Album Description

This album shows the maturity of the pair that has given us twelve straight years of raw Hip-Hop. 7L handles all the production save one J-Zone-produced banger and Esoteric shows why he is one of the most consistent and talented writers in the game today. The duo is supported by lyrical appearances from Army Of The Pharoahs (Vinnie Paz, Outerspace & King Syze), Demigodz (Apathy Celph-Titled, & Rise), MainFlow, & Boston vets Beyonder, KT & Uno The Prophet. Sit back, relax, and remember why you got into rap in the first place...7L & Esoteric proudly present DC2: Bars Of Death.

8 Bars in...I wanted to die.......2006-05-20

First off, Celph Titled is a great MC and Esoteric can hold his own when he is a featured MC. However, I am in no way a 7L & Esoteric fan and never have been. Overall, they put together some decent music usually and I have not hated their previous albums. Bars of Death is a horrible album all around. 7Ls beats are the worst he has ever put together and the ones that show promise seem rushed. "This is War" is the only track on the album worth anything.

The best lyrics on the album come from Main Flow who really brings it and makes "That's Right" a decent song. The worst song is "Rogue Nation." This beat and the lyrics just do not fit at all and the scratches lack any originality. I think the whole "that ain't right" phrase died on that track. Esoteric has never had good choruses and this album is a celebration of weak hooks. They never fit the song and all sound exactly the same no matter the rest of his flow or the beat.

The underground has a lot of diversity and I would never want to comment negatively on someone else's art, but this album is way below what can be expected from some good MCs and a generally good producer. One of the major drawbacks from the album is that it lacks any flow from track to track. This is one of the biggest difference between this album and Dangerous Connections which really had a good feel to the entire album.

Listen to some of the tracks and if you dig it then get it. However, there is some good Jedi Mind Tricks, Army of the Pharoahs, or Celph Titled albums that are a lot better than Bars of Death.

Great album! Good lyrics!

this is boston's finest.......2005-06-10

This album is dope. Especially the first five or so track are amazing. I didn't expect that level of brilliance could be maintained throughout the album and it isn't. After the first five tracks, there are some good songs interspered between song not so great ones. This ablum has eighteen songs and the intro is just a skit but the rest is all music. Eso's lyircs have grown and the lyrics as well as the beat are very ecclectic from mellow tracks to hype energy filled tracks. This is one of the best undergound albums of 2004 if not the best. I would definately reccomend this one!

Crazy!!!!.......2005-02-26

This is a 4or 4.5 for sure, and I'm a big fan of immortal technique, babygrande, alchemist etc. From DC Theme with the big guitar riffs and JayZ type flow to Ring Music with the George Bush disses and good lyrics to the best cuts Grace of Gods, Another Way Out, So Glorious and This is War the album is crazy tight.
Definitely worth it! this is my first but not the last time i'll cop 7L and Es

very solid release!.......2004-10-09
