Regardless of his continuing legal issues, and having released only one album in the last seven years, DMX is still finding high-profile work.
AllHipHop reports that Dark Man X will be featured in a comedic jail scene in a new, currently untitled Chris Rock Movie.
X’s camp release an official statement, writing, “The scene is comedic which allowed X to show off his versatility as an actor. X and Rock played well off each other and Rock’s character even gets DMX to lead the inmates in a song. There are more acting roles to come and DMX is also planning on attending the Sundance Film Festival in January.”
Below is a photo from the film set:
DMX has starred in several feature films, including 1998’s Belly, 2000’s Romeo Must Die, 2001’s Exit Wounds, and 2003’s Cradle 2 the Grave.
Chris Rock has collaborated with a range of Hip Hop artists in various capacities, including being featured on Method Man’s Tical 2000: Judgement Day, Ludacris’ Theater of the Mind, and Kanye West’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Rock will also reportedly be narrating Busta Rhymes’ E.L.E. II album, and has been pictured in the studio this year with Eminem.

Good to see him getting involved in some projects.
I see this being funny as shit.
So he gonna play a felon?
It’s a shame that X has to resort to starring in low budget films, that’s what happens when you try to go up against drizzy Drake the god. Drake is the type of nigga that make’s others irrelevant, just ask Common and Chris Brown.
GTFOH with that shit Drake is a joke. he can’t rap and sing. But half of the shit that’s out now is Garbage. you must be a youngster…..
You are a damn fool. DMX and Common are LEGENDS. There is nothing that Drake can do to take that from them. Now go sit your ass down, watch cartoons, and eat some rice cakes you squinty eyed irrelevant bastard.
Chris Rock & low budget don’t mix
degrassi was low budget my nicca
Yeah well Drake’s payroll isn’t
money isnt everything
Nice to see X gettin back on his feet and making that paper
He probably got paid a few thousand.
After talks with Martin Scorsese there will be a movie about the life of Gucci Mane. It will have the same impact as the movie GOODFELLAZ. i can confirm that the title will be: “Trap House the movie” Stay tuned for more information about the realest rapper ever.
“You are a damn fool. DMX and Common are LEGENDS. There is nothing that Drake can do to take that from them”
Last time I checked Drake wasn’t in competition with those two. Even if he was it wouldn’t be hard to break them into pieces. DMX is done for, and Common has never gone platinum.
Good joke.
im sick of hearing people say people are wack just because they havent gone platinum. It isnt about that! if an artist is dope then they are dope regardless of whether their music appeals to the mainstream audience! any real hip hop head would respect common as he never got greedy and made a trashy album, if he really wanted to go platinum he could have! but instead he ket it real.
^cosign @common is dope
please be CB4 part 2 or something
they would have to get Officer Ricky for that one
show how diverse his acting skills are? how is being yourself ( a jail bird) show diversity lmao
“common as he never got greedy and made a trashy album, if he really wanted to go platinum he could have!”
Nobody said he had to make a trashy album to go platinum. Just a more mainstream one. Nas did for years.
