nah. few songs okay but it sounds mostly cut in paste. lotta off beat stuff. swizz production gets stale fast and the other records are blatant attempts at a big pop chart toppin hit. dmx just doesnt sound the same.

:ahh:
I was worried but I think this is a good album all the features did their thing and DMX was not at his prime when recording but it sure keeps the essence of X thru the whole album. Mixing seems off on some songs tho

Walking in the rain, letter to my son and skyscrapers are the shyt. The mixing is mediocre, I blame swizz. Don't let him near nas please. DMX voice ain't what it use to be but its alright.

Nas murdered his two verses mentioning akademiks by name lol

Vlad is punching the air right now

If they make a video for Hood Blues it gotta have a old school gangster theme feel.

Not really. He was saying that rappers/celebrities whore themselves out for promo like Akademicks posting about them or mentioning them.
I peeped that when I listened to it a few more times.

This album is really dope to me, and I like the production a lot. My only complaint would be too many features, and the mixing on some of these songs are awful. But X did good considering his condition, salute to Nas for two amazing verses. The Lox and Snoop did their thing. Bono bodied his feature. Usher did his thing. The other ones I could’ve done without honestly but they didn’t have bad performances. Currently, after 3 listens, it's sitting at his 4th best album.

But I want to cop the physical cop if there’s a way to. Long live DMX the Great!
