We thought DMX's three-month prison stint would end the rapper's recent string of bad behavior, but it looks like X has managed to get in trouble in jail. The 38-year-old rapper, who's serving time for theft, drug possession and animal cruelty charges, was placed in lockdown for allegedly threatening to assault a prison guard.
TMZ reports that X refused to report for work and became verbally abusive to detention officers. The troubled rapper, whose real name is Earl Simmons, became agitated and told guards, "I already have a job and don't need this [insert expletive]." X then, allegedly, threatened to "assault somebody to get some respect."
The rapper was thrown into lockdown and placed on a special bread and water diet for his bad behavior. Way to go X.

He sounds very troubled. His actions are irrational. He needs less hate and more psychological intervention. Believe it or not Black males have psychological problems too. Some are bent on self destruction, some act out. He seems to be on a path of self destruction. I hope he gets on some meds to control his problems.
Why should I pay for aol when they let all the racists comments on all these boards? Jeve

Hi hon,
Listen, you pay for aol, including message boards, which includes freedom of speech. We may not agree with one word the racists utter, but we must defend their right to say it. It's one of the things that makes living in a free country so great.
Remeber, some teens and goofballs on these boards don't believe a word they are saying, they just try and inflame any conversation.
As to DMX, IF what is being said is true he is a thug. A thug is a thug is a thug: race, religion, ethnicity aren't important. Best wishes sweetie.

What this nutcase needs is a reality check. I do not care what his background is.
He went to prison of his own accord. He then mouths off there and wants special treatment? I think not!

Who is still paying for AOL??!! You can get it free for like 4 years. Contact AOL and tell them you want it free. They will stop charging you. The only thing you lose is online help and with all the help offered, you do not need that! Save your money!!

Actually, AOL is a privately owned corporation and Freedom of Speech doesn't extend here.
What "Freedom of Speech" we do have on AOL (and other privately owned corporations) is based on rules and regulations set in place by said corporation.

All rappers need psychological intervention. Get a real job and earn some real respect.

I never heard of this guy. I have to laugh at how many Home-Boys thought they would be scott free and able to do as they like after the Inauguration. Who's laughing now? And I'm glad the prisons are cracking down. Bread and water. Good.

Is this the kind of change President Obama has talked about?

Just another waste of space and air and tax dollars. He should have to pay for his own incarceration

When are people with his mindset going to learn the respect is earned. Respect is not something you are going to get with threats or money. What a dumba$$ move on his part.
