5 out of 5 stars Awesome B-Sides.......2007-03-06

Some people seem to get this disc mixed up as a "Greatest Hits", but actually, it's more like a B-Side record. "Thug Love" is way out of place here; only because it's a well known, legendary track sharing space with a collection of rare material. With a handfull of unreleased songs/remixes, this is a treasure (depending on how big of a fan you are, I guess).

I'm really feelin' "C Land I.A." and "Look Into My Eyes (Atlantis Remix)" and "Weedman". These tracks alone are worth takin a gander.

If you're lookin for a Greatest Hits, then you best go get that double album (with the grey cover)! That one has all the hits you're lookin for. But in the meantime, check out these B-Sides.

5 out of 5 stars C LAND.......2005-08-24

5 out of 5 stars A GREAT COLLECTION OF BONE SONGS.......2004-11-07

This is a great collection of bone-thugs-n-harmony songs. It features songs off of "The Art Of War" & "Btnh Resurrection". It also features 2 songs off Mo Thugs album "Chapter II: Family Reunion". It has a song off of Jermaine Dupri's album "Life In 1472". It has 4 previously unreleased songs and other songs off of soundtracks. I will now rate all of the songs with 5 being the most:

1.C Land I.A - 5: A great track, previously unreleased.

2.Don't Hate On Me - 5: Great song, featuring Jermaine Dupri and Da Brat, taken from Jermaine Dupri's "Life In 1472".

3.Thug Luv - 5: One of my favourite Bone Thugs-N-Harmony songs, featuring 2Pac, taken from "The Art Of War".

4.Hook It Up - 5: Featuring Master P and Silkk The Shocker, taken from "I Got Tha Hook Up" soundtrack.

5.2 Glocks (Remix) - 5: Great song, taken from "Btnh Resurrection".

6.Look Into My Eyes (Remix) - 3.5: Average song, taken from "The Art Of War".

7.All Good - 5: Good song, only by Felecia and Krayzie Bone, taken from Mo Thugs "Chapter II: Family Reunion".

8.Weedman - 4.5: Good song, only by Bizzy Bone, previously unreleased.

9.Frontline Warrior - 4: Good song, previously unreleased.

10.Change The World (Remix) - 4.5: Good song, featuring Big B, taken from "Btnh Resurrection".

11.Can't Give It Up (Remix) - 3: Average song, taken from "Btnh Resurrection".

12.Ghetto Cowboy - 3: Average song, taken from Mo Thugs "Chapter II: Family Reunion".

13.Sleepwalkers - 5: Great song, featuring Eazy-E, previously unreleased.


Overall this album is definitely worth having, especially if you are a Bone Thugs-N-Harmony fan.

3 out of 5 stars Average Bone album.......2004-05-12

This gets 3 stars because I don't like some of the remixes and I have heard most of the songs. This would of got 2 stars if it weren't for LOOK IN TO MY EYES remix, ThugLuv(on Art of war) and unreleased old Bone track SLEEPWALKERS. They're some of Bone's best work.

I'll rate each track with 5 being the best

C LAND I.A. (3.5) Electric guitar synth and it's a Bizzy and Flesh duo, I prefer Frontline warriors and this track takes longer to grow onto you.

THUG LUV featuring 2pac 5/5. The second best to me and this has repeated shotgun blasts with piano synths. Bizzy does best because he is straight hardcore.if Bizzy wasn't on this track this wouldn't be one of Bone's best songs. 2 pac is next(he doesn't disappoint)and is does not rap fast. Layzie is next and as usual, he uses his amazing flowing skills but his voice is soft in it. Krazie is next and flows pretty hard was well. Wish doesn't do so well and he got worse from East 1999 were he was so much better.

HOOK IT UP 2.5/5

LOOK INTO MY EYES remix 5/5 this has a better tune than the original. My favourite verse on original was Layzie's and now it's Bizzie's. This has melodic tune and has a bit of electric guitar was well. The new music makes all the verses have a better beat and this it's now very catchy.

WEEDMAN. 3/5 This is just Bizziy from Bone and special guests. A great soft tune to chill to and Bizzie uses his high pitched voice like he used from The Art of War and onwards.

FRONTLINE WARIORS.Featuring Big B 3.5/5 A Layzie and Bizzie duo then Big B at the end. Now Layzie is soft and doesn't rap as good as he did on East/Eturnal 1999 album, his softer voice fits in perfectly with the deep base in the background. Listen to sleepwalkers(2nd verse) and that's got Layzies old style and you'll agrea that he used to be better in some ways. Bizzy raps just as good.

GHETTO COWBOY 4/5 Featuring Thug Queen, Krayzie Bone and Layzie. Krayzie sounds different and Layzie gives him help along the way.

Sleepwalkers.Faturing Eazy 5/5 This is an old track and why this wasn't on Creepin on ah come up or East 1999 is beyond me(maybe it was because it's short or it was not finished produced). Eazy E(R.I.P)uses great lyrics and after his verse you here an explosion and Layzie comes in and he's catchier as ever. He was my favourite rapper from East 1999 and this shows why. When krayzie comes in you can tell it's the young thug and he rapped more hardcore than he does now. Bizzy is next and does the most hardcore. He makes my head bob. Wish comes in and is not as hot as the rest of them thugs but he raps fast towards the end for 5 secs.


FAVOURITE SONGS(IN ORDER OF BEST)

1. SLEEPWALKERS.FEATURING EAZY E
2. THUG LUV
3. LOOK INTO MY EYES remix(better than original)
4. FRONTLINE WARRIORS
5. WEEDMAN, Bizzy Bone with special guests

If they want to be soft from T.W.O, then they should do songs like Frontline Warriors, Bone Bone or Weedman.

The Ruff Ryders camp is at it again. After Eve and Drag-On's solo projects, the crew is hitting heads with their second group LP, a sequel to Ryde or Die, Vol. 1. Ryde or Die, Vol. 2 is a Swizz Beatz-produced compilation that sounds a lot like video games. Whereas the crew's first LP featured DMX prominently, this one includes hardly any songs with the dog himself, Eve, or most of the original Ryders. Ryde or Die, Vol. 2 seems to be more of an opportunity for junior rhymers of the double-R, such as Yung Wun, to show their skills. Vol. 2 also gives listeners a chance to hear guest appearances by favorites such as Twista, Snoop Dogg, and Scarface. One song that stands out of this solid effort is the Sheek (of LOX), Redman, and Method Man banger, "2 Tears in a Bucket." --Vanessa Satten

2 out of 5 stars When a series goes bad.......2007-07-16

When the first Ruff Ryders came out I could say I was bumpin it back to back but this one showed that they should have stopped while they were still ahead. What kills this one? 1. Swizz Beatz producing every track. 2. Weak guest appearances 3. Asinine skits(i.e Im a H O E and F@@@ Da Haters).
4. Repetitive material. 5. Wack newcomers to their roster. The Good: WW III feat Yung Wun, Snoop Dogg, Scarface and Jadakiss is the best song on this album. Styles P rips his solo joint Holiday in half and I hate to say it but Eve's Got It All featuring Jadakiss is alright. That's it.
The Bad: 2 Tears In A Bucket would have been great without Sheek's weak verse and that cruddy beat but Red And Meth's verses were straight. Larsiny featuring Yung Wun's Ryde Or Die Boyz is a straight filler and Larsiny's punchlines could be seen a mile away(Im not joking). Twista makes a decent performance on Twisted Heat but Drag-on's lame verses and the awkward sounding beat make the song impossible to be enjoyed. Speaking of Drag-on he drops a fillerific joint called Weed, Hoes Dough that makes you wonder why he was even signed in the first place and you can tell no effort went into that hook and song at all. The Ugly: Fright Night featuring Busta Rhymes and Swizz Cheekz is HOT GARBAGE!!! That has to be the most ludicrous hook since 30 Rocks by Eightball & MJG featuring Puffy. Jadakiss solo joint stinks because of an awful beat that sounds like hammered dookie. Not only does that joint reek but The Lox joint Go Head is also a forgettable track. Dishonorable mentions: Stomp featuring Trick Daddy and Yung Wun(!!!????!!!), DMX's The Great and Parle's Its Going Down.
Bottom Line: The Ruff Ryders series went down the tubes a little too quick. The second installment? That sucks! The thing thats even more sad is that the next to series got even worser than this one. Do yourself a favor. Stay away from this series as if it was a Deathrow Records release because its only going to get worse after vol. 4.

2 out of 5 stars There is nuthin good about this album.......2006-11-20

This is when I officially gave up on RR. Swizz beats is the worst producer in the world. All those chimes in his beats makes me wonder how many christmas songs he's influenced by. There is a couple decent tracks but not enough to get more than this. Some of the features shine but the horrible beats kill the track for me. WW3 to me is everything whats wrong with this album.

5 out of 5 stars Ruff Ryder Compliation - Nothing is Bad about this Album.......2005-08-04

This is the second album of Ruff Ryders. Swizz Compliation Part Two if noboies sure. And if you are. Then don't read this. This second album is like more Southeren Beats and They Still Rhyme The Same. Nothing is bad about this album. Just listen to it. It's more creative. And I give it 5 Stars because of that Styles P song. Holiday. Change the Chorus Lyrics and it will be better.

4 out of 5 stars Barely a 4 star rating for the RR follow up Compilation.......2005-07-28

Volume 2 hit the streets just over a year since Volume 1 was dropped. The roster stays the same, except there is no Infa Red & Cross on this one, and you get Yung Wun & Swizz Beats. Not as good as Volume 1 but a little better then Volume's 3 & 4. As with volume 1, you get some big name guests as well as the RR camp and the first known verse of Swizz Beats' find, Cassidy, that I know of. 13 songs, like volume 1, but no classics and not as many horrible songs, it's more balanced. It has 2-3 almost classic tracks, 4-5 good songs, 3 ok ones, and 3 I skip. Production is decent, Swizz Beatz does 5 songs, Teflon, Mahogany, TJ Beats all do 2 songs, and P KIller Tracks & Parle each do 1. Another good one to get for fans of the Double R.

Album Description

The incredible DJ Jazzy Jeff presents the second installment of one of the best loved hip hop compilations of all time. The legendary first volume of Hip Hop Forever was mixed by Kenny Dope of Masters At Work fame and now DJ Jazzy Jeff is set to raise the bar with his star-studded collection. Classic hip hop, hard to find jams and new favorites are all represented and mixed as only DJ Jazzy Jeff can. Hip Hop Forever has commanded respect from hip hop heads old and new, the series' UK launch party in 1998 was hosted by hip hop legends Marley Marl and Pete Rock.

After releasing his amazing artist album The Magnificent in 2002, it was inevitable that we would present to the world DJ Jazzy Jeff's first official mix CD. Those of you who saw DJ Premier, Grandmaster Flash, Kid Capri and DJ Jazzy Jeff's tribute to Jam Master Jay at the BET awards last year will remember how Jeff received a standing ovation. It is this uncanny ability to move a crowd coupled with unprecedented turntable wizardry that is captured on volume two of Hip Hop Forever.

For the collectors, this very special installation of Hip Hop Forever will be available as a mixed full-length CD as well as in limited edition, un-mixed 2xCD. Regardless of which format you choose, sit back and enjoy a fine mix by possible the greatest hip hop DJ of all time. A great mix of old, new, classic and fine obscurities from artists including: Nas, Raekwon, Cypress Hill, Pete Rock, Gang Starr, A Tribe Called Quest and Jaylib.

4 out of 5 stars I got blind sided by this.......2006-04-16

I was completely thrown off gaurd by this album.Who would of thought that the Fresh Princes dj could put together a sick album like this.The man can dj people.The line up is sick and the cutting is above par.This is an official mixtape.This is not a compilation people.Peep the samples of the tracks he used.Check out his execution on the tables.Albums tight.Cop it

5 out of 5 stars The Foundation!!!.......2006-04-01

If you are new to hip hop music or just wanting a great hip hop compilation, this LP is highly recommended. These are essential artists/songs to check out. Especially, when ya have one of the illest DJ's mixin' & chopin' it up.

4 out of 5 stars That Raw Boom Bap (4.5 Stars).......2005-07-27

Jazzy Jeff has long been my favorite DJ. I've been following his work since '86 and it does my heart good to hear cats like Jeff still tearing it up. The tracks all range from the early to mid 90's and includes various bangers and some of them are pretty obscure like the "Can't Stop The Prophet" Pete Rock remix or O.C's classic "Times Up". I really don't have to go into much detail. Just look at the track listing, it speaks for itself. You already know how Jeff flawlessly blends tracks, so the rest is a no brainer.

The only flaw (if you can call it that) I could find on the album was the fact that some of the songs were censored (like "Made U Look"). It was a small distraction, but a distraction nevertheless.

Hip Hop Forever Vol. II is more than worth owning. If you haven't heard it by now, quit cheating yourself and buy it. Jeff has been my favorite since day 1 and he has yet to let me down.

Standout Tracks: Electric Relaxation, How Many Emcees (My Favorite), Times Up, Buck 'Em Down (Beatminerz Remix), Braggin' Writes, Made U Look, Square One, Can't Stop The Prophet (Pete Rock Remix), Live At The BBQ, and Words I Manifest

5 out of 5 stars True Turntabling.......2005-05-09

Excellent comp from J the man who invented transformer scratching. As well as a first class line up the mixing in this is second to none. Never heard scrathing this mad on a CD.

The man deserves twice as much acclaim compared to Will Smith as he isnt a sell out and keeps it real.

By this CD and get educated!!!!

5 out of 5 stars Only the Philly Heads Would Understand.............2005-05-06

Once again....Jazzy Jeff has proved he is the best Hip Hop DJ in the world. From listening to this CD to seeing a live set in Philly, he educates a crowd like knowone else.

Album Description

Mutant (Vol. 2) is the next stage of a search begun in pursuit of Man's Myth (Vol. 1). It's the hybrid beast created when toxic thoughts meet the toughest talk. It's loud sounds and an even louder point of view. All the confusion and infusion that fuels the Myth comes to a head in the mind of Mutant. Some have covered these topics before, but never like this. with the first volume they used their heads, with Volume 2 they loose their souls. Twiztid have never held back the heart, but it's never been heard like this. This Mutant also knows how to Rock.

5 out of 5 stars One Of Twiztid's Best Yet..........2007-03-21

In my opinion, this is one of Twiztid's best albums to date (behind the debut and Freak Show). I'm a fan of rock/metal music, so naturally i'm more into the rock elements that Twiztid fuse into their music. In fact, the only "rap" I listen to is Psychopathic. That being said, I must admit that this cd was a pleasant suprise. When I first heard that Twiztid were making one rap oriented album and one rock oriented album, I was worried. I figured the rock elements that Twiztid would fuse into this album would ultimately fall flat. Not that Twiztid's past rock oriented songs are bad (quite the contrary), but making most of the album rock oriented was taking a risk. If you're like me and listen to Psychopathic artists because they are a fresh "break" from the usual metal music that you listen to, then give this album a chance. I promise you, you'll be suprised.

5 out of 5 stars 4.5 STARS.......2006-03-24

Really good album, very different for Twiztid though. Quite alot of the songs on this album have heavy metal in them, which they have done before (Darkness, Bobbys Dad, We Don't Die etc.), but they've never done it this much though. At first it took a while to get used to all the heavy metal, but once i got used to it, i loved it. Highly recommended, even if you don't particularly like all heavy metal (like me), this is good music.

3 out of 5 stars The worse of the two albums..........2006-02-07

I loved Man's Myth, but Mutant, to me, was just okay. Twiztid said before either album was ever released that Man's Myth would have more of a rap sound and Mutant would have more of a rock sound, so I already knew which one I would like more. Even though I wasn't that big on this one, it does have some good songs, like "Triple Threat" and "Respirator." Even though Twiztid has the potential to do much better, this is still better than some of the crap that Psychopathic tries to put out.

4 out of 5 stars Twiztid Goes Rock-N-Roll.......2005-10-20

Let me start this review by saying that "Hector," the reviewer below who calls Twiztid a "Hot Topic" band, is an idiot. But you probably already knew that if you attempted to read his incoherent babble. Anyway, let's move along with an honest assessment of Mutant (Vol. 2). This is a great album because it reaches areas that Twiztid haven't touched before. The rock music on this album is MUCH better than their attempts at rock on "Freekshow" and the maturity in their music radiates throughout most of the album.

In all honesty, I think that Man's Myth (Vol. 1) is a better album overall, but I probably only feel that way because I generally like the rap stuff more than the rock stuff. If I was a die-hard Zuggalo, I may feel differently. I like how this album rotates from track to track between rap and rock because it is still attempting to please fans that may not dig the whole Twiztid rock-n-roll gig. While this makes the album's flow a little rough at times, most of the songs are great when you look at them on an individual basis. So, let's do that...

1. The Transformation of A New Civilization - (D) - I always skip this track; it basically sucks. As far as I'm concerned, Mutant begins with Track 2.
2. Get Off Of Me! - (A-) - Great opening song, gets the listener pumped up. Some of the lyrics are a bit chessy, but it still rocks. They opened with this on the Man's Myth Tour and it was great concert song!
3. Stardust - (A+) - I LOVE this song. Great beat, creative lyrics and a catchy chorus. I like the message behind the song too.
4. Familiar - (B+) - This one took some time to grow on me. I hated it at first, but now I think it is a great experimental track. The chorus is definitely the highlight of the song... very catchy.
5. Madness - (A+) - Another awesome song!! This is the wicked shxt at its finest... Jaime RIPS his verse here, damn!!!
6. Fxck U Part 2 - (B-) - This is just a rock version of "Fxck U" Part 1 on Man's Myth. I actually like this one better than the original, but it's still just a filler track.
7. Jenny's A Fat Bxtch (Skit)
8. Fantasy - (B-) - Another decent sex song from Twiztid. This one is slightly more mature than previous efforts like "Old School Pervert" and "Fxck on the First Date," but not necessarily better.
9. Who Am I - (A) - This is a damn good tune... catchy, short & sweet. This is probably my favorite rock track on the album, with "Familiar" coming in at a close second.
10. The Truth Will Set You Free - (D) - I'm not even remotely feeling this track. It seems uninspired and boring. Just my opinion...
11. Respirator - (C) - Lots of juggalos seem to like this one, but I personally don't think that it is as good as some of the other rock tracks. Listenable, but not a favorite.
12. Thriple Threat (feat. Blaze) - (A-) - This is a great rap track with Blaze that has an old-school feel to it. Very upbeat and bumpin'. Good stuff!
13. Starve Your Fear - (C) - Similar to "Respirator," this is another average rock track.
14. Manikin (feat. Violent J) - (A-) - Chessy? Yes. Been done before? Yes. Still good? Yep. Violent J has a nice verse and this song is too funny to hate. It made me want to go rent that `80s movie "Mannequin"... boy was that a mistake.
15. Note 2 Self - (C) - Probably the weakest "last song" ever on a Twiztid album. Just another average rock tune, nothing special here.

In conclusion, I'd say that this is a strong album. I like the fact that they experimented with some rock music. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but you've gotta give Twiztid credit for keeping things new and interesting. If I were introducing someone to Twiztid for the first time, I'd tell them to buy Man's Myth over this, but for Twiztid veterans this is a must have.

5 out of 5 stars The best mixtape of the year.......2006-11-29

Dead Prez keeps the gems coming on this second mixtape Get Free Or Die Trying. While these other guys' mixtapes are all about guns, drugs and whose breath smells like badunkadunk, Dead Prez continues to give you socially and politically conscious rhymes. Standout Tracks: F*** THE LAW, COMING OF AGE, TALLAHASSEE DAYS, SCARED TO DIE(free Askari X), BABYFACE(dude killed it!), WHEN MAMMA CRIES, WINDOW TO MY SOUL(Stic dedicates this one to his dope fiend brother), LAST DAYS RELOADED(killer collabo with Onyx), REAL BLACK GIRL(the beat is hypnotizing)and O.G.(Original Garvey). Filler: Out in the world(sounds like circus music)and Paper Paper(too short to be enjoyed). Bottom Line: Get Free Or Die Trying is a great follow up to Turn Off The Radio. Unlike the first one they dont borrow anybody's beat they use their own beats plus the production is tight. I strongly recommend this mixtape for anybody who wants a break from the norm.

3 out of 5 stars Dead Prez- Turn Off The Radio: The Mixtape, Vol. 2: Get Free or Die Tryin'.......2006-08-13

Having bought both of Dead Prez (Stic.Man, M-1) album's "Lets Get Free" & "RBG: Revolutionary But Gangsta", and enjoyed M-1's solo album " Dead Prez Presents M-1: Confidential" and their latest mixtape collaboration with the Outlawz "Can't Sell Dope Forever", I checked out their second official mixtape release "Turn Off The Radio: The Mixtape, Vol. 2: Get Free Or Die Tryin'" (2003). After the intro Dead Prez start the album off with a banger in "F*** The Law". They then change things up providing a memorable and laidback joint in "Coming Of Age", Stic.Man delivers a outstanding chorus, and the duo recall days past. After two short track's Dead Prez deliver a solid cut with "Scared to Die". Dead Prez shines again when telling tragic and deep tales on the sad "When Mama Cries". Dead Prez then tag team "Last Days Reloaded" with Onyx providing a grimy cut. Other track's that follow are not so memorable- more experimental with very little production. "Turn Off The Radio: The Mixtape, Vol. 2: Get Free Or Die Tryin'" is a solid Mixtape. Dead Prez in my opinion are one of the best current group's in the Rap game, delivering substantial hard hitting music in an industry full of one hit wonders. I am looking forward to Dead Prez next release and hope that Stic.Man decides to do a solo album.

5 out of 5 stars Revolutionary Disciples.......2006-04-18

4 out of 5 stars Better than the first.......2006-04-29

Since the last State Property record, a new member is to be found, Peedi Crakk, and each and all of the other seven rappers have upgraded their dexterities. They all sound so self-assured and technically good on this album. It's better than the first joint.

This is another Roc-A-Fella release without production by Just Blaze or Kanye West, but that doesn't really matter. The point isn't to make hits, but good hip-hop. The rappers intensity makes you forget the production at times, but every beat are special adjusted to this gang. Behind the boards we find Bink, Alchemist, D. Sot and Black Key. Everything is tight from the beginning to the end. "It's On" with Beanie Sigel and Jay-Z are a pleasure for your ears. "Blow" with Oschino, Sparks, Young Chris and Twista is a roller coaster of flows, even though none of them could compete with Twista. Oschino even has a solo joint, "Been Down Too Long", which is surprisingly good. Young Chris' partner Neef also get to show his talent on songs like "Can't Stop, Won't Stop" and "State Prop (You Know Us)".

The Chain Gang Vol. 2 should be enjoyed in it's completeness. Everything hits like a bullet, with the exception of the unnecessary remake of BDP's "Criminal Minded" ("Criminal Background"). Be prepared for gangsta lyrics. On this they take even further than on the first State Property record. They just keep it real, and it sounds refreshing without gimmicks. 73 minutes might just be too much, but when the rappers are as dedicated as this, it's well worth it.

4 out of 5 stars 4.5 star 2nd album from State Property.......2005-10-30


18 months after their debut group album, The State Prop boyz are back with another 4.5 star solid album, I like this one slightly less but it's still a very good album. This time the whole group is more represented, Neef is on more then 1 song, Peedi Crakk is introduced, and a few people who aren't in State Prop drop some verses as well. More songs then the 1st album with 17 on here, 1 I skip (which is the single from the album, much like the debut SP album single, it's my least favorite on here), 1 classic, 2 almost classic songs, 3 ok ones, and the rest are good or great songs. Production is good once again. Chad Hamilton does 5 songs, Boola and Black Key each do 2, and Darrell Branch, D-Dot, Bink One, Alchemist, Sean Francis, Henny Loc, Ruggedness, and Warren Campbell all so 1 song. A must have rap album for fans of hardcore hip-hop.

This album was pretty good. I really wasn't expecting much when I initially purchased the album about a year ago, but I was VERY impressed. The production was there, and the lyrics were worthy of some of the very ill beats. Young Hov blessed the track " It's on " where him and Beanie just rip it up back and forth. Other stand out tracks are : Want me back, B.L.O.W, and Rollin down the freeway. This album is definitely worth the purchase.

Is it too obvious to note that there's little peace to be found on the second volume of Ice Cube's would-be conceptual set? Throughout The Peace Disc, Cube and guests return to the theme "Keep it gangsta"--which at least partly means projecting an image of embattled, weary, but proud warriors at every turn. While strongly produced and delivered, the songs generally don't signify much that we haven't heard before. A few party tracks ("You Can Do It") and the somewhat softhearted "Until We Rich" stand out, but there's little here really worth mentioning in the same breath as Cube classics as far afield as "It Was a Good Day" and "When I Get to Heaven." --Rickey Wright

3 out of 5 stars Better than Vol 1 (3 and 1/2 stars).......2007-06-19

I was extremely dissapointed with the War disc of the War And Peace series but I was still going to give Cube another shot. Even though this album is a far cry from Amerikkkaz Most Wanted, Death Certificate, Lethal Injection etc, this is a lot better than the album that came before. The album kicks off with Hello(featuring Dr Dre and Mc Ren), a kick a** banger that reminds us of the NWA days. You Aint Gotta Lie To Kick It is superb as Ice Cube busts energized verses over a lively track and I'm sorry but Chris Rock was not funny at all on here! The Gutter S***(featuring Jayo Felony, Gangsta and Squeak Ru) and Supreme Hustle are two other higlights and Until We Rich which features Krayzie Bone wasnt a bad first single for the album. There are some skip moments though. You Can Do It(featuring Mack 10 and corny a** Ms Toi) is a lame club record that sucked on The Next Friday soundtrack and it sucks now. Gotta Be Insanity and Can You Bounce are pathetic attempts at club music that Cube should have reneged on. Roll All Day is weak storytelling joint where Cube talks about picking up a stray chick that would later drive away with his vehicle. and Record Company Pimpin is an honorable mention because even though he talked about something of substance(the woes of the music industry), the song is pale in comparison the songs he had back in the days of Predator and Bootlegs and B-sides. The album closes off with the awesome N**** Of The Century. Bottom Line: The Peace disc destroys any memory of the drab War disc. The production was a lot better and Ice Cube sounds better on here than he did on Vol 1.

4 out of 5 stars Another Good CD .......2006-11-03

War And Piece Vol. 2 is another good CD from Ice Cube. The best tracks are Hello, The Gutter ****, Until We Rich, Got To Be Insanity, Roll All Day, Can You Bounce, and Waitin' Ta Hate.

4 out of 5 stars Solid 6th solo album from Cube.......2005-10-16

Ice Cube is back for his 6th solo with the Peace Disc. This may be my favorite album from Cube (close with "Lethal Injection"). His lyrics are much different then his first few albums and the beats changed with tthe times but it's still nice to hear from Cube. With 13 songs, none ar ebad, 5 are ok, 1 is almost a classic and the rest are good. Guests are on 4 songs so you still get enough Cube to satisfy you. Production is decent as well, Chuckey Thompson & One Eye each do 3 songs, Puff Daddy, Younglord, Bud'da, Battlecat, Dr. Dre, T-Bone and Charley Bear all do 1 song. A must have album for fans of Ice Cube.

4 out of 5 stars nice comeback.......2004-09-12

I have to agree that Ice Cube hasn't put out as many good CDs as his three earlier projects (AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted, Death Certificate and Lethal Injection) but PEACE is much different. Though his lyrics are lacking, this is still a pretty good album with a couple of bangers. Everyone knows the well-known song, Hello, with his N.W.A. crew (excluding Yella and Eazy, of course). I was surprised at this track because Ice Cube totally tore N.W.A. down with his diss song, No Vaseline. Its great to see these three back at it as they were the best rap group ever to come out. The beat is alright, not a typical Dre beat you'd expect but it still works. You Ain't Got to Lie to Kick It w/ Chris Rock is also another nice track, a bit of a party banger. I like the way Ice Cube flows in this. I also like The Gutter Sh*t, it has got a mean gangsta beat and everyone shines on this. The best song on this is without a doubt Until We Rich with Krayzie Bone. To be honest, I reckon this is Ice Cube's best song and beats It Was a Good Day by a mile. The nice laid back tune is incredible and even though Ice Cube is a rough character, he still sounds good even when he's mellow. Krayzie Bone lays down a pretty good chorus bit too. You Can Do It is alright, this track really never got me moving and shouldn't have been on his Greatest Hits. Another track that I'm crazy about is Waitin Ta Hate. Most people will know EPMD's classic, So What Cha Sayin, back in '89. This song borrows the beat and Ice Cube lays down pretty harsh words that the faint ear won't enjoy. I like it because a lot of rage has been put into this track and it gets me moving. Nigga of the Century closes the album and is an alright track, don't really like the beat though.

True, Ice Cube's lyrical talent is lacking. Compare this and WAR to his earlier albums and you'll see what I'm talking about. Some people are also saying Ice Cube is running out of things to say but that isn't true, he's been in the game since the early 80's and still he brings to us good material. If you've just become an Ice Cube fan, I suggest you take a look at his earlier work to find out the true power of the Don before getting his later albums. And I'm out.

Has to be one of the best albums ive every heard. The first ice cube album i ever bought and im hooked. This album single handedly turned me into a big cube fan.

Amazon.com

As the home of Black Star and Company Flow, Rawkus has made a name for itself as the label for any late-1990s discerning hip-hop fan. But DJs have come to know Rawkus as the home of some of the underground's best singles--tracks that were available only on vinyl until the label started the Soundbombing series. Soundbombing II opens with Beat Junkies J-Rocc and Babu working their magic on Eminem's "Any Man"--and while it's a strong track from the wack-minded MC, it's clear that the men behind the wheels of steel are hosting this party. That's not to imply that the MCs aren't doing their part--Mos Def is the best part of a great track on "B-Boy Document"; his partner in Black Star, Talib Kweli, busts out with his other crew, Reflection Eternal, and the sultry-voiced Bahamadia on "Chaos"; Medina Green displays a nice flow on "Crosstown Beef" (produced, incidentally, by De La Soul's Posdanuos); and Dilated Peoples drop their science over minimal backing on "Soundbombing." There's more (from Company Flow, Grand Puba, Sir Menelik, Common, and Sadat X, among others), and it's consistently interesting, if not consistently overwhelming. --Randy Silver

4 out of 5 stars (8 out of 10) Maybe I Reviewed This Too Fast.......2006-06-10

When I first heard this album here, I thought it was a tight compliation and gave this a 5 star rating (10 out of 10)(My older review will remain on the reissue of this album). After about 4 of 5 spins I began to see the flaws in this album. First a lot of the members don't bring their A game behind the mic. For example: On The High And Mighty's "B-Boy Document 99", Mr. Eon gets outshined by the guests on that song, in this case Mos Def, and Mad Skillz. Diamond D on the song "When It Pours, It Rains" doesn't come off as strong as I heard him on his solo albums. Also I like the beat on that song, but unfortunately is short. The thing that makes me angry is that Jon Doe produced the track, and there is a rare 12" version where he rhymes making it a full length song, instead of some minute and something short track.


Okay, enough griping. Now for the good stuff. Other artists do bring their A game though. The most rememberable song is the Eminem "Any Man". Other artists that shine are R.A. The Rugged Man on the song "Stanley Kubrick", Dilated Peoples on the song "Soundbombing", as well as the hit single on this comp, "1-9-9-9" by Common and Sadat X, just to name a few. Other artists that appear on this are Medina Green, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Pharohe Monch, Company Flow, Sir Menelik, Grand Puba, and more. There are many other dope tracks that I recommend that you should check out. If you like compilation albums, then this one is perfect for you.

5 out of 5 stars Once Upon A Time Not Long Ago... [5 Stars].......2006-06-08

There isn't really a whole lot that I can add to the other eviews. Soundbombing is classic material. Point blank. Period. If you're relatively new to rap music and you want to hear what some of your favorites sounded like before they started to slip (like Eminem, Dilated Peoples, High & Mighty, etc...), then get this album. This album is the perfect embodiment of what Rawkus stood for at its peak. Tight beats, dope rhymes, and two top notch DJs [J-Rocc & Babu aka The Bumrush Brothers] scratching and blending every song in an outstanding fashion.

As far as negative aspects, there are none. This album is simply flawless in my humble opinion. Without being too dramatic, I'd have to say that albums like these are simply impossible to recreate (which is why Soundbombing III pales in comparison). Soundbombing II is truly a once in a lifetime experience. Man, I really miss the old Rawkus days.

Like I said man, this album is the perfect representation of what Rawkus in its prime stood for. It simply doesn't get better than this. If you consider yourself a fan of "real" hip hop, then quit reading this review and click the "buy" button A.S.A.P.

Standout Tracks: On Mission, Patriotism, 1-9-9-9, Any Man [My Favorite], Stanley Kubrick, Chaos, Crosstown Beef, B-Boy Document, and Every Time I Write

5 out of 5 stars Best of the Best.......2006-04-30

Really great CD, alot of good artists on it. Little bit of comedy as well. This was when Rawkus was in its prime. If you want a mix CD, this is the first one you should buy. Every song is hot, not one track should be skipped. Even the Eminem song is hot. It's a 5 star album so pick it up.

5 out of 5 stars RAWKUS AT IT'S FINEST..........2005-06-25

Once again, another fine mixtape courtesy of the late Rawkus Records (late because Kweli's the only artist still on). Before rap became permanently commercial, "Soundbombing vol. 2" was released at the highest point of the rap revivalist movement. DJ's J-Rocc and Babu aka the Bumrush Brothers seamlessly blend various 12" releases like they was born with it, also including the clever idea of putting an instrumental (featuring underground legends giving shout-outs) before the actual song, and scratch the mess out of it with other samples. Like any mixtape for the streets, there are no sweet tracks on this album. For the whole spin, this album is rough and rugged (giving you various images of stories and neighborhoods from New York to LA); beats are dusty to the break and the rhymes are top notch. The highlight tracks are the trancendent "1-9-9-9" with Common and Sadat X, July 4th celebration "Next Universe" with Mos Def, a mystic track "Chaos" with Reflection Eternal and Bahamadia, the caper "Crosstown Beef" with Mos' crew Medina Green, the short but gutter "Brooklyn Hard Rock" with Thirstin Howl III, and last but not least, the banger "Every Rhyme I Write" feat Smif-N-Wessun (aka Cocca Brovaz) and Shabaam Sadeeq. Further guest appearances are Grand Puba, Sir Menelik, Pharaohe Monch, Eminem, Skilz, Dialated Peoples, Tash, The High and Mighty, and Company Flow. If you claim you underground (I mean, below the subway underground), cop this. If you love hip-hop in its purest form, COP THIS!!!!!!!

5 out of 5 stars Just plain sick........2005-05-18

Man, if there was any kind of compilation album to get, this is it. They have the World Famous Beat Junkies on the Ones and two's doing a great job, man it felt as if you were listening to a mix show with great underground hip hop. Now the line up, great, if not better than the first ( which the first had an allstar lineup.) Having Eminem spit fire on Any Man over a dope beat was just sick, which was nice to see Slim Shady from his underground days before he put out the wack My Name is. Man, B-Boy document was just plain hot. A line up of Mos Def, Mad Skillz (or now known just as Skillz) team up with High and Mighty was nice. It was nice to see Pharoahe Monch on the mic on Mayor and WW III. Shabaam tore it up on Every Rhyme I Write and WWIII. I loved the Reflection Eternal songs, but since when did Reflection Eternal not come out with good songs. Common and Sadat X came correct on the mic on 1999. The only complaint I had was Diamond D. Man, the beat on When It Pours It Rains was just nice, but Diamond, quotes "The ice on my wrist makes the honey's eye's squint." Or " I want boats and planes, Ice ropes and chains" type of lines was just weird for a pioneer in hip hop to say. I guess his buddy and partner Fat Joe from Diggin in the Crates is getting to him. This same song is in Roc Raida's Crossfadaz cd, titled MC 2 which has the same verses as Soundbombing's but has John Doe trading the mic with Diamond in the Crossfadaz version. I wish they used that version because John Doe's verse was tight and definitely drowned out some of the wack lines Diamond put in. RA kind of turned me off with "We smackin B**ches by the hundreds." in Stanley Kubrick, but hey, that beat was just sick. Those were the only complaints with a strong album that ranges from artists like Eminem to Medina Green to Cocoa B's to the Mighty Mos. Beats are just plain nice, so it goes well with the Soundbombing title. All the lyrics are top notched, minus Ra and Diamond, but they are good mc's so I'm glad they are on this. This is a classic, so anybody that's a real hip hop fan, you need to have this.

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 the Rawkus label further into mainstream consciousness. Aside from the aforementioned intro and Q-Tip's "live" outro, there's 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're 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 Pharoahe 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

4 out of 5 stars I'm confused about something.......2005-10-19

This is basically adding on to what Adrian said earlier. I have had this CD for years and never noticed this. The back of the CD is not named right. I do understand that there is that He Lives song by RZA and that is track 15, but on the back of the CD it says 15 is Dilated Peoples. The version I have has Still Here and He Lives, but does not have Right and Exact on it.

4 out of 5 stars Solid compilation album.......2005-08-06

A lot more known and accredited rappers are on this one and it makes for a better album from start to finish, but you still get some undergrown less known lyricits on it but not as many as Volume 1. Packed with 18 songs (1 is just a remix with a dfferent beat so it's 17 total songs), it has 2 classics, 1 almost classic, 4 I skip, 2 ok songs, and the others are good or great songs. Production is on point on most tracks as well, and a bunch of different producers get behiond the boards on this one. Hi Tek does 3 songs, Erick Sermon & ALChemist do 2 each, and Rcokwilder, DJ Roddy Rod, Ayatollah, DJ Roddy Rod, DJ Mighty Mi, Mad Lib, Prince Paul DJ Premier and Scott Storch all do 1. A good labum to have for fans of real hip hop and lyrics.

4 out of 5 stars Pretty Nice.......2005-06-01

I bought this album for one song, Oh No with Mos Def and Phraoh monche and ended up liking the majority of the album. My BIGGEST beef is the large number of empty tracks between 17 and 38...what the heck is that about? I'm really glad the album showcases some of the lesser known artists like Words(worth), Consquence and Menace, and Saukrates. My favorite beat is from the Alchemist on Right and Exact, the oriental sound is ON FIRE. Pick up this album is you have some extra cash and want some hot beats and a nice mix of artists

4 out of 5 stars underground trying to surface (don't worry we can see you).......2003-11-15

First of all i would like to point out there are two versions of this album. Nothing major, but the copy i own, has a track with big L & C-town (called Still Here) in the place of The Last emporer. Both tracks are worthy of the cd yet the big l is doper.

With that being said the album itself is bangin, some commercial heads are featured which is okay since we all got to make money, but this is dope hip hop and you should buy it, not only is it mad cheap used, the album is worth every cent of that four dollars.

4 out of 5 stars lyricist lounge.......2002-12-25

first of all i never heard the whole cd, i've just heard the sampler which is great. this is why i've gave it only 4 stars, i don't know that the rest of the songs are great, so i only gonna give you a review of the songs i've heard. "w.k.y.a." has a nice beat, "oh no..." is a great song, "makin' it blend" has a pretty commercial beat but it's listenable, "get that doe" is great, "sharp shooters" is nice, "the legendary street team(remix)" is better then the normal one. "he lives" has some great story-telling, "right & exact" is a pure dilated peoples song. i've also heard the remix of "i've commited murder" which is one of my favorite songs.

The young duo Francisco Saldana and Victor Cabrera once worked at Harvard University as a chef and a dishwasher, respectively--but that was before they began remixing, redefining, and revolutionizing the burgeoning reggaeton movement. Talk about a Cinderella story: Known collectively as Luny Tunes, the pair has assembled a first-rate posse of stars for Mas Flow 2, the follow-up to 2003's first installment. Luny Tunes have been called reggaeton's answer to hip-pop producers the Neptunes, and Mas Flow 2 goes a long way towards justifying the comparison. High-wattage stars Daddy Yankee, Ivy Queen, Vico-C and Tego Calderon make appearances throughout the two-disc collection, and lesser-known artists are also highlighted. Even Frankie J pops up for a charged-up remix of his pop hit, "Obsession." The jerky beats of reggaeton can get a bit repetitive, but Luny Tunes add enough flavor to keep the hips swaying throughout the disc's 20-plus tracks. --Joey Guerra

4 out of 5 stars Switch it up a bit.......2007-03-11

I'm just starting to add Reggaeton to my playlist. I like it on the radio, but the style of the CD seemed to get old after the first half dozen. Too hard all the way through. Would have been nicer if it was broken up with some soft or smoother stuff here and there. I liked about 3 or 4 of the songs on the album. Go Ivy Queen!

5 out of 5 stars DOS!.......2006-08-05

Mas Flow 2 has a couple of the greatest reggaeton songs out there, and there are a lot. Luny Tunes know what they're doing and they get all the best artists - Daddy Yankee of course, Tego, Wisin y Yandel and so many more. "Rakata" is one of the best, but "Mayor Que Yo" is by far my favorite reggaeton song. "Verme" is also extremely catchy and the "Mirame" remix is amazing. If you love reggaeton or are just becoming interested in it, either way this should definitly be part of your collection.

5 out of 5 stars One of the best reggaeton CDs out there........2006-07-13

A reviewer stated this is a compilation of Puerto Rican artists. That's because Reggaeton is Dance Hall Reggae in spanish and is a style of music originated in PR. If it's not from the island, it's probably not Reggaeton but spanish rap. On the island there are some very popular DJs who work with every top act on the island. The best DJs are Luny Tunes and Noriega. This album, the other Mas Flow and their album with Noriega are some of the best reggaeton albums you can ever buy. If your new to Reggaeton and you want to try some out, you won't go wrong with this album.

5 out of 5 stars Mas Flow Dos, Might be the Best Reggaeton CD thus far.......2006-06-24

Track #1 Intro: Just like the title of the track, it's just an intro, nothing more nothing less.

Track #2 Rakata: A big hit in the latin clubs, first time you hear it, makes you want to dance. Great song to start off the album with. Great hip-hop feeling to it.

Track #3 El Tiburon: Another great dance hit from the duo producers Luny Tunes. Alexis and Baby Ranks make a great duo on this song. Sort of a Merengue and hip-hop feeling to it.

Track #4 Dale Castigo: Great song to dance along with also big in the clubs.

Track #5 Mirame: A great song from Daddy Yankee mixed with the Hindi-singing of Deevani. The ultimate song as far as mixing genres is concerned, with the mashing of Hip-Hop, Spanish(Cumbia/Merengue/Salsa), Reggae and Indian Music. A very popular song in the underground.

Track #7 Mayor Que Yo: Great song to dance along with. A song about being older than your girlfriend.

Track #10 Sobale El Pelo: Short but good song to listen to.

Track #11 Te He Querido, Te He Llorado: Probably the biggest hit from Ivy Queen thus far. Very popular on the Radio and Dance Floors, even though it's sad admission of a bad relationship. The beats keep you dancing despite the lyrics being a downer. Song is about a bad relationship, the title means "I've loved you and I've cried for you."

Track #12 Mirame 2 Version: Only thing remixed on this version is the addition of Tego's verse's.

Track #13 Dejala Volar: Another great song about a bad relationship.

Track #15 Tortura: A funky little song, great for couples to dance in the clubs.

The rest of the cd is good too, but I honestly feel the rest of the songs are fillers. In other words, they are good songs just not as good as the ones I've listed. Still the best Reggaeton Compilation CD thus far.

5 out of 5 stars ESSENTIAL TO ANY REGGAETON COLLECTION.......2005-12-20

Luny Tunes' Mas Flow 2, the epitome of reggaeton music at its finest. The c.d. of all reggaeton c.d.'s. Esto si es el perreo with collaboration after collaboration and hot beat after beat. If you know anything about reggaeton you most definitely should already have this c.d. completely memorized, but if not que malo eres..pero te perdono..now go and buy the c.d. esta que halde!
