DMX The Great Depression - Album Review
Global rating of the product: 4.5 stars
How many people in this world buy hip hop Cds? Probably millions. How many people wear urban clothes and attend to hip hop parties? Probably millions too.
How many people-besides those who can relate to the ghetto experience- are aware of troubleshooting in the hood? Very few I guess.
DMX s fourth CD draws a realistic and dark picture of his hood. Not only does the artist make the listener step into a pessimistic atmosphere, he also raises some deep philosophical questions about the meaning of life.
Sometimes introduces DMX speech. In times of desperation and helplessness, you sit alone in the dark, facing adversity while your mind is fulfilled with anxiousness. Big clouds

Sirens coming from the fed s cars, gun shots, pounding beats, electric guitar sounds, violins, DMX s gritty voice will suggest the running atmosphere of School Streets. So many kids in the hood have lost their lives. Everybody s running, trying to escape from the police.
Who We Be is a rhythmic track based on electric guitar and keyboard sounds that describes the harshness of the streets with an amazing sense of reality: the

Trina Moe is a melodic song built on harp, maracas and trumpet sounds.
It is dark and the hell is hot. The swinging track exposes the constant run and the unsafe atmosphere.

Soft guitar notes contrast with DMX raspy voice. The hammering drum beats and the monotony of the vocals will make the listener feel the every day struggle. No compromises: snakes get totally exposed in Damien III. Piano sounds at the end of the song enhance feelings of mistrust and anger.
When I m Nothing is built on soft funky instrumentals and female vocals. The song featuring Stephanie Mills is rhythmic, entertaining and very melodic. Love is in the air. Enjoy the joy and happiness all around.
I Miss You is the wonderful song

I ma Bang is built on dark bassline, dynamic electric guitar sounds and raw drum beats. DMX s determination, his struggle, his incredible dynamism come to shine to the fullest. DMX will teach you the harshness of the fight. The track is pure dynamite.
Rapid chord sounds totally match with Mashonda and DMX s voices. DMX fully masters rhythm, flow and lyrics. DMX keeps it real and fakes masks will be dropped in no time. No place for posers of any kind: right is right and wrong is wrong.

Listen to the words of the man of faith who wants to dedicate his work to God.
A Minute For Your Son is an intense praise towards God. Open your ears and let DMX words penetrate your heart. DMX is certainly a strong role model for the believers. Don t judge the man by his actions, rather look up at the way he trusts the Creator and learn from him.
DMX The Great Depression CD is a great piece of work. It offers the listeners a realistic perspective about life in the hood. It exposes the harshness, but it also shows strong signs
