DMX Plays His Favorite Jams For Judge, Gets Sent to Jail Anyway
Looks like everyone’s favorite gravel-voiced rapper won’t be shutting ‘em down or opening up shop for the remainder of 2018.
DMX has been sentenced to one year behind bars for tax fraud.
This despite playing one of his most memorable hits for the judge in hopes of getting off with a more lenient sentence.
Yes, it was an unusual legal strategy, but believe it or not, it may have paid off.
X (real name Earl Simmons) was facing five years behind bars for evading $ 1.7 million in taxes.
Manhattan federal Judge Jed Rakoff went easy on the father of 15 (!!!) with a one-year sentence, describing Simmons as “a good man” who is “his own worst enemy.”
It’s unclear if Rakoff was moved by the lyrics to “Slippin"” a 1998 DMX hit that Simmons’ lawyers played in court so that the judge could hear their clients’ story “in his own words.”
Whatever the case, Simmons got off light in terms of time behind bars, but he’ll be burdened by a heavy debt to Uncle Sam when he gets out.
The rapper has been ordered to pay $ 2.3 million in restitution
Prior to sentencing, Simmons wept and asked for leniency so that he could spend time with his 18-month-old son who suffers from a medical condition.
“I was in a cloud. I was in a cloud,” Simmons told the judge, attributing many of his past mistakes to drug use.
“I wasn’t thinking straight.”
“I didn’t believe that s–t stank,” Simmons continued.
This week’s sentencing is the latest in a long line of troubles for Simmons.
In 2016, the rapper nearly died of an overdose, and he has reportedly struggled to remain sober in the years since.
Prosecutors pushed for a harsher sentence, arguing that Simmons knew exactly what he was doing when he bilked the federal government out of millions.
“This is not a lapse in judgment. This is not a 1-year-old thing,” said assistant DA Richard Cooper.
Simmons has been in prison since January of this year when he violated his probation by testing positive for cocaine and opioids.

President Obama Slow Jams News with Jimmy Fallon, Mocks Donald Trump
President Barack Obama and his high approval rating were guests on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on Thursday night.
During his appearance, the Commander-in-Chief wrote some thank you notes, slow-jammed the news and took aim at Donald Trump.
Just hours prior to stopping by the program, Obama expressed his support for Hillary Clinton in the upcoming election.
He then received a standing ovation upon taking the stage to talk about the news in funny fashion alongside the host and some background music.
“President Obama stimulated long-term growth,” the comedian opened.
“In 2008, the country wasn’t feeling in the mood. It was too tired, stressed, said it had a headache. Barack lit some candles and got some silky satin sheets. Told the American people, ‘Yes, we can.’”
A smiling Obama added to his list of achievements:
“Same sex couples across the country now a constitutional right to marry, because love is love,” he said.
“Commander in preach!” Fallon replied, moving on to reference Beyonce and her latest album.
“When Republicans gave him lemons, he made so much lemonade Beyonce stated calling him ‘Baraky with the good hair."”
Will Obama stick around four more years?
“There will be no third term,” he replied. “I can’t stay forever. Besides, Daddy’s got a Hawaiian vacation booked in about 223 days, but who’s counting!”
Naturally, the Republican nominee for the highest office in the land also had to be brought up.
“Mr. President, since you’re here, I’ve got to ask: Have you been watching all the election coverage this week about Donald Trump?” sang Fallon.
“No, but I have been watching my new favorite show, Orange Is Not the New Black,” POTUS shot back.
Eh, not bad. We’ve seen the President make better jokes (see below).
The episode was taped on Wednesday.
Prior to Thursday initial broadcast, Fallon Tweeted:
“Tonight’s show makes me want to do this show forever. I’m so lucky to have this job and the people I work with. I hope you like it.”
We’re guessing between 50%- 55% of the country liked it a lot.
