Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Despite his membership among today's corporate rap elite, as DMX's The Great Depression proves, the overwrought production and excessive use of trite catch phrases that typify their breed can't mask the Dark Man's innate raw power. While 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 favourable comparisons to Tupac Shakur that he had received earlier in his career. --Rebecca Levine


CD Description

Fourth album by the Yonkers, NY hip-hop superstar. This record is more personal and introspective than ever before and sees him moving into new musical territory, including a disco track. Features the single 'Who We Be'.

5.0 out of 5 stars superb, another album worthy of a classic, DMX does it again, 21 Oct 2001
By A Customer
What have we have come to expect from DMX? After his last few albums, nothing less than music where the lyrics paint you a bright and wonderful tapestry of the subject he raps about. This album is great, not only because it contains DMX's trademark lyrics, but also the contrast between the different songs. In my opinion (well since i'm writing it, it will be) all the songs are great, but "we right here" is probably the best song any artist has made this year. For all you people out there that think his music is just a hotbed of swearing and violence inducing lyrics, you couldn't be more wrong. I'm not saying that the album contains no swearing, of course not, but the lyrics contrast from being deep and poetic, to aggressive and energetic, and this improves the album. A good example would be "bloodline anthem", a great powerful and aggressive song, and "i miss you" a deep song about the loss of his late grandmother RIP, which ventures into his emotions. To conclude this album is definately worth buying, and will make a worthy addition to your collection, definately one for all you hip-hop heads out there.

4.0 out of 5 stars Darker Than Before, 19 Feb 2006
By T. Gregersen (Denmark) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I didn't buy this cd because of any singles. I had all the previously released DMX cds and thought, why not?
The cd is really good. Like the Title says, it's depressing and dark, like always but I kinda think this is deeper. Like he's opening and letting people get a piece of his mind. There are several good tracks on here. "Who We Be", "Trina Moe", "We Right Here", "Shorty Was Da Bomb", "I Miss You" & "A Minute for your son" are all really good. But the attempt to create another banging street anthem like ruff ryders anthem realy failed with Bloodline anthem. Could Have been done better..
Good Album if you're into DMX but for newcomers I would Recomend "It's dark and Hell is Hot" or "Blood of my blood, flesh of my flesh" they are better..

3.0 out of 5 stars X is back, 1 Nov 2001
By A Customer
DMX is back and takin it straight to your face as usual. Standout tracks include the anthem " We Right Here" the heartfelt" I Miss you", the in your grill tracks " Ima Bang" and "School St" and of course the dark " Damien 3" But thats not to say the album does'nt have its bad points. I feel the hooks on some of the tracks are off point featuring female vocalists such as "When Im Nothing", " You could be Blind" and "Bloodline Anthem" I feel X should do the choruses himself with his barks and growls. X still brings it hard like no one else and is still the best rapper out there at the moment by far, but I would'nt be a true fan if I fronted and said that this album is totally off the hook.
Bottom Line is that you definatley need to buy this album cause it's still gonna make your head nod, but don't expect it to be as grimy as " Its Dark and Hell is hot"
