<p>Hours before the ceremony, the Ruff Ryders were in full effect as X&#8217;s casket was taken to the Barclay&#8217;s Center in a monster truck which read, &#8220;Long Live DMX&#8221; on the side.

One Twitter user said that over 2000 bikes were riding through Trinity Bridge for X. A birds-eye view of the scene corroborates this claim.</p>
