    The track ["Power Circle"] and the entire album seems to lose its air after he [Gunplay] makes his exit. [Aug 2012, p.59]

    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.

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

    With Self Made 2, MMG takes another step toward truly becoming untouchable.

    In and of itself, Self Made 2 is a decent album that should find relative success.

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.… Full Review »

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.… Full Review »
