SWAT Team Comes for DMX

After months of relative quiet, DMX has gotten right back into the swing of things with two high profile arrests in less than four days.
From the AP:
DMX was arrested on drug and animal-cruelty charges following an overnight raid on the rapper’s house Friday, authorities said.
ADVERTISEMENTThe 37-year-old rapper, whose given name is Earl Simmons, initially tried to barricade himself in his bedroom but emerged when a SWAT team entered his north Phoenix home during the 3 a.m. raid, sheriff’s spokesman Capt. Paul Chagolla said.
The arrest and search warrants stemmed from indictments for felony drug possession and misdemeanor animal cruelty charges. He made an initial court appearance Friday where bail was sent at $7,500, said his local attorney, Cameron Morgan. Morgan said he expected bail to be posted quickly.
X’s attorney, Murray Richman, says he warned the rapper that something like this was likely to happen, and earlier this week Psycho Sheriff Joe Arpaio hinted that animal abuse charges might be imminent. During the raid, deputies found and confiscated 5 more pit bull puppies. They also raided a nearby Mayo clinic in connection with “a potential fraud scheme involving the rapper.”
“A guy like this DMX character with all his money and fame has no excuse for not providing proper care for his animals.†- Sheriff Arpaio

“He said, ‘I am fine, I can continue walking,’ and they put their legs behind his knees and knocked him over his knees and started hog-carrying him, then they placed him up face up and Cedric was like please dont pepper spray me … It was uncalled for, it was ludicrous, no point for itâ€

^LOL .. It’s dark and hell is hot = classic..

despite X’s obvious self destructive nature.. he has set a few records in music in all genres.
If I’m not mistaken he was the first recording artist EVER to have his first five albums open at Number 1.
First with two number 1 albums in the same year.
I think I’m correct but someone check the stats on that word to Tony Reali
