DMX has revealed that Rick Ross reached out to him while behind bars showing interest in signing the gruff MC to his Maybach Music Group imprint. Speaking with VIBE.com, Dark Man X explained that Rawse’s people sent a letter to him in prison with the intention of getting him on the label.
“Rick Ross’ peoples wrote me a letter while I was in here,” he said. “Yeah like ‘Yo we got a home for you. We’ll pick you up in a limo. Just come to Miami. Just come, we got you.’”
X is considering their offer, but is afraid of getting tangled up in Ross’ Illuminati affiliation. “I’m thinking about it. It was a good feeling. I respect him as an artist, and I would like to work with him. But he got the whole Illuminati thing going on. I got fans who write me like ‘I’m glad you’re not a part of that.’ And I don’t know what it’s really about entirely. So it might be like a good thing.”
As of now, he’s up for a collaboration with Ross, but is lukewarm on the MMG deal. “Yeah. I have respect for him and he expressed interest that he wanted to work with me while I was out. So I definitely want do a song with him, but I don’t know about the record label thing. I would have to see what his camp is like and feel people out. I’m not the average artist.”
Please X, you’re the one of few artist i still got respect for. Don’t let us down…. Fuck MMG and fat pig Ross.
@Jeezy
LMAO off at you nigga. Jeezy career is finished. The nigga cant even get an album released. Gucci nearly finished his career and Ross bodied it. where that tm103 at. been hearin bout that shit for 2-3 years and it still aint out.
Bawse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this would be a bad look for x
dmx should have his own label and be signing niggas like ross
but he is’nt….next plan for the crackhead to get on his feat. Ross is doing a good job where mainstream hip hop is concerned. Atleast the artist he grabbing can actually spit, even if DMX don’t fit that mould
X isnt the businessman that ross turned out to be. He established the mold with Ruff Ryders but couldnt keep it together. He had a meanest roster in the day (lox, drag-on, eve, etc). Nobody has really found the balance in keeping a solid group/label (badboy, g-unit, terror squad, etc). The closest group that ever came to holding it down was dipset, and u see where they are at now (trying to regroup). mmG might be the first to be a true empire, but only time will tell.
Strange Music is the top label right now, indie or not.
@TwittaSpitta you forgot to mention the most successful group in Hip-Hop. The Wu-Tang Clan! 20 years strong and still moving.
what happened to dmx bloodline records ???
DMX has balls.
One of the greatest.
this would actually be good for X. he has proven time and time again that he cant take care of himself. he needs to niggas to babysit him
so true, swizz baby-sitted him for years, now I guess its rick ross’ turn…
Where all yo favorite rappers at. Rozay, along with Jay & Feminem the only niggas out makin bawse moves. Jeezy career is finished, 50 signin shitty ass niggas like Shawty LO while Ross tryin to get X. Ross hottest nigga in the game bitches.
Bawse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
why would u do that ?… ur one of the best rappers out there…why would u sign with that fat piece of trash…his garbage MMG + Young Money and Brick Squad = Death of Hiphop
Yeah, I don’t understand signing to a record label he could put an end to (which is needed in my opinion) in one song.
Thats my nigga X for life and yeah collabs would be dope. But he shouldnt get up in that mix and ross camp is wack as fuck so to tell ya the truth what kind of nigga that DMX look reppin MAYBACH MUSIC GGGRRRRR. it aint right infact he should start up something from the ground on up and find some real talent. point blank DMX 1 of the greastest of all time..
Hey, Ross has the finances for promotion/marketing and could EASILY match or exceed any offer from any major.
Ross must understand X has a ridiculous fanbase and can hold down an entire album DOLO and doesn’t NEED the MMG camp to be featured on X’s solo efforts. If X signs wit Ross, Teedra Moses HAS to be on his 1st single’s hook, though…shit!
Real talk.btw teedra moses has some nice hooks.
X, dont do it. please dont sign to that label. that label should change its name to WAY WACK MUSIC GROUP cuz their shit is wack (to say the least)
Rick Ross turned out to be quite the business man. I hope X brings real hiphop back to the forefront. I’d like to see these guys hook up for a featured track, but X has to keep it Ruff Ryders forever.
I would be interested in X going in on one of those classy symphonic rick ross beats, and ross going in on a dark man x cut. This type of collaboration is good.
I don’t think you should do it X. Ross is a phony raps about shit that he never lived. If you are a correctional officer like Ross, you can’t have a criminal history. So how does Ross come out and say he is all this shit when he had no criminal background because again you can’t to be a correctional officer or whatever
I think em should sign darkman. Maybe he can help him kick the coke habit. If em can go from taking 80 some pills a day to straight as an arrow sober insane spitter I think he can walk X through this. Shady’s been making a lot of power plays and this could be another one.
Probably wouldn’t ever happen though.
i allways wanted dr dre to pick up x
Nooooooooooooooooo!!! (Rambo’s voice & face)
I think he’s more fitted for Shady. But we’ll see.
Fuck signing to another rapper’s label. Go indie, man. He got the fan base (as someone below me mentioned). Go cater to ’em. With a flow, delivery, and overall presence on a track whatever he drops is sure to ring bells.
He don’t need no other rapper hyping him up. This is DMX!!! He’s his OWN hype man. All he needs is a couple tracks from Swizzy, a few of the Salaam Remi “Nasty”, “Made You Look” tracks and he’ll be buzzin’ like a bee on crack!!
Fuck another rapper’s label. DMX is a BRAND NAME!!! Use that shit to YOUR advantage, D!
Amen
Amen!
Thats The Truth
DMX IS NOT JUST A LABEL, HE’S A MOTHAFUCKIN’ MOVEMENT!!! FUCK OFFICER RICKY, HE CAN GO JERK OFF TO 2 GIRLS 1 CUP FOR ALL I CARE.
DMX, YOU GOT SOLDIERS ON THE STREETS, WE GOT YOU, IT’S THE DAMN MASONS/ILLUMINATI THAT TRYNNA DIM YOUR SHINE, CUZ YOU SPOKE ABOUT GOD, CUZ YOU ARE REAL, AND YOU GOT MAD RESPECT FROM THE G’S, EVERYWEHRE!!!
IF ANYBODY CAN BRING ‘TUPAC BACK’ IT AIN’T OFFICER RICKY (TUPAC WOULDA KNOCKED YOUR ASS OUT IF HE KNEW U DID THAT SONG!!!), IT’S DMX THAN CAN BRING TUPAC BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The irony of Officer Ricky sending DMX letters in jail.
X needs to get wit peeps who make them dark beats, we all kno he’s at his best wen spittin over them type of beats!!!
Imagine this: “Maybach Music (echo voice), Boss, Aurrrrgggh, Auff Auff, DMX, Lex Luger on the track bitch, shu shu shu shu…. (then a beat like B.M.F.” HAHAHA
LOL, I was just thinking about that! But you forgot ‘WHAAAAT! WHAAAAT!’ 😛
he first needs to stay out of fucken jail for more than 2 weeks before he gets a fucken deal.
Personally I’ll prefer if he got onto MMG just so he could get his shit together and then ditch dat name jacking cop turned rappa, but I don’t know if it’s best. X could be smart bout that shit, build enough alliances and pathways after joining the camp and enough cah of course and he cud get his own label, it’s bout time he got his own label anyway
are you forgetting about Bloodline Records? That was his label
It will be good for you x fuck these hating ass niggas
dis nigga dmx lyin lol smh
i dont give a shit if he signed with those retards at brick squad as long as he has some one pushing his albums out and he focuses on making music. well i do care, but ya’ll know what im getting at.
Power Move
DMX to focus on family and career after prison release.
http://www.prlog.org/11512860-dmx-to-focus-on-family-and-career-after-prison-release.html
It would be great if Strange Music would sign DMX. It would fit perfectly.
What! Strange Music and Tech Nine are putting in some serious and impressive work, but I don’t think any of Tech’s album on Strange have sold what X’s worst performing did in one, okay, two weeks. No X is not going to be moving 5-8 million units any more, but he needs a big machine behind him, not some mom and pop outfit.
Man DMX used to be my favorite rapper.. done fell the fuck off.
I’d lose what little respect I have left for X if he signed to officer ricky..
Come on X, get back to yo fucking roots.. holla at ya mans Swizzy and Jadakiss, they seem to be doing alright for themselves. Fuck officer ross.. Get back to that dark grimey new york school street shit X.. And this coming from a Miami dude.
Agree 100%. X is NOT made for MMG. Dude has his own style, his own attitude, and that would completely clash with MMG. X needs to be X and do his own thing…RUFF RYDERS
exactly, both jada and swiss are still relevant I don’t see the need for X to be Ross’ sidekick
LMAO…X at this point signing you is like signing shawty lo… yes you are unquestionably more talented but you’re also extremely unreliable. you’ve been either cracking it up or behind bars for the last what 5-10yrs? just be thankful dog. and that illuminatti shyt is for the mufukas that dont have time to focus on their own lives. no one gives a fuk that about illuminati bullshyt. all that matters is good music and the old X spittin over some of those beats that ross be picking would be str8 fire…
Don’t do it X !!! Just bring Ruff Ryders back, u got it, bring back the squad, u can lead this hip-hop game again ! U can do it maan, do go in the lex luger one type bullshit style songs.
X better not man, that’s like oil n vinegar, X is a REAL cat don’t mix up wit those lames….
what illuminati shit is he taklin about? som1 explain how ross is afiliated???!?!?!?!?
DMX HAS TO TAKE THIS DEAL. i can only imagine how hes gonna sound on those trunk 808 bangers ross has
Don’t listen to x he’s talking crazy….but yeah lets hope x ain’t lost his writing skills while being locked up.
Ross is a mason that’s why he getting all the deals now. young stupid people these days just call out everything illuminati but ross is a mason,go watch gorilla zoe – lost video ,when he introduces him on the stage he gives him the mason grip i know because im’a 13th degree mason too.
Okay………………
sure….now everyone on this site is talking crazy!
Yeah…and my 12 year old Labrador Retriever is a member of the Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. You all sound very silly with all of this BS talk.
lol at ppl in denial i smell fear
Yo X dont join these sellout faggotz mane these nigguz done sold they sold for that fame ,you done did it before you know how satanic the biz is ,they gonna make you do some shit you wont like being a big christian you are,pass on them coons X ,C.O. is a devil at the crossroad beleie dat,go indie and expose these homoz that runt the rap game now
X JUST NEEDS TO GET CLEAN FROM ALL THE DRUGS GET BACK WITH SWIZZY AND MAKE A CLASSIC AGAIN CALL IT AND THERE WAS X 2011
ehh I doubt Swizz has classic hiphop material in him anymore. and I doubt Alicia would let him hang with X if he doesnt even talk to Cassidy anymore
I ALSO THINK IF DMX WILL GET HIS HEAD RIGHT(MENTALLY)HE’LL DO WELL AND STOP GETTING INTO TROUBLE.
Whats the point!????
I loved DMX back in the day. But he aint the same nomore…
how u know it aint like he been releasing shit on constant basis for the last 3 years
Even though i like both Rawsse and X, Rozay is MMG while DMX is Ruff Ryders… Anyone know what i’m saying?
As much as i like these two rappers, X wouldn’t fit at all with MMG.
nigga all i know is these niggas know the truth fuck it nigga it is what it is
u feel meee
this anonymous nigga below me knows his shit bitches talk shit n they aint eait it nigga
DONT DO IT X!!!!
are you f–king kidding me?! DMX, signin’ with ex-parole officer Ricky?! Who got this news, this is straight GARBAGE.
RUFF RYDERS 4 LIIIIIIIIIIIIFE, even if they ain’t doin’ it anymore, I’m still Riding with the Double R.
DON’T DO IT!!! We gotta write to DMX and let him know that it would be a BAAAAAAAAD MOVE!!!
DMX IS NOT JUST A LABEL, HE’S A MOTHAFUCKIN’ MOVEMENT!!! FUCK OFFICER RICKY, HE CAN GO JERK OFF TO 2 GIRLS 1 CUP FOR ALL I CARE.
DMX, YOU GOT SOLDIERS ON THE STREETS, WE GOT YOU, IT’S THE DAMN MASONS/ILLUMINATI THAT TRYNNA DIM YOUR SHINE, CUZ YOU SPOKE ABOUT GOD, CUZ YOU ARE REAL, AND YOU GOT MAD RESPECT FROM THE G’S, EVERYWEHRE!!!
IF ANYBODY CAN BRING ‘TUPAC BACK’ IT AIN’T OFFICER RICKY (TUPAC WOULDA KNOCKED YOUR ASS OUT IF HE KNEW U DID THAT SONG!!!), IT’S DMX THAN CAN BRING TUPAC BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU PEOPLE DONT NOW WHATS REALLY GOING ON IN THE INDUSTRY THEY GIVE ROSS MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO SIGN ARTISTS JUST TO WRITE MIBD CONTROL MUSIC. I AM NOT A CONSPIRACY TERRORIST BUT IS IT LOGIC THAT A FORMER CO WHO GOT A RECORD DEAL SINCE 06′ HAVE THIS KIND OF MONEY
Well, you may not be a CONSPIRACY “terrorist”, but you’re definitely on the Grammar Police’s Watch List.
CORRECTION: NOBODY CAN BRING TUPAC BACK… CUZ HE NEVER LEFT!!! TUPAC 4 LIFE!!! FUCK OFFICER RICKY, I WISH PAC WAS ALIVE SO HE CAN BREAK YOUR FATASS NOSE YA EX-POPO PUNKASS BIIITCH!!!!
U don’t make any sense! You say Tupac never left and he’s right here with us alive and well but then u go on to contradict yourself by saying you also wish pac was here so he could break officer Ricky’s nose! I’d love for Pac to still be around but we don’t need him to beat down fatass Rick, damn I’ll do that shit myself if I run into his fake punk ass! If anyone deserves a good ass beatin it Ricky! Maybe if tmz got it on video Ricky would finally be a little humbled and shut his lying mouth for 5 minutes and just think how much weight he would lose also if he kept his mouth closed for 5 minutes haha!
Ross Representative: So X, we’ve got it all set up so you won’t have to be homeless when you leave prison. All you have to do is sign with us. What do you think?
DMX: ARF ARF *Growls*
HAHAHA
Fu$&!&@ hilarious!! That seriously made me burst out laughing and that isn’t an easy task!
What the fuck is X talking about he don’t know about the illuminati shit. When he was a part of a certain secret society believe it or not. How the fuck x think he got all them movies and extra shit he was doing x know what time it is. I hope x has seen the light and hopefully he wont join back up with that bullshit. Think im lyin look that shit up and not from the internet.
He got those roles and extra shit because people asked him to, why do you retards believe in that illuminati shit thats why hip hop isnt real anymore. Thats why I don’t fuck with hip hop as I use to.
deny deny just stfu in try in walk in a artist shoes first fkn spectators
@anom: Like i said do some real research and you will see that x was involved. The illuminati shit is real and when the shit hits the fan im a say I TOLD YOU SO. You cats who dont believe or are in denial are the real retards because your close minded. There is a bunch of shit that goes on everyday behind closed doors that effects everything that we do. X got those movies an extra shit because thats how the illuminati works to get the fame, money, and exposure you gotta give them something in return and its usually your soul and loyalty. But some of you are to fuckin dumb and close minded to realize that shit. Anyway I know what I know and x was involved in a certain secret society but he got kicked out because of his crack addiction. LIKE I SAID DONT BELIEVE ME LOOK IT UP AND NOT FROM THE INTERNET!!!! So you can believe what you want and ill continue to know what I know.
X is not even worth the trouble..I mean hes nuts..hes seriously nuts.
I can give a fuck less which label is pushing his albums.. aslong he stays true to his grimey shit and doesnt go all lex luger in this bitch im happy lol
Smh I was just watchin Backstage the other day… Back then X and Jay-Z were seen as equals. Now X is considering signing with an artist Jay-Z put on.
Watchin how different everybody’s lives turned out from that tour is crazy. X, Ja Rule, Red & Meth, Dame, Sigel, Amil, That shit is crazy af.
Ah well…. DMX x Meek Mill over a Lex Luger track would be ill.
X is too real to be with ross, x should get signed by another mc like 50
im saying he doesnt need to join ross..he needs to stay true to his street NY music style and just keep doing what he was doing when he first came out! get the ruff ryders back together if anything..if not at least hook up wit them for a few tracks but DO NOT join ross not worth it!..if anything G-unit is where its at they seem to be doing pretty good right now i mean they all from NY so why not join them..unless Ruff Ryders do come back which i doubt
http://www.youtube.com/user/305ilovemia#p/u/0/9vi4NFbxXSg
ENTER MY LATIN QUARTERS GET YOUR HEAD BLOWN OFF
GET LACED
As if DMX has a bunch of OTHER offers on the table…
DMX is a differant breed of rapper real dude he wont sign and work under a former prison guard it just wouldnt sit right with him only a few real mc’s left in this game with the dogg like styles p beanie sigel couple others
“I’m not the average artist.†– that’s for sure!
I wouldn’t mind a heap D signing with these guys, but I wouldn’t like him to work with their producers. Everything sounds the same, and it wouldn’t suit him.
It’s not like he has any other shit poppin off. Maybe X can finally reinvent himself a bit and get away from the pigeon hole he put himself in all those albums. That said, his in your face style doesn’t match up well with Ross.
im prayin X makes a serious come back man the game has been missin a dude like him recently… tired of these metro ass lame rappers
go for it x maybach music is getting big right now and looks like they may be the next movment pluse x and pill on a track would go hard but i would have to say wale is my fav on the label he is a problem
I fuck wit X, fav rapper by far. n i fuck wit Ross music. But das not a gud look at all. Das not even close 2 X style. X aint rly a punchline rapper and damn sure not a bullshyt rapper. But i honestly think X shuld jus go out as a Legend and stop tryna make dez comebacks. Da man has said everything he needed to say. Had 6 number 1 albums n one number 2. hes accomplished more dan most rappers ever will and is jus a all around real ass nigga. I say jus become a KRS-1 and weigh in on how u feel bout da game. dont get involved wit alota dis bullshyt bein made.
X should sign with DuckDown. That would be ill.
With pharaohe monch and dmx on one label that would some insane shit
I second this notion!!!
i dont want him to get signed in a label like this and i definetely dont want him to work with this clown. and even if he gets signed he will understand quickly that he doesnt fit there. x is a real artist im afraid that this label might change him and make him a sellout just like everybody in this label.x wants to help people through his songs but everyobody in this label only talk about cars, money, bitches exactly the kind of artists that x has been dissin in his latest live performances and also in his songs. its a big chance but i think that x should just keep it real and look forward to get signed in another label.
480- 528- 8687…. talk shit to this guy………. this guy beats women up…. spread the number

Nuff said..
STRANGE MUSIC IS THE MOVE TO GO I’M TELLING YALl STRANGE MUSIC GONE FUCK A ROUND AND PUT THE MAJORS OUT OF BUSINESS IF THEY KEEP DOING WHAT THEY DOING TECH 9 is todays Prototype of what a record label/MC is supposed to be real talk
I actually think that X could quite fit in MMG in a strange way. Because DMX is so different with his grimy style. I could imagine X being the highlight on a MMG posse cut because he really stands out and he could actually create a buzz with MMG being where they are right now.
Strange Music needs to sign DMX and Bone Thugs n Harmony… I’m sure thy’d be able to revive these guys’ careers like they did Kutt Kalhoun and Brotha Lynch Hung… Sign them Travis, Sign them Tech…
