With all the pandemonium surrounding R. Kelly's alleged abuse still making headlines day after day, older footage has resurfaced that shows people within the industry might have witnessed Kelly's criminal behavior first hand.

Included in that footage is a throwback interview with DMX and DJ Whoo Kid, that finds the always animated emcee going off on R. Kelly for what he perceived was disrespect during a studio session.

During the segment, the Yonkers legend explains that he was supposed to do a song with R. Kelly, however, when DMX arrived at the studio Kelly remained in a separate room. "This n**** is in a room downstairs," X said emphatically, "he didn't have enough respect to come in the same room I'm in."

All the same, DMX said he laid his vocals down only for Kelly to be displeased with the verse, apparently because X didn't name drop Kelly in the record.

From there, DMX illustrated the scene of having to talk to Kelly through a closed door, saying "he didn't have enough respect to talk to a n**** face to face, he had to talk through a crack in the door, because he's in there with a minor!"

At that point, he went off on a profanity-laced rant directed at the singer, saying "you f****** bitch, whenever I see you I'm going to spit in your face you f****** f*****, before reiterating that "you can't talk to me face to face and I'm here because of you? F*** you!"
