"If my life ain’t long, I thank God with my last breath so my life ain’t wrong."
DMX could soon have a statue or a street named after him in his hometown ... but first, the city of Yonkers, NY is wel- coming the late rapper's family to hold his memorial service there, if they so choose.
A source close to X's family tells us there will be both a pri- vate and public memorial, and a meeting Monday to work to fi-

Spano says X's hometown wants to ease the burden on his family, and the door is wide open.
