DMX may have made a bad situation worse after allegedly assaulting a police officer while behind bars, Phoenix's Fox 10 reports. The rapper was only expected to serve 90 days in jail after being convicted of drug possession, animal cruelty and theft, plus an additional 18 months of supervised probation. However, DMX may be charged with felony aggravated assault after reportedly attacking an Arizona Sheriff's detention officer while in lockdown. If charged and convicted, DMX can forget about his 90-day sentence and 18 months of supervised probation: The felony carries an eight-year sentence.

“Weird”

Hanson | 1997

Accomplished tunesmith Desmond Child co-wrote "Weird" with the three brothers that make up Hanson. Credited for dozens of cuts, including songs by Kiss, Cher, Bon Jovi and Aerosmith, Child told Rolling Stone that "Weird" holds a special place in his heart, "because it's about being different--and I grew up poor, I grew up being Latin, I grew up being gay, and now I'm fat!" The song was included on Hanson's 1997 album Middle of Nowhere, which sold more than ten million units.
