DMX - "The Great Depression" Turns 19

This was hot in 2001, and it came close to being what the first 3 DMX albums were, but it just didn't quite hit it. And with every subsequent release he fell further and further from that mark. This was really his last moment as a relevant artist. By the time "Get it On The Floor" came out, he was an after though.

Who We Be was probably the last time X had a hot single. I think "I Miss You" was from the 2003 album right?

I had a fight in lunch period in 6th grade that year over this album


Got in a heated argument when I told kid that Stillmatic was better...then it came to fists

Grand Champ was fire. It was actually a better album than The Great Depression. It also had “Where The Hood At?” And “Get It On The Floor” as singles. Speaking of “I Miss You” I had an Ex that looked just like Faith but thicker(t*ts and ass) around this timeframe. Lol

So did you convince him? You weren't wrong.

"I Miss You" is from The Great Depression.

Remember being a bit disappointed in this album. It just didn't hit the mark for me personally. I didn't even like Who we Be like that

Naw lol
Most of the lunch table was on his side.
Then again we were 11 year olds and X was the hottest artist at the moment

You were 11 listening to Nas. You were the weirdo. X got the singles and beats. You must've been an old soul.

Album wasn’t good but there were a couple tracks I liked

 

[OHSNAP!]

Trina Moe
A Minute For Your Son
Who We Be
You Could Be Blind
I Miss U

Those cuts were better than most songs on his 2nd and 3rd album. Underrated album

 

[god shamgod]

This album wakk , school street the only joint and that’s cuz of the beat

 

[Eastside Get The Money]

Who we be and I miss you are my two favorite X songs.

Hmmmm... in hindsight, this album was better than I remembered.

I wasn’t the biggest Nas fan till then.
A week before the album dropped, they played the Stillmatic intro on the radio and that shyt blew my mind.
I copped the album day 1 and was hooked.
