Here are some excerpts from a DMX interview with XXL Magazine. Not new, but awesome:
Okay, you’re on MySpace now?
I been there.
…
What were you doing in between—from the last album to this one, that whole time? What have you been up to?
Life. I been up to that. It’s been crazy. F—-n’ police keep on f—-in’ raiding my house and shit for nothing. They took all my f—-n’ guns. All they did is take is take my guns. All they f—-n’ do is f—- my house up and take my guns. That’s all they did. Straight robbed me—that’s what they did.

Are you following the presidential race?
Not at all.
You’re not? You know there’s a Black guy running, Barack Obama and then there’s Hillary Clinton.
His name is Barack?!
Barack Obama, yeah.
Barack?!

What the f—- is a Barack?! Barack Obama. Where he from, Africa?
Yeah, his dad is from Kenya.
Barack Obama?
Yeah.
What the f—-?! That ain’t no f—-n’ name, yo. That ain’t that nigga’s name. You can’t be serious. Barack Obama. Get the f—- outta here.
You’re telling me you haven’t heard about him before.
I ain’t really paying much attention.
I mean, it’s pretty big if a Black…
Wow, Barack! The nigga’s name is Barack. Barack? Nigga named Barack Obama. What the f—-, man?! Is he serious? That ain’t his f—-n’ name. I’ma tell this nigga when I see him, “Stop that bullshit. Stop that bullshit” [laughs] “That ain’t your f—-n’ name.” Your momma ain’t name you no damn Barack.

The president is a puppet anyway. The president don’t make no damn decisions.
The president…they don’t have that much authority basically?
Nah, never.
But Bush pretty much…
You think Bush is making f—-n’ decisions?

He act like he making decisions. He could barely speak! He could barely f—-n’ speak!
Can’t be serious. He ain’t making no damn decisions.
…
Are you happy right now?
I don’t wanna be happy.
Why not?
’Cause when you happy you get locked in sleep. You get sleepy happy. I always wanna be on point. I always wanna be aware.
Right, ’cause when you’re happy you think you’re safe and you don’t…
Yeah, you get sleepy happy.
…
I think there’s five words that could seriously turn things around for DMX: Cradle 2 The Grave 2. I’m pretty sure Tom Arnold is available. Then, DMX can keep his mind on getting pussy and crime, just like old times.
