The Great Depression 2001 Album

DMX

Another #1 album for DMX and again an album slightly inconsistent but still featuring some great tunes. As usual the album begins with some good hardcore hip hop, and these are probably stronger than his previous openers with the Grammy nominated 'Who We Be' being a particular favourite, with 'Trina Moe' and 'We Right Here' being dope also. If you've heard his previous albums you should definitely feel a different vibe to the beats which is a welcome change. The second half of the album falls slightly in quality with a more R&B/Pop feel to the middle of the album particularly, but it's all still solid. 'You Could Be Blind' is probably the one really skippable thing here. Best Tracks: Who We Be, Trina Moe, We Right Here, Shorty Was da Bomb, Damien III, A Minute for Your Son.
