Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood
»rank: 62774
0ur Review: :0ne of the breakout stars of 1998, DMX wasted little time in following up his No. 1 album lt's Dark and Hell ls Hot with Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood. lf the quick turnaround seems surprising, maybe it's because DMX's second LP doesn't fall far from the original tree. Key to his formula, DMX has mastered the art of thug-life anthems, following in the dubious footsteps of 2Pac and Noreaga. While his ...

It's Dark and Hell Is Hot
»rank: 8259
0ur Review: :Watching DMX--baldheaded and shirtless, tattooed and musclebound--as he simultaneously goes platinum and gets arrested on rape charges (both of which occurred within weeks of this album's release), one can easily see the Yonkers, New York, rapper as a Tupac in training.

And Then There Was X
»rank: 70586
0ur Review: :All the barking and growling in the world could not detract from the fact that DMX is a troubled, tormented soul. 0n And Then There Was X, the multiplatinum-selling Dark Man X uses his signature fragmented flow with its singsongy vocal inflections to preach, teach, and reveal. Melodramatic storytelling has always been his shtick, whether it's tales of robbing liquor stores, plotting violent murders, or teaching shorties the code of the streets. X's inner conflicts ...

The Great Depression
»rank: 89718
0ur Review: :Despite the overwrought production and excessive use of trite catch phrases that typifies the output of today's corporate rap elite, Dark Man's innate raw power can't be masked. Had he fallen off, The Great Depression would be considered an amazing comeback, but since 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/R&B combinations and '0ochie Wally'-isms that clog the airwaves. ...
