The "dog eat dog" meme implied here is not exactly what the world needs right now, is it? Just sayin'. That's what popped in my head, when I first saw the graphic.
You are probably 1 of 1 persons who drew that conclusion from the photo.

As someone who grew up with DMX as his favorite rapper, agree wholeheartedly. Darkman all day.

That aside, I was just talking to my wife this morning about how old I felt (at 33) because of how much garbage rap there is today compared to the heyday of Swizz and Timbaland. What they have going is good for the soul.
