DMX Talks New Album, Clowns Barack Obama

DMX has always been a man of the streets. His words and lyrics are a reflection of his vibrant yet humble demeanor, and its safe to say that DMX will say whatever is on his mind, whether it fits the status quo or goes over peoples heads.

With that said, in a recent interview with XXLMag, DMX filled the empty lines with words on the music game, his new projects, and an exceptionally awkward stance on Barack Obama.

DMX cited the poor sales of Hip Hop and rap albums on the heads of the artists that are putting forth a bland effort. Niggas aint saying nothing. People aint saying nothing. Aint but so many peoplesome people buy records just to dance to em. Some people buy records to listen to the radio. And theres people that buy records cause they listen to every song. They not feeding the people properlyits the same ol' bullshit. Thats how it get. There has to be some fuckin substance.

In terms of his new double-disc album, DMX stated the material will be similar to his previous works. Its two different albums. Two albums, separate albums. I got a couple more tracks to do on it and thats done. Its the first time anybody did anything like thistwo separate albums on the same dayIve done gospel songs on every album. I figured Id just dedicate a whole album to it.

When the subject of Barack Obama came up, DMX gave a questionable response to the possibility of a black president. What the fuck is a Barack? Barack Obama. Where he from, Africa?... Wow, Barack! The niggas name is Barack. Barack? Nigga named Barack Obama. What the fuck, man? Is he serious? That aint his fuckin name. I'ma tell this nigga when I see him, Stop that bullshit. Stop that bullshit. [Laughs] That aint your fuckin name. Your mama aint name you no damn Barack.

Walk With Me Now and Youll Fly With Me Later is due for a late 2008 release. While the first leaked track ("Alright") is in HipHopDX's audio section [click to listen].
