO THAT THEIR BEHAVIOR DOES NOT SEEM OUT OF THE ORDINARY, THIS IS WHEN IT BECOMES EASY FOR THEM TO MURDER A CELEBRITY AND PASS IT OFF AS AN ‘ACCIDENT’ OR SUICIDE. SO WAKE UP TO SATAN’S WAYS AND SEARCH CHRIST THIS IS WHY THEY NEED DMX OUT OF THE WAY. TO KEEP YOU BLIND AND TAKE YOUR MONEY.

    Good point BEcounter23, and don’t forget O.J. and of course the list goes on.

    I don’t know what those niccas before me are talking about. OJ did it! Get over it (LOL) Black people DO murder, in case you didn’t realize that.

    DMX got off easy with just 6 months after all he’s done. The “higher-ups” didn’t make him do anything. I guess it’s never a black man’s fault when he does something illegal. I just shake my head at some of you niccas’ logic…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/CaliFemme23/ CaliFemme23

    Wow…I have to agree with LastManStandingTall on this one…When do black people that fukk up have to ever take responsibility for it? No one made Tupac carry guns or do stupid shyt, no one made Michael J let all those kids sleep in his damn bed, or get undressed in front of him. And no one made DMX sniff, snort, inhale, buy or sell any type of drug, it was his own choice. Y’all need to quit blaming the media and secret societies for people that made their own choices…Black men especially need to dot them ‘i’s and cross those ‘t’s because people are WAITING for them to fall. All DMX is doing is letting the ‘higher ups’ sit back and say..”Uh huh, yeap, thats what nyggers do!”…

    DMX has continued to talk against the grain and against the industry after his first album. He started incorporating more of God in his songs and the industry doesnt like that. If none ya’ll see the dumb down effect of these artist to our community then fire will continue to blaze and we will all go with it. When intelligence, faith, community and education has become uncool and negative then its time to watch what you feed your mouth, your ears and who you lay up with. if you dont know much about the industry and you dont have friends in the industry thatll share with you how it works then you are as naive as the next person thinking Obama is the first black president. Continuing to be in the dark is the easiest way to manipulate and control people, God gave you all your senses to use along with your common sense, critical thinking and logical thinking.

    Wow this article seems like somewhat like a Puff Daddy article typically accurately intentioned like the latest media take of his existance and exactly intentionally reacting like the tention of the concept he’s potrayed as.Like a coexistant to John Mclane the Die Hard cop straight antic spectacular.Hay maybe if DMX realy is in trouble and not by me or the hood so to speak he and those rat furballs tissue suppliers asociated with him should keep in mind to watch out for spiders and black mocinson snakes around his house like a typical Stupid ass house and field nigga might wan’t to besides tending to degrading themselves.As if this stufff is playing out to Mongrul the Return the Sequel.Like the saying goes ”Nigga aighn’t no b***h nigga b***h assing me”.Straight up and murder one on that s**t foreal.

    This is a easy fix. MOVE THE FCK OUT OF ARIZONA. DOG everything you do they’re watching you. You should have never come here with these rednecks. ARIZONA is a great place to lay low but rolling down the 101 at 3:15am doing 89MPH in freaking dodge dart with DMX stamped on the windshield when you just went to jail the week before for DWI,WEED,NO DRIVER LIC is not going to cut it then giving a reason to run up into you house finding dogs not being taken care of, guns, more dope. NIGGA you mistreat a dog in this town your done.

    DMX GET THE FCK OUT OF ARIZONA WITH YOUR DUMB S**T. THEY HATE NIGGAS, RAPPERS (LIL WAYNE GUNS-WEED) AND WASH UP BALL PLAYERS
    (CHARLES BARKLEY-DWI).

    GET SOME HELP BROTHER. GET CLEAN, SEE YOU KIDS MAN DAMN. FUK THE WEAK S**T ABOUT WHAT HAPPEN TO YOU. REBOOT SOMEPLACE ELSE!!!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/too_much7467/ too_much7467

    this dude love going to jail WTF? they must got some good food or something what’s the deal??????

    DO YOUR HOME WORK FOLKS. THEY DID NOT ARREST DMX FOR DRUGS, THAT IS WHAT THEY TOLD US AND MOSTLY EVERYONE BELIEVED. JUST WHAT THEY WANT YOU TO BELIEVE.

    WHEN ARE WE GOING TO WAKE UP FROM THE SPELL OF LEVIATHAN?

    THIS STARTED IN THE MID 90′S WITH THE INDUSTRY. IF YOU ARE TOO YOUNG TO RECALL OR WAS NOT HIP UNTIL 5YRS AFTER TUPAC SHAKUR WAS ASSASSINATED BY YOUR C.I.A, DO SOME HONEST RESEARCH. THIS HAS BEEN ONE OF THE BIGGEST SETUPS FROM THE GET UP!

    THIS IS YOUR BOY SEAN PUFFY COMBS AT WORK WITH THE FEDS. THE SETUP WITH PAC IN NYC WAS SUPPOSED TO PUT THE HEAT ON BIGGIE/BROOKLYN’S JUNIOR MAFIA AS A REASON TO STORM TROOP BED-STUY CAUSE WE WAS ALL GETTING BIG MONEY AND SAYING FLIP THE CORRUPT POLICE. BIGGIES WAS NOT STUPID AND NEVER CLAIMED, JUST TO BE CLAIMING, HE WAS INVOLVED. ONCE PAC GOT OUT TO CALIFORNIA AGAIN AND WAS ROLLING UNDER DEATH ROW, THE FEDS HAD A COVER TO GET PAC AND THEN SPREAD THE CONFUSION. INDUSTRY CONTROLLED AND MEDIA SPREAD COASTAL WARS WITH GOVERNMENT RUN ASSASSINS. BIGGIE KNEW HE COULD NOT FIGHT IT IN NYC, BUT HE KNEW EVENTUALLY, THEY GET HIM. CHECK THE LAST ALBUM. SHORTLY AFTER, BIGGIE GOT IT TOO. PUFFY DANCED AND SANG WITH LIL CEASE, ALL A SHOW, THEN MOVED ON TO A NEXT SET OF PAWNS IN THIS POLITICAL INDUSTRY GAME.

    KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT THE LOX, RUFF RYDERS, BIGGIE, SHINE, TUPAC, DEATH ROW, AND HOW BAD BOY ENTERTAINMENT AND THAT SNAKE ‘LL COOL JAY’ WAS LITERALLY, KILLING OUR REAL ARTIST. THIS IS REAL TALK!

    LOOK AT YOUR YOURSELF SOMETIME. ARE YOU REALLY IN TRUST OF YOUR NEWS REPORTERS? YOUR LOCAL NEWSPAPER IS NOW GOSPEL? WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR BIBLE AND JESUS STORIES AND THE SAYING, ‘LET HE THAT IS FREE OF SIN, CAST THE FIRST STONE’? YOUR COMPLETE TRUST IS IN GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS? THE FDA? FBI? CIA? ATM/ATF? NSA? YOU PEOPLE BETTER WAKE UP! AND WAKE UP QUICK FAST!

    I have heard of ‘Trash with Cash’ But this dude has coined a new term. N1ggers with 7 figures. I guess no amount of money will change a ghetto azz man. He look like your average street crack addict. Get yourself together, Bunz!
