    I think Go To Sleep is a little too em-centric to be on the album but the other 3 would definitely raise up Grand Champ alot quality wise.

    Not everyone’s favorite DMX album. But having some songs go to the cradle 2 the grave soundtrack is what caused it not to be.

    go to sleep ft. Eminem
    X gon’ give it to ya
    Right/wrong
    First I’m gonna crowl (even though it wasn’t on the soundtrack it was in the movie)


    Where the hood at, x gon’ give it to ya, go to sleep.... ARE f---ing ANTHEMs.dogs out, get it on the floor, shot down, rob all night... this could of been one of the hardest albums ever.

    in my recent relisten it was probably the weakest of his 5-album run. Thats not to say its bad at all, its just clearly got A&R fingerprints all over it and feels bloated and all over the place. That being said Shot Down is a stone cold classic, that must be one of the coldest guest features 50 ever did.

    It's a great album but it does feel much more manufactured and xommercial than the previous 4. Not to say it's a bad album though but I get where your coming from. Hard pass on Go To Sleep on the album though.
