man hard to say if its not classic its bordeline. But i feel that with the music that has been coming out in the last 5 years its easy to go back now and look at some of those great great records and say they were classic.

Just finished bumping this album in its entirety for the 1st time since about 2000 or 2001. Still sounds as good as it did when I first bumped it 10 years ago.  8)

voted: Classic

Best album from DMX, the storytelling and beats are classics. It's a shame what happened to DMX, the last album i really liked from him was "The Great Depression".

I personally like "Year Of The Dog..Again" and "The Great Depression" better than this album.  This albums got a few good tracks, but it sounds really dated.  The only track I was really feeling from the album was "How's It Going Down".

Its was great debut album no doubt, flow on point and Swizz at his best
but classic maybe not, like Jd got my mind right said its bordeline

Ruff Ryders Anthem was Swizz's only beat, everything else was Dame Grease. And OH YEAH this is classic
98 was a huge year for debuts from Pun,Nore,Canibus,Kurupt,Cappadonna, Blackstar...then you had Hard Knock Life, Aquemini, Full Clip... and IDAHIH was the best (lol @ the Canibus album), there hasnt been a year that good since
Man, it's really been 10 years???

I can say its definetly one of the strongest debuts and lands in top 5 of 98 along with like Moment Of Truth, Capital Punishment, 40 Dayz & 40 Nights, & Aquemini. 'Flesh Of my Flesh' was good too and it was released in the same year.

A classic? Maybe, he obviously isn't known for being a great lyricist but the beats bumped hard on some Swizz shit, and DMX rapped with so much ferocity that it didn't matter if the lyrics said anything relevant.  He definitely brought grimey into the game at the time.  Id say it is like 9.5 because of D's lyrics but thats only half a point off, damnn good album.  With that being said id give Flesh of My Flesh Blood of my Blood a 9.8 that shit is definitely my favorite D album.

close too but just misses out imo.
