Given that it's been three years since DMX's last album...which might as well be 10 years given how fast hip-hop's tastes move...anyone want to handicap if he's going to return to multi-plat form with this summer's album? By the way, he just signed with Sony Urban after ditching Def Jam.

Is this a serious question?
Dude's been done. It's not like he went out on top three years ago or anything.
He should just stick to movies. Not that I wanna see any of them.
Doesn't he (think he) work(s) for the FBI???
that raises another question, what rappers have made successful comebacks?... i'm having trouble thinking of anyone who was big laying low and coming back to be big again
probably not, but i'd still like to hear new stuff from dude. 'give em what they want' was aiight
G-Unit rumors at least its Sony. Single works or he's toast
His moves during his absence on the scene we're more entertaining than most of his recent output.
That bathroom fight with the european lil jon fan
hilarity
I could be wrong Faux, but this last album still debuted #1 and went multiplatinum. I'm not suggesting dude is still red hot but it's not like he flopped hard and then disappeared.
As for his legal troubles, I think they're mostly done. For now.
It was certified one-time platinum, and I have a hard time believing that it actually sold anywhere near a million copies as I never once heard the single even on NY radio.
He's done.
Imagine the DMX "Laffy Taffy" remix.
"that laffy taffy...WHAT?!...that laffy taffy...WHAT?!"
Dude, that movie he did with Steven Seagal was off the hook insane. In the opening sequence, Seagal blows up a helicopter by shooting it with a pistol. It just gets crazier from there.
Legal troubles aside. Hasn't dude pissed off enough people by not showing up to shit? Be it media/gigs/etc?
But yeah... Has he ever done an album that sold under a mill?
hilarious!
"He is now the only artist in the history of the Billboard Charts to have his first five albums debut at number one on the Billboard Charts."
More great DMX Trivia..
"6th best selling rapper of all time."
"Beat rapper Jay-Z in a rap battle."
"Was hit by a drunk driver when he was a little kid."
"Has a religion-related skit on each of his CDs."
"His family was a Jehovah's Witness when he was young."
i think dude still has the potential to put out decent songs, but i'm doubtful of a "comeback"
Wasn't there a Swizz-produced 12"? I remember getting it in the pool.
Then I remember selling it.
Need I say more? What a giant deusche - and I can't see any turd sandwich that's in the running with him.
somebody watched south park last night!
Is that how you spell douche? Deusche looks like something relating to germany

Yea the spelling of that word has always been a mystery to me. I think I did spell something else entirely.
LILBOW WOWYou're not wrong. His last album debuted at number one, making him the first artist to have 5 consecutive records debut at #1.
I wouldn't count dude out. He could hit big easily.
I don't own one, but if someone gave me a copy, selling it to Disc-Go-Round wouldn't even cross my mind (read: the Chuck Norris comparison).
