Review by Denis Denisenko

Album Review: Poverty Prosperity by Dime (2001) Dime’s Poverty Prosperity is one of those albums that doesn’t try to be anything it’s not. Released in 2001 under AMC American Music, this hip-hop gem wears its heart on its sleeve, blending raw lyricism with gritty production courtesy of Kenyon “KaDosha” Gilbert. It’s unapologetically real—a snapshot of early 2000s U.S. street life and the daily grind. And honestly? That’s what makes it stick. The album kicks off with “Intro,” setting the tone right away—no frills, just straight talk. But if I had to pick two tracks that left a mark, it’d be “Romeo & Juliet 2001” and “Pain.” “Romeo & Juliet 2001” flips the classic love story into something way more relatable for the streets. The beat hits hard but stays smooth, like a lowrider cruising through the block. Lyrically, Dime dives deep into loyalty and betrayal, themes anyone who’s ever been caught between friends and foes can feel. There’s no sugarcoating here; it’s messy, complicated, and painfully human. You don’t just hear the song—you live it for those three minutes. Then there’s “Pain,” which feels like therapy wrapped in bars. The track strips back the bravado often seen in hip-hop and gets brutally honest about struggle. Dime lays it all out—the losses, the doubts, the moments when giving up seems easier than pushing forward. It’s haunting yet comforting because, let’s face it, pain is universal. When he spits lines about survival and hope, you believe him. No cap. Other standout joints include “Miss Your Face,” dripping with nostalgia, and “Man Power,” which flexes confidence without being over-the-top. Tracks like “Broke” keep things grounded, while “Ass N Titties” reminds listeners not to take themselves too seriously. Yeah, the album has its ups and downs, but isn’t that life? What strikes me most about Poverty Prosperity is how timeless it feels. Sure, it came out in 2001, but the stories Dime tells still resonate today. Maybe even more so. In an era where playlists dominate and attention spans are shorter than ever, this album asks you to sit down, press play, and really listen. So yeah, props to Dime and KaDosha for crafting something authentic. If you’re into hip-hop that keeps it real without trying too hard to impress, give Poverty Prosperity a spin. Just don’t expect perfection—it’s better than that. Realness always wins. Oh, and one last thing: listening to this album might make you rethink your own hustle. Or at least wonder why we’re still talking about ballin’ versus starving two decades later. Food for thought—or maybe wings, depending on how hungry you are.
