Beyond the music, X's sincere subject matters keep the album enticing.
-
Surely one of the rap game's most insightful voices.... The beats offer plenty of fresh surprises and the lyrics reflect DMX's increasing focus on introspection.

UncutThe music remains a potent mix of stuttering party anthems and post-Biggie street sermons. [Feb 2002, p.114]
-
Filled with the sort of aggressive, testosterone-fueled rage that has helped make DMX the Henry Rollins of hardcore hip-hop.
-
Q MagazineWith regular producer Swizz Beatz virtually absent here, this fourth album is definitely mixed. [Dec 2001, p.121]
-
DMX is stuck at the crossroads that confronts every rapper trying to keep it real when reality no longer plays like an action movie.
-
The most depressing thing about this album is that DMX's passion for rhyming seems to have been eclipsed by his success.
