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 worse—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 date—for traffic violations in Yonkers and White Plains—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 bulls—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 Man—only now set in Sing Sing with co-star Michael Vick.
