Ruff Around The Edges: 13 Pictures Of DMX Smiling

Every time DMX pulls up to the scene, he's flaunting a mean mug like he's ready to bark on the next thing that moves. But the Mount Vernon rapper born Earl Simmons has a softer side that isn't seen on album covers like 1998's Flesh Of My Flesh, Blood Of My Blood, his live shows or even amusement park rides like that one time he rode the Sling Shot. So on Dark Man's 44th birthday, we dug around the Internet for some of the Ruff Ryder's best smiley faces. Party up!
