Customer Rating:      Summary: Track for track and pound for pound is the Best Album of 2008! Comment: First off......A++ on this album. Give your, "Praise" to Chad because this is YOU'RE BEST ALBUM to date!
Honestly now I'm a HUGE Hip-Hop, Rap, Gangsta, Killer, whatever you wanna call it a "Trill" (No pun intended) fan. But the Southern rap (ie. UGK) never really did it for me.
Anyways I heard a couple of tracks that I LOVED. Downloaded a couple more and fell in love with almost every track. Although as much as they say they miss Chad Butler (Pimp C.) he DIED of a drug overdose and these guys talk about nothing but being "Posted Up" and "Rockin' It Up". So ecessentially THEY SUPPLY/SUPPLIED the drugs that he OD'ed on. I HAD to say it because what a FRIGGIN' Oxymoron.
So I downloaded tracks and being the GOOD INTERNET user that I am I DID actually BUY this disk, even though I had all the tracks.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Bun B still at the top of the game Comment: Bun B's first solo, Trill, I bought a couple years ago and it was a great album. Great rhymes, great beats, and featured every artist from Mannie Fresh to Ludacris. Then Trill II came on the scene. Bun B still keeps it real, and he has, I think, some of the BEST rhymes and the BEST flow of any rapper out there. He also likes to feature other artists, and he does it over killa beats. Almost every song on this CD is tight, but here are some of my favorites:
1) Underground Thang (feat. Chamillionaire and Pimp C -RIP)
2) Damn I'm Cold (feat. Lil Wayne)
3) II Trill (feat. Z-ro)
4) Swang on 'em (feat. Lupe Fiasco)
5) You're Everything (feat. Rick Ross, David Banner, AND 8-Ball & MJG!)
6) Keep it 100
Buy this CD -- Bun B's carryin on the UGK legacy of greatness!
Customer Rating:      Summary: good sound of music for the G's out there. Comment: This is one of Bun B greatest cd out there right now in the stores. The gangsta of his music is so real to the streets. So go out there an get a copy of Bun B, Trill 2.
Customer Rating:      Summary: One of Rap's Living Legends releases another classic... Comment: Bun B has done it again. With amazing beat selection and ferocious lyrics, Bun B has dropped another southern classic. There is a reason that this man in well respected throughout the hiphop community. His lyrical abilities shine through on this cd, coupled with the amazing beat selection thanks to his producers.
Buy this CD. You wont regret it!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Music as a Money Grab Comment: I grew up on East Coast rap such as Schooly D, Public Enemy and BDP, but I never thought that it would bias me in any way towards quality hip hop. I must be wrong because people love this CD and I don't. The sound that emanates from the "dirty south" is all about being gangsta and spending money foolishly... topics that I found tiresome in the early 90's when it was still relatively fresh.
There is one song that makes an attempt to address social issues, but it comes off as contrived due to the rest of the album's topics of interest. How can you rap about local politics forcing one into a life of crime as being a bad thing when you glorify the fruits of your "labor" the rest of the album?
