THE GREAT DEPRESSION
DMX
(Island/Def Jam)
It's still dark and hell is still hot.
After four CDs in as many years, barking rapper DMX is starting to sound a bit like an old dog who hasn't learned any new tricks. But then, he doesn't really need to; the old ones are still holding up damn well.
The Great Depression's 19 tracks bump 'n' thump to the usual Jeep-pumping beats; the backing tracks have the usual assortment of brooding synths, old-school grooves and samples, metallic guitar licks, gunshots and sirens; and DMX once again growls, snaps and snarls his street-thug anthems like a rabid hound straining at the leash.
He may be an old dog, but he still has plenty of bite. (More on: DMX).
