Lil Kim Lets The Dog Out, Shocks Fans With Surprise DMX Performance [Video]

New York rapper Lil Kim shocked fans over the weekend by bringing out recently released rapper DMX during an Arizona concert.

While on-stage, X and Kim performed their 1998 hit, "Money, Power & Respect."

Lil' Kim added some bark to her sting when she brought out surprise guest DMX during her show in Scottsdale, Arizona, over the weekend. X, who was released from jail earlier this month after violating his probation, performed The LOX's "Money, Power, & Respect" with the Queen Bee. "New York is in the motherf#&$ing building!" shouted the Yonkers rapper.

Footage of X recording new music was released online earlier this month.

Here's the first footage of DMX since being released from prison this past Wednesday. X recently served 4 months of a 6 month sentence for probation violation. Let's just hope he can stay sober and get back to the music."

The rapper was freed from behind bars after serving three quarters of a six-month sentence.

DMX is finally out of the dog house. XXLMag.com has learned that the troubled rapper, born Earl Simmons, was freed from an Arizona jail today (July 6). X's criminal defense attorney, Glenn Allen, confirmed with XXL that the Yonkers-bred MC was released after serving four months of a six-month sentence. As previously reported, the Yonkers MC was locked up on March 9 for for five counts of violating his probation, all of which were related to cocaine abuse. The Ruff Ryder was on probation for throwing a food tray at an officer while locked up on drug, theft and animal abuse charges last year.

X was sentenced to six months behind bars after violating the terms of his probation in March.

DMX was just sentenced to six months in jail for violating his probation -- but rehab could save him from doing hard time. DMX admitted to five separate probation violations -- the result of using illegal drugs. During the hearing, a rep from the Pasadena Recovery Center gave the judge a letter from Dr. Drew Pinsky, asking permission to treat X at his facility ... in lieu of jail. The judge seemed open to sending X to the PRC.

Lil Kim Issues A Warning, "When You Bust Shots At Me, I'ma Bite You!" [Video]

New York rapper Lil Kim has sent out a warning shot to her rap competition by promising to return fire to anyone who disses her.

Although she did not reference any artist in particular, Kim hinted at artists swagger jacking her style.

"Y'all know who started this right," Kim asked a Detroit crowd as she put on a short-cut wig. "Y'all know where this came from though. Let me explain something though. I love when people copy me, that's a complement. But when you bust shots at me and throw pebbles at me, as if I don't even exist and you don't see me standing here, I'ma bite you! [laughs]"

Recently, Kim accused rapper Nicki Minaj of subliminally dissing her on tracks.

"For the last year, she's been subliminally taking shots at me, subliminally taking shots at the other girls in the industry and I mean come on, we read that interview where she said 'Oh, being that the other rap chicks in the game ain't got sh*t to do right now, when I'm by the pool, they can feed me grapes,' I remember that sh*t," Kim said in an interview. "I keep my ears to the street at all times. Just because I do my Hollywood thing and my Malibu Barbie thing don't mean my ears ain't to the streets at all times. The last thing she did that was very subliminal, 'Oh, did I kill the Queen?' and [Diddy] is sitting right next to her vibing with that bullsh*t. Come on, we ain't stupid. Let's go all the way back, when she started doing all my songs over. There were certain interviews she was doing and my fans were getting upset, because she was busting shots at me, actually she was throwing pebbles -- it's obvious I'm who she wants to be, it's obvious that she likes me and wants to be like me but she's not paying the homage. It's obvious that she likes my music and that she's trying to mimic what I'm doing, she's subliminally busting shots."

After defending Minaj by calling out Kim at a concert earlier this month, Drake spoke on the rapper's issues with his labelmate.

"Yeah I think the main thing for me was - and the reason I lashed out in that situation - was, because it wasn't about me. And there are a lot of stupid things that other of rappers are going to try and rope me into. But at the end of the day, unfortunately, that's not what pushes my buttons. You can say anything to me and I will not react to it. And even in that specific situation [with Lil Kim] when things start getting said about me, it lost its thrill. You know what I mean? My biggest thing was I don't like when you talk about people I love. People that I know for a fact are working very hard and are very respectful people. I don't like that. That pushes my buttons more than anything you can say about me. It was wrong for ever saying anything in regards to that situation and, as you can see, I left it alone. Its over at this point. You know, I'm not going to give somebody a "look" off that. The fact is, I see Nicki pay a lot of respect to a lot of emcees in the game and she's just working hard, doing her thing. Other individuals who aren't relevant get jealous."

At last night's BET Awards, Minaj discussed positivity among all female rappers.

Minaj wrapped up her speech by shouting out BET Awards host Queen Latifah and thanking her for all the "positive energy" the Hollywood Jill-of-all-trades gave her before the show. Then, in what could be interpreted as a subtle nod to all of the drama between Minaj and fellow Best Female Hip-Hop Artist nominee Lil' Kim, Minaj called for more love among the ladies. "I think it's so important right now for positive energy among women," she said. "I'm fighting for women." And just so there's no ambiguity in the future, she closed her speech by paying tribute to her female predecessors in hip-hop: "Thank you to all the female rappers that paved the way for me."

Queen B Irrelevant? Nicki Minaj Says Lil Kim & Her Haters Don't Even Matter!

Drake Reveals His Top 5 Rap Idols Of All-Time + Defends Standing By Nicki Minaj, "Sometimes I Get A Little Impulsive" [Audio]

Young Money's Drake has revealed his top five favorite rappers of all-time in the upcoming issue of PEOPLE Magazine.

Based on a leaked excerpt, the Canadian-based emcee speaks on his musical heroes.

Lil Wayne: It's hard as a rapper not to become repetitive, and he always has a new way to make it fun. Andre 3000: If I wasn't myself, I would want to be that guy! Kanye West: I've never been so moved by a person's entire career. He's the guy I'll tell my kids about. Nas: He influenced this album a lot. I had to break down how he raps. Jay-Z: You look at [other] rappers from his era, and they couldn't transcend generations. But he's still completely relevant.

Earlier this year, Drake credited Nas and Andre 3000 for inspiring his debut album, Thank Me Later.

"It's gonna be bigger, it's gonna sound happier," Drake said comparing his debut album to So Far Gone. "Yeah, it's gonna sound bigger, it's gonna sound victorious because that's where I am in my life -- I really studied Nas to be honest, Nas was like somebody that I used to listen to his raps and not really understand 'how' he did it, I always wanted to understand how he painted those pictures and his bar structure and all of that. I went back and really studied Nas, studied Andre 3000 [for this album] and I hope you like it."

Last summer, Drake spoke on fearing Lil Wayne's creativity.

"Someone would really have to come to the studio to see me and Wayne together and how we work," Drake said in an interview. "It's the same sort of thing. I fear Wayne's creativity. It's endless. It's a scary beast. He never takes one day off. When we get into the studio it is very competitive, but in a good way. You can't just use a line you wrote Tuesday. Every line has to be thought out."

Recently, the rapper gave props to Kanye West and called his upcoming Kiss My A** album a classic.

The Canadian rapper-singer revealed to GQ magazine that he has been in Hawaii laying down tracks for both his and Mr. West's albums. When asked how they divide time between the two projects, Drake joked, "More like we work on his album until he gets tired." Little is known about West's fifth studio effort, but the Young Money star offered his inside take. "His album is going to be one of the best hip-hop albums in the last 10 years," he declared.

The new PEOPLE Magazine is set to drop June 28th.
