Amazon.co.uk Review
Despite his membership among today's corporate rap elite, as DMX's IThe Great Depression/I proves, the overwrought production and excessive use of trite catch phrases that typify their breed can't mask the Dark Man's innate raw power. While X's reputation is intact and it's hip-hop as a genre that's floundering, the album serves as an antidote to the flood of insipid hip-hop/RB combinations and "Oochie Wally"-isms that clog the airwaves. Standout tracks include the riot-inducing "Who We Be" and the dead-on "Shorty Was Da Bomb". Even the lesser tunes are dope. On first listen, IDepression/I's most accessible song, "We Right Here", comes off as mindless radio fodder, but its blunt chorus quickly grows on you. The album's centerpiece, "I Miss You", is a genuinely personal composition built around a universal theme. Here, DMX's lyrics and delivery invite the same favourable comparisons to Tupac Shakur that he had received earlier in his career. --IRebecca Levine/I

 superb, another album worthy of a classic, DMX does it again October 21, 2001
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
What have we have come to expect from DMX? After his last few albums, nothing less than music where the lyrics paint you a bright and wonderful tapestry of the subject he raps about. This album is great, not only because it contains DMX's trademark lyrics, but also the contrast between the different songs. In my opinion (well since i'm writing it, it will be) all the songs are great, but we right here is probably the best song any artist has made this year. For all you people out there that think his music is just a hotbed of swearing and violence inducing lyrics, you couldn't be more wrong. I'm not saying that the album contains no swearing, of course not, but the lyrics contrast from being deep and poetic, to aggressive and energetic, and this improves the album. A good example would be bloodline anthem, a great powerful and aggressive song, and i miss you a deep song about the loss of his late grandmother RIP, which ventures into his emotions. To conclude this album is definately worth buying, and will make a worthy addition to your collection, definately one for all you hip-hop heads out there.
DMX is back for the 4th and the best time yet! October 23, 2001

DMX, Dark Man X. Think about it. Who else could stand and deliver 4 consecutive off the hook albums? DMX! The Great Depression features some great upbeat tracks suchas : School Street, I'ma Bang and Bloodline Anthem. It also features the return of Damien in the devilishly good 'Damien III' The whole album is filled with the top class, high intensity lyrics we expect from DMX. This is an absolutely great album, and in my opinion, the best so far from DMX. Dont let the title fool you, it isn't a depressing album at all. Oh, and if you wonder why 'A Minute For Your Son' is 16 minutes long, hang on at the end and you'll see right around 4:20 on your time counter. Buy this album immediately and i promise, you won't regret it!
X is one step above his rivals on this, his fourth album November 11, 2001

When Sometimes the new prayer intro kicks in, you know that Dark Man X is back to take back his place as the top dog in hip-hop. On this, his fourth album, X bypasses once again the money and fast cars lifestyle for something much more spiritual. On the track who we be X spits rhymes addressing his life and how he lives it over guitar licks. This sets the mood for the whole album which has a much more rockier feel to X's previous rap-reggae style albums. Highlights are Damien III on which the devil comes back for another shot at X but D ain't given up his soul just yet. Another classic is A Minite for you're Son which sees DMX doing what he does best, praising the lord. This album is full of great tracks and is a given for any X fan. Newcomers to D should by this for a taste of real, spiritual hip-hop that towers above all these player wannabes making records right now. All in all this is an essential buy but anyone looking to buy true classic DMX should also take a look at Flesh is my Flesh which in my opinion is his best work. Five out of Five
X at his best March 30, 2002
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
DMX has done it again. His 4th album and possibly his best, if not his best it is certainly his most versatile set yet. Tracks like 'Bloodline Anthem' and 'You Could Be Blind' are a new and fresh approach by X, and he pulls it off in style. His usual gruff choruses are present in 'School Street' and 'We Right Here' showing he hasn't left his classic style behind. 1st class, a must.
one of the best talents in rap December 2, 2001

The album was totally kicking, some albums you buy you find you only like a handful of songs, best by far was Who we be, thought provoking lyrics throughout with great bass and beat. Plenty to appreciate.
