Weird album, some classic songs though. Still don't understand how he fell off that fast commercially after …And Then There Was X

This album dropped in 2001, can't believe 21 years have passed. Getting old sucks. This album got a lot of hate but I liked it.

This is a really good album that was overshadowed by 9/11 and the absolute heat that was released in late 2001.

It wasn't one of my favorites, but I loved the hell out of that "Who We Be" video. If I was watching MTV or BET when that came on, I would stop what I was doing, and watch while bobbing my head to it the entire time.
I remember being really hyped about the album and being let down. When I heard "who we be" and heard the album was called the great depression I thought its was gonna be flames. It was real average to me overall. It had some great tracks on there though. I need to revisit it in its entirety.

Excellent album. Probably the DMX album I listened the most.
Very dark album, so I understand now why it did not have good sales. It was the era of Nelly, Ja Rule, Eminem and Jay-Z. Fun, party and bullshyt Hip-Hop. X was too dark and serious.
It was also the last great DMX album. It was the end of his run. A good run.

Grand Champ was pretty large as well. I think i understand what you mean but Grand Champ
still had hit songs and he also had hit songs on Cradle 2 The Grave sdtrk and acted in the movie itself. So it say '03 was still apart of his run.

Most underrated song of X's career, the sample is beautiful af and he flexed by getting the original singer Steph Mills on it

98 to 03 is a hell of a run for such a dark grimey rapper. DMX was the last vestiges of the gutter grimey. Even 50, whose ascension was 03, his gutter harsh realities were even still, more flashy than DMX. That track with DMX/50/Styles P on Grand Champ is fire. RIP DMX
