10 (out of 10) - "...where do you go once you've made the greatest hip-hop album ever? Unbelievably, you consolidate that with an equally splendid follow-up....This time the sounds were softened slightly with flashes of 'real' instrumentation but the content remained as astonishingly tough and intelligent as before..."
