    “E.L.E. 2” may be bloated and overloaded with A-list star features, but it works. Somehow managing to cater toward two generations of listener; you could have this playing on a CD in your car for weeks, skipping some tracks and then discovering new favourites down the line; yet there’s enough excellent individual moments here to populate a digital playlist too.

    Overall, Extinction Level Event 2: The Wrath of God is a welcoming addition to Busta Rhymes’ extensive catalog.

    ‘ELE 2’ finds Busta Rhymes reseated at hip-hop’s top table – until the world comes to an end, of course.

    Extinction Level Event 2 is just too ambitious for its own good. Yet, for all the lazy sequels and cash-ins in a genre rife with them, it’s hard to fault Busta Rhymes for striving a bit too hard to go that extra mile.

    Four or five less tracks and a little less time spent extrapolating on the end of the world would have made for a far more engaging listen, even taking into consideration how rare new material from Busta Rhymes can be in this phase of his work.

    'Extinction Level Event 2' is often bloated and monotonous, making its one hour (plus!) run-time challenging to endure. What could be a colourful and important album is unequivocally tarnished by the tedious, repetitive, and needless opening seven tracks.

    This is a 7. Busta is still Busta, no matter what, and that is great. The music production is a perfect fit for what his style is, how heThis is a 7. Busta is still Busta, no matter what, and that is great. The music production is a perfect fit for what his style is, how he likes to sound, and is at the same time a good fit to this days type of hip hop sound. When we get to talk about lyrics, of course we are not going to be disappointed, because he is one of the artists that always had something different, with his method of saying of what needs to be said.… Full Review »

    Really dope album. Busta Rhymes delivered with this one. Virtually no skips, a lot of bangers and some more retrospective cuts. Thanks!
