People of the Year — 23. DMX

The rapper’s 2006 album, Year of the Dog … Again, may go down as one of the most prescient titles in music history. After a rough ride last year (in which he spent a night in the White Plains slammer), 2007 was worseâ€â€a nonstop string of dog days. It began on February 2, when DMX (who owns a home on the Mount Kisco/Bedford line) was arrested for blowing a red light in Yonkers. Then, in March and April, he missed court date after court dateâ€â€for traffic violations in Yonkers and White Plainsâ€â€and was rewarded with a pair of matching arrest warrants. Later this summer, his concert series fell apart, and, in civil court, a judge ordered him to pay $242,000 for a business deal gone bad. Finally, in August, another bombshell: Police raided DMX’s Arizona home and found a stash of weapons, cocaine, and abused pit bullsâ€â€including three dead ones buried in the back yard.
Prediction for 2008: He’s still on the lam, but if DMX does turn himself in, we’d love to see a revival of his BET reality series, Soul of a Manâ€â€only now set in Sing Sing with co-star Michael Vick.
