rapper dmx........trust me you've heard some of his music. its been used in countless movies and events.
i've never liked the guy because he's always advocated dog fights. his first video in the 90s had him with a bunch of pitbulls ready to fight. over the years he's dropped out of rap and became a joke.
recently he announced he was going to fight mma style on a card here in my state. he was going to fight a no name. well it seems he got a bit scared as the fight got near.

DMX fight update: Rapper is out because he wanted the fight fixed?
By Steve Cofield
Earl Simmons better known as "DMX" isn't such a tough guy afterall. The rapper made headlines back in September when it leaked that he'd be making his debut as an MMA fighter against someone named Eric Martinez on a Dec. 12 Alabama card.
DMX, 38, started trash talking from the get-go saying he wasn't even going to train for the fight:
"We got a phone call, you know, asking if I wanted to participate in it. Yeah, why not? I figured I could do it. I'm just going to walk in as it is... It wouldn't be fair if I trained. I can fight for real though, so it is what it is."
The fight is now off because of ridiculous language DMX and his manager wanted in the fight contract. DMX needs to talk pro wrestling promoter Vince McMahon. According to documents acquired by TMZ:
X's manager, Nakia Walker, submitted an addendum to the rapper's original contract for the fight, stipulating: "Event Promoter and Management agree that [DMX] is scheduled to win the Boxing Challenge."
Huh? That doesn't sound like a real fight.
Walker also added a line which read, "All parties agree this event has been scheduled to occur only in fun and that the artist involved is not a professional boxer."
Part of the agreement was also not to release any of the details of the pre-determined results to the public. DMX now says he wants to fight regardless but the promoters, with a sour taste in their mouths, said no dice. Thunder Promotions has inserted Coolio to fight Martinez.
DMX is fresh out jail after serving a 90 day sentence in Arizona. He was locked up on charges of animal cruelty, theft and drug possession.
