A monster truck carrying the casket of rapper Earl "DMX" Simmons led a procession of hundreds of Ruff Ryders on motorbikes from his hometown of Yonkers to a memorial at Brooklyn's Barclay's Center on Saturday.
DMX, one of the most acclaimed rappers of all time, died aged 50 after a heart attack.

Around 2,000 invited guests are expected at the Celebration of Life event on Saturday and will be streamed on Youtube. It was originally due to begin at 4 p.m. ET but was delayed until 6 p.m.
On Sunday he will be farewelled in a homegoing celebration and a private funeral, which will be streamed by BET.
