DMX Denies Charges, Shows Rap Appeal

by REIGN

FRIDAY JULY 25, 2008

DMX, real name Earl Simmons, plead not guilty yesterday to two felony counts, one count of theft and one count of taking someone else's identity. The charges stemmed from a visit Simmons made to the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Arizona, in April during which he gave his name as "Troy Jones," allegedly to avoid paying for treatment.

After denying the charges, The Darkman decided to rhyme a few things to reporters outside.

"If and when you ever fall down, get back up. Drop something, stop fretting, pick that ... back up, stand for something or fall for everything, wait for the right pitch or miss with every swing.", DMX spit. The 37-year-old rapper is next due to appear in court on August 12.

i hope he doesn't rhyme in front of a judge/jury, he needs to stay out of jail, and 37 is still young but in the hip-hop game that's like grandfather status but there are artists in their 40's still holdin shit down so age don't mean anything

LoL so you mean to tell me X just started rapping the min they asked him a question? ha ha ha, listen man I fux with X hard, but ain’t nothing gona change this dude, not even Bill Gate money will change him….it’s sad, but true. Duke will will’out till he drops.
Do you even understand his thought process? He’s facing lord knows how many years from these incidents,…so the 1st thing he does when reporters approach him is Spits some bars? No I’m sorry, or thank you to the Fans,….nah just straight spiting that real ish,…X is an animal man,..ha ha ha
