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.

They associated two musicians battling with two breeds associated with dog fighting...

Nothing wrong with the music but the artwork seems like poor taste.
