Ya know, if you wanna put a good twist on his constant convictions, at least he has something to rap about for the next like, two decades. Here’s what TMZ has to say about the newest stint in jail:

TMZ has learned X’s jail stint all stems from a 2002 reckless driving conviction. Turns out, DMX was placed on probation after he plead no contest to the crime … but has since violated his probation … and has been ordered to serve 90 days in a city jail facility.

Busta Rhymes gathers up an eclectic crew of artists for his remix to “Stop the Party,” which hasn’t really picked up much steam since it dropped (from what I can tell). DMX just got out of jail, so this is probably one of his first verses in a bit.

Stop the Party (Remix)

I guess this aired before or after the VH1 Hip Hop Honors show last night. I dunno. Take a look at this misguided fellow’s life, via VH1.

I don’t know what I was looking at earlier on Wikipedia, but for whatever reason, I wound up on DMX’s page looking at his sales figures. Yea, I know he was huge on the radio in his prime, but I don’t think I’ve ever looked at a list of numerical stats. Now these are unofficial since they’re from Wikipedia, but they do have some references from the RIAA and other music certification services:

It’s Dark and Hell is Hot –>4X Platinum

Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood –>3X Platinum

…And then There was X –>5X Platinum

The Great Depression –>Platinum

The Grand Champ –>Platinum

Year of the Dog –>?

For having that much success and being one of the top MC’s in the game, it’s sad to see him in a cycle of legal trouble and personal issues…but apparently, we haven’t seen the best of him yet…

Congrats to DMX for his ongoing arrest record of the decade, making him the most street credible rapper in the game.

But on the real, sad situation for DMX. He’s been on an endless cycle of arrests for various issues, but hopefully his addictions won’t go over certain boundaries (and what I really mean is, ultimately lead to his passing or other permanent damage). TMZ has attained the exclusive info on his arrest a few hours ago:

We’re told he allegedly violated the terms of his probation by using illegal drugs over the last nine months.
