Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Biggie is back again--freestyling like only a dead man can on the intro to this second volume culled from the archives of NYC's Lyricist Lounge. You have to wonder why hip-hop can't let the man rest in peace. Must be something to do with the papers. Same could be said of this record's transparent attempt to keep a franchise alive and help push Rawkus further into mainstream consciousness. Aside from the aforementioned intro and Q-Tip's "live" outro, there is precious little evidence that the Lyricist Lounge is, in actuality, a freestyle forum with a monthly live event in New York City. The pairings of established and lesser MCs are suitably uninspired: Big Noyd and Prodigy's "The Grimy Way" and Royce Da 5'9's "Let's Grow" even sound as if they are retreading 1980s retro-synth soundtracks. And, predictably, Mos Def (Rawkus's would-be prophet and biggest seller) is all over the record. He pairs up first with Ghostface Killah (on the previously released "Ms Fat Booty" remix), then with Pharoah Monch and Nate Dogg (on "Oh No"), and cameos on the Gang Starr remix of Macy Gray's "I've Committed Murder"). It seems that the only people that really get it are Last Emperor and RZA, whose resurrected creature feature "He Lives" performs radical psychic surgery on this comp's rotting corpse. --Chris Campion

3.0 out of 5 stars
Hip hops finest put out something average,
By A Customer
This review is from: Lyricist Lounge Vol.2 (Audio CD)
dont get me wrong, this is a good album, and im sure most hip hop fans will like it, but for me I was chasing after the dirty raw sound that the first album provided. This album sounds a lot cleaner and more produced. A couple of really good tracks on here, but mostly I was left largely uninspired by it on the whole.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Pure Lyrics!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Lyricist Lounge Vol.2 (Audio CD)
This CD, consisting of possibly the best rap/hip-hop artists, is one of the most pure albums I have heard (apart from Restless by xzbit). All the songs are amazing except for track 17 by Macy Gray. Although it contains the skills and sounds of Gang Starr and the DJing skills of DJ Quik, I have never liked her music and Iam not planning on starting because she has Gang Starr company. Apart form this misfortune the rest of the CD is pure quality. Check it out!

This is an album with phat beats and a few dope lyrics even though the intro is a bit weak it soon picks up with artists such as mos def, dilated peoples and talib kweli, my favourite tunes include: 2, 15 and 17, Check it out!!!
