True dat gangsta rapper DMX is headed to the pokey, once again. But not so fast - the bad boy won't go without leaving his fans a lil' sumthin,' sumthin' by way of a videotaped farewell.



The 39-year-old, whose real name is Earl Simmons, turned himself in on Monday to a Los Angeles court for a reckless driving conviction that occurred back in 2002. He is scheduled to serve a 90-day jail term.

The video is 45-seconds long and the hip-hop celeb speaks at a rapid-fire pace of about 892 minutes per minute. He talks about how it was his decision to surrender himself and that the move is "one of the first steps toward regaining everything I've lost." In the background of the video, you can hear DMX's unreleased song "Time to Get Paid." (Pats-on-the-back to his PR team)

DMX also discusses how his relationship with God has managed to keep him here. He also admits that he has never listened to God before but now he is all ears. "My relationship with God has always been a good thing. He has always had his hand on me. He has always guided me, and now that I am actually listening and being obedient, life is so much better."
