DMX says Jay-Z is a sucker for love

By: Yves Erwin Salomon

Rapper DMX left Def Jam Records earlier this year because he felt he would eventually bump heads with his friend Jay-Z who was named Def Jam president in late 2004. But now DMX is going a step further and agreeing with Cam'ron's criticism that Jay-Z is losing his edge because he wears flip flops.

DMX told Vibe magazine, "The flip-flops -- he's just not the same. It's Beyonce. He's a sucker for love. Thugs don't do flip flops. Yo, no matter how much vacation I'm on -- we been to St. Thomas, Bahamas, all the little islands -- I don't wear no flip-flops. I'm never that comfortable, not even in my own house."

Jay-Z plans to release his comeback set, Kingdom Come, in November.
