This is as hardcore as gangsta rap gets. Muggs' second instalment of the Soul Assassins' Chapters ranks as one of the better gangsta rap albums released in the millennium. The album borders between straight cadillac crusing-blunt smoking-down the hood and a touch of horrorcore. Muggs, as the genius behind Cypress Hill, sets out on his own to lay a solid foundation to his career as one of the most aspiring producers in the history of hip hop. His second attempt to establish the Soul Assassins is a more matured approach. The groundbreaking Soul Assassins Chapter 1 was only a taste of Muggs' talent, which evidently stretches out in Chapter 2. He takes a deeper step into his ocean, of eerie undertones and spooky piano riffs laced with deafening bass thumps - only this time, it sounds like a soundtrack to a psychotic murder motion picture. And of course, assisting him is a cleverly selected group of underrated and gifted emcees from both coasts. The microphone stranglers in this album have styles that coincide with Muggs' mental probing production with pin point accuracy, and this makes the results a marvel to listen to. Kool G. Rap never sounded so good with West Coast beats; Infamous Mobb's G.O.D. spits his best record ever; X'zibit rises to the peak of hardcoreness with King Tee; Ras Kass' guest appearance on a track with underground favourites Chace Infinite, Krondon and Phenam is a surprise - its good to know he's gone back to his old style; Kurupt makes two appearances - firstly to tease us with a head bopping interlude only to later cause massive wreckage with Roscoe - this is probably the tightest collaboration I've heard from the West Coast since the Dogg Pound. Even Everlast drops a short 2 verses across a nodding bassline and still manages to get the point across. The most astounding and inspiring track has to be Dilated Peoples' "Suckers Are Hiding" which is extremely addictive and you'll be rapping along with it in no less than 2 listens. There are also appearances from artists who made the first album: GZA, Goodie Mobb and Cypress Hill. Muggs produces all but 2 tracks which are contributed by his protégé The Alchemist, whose production is similar to that of Muggs (He would later be inducted in the Infamous Mobb Deep, Cypress Hill and Dilated Platoon families). DJ Muggs' creativity is exceptional and this album celebrates the brilliant calibre of his skills. Oh yeah, and make sure to check out the remixed GZA hidden track - it clearly shows how Muggs touches two ends of the world with his music (total seriousness toned to happy head bopping over the same lyrics).

This Cd is classic material. You need to keep this in your 60 disc changer forever. Muggs' Soul AssasinsI is nothing compared to the S.A.II. I recommend this if you like the collaborate style Cd's.I wish Cypress Hills could use the beats off this album to make them sound like they did when they just killed a man.Kool G Rap,Gza,Infamous Mobb,Dialated,with Goodied Mob, c'mon? This is a sleeper. I hope Muggs made some flow from this one, becuase he deserves it. Keep it up Muggs. Job well done. One love to all the hiphop heads that know what this sh@t should sound like. Lil who? Kanye wh@? We know you were listening to Muggs in the 90's. Much respect... Violen strings,fat beats,stares, Dj premier must give props to Muggs.Whens the third of the trio coming out???????? 8-14-04

How this album cn be slated I do not know. Muggs has worked with high-profile artists in his time (Dr.Dre, Ice Cube, KRS-One to name a few), but on this installment of the Soul Assassins, he works with less well-known artists.
He wanted to surprise a few people because he could easily have an album filled with artists that are guaranteed to sell but Muggs prefers to keep things closer to the streets.
From Kool G Rap's tremendous opening, this album is brilliant. Admittadly, there are tracks that lack something but when you work with so many different artists, what do you expect?
This album is a marked improvement on the first album and I believe that the stand-out tracks that are Muggs-produced are from GZA, Everlast and Heart of the Assassin. The best track, I think, is the Alchemist produced Dilated Peoples track. The chimed beats are typical of him and the production wrk is phat. The beat for this track is remarkably similar to that of Royce Da 5"9's I'm the King, which of course was produced by Al.
Overall, if you wanna hear a sample of the underground plus a few well-known artists going back to the roots, then get this album...

" A must have for all Cypress hill fans and fans of hip hop".......2002-01-31

In this album Dj Muggs the brilliant Dj behind the beats of the west coast super group Cypress Hill, delivers a follow up to his
previously released compilation album Soul Assassins:Chapter 1. But Soul Assassins is a more gloomy type of album similar to the style Cypress Hill took in its "Temples of Boom" album. But this album is really underated, which is a shame because of the talent that is on this album and the one that came before it. Some of the artists that appear on this album include; GZA, Xzibit, Kurupt, Cypress Hill, Everlast, King T,Ras Kass,Goodie Mob, Kool G Rap, and Snoop Dogg ( who appears on the intro of Kurupts and Roscoes track but isnt listed. Pssst...Heres another reason to get this album at the end of the CD version theres a hidden track Done by the GZA which is slammin... so keep track 15 running if you have it. (5:16) Hint hint... There are really no disappionting tracks who ever said that is crazy. I'll be the first to admit that Skull and Bones was Muggs' weakest production to date but this album eclipses it,you can tell he spent time perfecting the beats on this album, and Everlast's and cypress' track are some of the albums strongest tracks. Believe me you won't be disappionted with this compilation album, like other compilation albums that have been put out by artist like Dr.Dre (that aftermath album) and p diddy..this one is really a tight compilation album get it!
