5x Grand Champ!

(3 out of 5 stars)
"Next to Eminem, DMX is my favorite rapper/actor. I have all his cd's 'cept the first 2 and they are great. But then I heard this one. Not so good. Only about 5 to 6 tracks were worth a listen. "The Prayer" follow-up skit was great, and the "Thank-U" message to God was real good. But then u get to "Where The Hood At" and the lyrics did a 360. They changed em' so bad, even a saint would want to hear it "explicit". The word "ni***'", was edited waaay to strongly. After all, DMX is black,so he CAN say it if he wants. But the Censores think not obviously. Anyway, it is a ruined song. The whole album feels largely rushed in a bad way. I gave it three stars because there are some excellent songs, but unless u really like X', then don't waste your money. Most songs are just repeats of the same old messages. Well, anyway, it's an okay album."
