DMX pleads not guilty, raps

DMX rapped for reporters outside a Phoenix courtroom after pleading not guilty to felony charges of theft and identity theft. Then he plugged his new album.

Authorities allege the 37-year-old rapper gave the name “Troy Jones” and an incorrect Social Security number to a Scottsdale hospital in April to avoid paying $7,500 in medical expenses.

After a hearing on Thursday, DMX, whose real name is Earl Simmons, rapped: “If you ever fall down, get back up.”
