I had not idea he had served time *that* many times. At what point does the "3 strikes" deal kick in? I commented elsewhere on OSF how unfortunate it is that so many talented people cannot manage their demons. I went with a slightly take on OSF (well, for all but 1 of my choices). But as I was thinking about this slant to it, I was surprised at how many artists I could come up with who have records.

That is definitely a very complex dude, sure one of the best rappers in the game. His concert was one of my top 5 concerts of all time! I think he has the strangest relationship with God ever, some of his prayers are deeper and more compelling than some preachers and then he turns back in to DMX!!! He is definitely the Jekyll & Hyde of hip hop! Great pick! I was going to go with rappers but than I thought that was too easy, in most minds rappers and criminals is synonymous!
