Rapper DMX raps in court after denying charges The 37-year-old, Rapper DMX, a.k.a (Earl Simmons) appeared in Maricopa County Superior Court in Phoenix yesterday and pleaded not guilty to a pair of felony theft charges. He also treated reporters to an off-the-cuff rap about bouncing back from adversity. Earl Simmons, was charged with 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.

"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. His next court date is on August 12.
