His big voice and big, good-vs-evil themes now need the gold lame beats of Grand Champ to deliver one last howling high.
-
A forceful march through familiar territory.
-
MojoAs fine as anything he's done, but overall Grand Champ makes too many R&B concessions to be a fitting epitaph to his record-breaking career. [Nov 2003, p.129]
-
Not quite the big comeback DMX needed at this point in his quietly sagging rap career, Grand Champ regardless has its share of highlights.
-
Grand Champ would make a great single. As it stands, it's about a full hour more of DMX hollering gruffly than anybody really needs.
-
Entertainment WeeklyThe X-Man's grating lyrical redundancy throughout this disc reeks of laziness, and his self-derivative hooks and beats hints at complacency and stunted growth. [3 Oct 2003, p.73]
-
It's a selfish record, a me-first record, a record that exists purely to make DMX feel like a tough guy.
