Its been a long time since i've heard DMX & arrested in the same sentence.  Must be a world record for him going a long time without getting arrested.  DMX & getting arrested is as normal as the sun rising from the east, someone getting shot dead in oakland, some shitty driver in so-cal hitting a pedestrian & running away like a coward. 

AND WHAT THE FUCK, EH?!  With DMX having 12 kids!  Someone needs to tell him about Magic Johnson, heck...Dominique Rodgers Cromartie, Shawn Kemp or some of these current athletes.  He needs 2 either use protection or at least get Dwight Howard's lawyer, as in getting not so high child support payments.  Its high but not high as others.  I know Puffy & Nas would like that lawyer with what they're paying monthly.
