Story about this misheard lyric by: Naughty Autie This illustrates exactly why subtitles (closed captions) are needed all the time on all channels. I'm autistic, and as a result, genuinely thought DMX was saying something about Greta Garbo in an advert for McDonald's until a friend showed me the lyrics on her smartphone. |

Crime Records:
"Animal Cruelty, Drug Possession, and Fraud"
As punishment for his crimes, the volatile and controversial "Party Up" poet must wear pink t-shrts, underwear and socks, as do other inmates at the Arizona jail he is serving time for. Sheriff Joe Arpaio though of the idea after DMX and the other inmates stole his underwear and dyed them pink. The rapper called the punishment ridiculous and disrespectful.
