DMX's output

[Rev Jones]

I always thought he made a great and then a weaker album, in that order

It's Dark and Hell is Hot : ace

Flesh of my Flesh, Blood of my Blood : dropped too soon, could have been better. good album tho

... And then there was X : ace

The Great Depression : meh, some good tracks, some mediocre material

Grand Champ : ace

Year of the Dog Again : okay but not great

I'd need to revisit the last two official albums again before passing judgment

I will say that DMX did have great SINGLES on each album and that even the albums I consider 'weaker' are solid (and miles beyond some of today's mainstream output)

agree? disagree?

Disagree. To each his own though. My fav DMX albums in order are Flesh/Blood, DarkHellHot, Great Depression

[Rev Jones]

^^Interesting to hear! Now you make me want to check out Flesh/Blood and Great Depression again.

My favorites go like this yo

Dark and hell is hot - classic status
Then there was X - very dope
Flesh of my flesh - dope
Great depression - dope very slept on
Grand champ - pretty good
Year of the dog - Barely good

[b-dolo]

For me. Then there was X gets downgraded. Only because party up, what these bitches want, and good girls/bad guys. Those tracks seem overily eager to be mainstream.

listening to The Great Depression now. Bettter than I remembered. thanks for yallz input. Enjoyed 'Damien III', 'You Could Be Blind', 'A Minute For Your Son', some of the singles too. btw I had completely forgotten about all the hidden Bloodline bonus tracks at the end of the album.

I listened to Flesh/Blood again as well but it seems I haven't changed my opinion much

might give 'Year of the Dog ... Again' a listen later today to see how it holds up. my expectations are low lol
