Apparently, DMX, real name Earl Simmons, went under the pseudonym "Troy Jones" when he checked in to the Mayo Clinic last spring because he had pneumonia.. Using a fake name and a fake Social Security number, he tried to avoid paying a $7,500 bill.
The rapper's extensive rap sheet already includes busts on charges of outstanding warrants, misdemeanor animal cruelty and felony drug possession, speeding on a suspended license and attempted purchasing of cocaine and marijuana. July 18, 2008Cameron J's 50 State ChallengeJust yesterday, we got wind of WeMix user, Cameron J's fantastic idea. He wants to improve his skills by doing a collaboration with 1 user from every state. His goal is to make 50 songs, all with other WeMix users by the end of the year. Sounds pretty ambitious to us, but we think he can do it.

He told WeMix " I will continue to write and better myself as a musician... This is my dream... and I'm not stopping until I wake and its a reality."

July 15, 2008The death of Death Row Records?You all know their music well. TuPac. Snoop. Dre. They are the fathers of modern hip hop. And now their label is no longer theirs.
Death Row Records, the label that released albums by Tupac Shakur, Snoop Dogg, and Dr. Dre, was just auctioned off for a mere $24 million. New York-based Global Music Group Inc is now the owner of Death Row, including the back catalog and current artists contracts. The independent label now has ownership of many classic albums including Dr. Dre's "The Chronic," Shakur's "All Eyez on Me" and Snoop Dogg's "Doggystyle." In it's heyday in the mid-1990s, Death Row sold tens of millions of records. But since, it has collapsed in debt and mismanagement. July 14, 2008Luda's New CD - Sneak Preview!WEMIXERS!
