No. Great Depression is not better than Grand Champ. Grand Champ was more consistent. shyt was damn near banger after banger. Plus the worst songs on Great Depression are worse than the worst songs on Grand Champ.

Grand champ was very very dope cd and I agree way better than the Great Depression, grand champ came with that dope dvd too

DMX fell off lyrically to the point this was tough to get through. Then you add shytz Beatz to it and this was a terroble listen

The funny thing is, this wasn't true leading up to the album. He was actually getting more "wordy lyrical" on most of his songs prior to this album (His verses on Blood Red, his verse on the Still Scratching record) this album was definitely his weakest effort rhyme wise. Which I find perplexing.

X’s main issue later on was his flow. It’s like he couldn't catch the pocket like he used to. I’m still confused why that is. That’s why I love his verses on “Take Control” so much. It’s like he went back to the conversational flow he used to do rather than just all aggressive and shyt came out fire. X always been at his dopest flipping in and out of the aggressive shyt during the verse.

The good thing about social media is every random person has a voice

The bad thing about social media is every random person has a voice

N some people's daily project is attempting to start a fire on social media. N then watching the aftermath on some "I did that" shyt

for bath salts, swizz said jadakiss only had 8 bars? what gives? Jadakiss is known to spit past the bar count....it must have been some scrapped acapella that swizz had lying around. so he didn't call jada for more bars to put on that track? they had at least a month for Jada to lay a better verse before the album roll-out and they had plenty of time

for this to be originally a Life is Good Nas track talking about 'good angel/bad angel', that's extremely on-topic with what's X is about with his Damian figure and how his instincts guide him through this Kurtis Blow culture aka Hip Hop....that Nas verse, even on the original, just fell into place in terms of it being a Swizz Beatz produced track and swizz added those 2009 DMX vocals from 'spit that shyt' -- all that remixing was done originally to win a Verzuz beat battle against Just Blaze in 2018, so we have VS to thank for that remix....shyt just fell into place in terms of Swizz not putting it on his Poison album and instead put it on X's album

Lmaooooooooooo wtf fam

Anyone hating on Swizz for this project can eat a dikk too. Swizz is one of the only people on the industry who stayed in Xs corner through thick and thin. People saying “they should have got so and so for the production” well, where the fukk were all these people when X was alive? Swizz stayed reaching out to X and trying to get him in the studio and get him working. He ain’t have to do shyt. Working with X the last few years wasn’t bringing no money in. He did that shyt on the strength cause X was his homie for real.
