    Self Made 2 is an interesting mix of in-house and all-star, and another reason to take Ross the ring-leader seriously.

    In large part, this compilation is underwhelming--there are exceptions, but the creativity is lacking and, to some degree, that's surprising, considering some of the talent on the roster.

    As a big fan of Wale and Rick Ross, I was curious to how this album would stand out and how Meek Mill, Omarion and Stalley would hold their own. Fortunately none of the tracks are duds, but my biggest issue is none of them really stand out either. Power Circle and This thing of ours are my favourite tracks on the album (and probably the overall best as well). So if you like any of the MMG artists, I would suggest you pick this up.… Expand

    I'm a fan of both Wale and Meek Mill, but this fell short big time for me. Best track is "Actin Up", but even there, the hook is awful and then French Montana turns in an awful guest appearance. This album is not worth anybody's time.… Expand
