What is it with Ruff Riders and DMX?

I have seen them in a lot of his videos. They are doing really neat tricks with motor bikes and BMX bycels. Anyway why are they so-much-seen in his video? Is he(or was he?) one of them?

Marketing Xen, pure commerce: they get paid a lot to show in the videos because when they are in the videos, many people will want to watch the videos, so TV-channels will pay big bucks to be allowed to show the videos and therefore the TV-channels get high viewing ratings, so companies pay them big money to show their commercials next to the videos and the people then buy the companies' products with money they made, among others, creating videos which show bikers.

Note: this is a rather simplified circle of commerce, the bigger one expands over three volumes of huge studybooks and goes into greater detail.

DMX is a member of the Ruff riders.

Hence the fact he included the Ruff rders anthem as his opening tack in his first album, "Its dark and hell is hot."
