    Bath Salt is OK. Nas sounded good but Swizz Beats overhyped this s--- like no tomorrow.

    The beat is good the first time you hear it for about 20 seconds. But the horns become loud and repetitive.

    Great baseline for a beat but it needs a lot of work. I'm sure Dre could have turned it into a masterpiece.

    Rejoined live on hood blues and Xs verse voice and mixing doesn't sound as a--- as the single did so maybe they fixed it?

    Looking forward to bumping this first thing tomorrow. I won't be able to do a live session though as I'll be working 14 hours each day for the next 3 days but looking forward to talking about it after the fact!

    I just re listened to undisputed not too long ago and nothing appealed to me what so ever apart from those two songs. Everything seemed so mainstream and pop and his voice was so dull and soft compared to that vintage x voice kind of the same problem with year of the dog. The music on that was much better but his voice again wasn't the same.

    They reviewed the album already?

    If true about his voice then that's bad news..

    I feel the same about this album and about Undisputed. I'm fully expecting not to replay this album anytime soon or it being anything close to his first 6 albums. But if there are 2-3 good songs and the rest is trash I will still be happy.

    Crossing my fingers for 2 really good tracks I can still bump years from now.

    Did you like "Y'all Don't Really Know" off Undisputed? I thought it was one of the better songs along with Already and Last Hope.

    ^ If the Bono song really is this one but with DMX on it, it could actually be very good.

    This doesn't sound bad at all.

    100% facts right here I believe there is a solid chance this album won't have much or any replay value for me sadly. I'm surprised undisputed had anything worth saving at all but already and cold world are great. So at the very least hoping bath salts will be worth it I was also reading a review from the guardian and they didn't really make the album sound like it was anything special or good. Worth mentioning they kept talking about his voice being raw and desperate so I'm gonna go ahead and assume his voice on hood blues is how he'll sound on this album.

    It might be hard to accept for some but DMX has been out of his prime for a long time. It showed on Undisputed. And Undisputed was 9 years ago.

    So i'm glad Swizz again confirmed that the album was done and that he hasn't changed it because a couple people here still seem to believe that "DMX wouldn't approve of that" or that he didn't intend it to sound that way.

    As a fan, it's easier to say it's his team that ruined the song or album but it's pretty clear by now that this is the project DMX wanted us to hear, whether it's good or bad.

    Reading the article and I have no idea why people are mad about the two months thing. DMX dropped two classics in one year, six months apart—and this was pre-digital recording back when albums had long marketing/release cycles and CDs had to be actually printed months in advance.

    Two months is more than enough time to craft an album for two people who have been working together for decades. 2pac made all eyez on me in two weeks. Kanye made 808s in a week. There’s tons of examples of artists locking in for a few weeks/months and coming out with a classic.

    A lot of great albums come together during a short period of recording sessions. Plus I’m sure there’s material he’s worked on throughout the years, they prob just specifically buckled down into “album mode” for two months

    Maybe X wanted that rough raw sound on hood blues who knows? Not a smart idea though if that's the case

    Swizz hyped up the f--- out of bath salts saying that would be the main song on any album so hopefully that actually is good and at the very least if this album sucks we'll have that lmfao watch X's verse still be mixed horribly for no reason at all lol
