If you don't know, D.M.C lost his voice in the '90s due to spasmodic dysphonia, and if you didn't know once you hit play on this, you'd be asking when is D.M.C actually going to start rapping because all of the power from his voice that he had with RUN-DMC is gone. The way he spits on the opener is quite an underwhelming way to commence the album. And his vocals on 'Just Like Me' just sound amateurish backed by Harry Chapin's 'Cat's in the Cradle' sample/lyrics. There are lots of average rap-rock songs. The highlight is 'What's Wrong' with an enjoyable sung hook, production, and feature from Outlawz member, Napoleon. The album improves towards the end where it has more of a standard hip hop sound and doesn't use so many corny samples. Beats: ★★ Rapping/Bars: ★★ Hooks: ★★★ Best Tracks: Cold, What's Wrong, Goodbye
