DMX to be Released From Prison This Summer

DMX will be a free man sooner than expected. After being sentenced to nearly a year behind bars for violating his probation, the embattled MC will be released on July 1. Once a free man, X -- born Earl Simmons -- will be under supervised watch until August 12.

Not long after his incarceration, the judge in the case also ruled that X may suffer from bi-polar disorder, which resulted in him being moved to the Flamenco Mental Health unit section of the facility.

The Yonkers, N.Y. native ran into trouble in Arizona following a show in Maricopa County, where he was apprehended and failed to submit to a drug test, and was believed to be under the influence of cocaine. "I shouldn't have done it," he said. "I wasn't done with the program. They let me out to do the show. I should have protected myself better."

Once a major staple in the hip-hop game, the former member of the Ruff Ryders has experienced a steep fall from grace, which has been rooted around his admitted drug addiction. Over the past few years, the 40-year-old has been incarcerated a total of 13 times for various offenses.

DMX, I wish you the best of luck now and when you return to the industry. Addiction has no name,no face,no color or creed but you are an amazing entertainer and I hope once home you will

DMX was a gr8 talent and something we have been needing 4 a hot min. He came on the scene when Biggie and 2pac had been murdered so we needed an alternative 2 the Puff Daddy shinny suit era.Speaking of 2pac no 1 will ever admit that DMX is/was a 2pac clone this guy bit 2pac's swag 2 the fullest. Quiet as it's kept every1 can see that. I do hope he can do something positive and make good music again. Where my Dogs @ ?!!

13 TIMES and they are going after Sovereign Americans?

A nation of SHEOPLE breeds a TREASONOUS TYRANNY of WOLVES.

There is a way to fix all this & end the biggest Police State in the World with less than 5% of the Population and 25% of the Earth's Prisoners...POLICE STATE is HUGE business it probably can compete w/Walmart as the biggest business on Earth.

Why does he need lethal injection? Has he killed someone? And what makes you think that he has the qualifications needed to work in the Obama Administration in any capacity?

You can take the jig out of the ghetto, but ya can't take the ghetto out of the jig. Unfortunately many Americans seem to look up to/ admire/emulate this lack of culture -- I don't get it.

Can any of u trailer trash, toxic waste, bio hazard, serial KKKillers, sex with farm animal, President Obama h8n ass bitches, pause 4 1 second ......u say DMX...I say Charlie Sheen and Lindsay Cokehead 4 every1 u call on African Americans, I can name 2 or 3 on u KKKracka boys u say O.J. I say Jeffery Dauhmer,u say crackhead I say Meth-head, u say Mike Vick I say Sarah Palin u say "u act so ghetto" I say "u act so trailer trashy". My point is no race is better or more superior than the other, tho I do question if this thing were turned around would the KKKracka race been able 2 survive slavery if we had went 2 Europe and made u work 4 free 4 generations change your name separate your families etc,would u all still be here 2 this day? Physically u would not have lasted the sun is not kind 2 u all. They had no sun block back then. Oh by the way 2 those who would say I am racist I have sex with White women on a regular. Smooches haterz.
