They can be, but they don't have to be, aslong as their debuts & their strong at their least then it's all good.

I own all DMX albums, and yeah, I definitely gotta say his debut album was the best... some raw, hardcore shit, my favorite on there was "Stop Being Greedy", it was dope as fuck... actually I think this album is close to classic, peace

True, "It's Dark And Hell Is Hot" was released in May 1998, I think it sold around 3 million copies... "Flesh of My Flesh, Blood Of My Blood" followed 7 months later in December the same year (1998)... it didn't push as many units as his first album, but I'm sure it went platinum, peace
