After liking SoulAssassins 1 and really getting into Muggs/GZA Grandmasters I felt let down on this one. There is a rapper on here that totally bites Biggie's flow and lyrics and I couldn't even tell that Everlast was on here and when I did I heard some whack 'bling' money ryhmes from him. The best tracks are the two with GZA (one is a hidden track at the end) There are a couple others that good but in general not as solid as expected and no real stand outs.

I love DJ Muggs' beats. I lost this cd and had to buy it again because there is 5 or 6 songs with sic azz beats. Track 1 Kool G Rap song is ridiculous. KGR is so underrated.
Positives: Overall the production is pretty good. Appearances from Xzibit, GZA, Kurupt, & Goodie Mob are really good and certainly won't hurt album sales. There are a lot of pretty tight tracks and the hidden/bonus GZA track at the end of the last track is reall cool. This compilation exposed me to a few cool rappers I hadn't heard. Negatives: The production of "You Better Believe It" by Xzibit & King Tee is terrible. I can't stand the rock aspect of the song. Xzibit is arguably the most talented rapper on the album but the song is bad. The sixth track with the usually tight Kurupt has the same flaw. I don't like Cypress Hill at all so I have to skip their track. Their voices anooy me and I've never thought Cypress was worth listenin to.
This is as hardcore as gangsta rap gets. Muggs' second instalment of the SoulAssassins' Chapters ranks as one of the better gangsta rap albums released in the millennium. The album borders between straight cadillac crusing-blunt smoking-down the hood and a touch of horrorcore. Muggs, as the genius behind Cypress Hill, sets out on his own to lay a solid foundation to his career as one of the most aspiring producers in the history of hip hop. His second attempt to establish the SoulAssassins is a more matured approach. The groundbreaking SoulAssassins Chapter 1 was only a taste of Muggs' talent, which evidently stretches out in Chapter 2. He takes a deeper step into his ocean, of eerie undertones and spooky piano riffs laced with deafening bass thumps - only this time, it sounds like a soundtrack to a psychotic murder motion picture. And of course, assisting him is a cleverly selected group of underrated and gifted emcees from both coasts. The microphone stranglers in this album have styles that coincide with Muggs' mental probing production with pin point accuracy, and this makes the results a marvel to listen to. Kool G. Rap never sounded so good with West Coast beats; Infamous Mobb's G.O.D. spits his best record ever; X'zibit rises to the peak of hardcoreness with King Tee; Ras Kass' guest appearance on a track with underground favourites Chace Infinite, Krondon and Phenam is a surprise - its good to know he's gone back to his old style; Kurupt makes two appearances - firstly to tease us with a head bopping interlude only to later cause massive wreckage with Roscoe - this is probably the tightest collaboration I've heard from the West Coast since the Dogg Pound. Even Everlast drops a short 2 verses across a nodding bassline and still manages to get the point across. The most astounding and inspiring track has to be Dilated Peoples' "Suckers Are Hiding" which is extremely addictive and you'll be rapping along with it in no less than 2 listens. There are also appearances from artists who made the first album: GZA, Goodie Mobb and Cypress Hill. Muggs produces all but 2 tracks which are contributed by his protégé The Alchemist, whose production is similar to that of Muggs (He would later be inducted in the Infamous Mobb Deep, Cypress Hill and Dilated Platoon families). DJ Muggs' creativity is exceptional and this album celebrates the brilliant calibre of his skills. Oh yeah, and make sure to check out the remixed GZA hidden track - it clearly shows how Muggs touches two ends of the world with his music (total seriousness toned to happy head bopping over the same lyrics).
Soul Assasins 2 is a great album, a far better effort from DJ Muggs than Cypress Hill's very lacklustre Skull & Bones album. Muggs uses his trusty formula of lowkey piano samples, dark and minimalistic production inspired by Black Sabbath, Doors and others. While he's formula has began to repeat itself on the past few Cypress Hill albums, he's produced some killer tracks on his solo effort. It's not solely his work however as veteran Soul Assasins cliq member Alchemist drops a few bomb tracks, similar to his "Deadly Assasins" cut on Everlast's new album. The quality and flow of the guest rappers is uneven with Kool G Rap, G.O.D pt3 of the Infamous Mob, Everlast, Kurupt & Roscoe along with Dilated Peoples being the dopest emcees..not to mention a standout cut from Xzibit and King-T, latter being one of the most slept on emcees of late. Muggs weaves his dark dank sound well and he only falters in few of the albums 14 cuts, the bad ones sound like they've been left off Skull and Bones. All songs are dark and ominious, this is a very moody album which Soul Assasins do best. Soul Assasins will indeed survive.
