Following their DJ renaissance compilation Return of the DJ, Bomb Records continues its promise of "all hip-hop DJs, all scratching" with Vol. II. This time it's a global thing, representing Holland, Norway, Canada, and the United States coast to coast. DJ Jeff from Amsterdam almost induces scratch seizures with the carpal-tunnel pace of "Change the Scratch." On "Static's Waltz," Canadian DJ Kid Koala slows the show down to molasses, setting what sounds like 15 records at once to incorrect speeds. Other legends, like DJ Jimmie Jam, Z-trip (who marries Run DMC to Black Sabbath on "Rockstar"), and the X-ecutioners' Roc Raida, represent. However, the most impressive composition is Tommy Tee's "Aerosoul," an anthem to graffiti art that paints its canvas with news commentary and samples from the mighty KRS-One. There's plenty of old and new blood on Vol. II to keep your ears pricked. --Todd Levin

Just as Good.......2006-02-06

Almost identical quality of music from the first. Highly recommened for all DJ's & Hip Hop fans alike.

Turntablists Dream.......2000-10-07

I've been DJing hip hop for around 4 years now and now one single album has influenced me such as this one (also vol #1-3) This album is dedicated to hip hop DJ's and opened the eyes of many as to whats really going on in the underground scene. DJing is one of the four elements of hip hop and is finally back in the open. Tracks like Aerosaul, On Da Flex, and Private Parts are crazy in depth productions. Any true hopper should have this album and for any turntablist, its a requirement!!

Return of the DJ, Vol. II.......2000-04-22

I enjoyed "Return of the DJ, Vol. I" so much, I decided to check out its sequel. Volume II ties DJs from all around the world united with a common theme - a love for hip-hop and scratching. Volume II is as good if not better than Volume I. The album is set up like a tournament with DJs representing their hometowns, each trying to outdo each other. Full of the usual DJ braggadacio and scratching to make your head spin, Volume II pays tribute to all four elements of hip-hop - DJing, MCing, graffiti, and b-boying. And its unlike anything else, repeated listens unveil more and more familiar samples with everything from Mortal Kombat to Cypress Hill to A Tribe Called Quest. Impressive tracks are "Change the Scratch" by DJ Jeff, "Static's Waltz" by Kid Kaola, "Aerosoul" by Tommy Tee, and "Rockstar" by Z-Trip. Fantastic representation of a long-overlooked culture.

DJ JEff.......2000-04-17

If that track with DJ JEff was the only good thing on here, the cd would e worth buying. But it's not the only good track...they ALL are! I just picked up this album last night and it's tighter than nuts & bolts!

World War III waged on wax.......1999-12-28

It's east versus west in Vol. 2 and Bomb Hip Hop Records obviously wanted to showcase turntablism's international appeal here. The first half of the joint is all foreign DJs with the USA representing the 2nd half. But these European spin doctors don't disappoint.

First off, DJ Jeff is WICKED on track 3! I was PARALYZED with disbelief the first time I heard "Change the skratch" in my car. There's NO WAY a human could possibly scratch that FAST. And he juxtaposes the rawnesss of it all with a cool sax in the background to add a nice jazzy effect.

don't be duped into buying this.......2005-08-24

While this was released by the same company as Fantasy Dreams (Vol. 1.) this is not performed by the same band/person. While Fantasy Dreams (Vol. 1) included wonderful re-arranged renditions on classic film themes performed by Metasonica, this CD is simply compiled by cheezy synthesized tracks from various budget compilations.

Return of the DJ.......2001-01-14

You know how sometimes you feel an urge to play air drums/guitar when you hear someone manipulate the instruments with great skill? Well, that was the feeling I got when I heard Z-Trip's/Radar's "Private Parts." Overall, a fantastic album; Kid Koala delivers a "Drunk Trumpet"-like track, "Static's Waltz" (This comp obviously came out before Carpal Tunnel Syndrome though), which would get my pick for creativity. Recreating a typical 3/4 waltz rhythm with scratches is a first. Another great track is DJ Jeff's energetic "Change the Scratch," where one sample ("To be a DJ/ you gotta be the best/have your own kinda stuff/not like the rest) is worked over and over again with multiple styles of scratching (Not like I know what they're called). This album also showcases the DJs from around the world, not just the US, like the first disc did (Kid Koala is Canadian, DJ Jeff is from Amsterdam, Tommy Tee is from Norway, etc).
