Rapper DMX pleaded not guilty to a pair of felony theft charges in a Phoenix court on Thursday, and then treated reporters to an impromptu rap about bouncing back from adversity.
DMX, whose real name is Earl Simmons, was charged with one count of theft and one count of taking someone else's identity. he 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, he serenaded reporters waiting outside the Maricopa County Superior Court.
"If and when you ever fall down, get back up," Simmons began, according to a censored recording on a local radio station's Web site.
"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," Simmons sang.
