DMX, drama. Drama, DMX.
The rapper threw a fit at Hot 97's "Back to School Jam" at Nassau Coliseum late Saturday night. Someone in his entourage threw a metal chair into the audience, which hit a 29-year-old woman in the head and sent her to Nassau University Medical Center.
Now DMX may have had every reason to be upset. J. Edward Keyes says that the sound went out and there was a 90-minute delay between Yung Joc's set and Lloyd Banks taking the stage with 50 Cent and G-Unit, which, in turn, delayed DMX. Then, the sound went out during his set.
Unfortunately, delays and bad sound happen at a lot of hip-hop shows, especially the ones with long slates of performers. The problem at this show was that DMX then began fighting with the sound man, police told Newsday's Jennifer Smith. Altercations broke out after that and then police had to end the show and clear the venue. It's not clear whether Foxy Brown and Jim Jones, who were scheduled to perform, were supposed to have gone on after DMX or not.
