The rapper born Earl Simmons was visibly emotional as he received the judge’s order, which came after the former superstar played the courtroom his song, “Slippin’.” He told the bench, “I never went to the level of tax evasion where I’d sit down and plot…like a criminal in a comic book.” Less than one year later, DMX is returning to the streets.
