We've all seen DMX battle his inner demons over the past few years. Trouble with the law and drugs have kept him in jail more than the recording booth during that time. He sat down with Mesa, Arizona's ABC15, recently for one of his more candid interviews to talk about everything from his mental health to new music.
Since being released from an Arizona prison two weeks ago X has started on a new album. He already has ten songs recorded, and is looking to regain a position at the top of the rap game.
"There will never be another me, never," Dark Man told ABC15. "To this date I have records that have yet to be broken."
The 40-year old, born Earl Simmons, says his new addiction is music. That, along with prayer he hopes will keep him away from drugs.
"I start the day off with a prayer, and ask the Lord to guide my steps," X said when asked how he is staying clean and sober. "Every album there's a gospel song and a prayer."
When X was sentencing last year for parole violation Judge Christine Mulleneaux, told him she thought he had “an undiagnosed mental condition.” For the first time he spoke about being bi-polar -- saying he sometimes can't separate DMX from Earl Simmons.
"I used to really clear on who was what -- and what characteristics each personality had, but I don't know at this point if there is a difference."
Sounds like X is still trying to find himself. We wish him the best and hope he can stay clean.

The latest in designer contact lenses will put a twinkle in your eye and lighten your wallet considerably at the same time.
Shekhar Eye Research has developed new custom-made, gold-plated contact lenses that feature 18 diamonds. They retail for $15,000.
Creator Chandrashekhar Chawan, predicts the contacts will become a big hit for those not satisfied with simply wearing jewelry on their bodies.
“I got mixed responses — some said its looks scary, but most of the people loved it,” Chawan told TODAY.com. “Bollywood personalities loved the concept, that it’s going to be ‘in thing’ in fashion soon. Look at Lady Gaga and her followers. People take time to digest [new fashion], until some celebrity starts using it.”
Although the contacts look like they might be uncomfortable to wear, Chawan claims they are perfectly safe. He uses Chandra Boston Scleral lenses, a product normally used to treat eye illnesses, to hold the jewelry part of the lenses in such a way that it does not touch on the cornea.
It probably won't be long before a rappers try this out, so let the countdown begin.

Never one to shy away from discussions about the Illuminati, Freemasons, and secret societies -- Prodigy of Mobb Deep was a guest on the Alex Jones Show today.
Among the topics discussed were the 9/11 attacks and President Obama.
"My view on [Obama] number 1, is you can't be a President of the United States unless you're a part of this bloodline that they got going on that goes all the way back to European royalty," P said. "They got this bloodline going on and whether people believe it or not, it's very real. You will not be an American President unless you are linked and a part of this bloodline and Obama is. That's why he was placed where he is now," Prodigy further explained. "I heard people say 'well all humans are related.' Nah I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about first, third, fourth, fifth cousins. Like this is your family. Obama is a part of that whether he knows it or not. I can only assume and look at the facts. From what I see he's down with this conspiracy to rule the world basically. To brainwash people and to kill people... genocide. Everything that's going on out here that is just so fantastic you really don't want to believe it -- Obama is down with it."
Peep the rest of the interview below as P talks more about the Illuminati and why he believes they carried out the 9/11 attacks as part of a satanic ritual.

Check out the latest visuals from that project featuring Cory Gunz and The Alchemist on the production.
Soulja Boy announced this morning he would be removing his trademark tattoos from his face.
Although he didn't give a specific reason, it is known that Soulja has delved into acting recently with the movie 'Juice.' It's possible the just turned 21-year old is looking to transition into more roles.
What do you think about Soulja's decision? And how do you feel about face tattoos in general?

The much talked about collaboration between D-Block and the Wu Tang Clan has come to fruition. If this joint is any indication of what the project is going to sound like then it's going to be a scorcher.

Jennifer Lopez's new photo shoot for Vanity Fair has the people over at PETA upset.
J Lo is seen wearing an Arctic Fox fur coat, and nothing else in a new photo for Vanity Fair's September issue. The picture prompted a statement from PETA spokesperson Dan Mathews.
"People who wear fur are either ignorant or arrogant about animal suffering. J-Lo is situated firmly in the arrogant camp," Mathews told The Sun.
Lopez is the latest celebrity to feel the wrath of PETA. Janet Jackson, Lady Gaga and Kim Kardashian are just a few of the entertainers that have been criticized by the animal rights group.
Criticism aside, the 42-year old J Lo looks better than ever. Check out her behind the scenes shoot with Mario Testino below.

Hard work is paying off in a big way for Kelly Rowland.
The singer's third studio album 'Here I Am,' has landed on top of Billboard's Top Hip-Hop/R&B chart, after moving over 75,000 units in it's opening week. Those numbers were also good enough for her to grab the # 3 spot on Billboard's Top 200.
The album's success has been fueled by her smash hit single "Motivation," which features Lil Wayne.
I think it's safe to say that the 30-year old is no longer in Beyonce's shadow, and is ready to take her rightful place as one of the best singers in the business.

Given the superlative nature and awesome speed of Bugatti’s already-legendary, 250-plus-mph Veyron supercar, interest in the manufacturer’s follow-up is intense. The company had previously gone on record as saying that its next model wouldn’t be a supercar, but details were scant—until now. In a recent article from the German magazine Auto Motor und Sport, Bugatti CEO Wolfgang Dürheimer confirms that the new car will be in the vein of the controversial 16 C Galibier concept, which we examined (and this scribe didn’t particularly like) back in 2009. It will seat four and have a generous trunk, Dürheimer says; you can bet that a set of fitted luggage will be one of the pricey options. We care somewhat more about what’s fitted up front, of course, which the article claims will be a 16-cylinder powerplant, although output wasn’t mentioned. (The W-16 under the Galibier’s butterfly bonnet delivers a mere 800 hp, somewhat less than the 1001 churned up by the 8.0-liter W-16 in the mid-engine Veyron.) The Galibier concept is big, though, so don’t expect Veyron-esque, sub-three-second 0-to-60 sprints no matter how much carbon fiber and aluminum the new car contains. Interestingly, a hybrid model (presumably a plug-in) is on the docket as well, with an electric-only driving range of about 25 miles, according to Dürheimer.
Also interesting is Dürheimer’s hope of selling between 1000 and 1500 of the super-luxe conveyance over the course of its lifetime, roughly triple the number of Veyron coupes and Grand Sport convertibles Bugatti has built since 2004. The story also projects that the big Bug will go on sale during the fall of 2012, about a year earlier than most stated projections. How much will it cost? Dürheimer says it will command at least €1M, which amounts to about $1.42 million at today’s exchange rates.
