(Rating: 8 out of 10): DMX...Showed That He Has Some Strength Left Back In '01 Sep 13, 2006
2001 DMX has been deep in the rap game. His fourth album "The Great Depression" proves why he was revelent back in that time. When I heard "Who We Be", I had to snatch this one up in a heart beat. Along with "Who We Be", the other lead single was "We Right Here", which was pretty decent sounding to some people.
What would really get my attention throughout this album was the energetic the songs would sound. That shouldn't be a suprise because that's X speciality when rhyming. "Bloodline Anthem" was a one of those songs with an energetic sound to it. "When I'm Nothing" would be another as X rhymes over an old school R&B beat. I'm feeling the beat to the song "I'ma Bang", which is another dope song. There are a few soft sounding songs on here also. Two notable ones were the grandma dedication "I Miss You" and the song "You Could Be Blind".
There are a few bonus songs here that appear after "A Minute For Your Son". The first would be "Next Out The Kennel" featuring the new group Bloodline freestyling over old DMX songs while DJ Kay Slay hosts the song. The next song "Problem Child" would feature Drag-On and Mysonne, a decent sounding song to me. The last song "The Usual Suspects II" featuring Mic Gerinmo and Big Stan a dope song that I'm feelng real well.
Only few problems I have with the song is the song "Number 11" that really goes no where. Also a loaded number of bonus songs at the end of the CD should be placed throughout the CD would have been nice also. Other than that, great DMX album. I recommend this to people who are fans of DMX, as this proves one of his better albums.

DMX--best rapper of all time! Jul 11, 2006
I challenge anyone to put up any other Hip Hop legend's first four CDs next to DMX's and they will lose. The Great Depression was X's fourth classic CD proving that he's the best hip hop artist of all time and the true voice of the streets. His gritty message, slick revenge narratives, honest spirituality, unrelenting fascination with street ingenuity, all come out on the Great Depression. His piece about his grandmother was touching. Everyone knows that Who WE Be is the greatest Thug narrative ever written. DMX is the best Hip Hop artist of all time and I challenge anyone to show me four CDs that can compare to his first 4. This is not to say that I didn't like his 5th effort but he was a victim of his own success and so Grand Champion wasn't a classic like the first four so everyone was hating on him. But still it was tight. The Great Depression was his last classic CD. Grand Champ had a lot of anger and frustration but this time without the ingenuity and creativity you saw on the first 4.

DMX - The Great Depression Apr 20, 2006
This album is all about X going through the tough times in his life. The making of this album followed his grandmother's death amongst other problems he was facing. There are more slow songs than we are used to seeing from X, yet as always all of his emotions are shown in his songs with his voice. This is not some of X's best work, however it is still better than most other mc's have to offer.

impressed by dmx's ability to make yet another great album. best track is 'one minute for your son' where he talks about his relationship with god. truly one of the stand out tracks in his rapping career. he keeps it real on this album for sure.
