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

Hip hops finest put out something average, 2001-03-22
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.
wack-tactics now played by rawkus as they go commercial, 2001-12-21
Compared to soundbombing 1 and 2 and lyricist lounge 1 this is low grade ish and steadily dipping darkly into the no-limit function of sound = cash. i would'nt waste your money on this because it is unorigional and doesn't state anything new except for the regular curse of oh-no which they have chosen to utilise and make money out of. Buy something else thats my advice, soundbombings or some kweli ish.
Pure Lyrics!!, 2001-02-06
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!
Better than Vol.1, 2001-12-02
Now must of the other reviews have been saying how the first Lyricist Lounge album is better due to it being more of a live version, but i think the effect is better in the new version as it is much more produced and the sound is clearer. There are much more pumpin beats in this album with songs such as "oh no" and "get that dough" by beanie sigel" that tend to steal the show for me, but the one that stands out has to be number 10, Kool G rap and M.O.P. If you havent got this album then get it, if you dont have the first album then get it. If you have both albums then get something else.
A collection of hot lyricists!!!, 2003-09-19
This album is a hip-hop classic. There are 18 tracks including an outro by Q-tip & an intro as a live performance by biggie. All the other trax are hot!!, and i dont think threre are any songs on the album that arent particularly worth listening to.Though, the best songs are "get up" by cocoa brovaz,"sharp shooters" by desd prez& talib kweli&"battle" by erick sermon.So this is a definite,definite buy 4 yall hip hop fans.Bottom line...Its a collection of talented lyricists ,I'm out(r.i.p.Pac, Yak & BigL)
