DMX loves dogs, and feels a connection to them; he's certainly never made a secret of it, infusing his raps with numerous references to man's best friend. On the intro to his fifth record, GRAND CHAMP, the East Coast rapper/actor asserts his canine preference as, not surprisingly, the pit bull ("they make good companions, but even worse enemies/it's all in how you take 'em"). It's a fitting portrait of the gruffer-than-gruff-voiced, remarkably uncompromising hardcore rapper, who leaves the listener to either embrace his stark world or get the hell out.
GRAND CHAMP reveals DMX to be as fierce as ever ("only know how to be one way, that's the thug"), spewing his usual blend of unconstrained love and vitriol. He follows the intro with one of his trademarked laying-it-on-the-line rants before launching into a series of furious condemnations. Like 2Pac and Nas, DMX has learned the value of the schizophrenic combination of the inspirational and the ultra-violent; he could be his own greatest companion and his fiercest enemy. It's this quality that makes him one of the most intriguing hip-hop superstars out there, and GRAND CHAMP continues his larger-than-life legacy.
Producers include: Tuneheadz, No I.D., DJ Scratch, Joaquin "Waah" Dean, Swizz Beats.

Worth Your Money DMX's new CD is off the chain, especially the track with 50 Cent, "Shot Down" that song is bangin. Some other hot songs are F*** Y'all, and The Prayer V. Not his best cd but I would say his 2nd best. Submitted by a reviewer (Houston, Tx) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
DMX COMES BACK WITH BARK AND BITE DMX comes back again with a brand new record "THE GRAND CHAMP". This record is on fire and is way better than The Great Depression and is one of his best. This is a must for any DMX fan. It's unfortunate that this may very well be his last album. We'll miss DARK MAN X. GO OUT AND BUY THIS.
