Fans of rapper DMX, aka Dark Man X, lined the streets outside Brooklyn’s Barclay Center where his star-studded memorial is being held.

DMX’s casket arrived on the back of a monster truck escorted by bikers and record label executives wearing Ruff Ryders gear.

The rapper, real name Earl Simmons, died on April 9 at age 50 from a heart attack after an apparent drug overdose.
