Mar 28, 2017This is a hip hop masterpiece. Incredible scope and crystal clear narrative among stellar production and flows. You can't beat this for late 00s' LPs' a must have for any music fan.
-
Oct 28, 2011Great album. Raekwon simply keeps it true. Not better than first part, but it definitely greater than most of the hip-hop albums nowadays. RZA, J. Dilla keeps it on the same level. Plus nice beat from Dr.Dre. Which shows how much respect Raekwon has.
-
Nov 3, 2010Simply brilliant, Raekwon has shot himself back in to relevance with this one, the production on the album is second to none and all of the guest spots are perfect, everyone really stepped up their game for this one. EASILY the best Hip-Hop album of 2009.

Aug 18, 2010Great, great hip hop. One of the albums that we were waiting for too much, but it certainly paid-off. Raekwon (and the rest of Wu) at it's best. Must have for any old school rap fan.
P.S. I hate when people give score of 0. I believe that no music can be that bad and if people just put artist' hard work in to equation for review score it can't be less than 3,4 or maybe a 5. -

LexD.Nov 25, 2009This album is amazing. The production, lyrical imagery, and overall feel of it just had me shook. Best CD of 2009.

ScottHOct 22, 2009The flow is sickeningly tight. the beats are classic Wu-Tang style. this album is just loaded. could do without some of the interludes, but beyond that I have no complaints.

KingfishOct 6, 2009Outstanding. He brings hip hop back to the front stage, and uses lyrics and rhyme to teach the suckers how its done.

stevevSep 24, 2009probably one of THE BEST hip hop albums in the last few years, there is not one bad song on the album each song is done perfectly in production and rhyming. Definitely best hip hop album of the year.

EmielJ.Sep 24, 2009I'd say 9,5. It's been a long time since I actually ran out to the music store on the date of release for an album. This is the real deal. Deserving of both its metascore and userscore. Masterpiece. Also check for the bonus tracks (Europe) "Walk Wit Me" and "Badlands", they are not to be missed.

PabloE.Sep 23, 2009What true New York hip-hop should sound like... Rae delivered on his promise this time around.
-
-
MarkCSep 23, 2009In terms of sequels, this is up there the with Godfather 2, Aliens and Terminator 2 It is not just one of the best WU albums in years - it is one of the best Rap albums of the decade. Dont expect to take it all in on your first play.

JamieJ.Sep 21, 2009The best real classic hip-hop album of the year undoubted!

DerekC.Sep 18, 2009Instant classic...even better than the first. Great production, great lyrics, very balanced. Best album of 2009 so far.

StalksSep 17, 2009Raekwon pulled off the impossible & kept to par with the original, it's like watching the best gangster movie you have ever seen in your life it's so visual, roll a blunt get comfortable & get ready for only built for cuban 2 it takes off right where the 1st one left off, i don't want to fu.k it up for you get the album the 2 albums belong together.

VikramK.Sep 17, 2009A modern day classic, captures the essence of the wu domination that took place in the 90's. This album shows shows that Wu Tang still "ain't nothin to fuck with" and Raekwon is still the kingpin of "criminology" rap.

AndreM.Sep 16, 2009Classic follow-up.

MamurA.Sep 16, 2009This is definitely now of the best Wu solo releases to come out yet. Yes, it's up there with Return to the 36 Chambers, Ironman, Tical and even Liquid Swords & the original Cuban Linx. This is a classic, lyrically and production wise, a must have for all true Hip-Hop heads.

MichaelWSep 15, 2009This album follow the old and mix with the new vibe of the wu. I was excited to hear from raekwons new album that he made. This one tops it!

StephenSep 14, 2009Best Wu album in years, great production, great verses and sounds like an album rather than a set of tracks.
-
-
AdrianM.Sep 12, 2009Soulful and invigorating, we finally have a real Wu-Tang album that fires on all cylinders, reminiscent of their solo projects from the golden era. All the bits and pieces you would expect are there and the production is top notch all the way around. Best of all it stands up to multiple listenings, as the layers of complexity are peeled back like an onion.

This sequel may have little to do with the original, but if the title helps to point out this is the Shaolin poet's best work since 1995's Pt. 1, then so be it.
-
One can't fairly make the claim that "Pt. II" picks up right where the original left off, but this is the best Raekwon we've heard lyrically and musically in a long time, and barring a late entry this should be the best Wu-Tang related album of 2009.
-
While the songs may lack the original’s wild-eyed narrative, they still contain some of his most rewind-worthy bars in years.
