Title: Nothing like LL1
Product review: When I listened to Lyricist Lounge 1, I was blown away from all the new "underground emcees" that were emerging. Now I listen to LL2 and can see that Rawkus has gone mainstream. Where does JT Money, Paster Troy, and Macy Gray have any skills as a emcee? This album starts out strong with an unbelievable live performance by one of the greatest MCs ever, Big(RIP), and continues with Big L (RIP). I enjoy the different flavor this album offers and unlikely pairings of emcees (Mos Def & Ghost, Redman & Saukrates, Kool G & MOP, Talib & Dead Prez), but was hoping for new faces. A battle of the rookies. Overall, it's tight, don't get me wrong, but it seems to be just another collaboration of various hip-hop. Get it, but don't expect a sequel to LL1.
