    I'm seeing a lot of people not liking bath salts after all this hype I wonder how swizz would feel seeing that

    I know swizz said the album was done but none of these tracks seemed finished aside from money money money walking in the rain bath salts and take control. Everything else feels like swizz hooks or guest appearances were added on after his death also notice how a lot of these X verses seem to just stop dead in their tracks after only going for like 40 seconds. Definitely doesn't have a finished before his passing vibe that or it was and swizz didn't feel like it was good.

    As a DMX album it fails almost entirely imo, but it has some good individual songs.

    I'm sure we'll get another album this year or next year, more solo songs and more complete ones

    I know what you mean but we've also got to remember that this was really the first body of work he'd worked on in about a decade after battling some of the biggest demons he's ever battled. And subsequently lost that battle as we know. I don't doubt that this is the best he could do. I'll take it for what it is, a good attempt from a once-upon-a-time icon that succumbed to the world of drugs. I'm happy to have it, that's for sure.

    Ya not feeling the beat. Jay verse is ok i guess. But yeah .
    X solid here. My fear is Swizz held back on releasing all the new x here material he could so he could stagger it out for future projects. This is nice for what it is but concerned about the manipulation

    What I find funny is how much swizz hyped the f--- out of bath salts and it's one of my least favorite tracks on the album lol

    I know i said this already but they literally chose the worst song on the album for the single.

    If the single was Take Control with Snoop the song would have taken off. Especially since they did Verzus recently.

    Or it could have been Walking in The Rain, Hold Me Down or Skyscrapers. Bath Salts. Any other song could have garnered more attention.

    This got to be the worst marketing team.

    Listened to it once in the morning, just ended my first session, I wish there were more DMX verses, but this album wasn't as bad as some people say. I need to spin it a few more times and I'll give my review. Coming tomorrow.

    But f--- that last song hit hard.

    Tbh I was never expecting a classic DMX in the 20s but all artists deserve their final musical send-off and I’m especially glad it’s something that he crafted 99%.

    I'm going to sleep earlier so I can wake up at 6am, that's when albums are released in my time zone (I guess), so we can blast this together!
