Album Notes and Credits

Notes & Personnel Info
	From its humble beginnings in 1991 as an open-microphone night, the Lyricist Lounge helped launch the careers of such hip-hop heavyweights as Mos Def, Eminem, Foxy Brown, Rah Digga, and the late Notorious B.I.G. LYRICIST LOUNGE 2, a stellar compilation record, features both mainstream and underground hip-hop talent.
	Commencing with a live freestyle from Biggie Smalls, and then heading into a thumping cut from Mos Def, Pharoache Monch, and Nate Dogg called "Oh No," the album never looks back. No watered-down, commercial radio-friendly bubble gum rap here, LYRICIST LOUNGE 2 is pure hip-hop. Other big names are Q-Tip ("Makin' it Blend"), Erick Sermon ("Battle"), and Redman ("W.K.Y.A"), while a sampling of the many killer tracks includes "The Legendary Street Team" from Kool G Rap and M.O.P., "Ms. Fat Booty 2" from Mos Def and Ghostface Killah, and "Sharp Shooters" from Talib Kweli and Dead Prez. LYRICIST LOUNGE 2 is everything you could want in a gritty, hot beat, slick lyric compilation.

Rolling Stone (4/12/01, p.138)
- 4 stars out of 5 - "...A nonstop tribute to the vitality of New York hip-hop...Studio-recorded withtop-drawer beatmasters...uniting alt-rap icons with know hards...Scary stuff, but convincing..."

Spin (1/01, p.116)
- 6 out of 10 - "...A collection of catchy, star-studded potential singles....a roll call of street teams, each working a different angle of the mainstream fringe..."

Mixmag (1/01, p.147)
- 4 out of 5 - "...A star-studded classic....There's too many to list with rap's top lyricists in the mix. Awesome."

The Source (12/00, p.258)
- "...With an orgy of beats and a number of MCs flexin', there's bound to be at least one 'hip-hop' fantasy fulfilled for everyone."

NME (Magazine)
(11/25/00, p.34)
- 6 stars out of 10 - "...A surprising sonic uniformity links efforts as diverse as talib kweli & Dead Prez's politically anatagonistic 'Sharp Shooters' and Kool G Rap & MOP's anthemic 'Legendary Street Team'..."
