Free Music Notes for The Great Depression
Free Music Review: (Rating: 8 out of 10): DMX...Showed That He Has Some Strength Left Back In '01
Hit: 4 Stars
2001 DMX has been deep in the rap game. His fourth album "The Great Depression" proves why he was revelent back in that time. When I heard "Who We Be", I had to snatch this one up in a heart beat. Along with "Who We Be", the other lead single was "We Right Here", which was pretty decent sounding to some people.
What would really get my attention throughout this album was the energetic the songs would sound. That shouldn't be a suprise because that's X speciality when rhyming. "Bloodline Anthem" was a one of those songs with an energetic sound to it. "When I'm Nothing" would be another as X rhymes over an old school R&B beat. I'm feeling the beat to the song "I'ma Bang", which is another dope song. There are a few soft sounding songs on here also. Two notable ones were the grandma dedication "I Miss You" and the song "You Could Be Blind".
There are a few bonus songs here that appear after "A Minute For Your Son". The first would be "Next Out The Kennel" featuring the new group Bloodline freestyling over old DMX songs while DJ Kay Slay hosts the song. The next song "Problem Child" would feature Drag-On and Mysonne, a decent sounding song to me. The last song "The Usual Suspects II" featuring Mic Gerinmo and Big Stan a dope song that I'm feelng real well.
Only few problems I have with the song is the song "Number 11" that really goes no where. Also a loaded number of bonus songs at the end of the CD should be placed throughout the CD would have been nice also. Other than that, great DMX album. I recommend this to people who are fans of DMX, as this proves one of his better albums.

The Great Depression Poster
Despite the overwrought production and excessive use of trite catch phrases that typifies the output of today's corporate rap elite, Dark Man's innate raw power can't be masked. Had he fallen off, The Great Depression would be considered an amazing comeback, but since X's reputation is intact and it's hip-hop as a genre that's floundering, the album serves as an antidote to the flood of insipid hip-hop/R&B combinations and "Oochie Wally"-isms that clog the airwaves. Standout tracks include the riot-inducing "Who We Be" and the dead-on "Shorty Was Da Bomb." Even the lesser tunes are dope. On first listen, Depression's most accessible song, "We Right Here," comes off as mindless radio fodder, but its blunt chorus quickly grows on you. The album's centerpiece, "I Miss You," is a genuinely personal composition built around a universal theme. Here, DMX's lyrics and delivery invite the same favorable comparisons to Tupac Shakur that he received earlier in his career. --Rebecca LevineRap & Hip-Hop Music CDs
