On their outstanding first volume, the folks behind Funky Precedent swung the spotlight on the new L.A. underground. The second volume focuses on the Bay Area. While there's certainly no shortage of talent to draw from with the likes of Planet Asia and the Hiero's Pep Love, Vol. 2 lacks the same cohesiveness of its predecessor despite some outstanding songs. Zion I and Amp Live's collaboration on "We Got It" boasts an infectiously snappy rhythm and strong lyrics. Likewise, the Bay Area's rich DJ community is well represented with Live Human ("Lagoona's Bliss Elephant Mix") and DJ Vinroc's "3ThaHardWay." Also represented are the esoteric stylings of Anticon with "Pity Party People" and the fierce, funky sounds of the Kemetic Suns on "We a Warrior." --Oliver Wang

A GREAT FIND.......2005-10-25

I will tell you right off the bat that I buy alot of compilations.Its the best way to discover great emcees and producers that you've never heard of.Alot of them can offer half a good album and every once in a while the whole album is bangin.Precedent 2 is bangin.This is what hip hop is all about.If you dont think hip hop can teach without sounding preachy then peep AZEEM on track 4.This album is full of great tracks and turntable demos.It has a great NY vibe.I love NY hip hop.Its where my heart lies.Its just the sound of it.Breakbeats with natural sounding samples combined with scratchin while an emcee ripes the track a new one.IT DOESNT GET ANY BETTER BOYS.All this computer sounding hip hop out there drives me up the wall.I hate 50,BAD BOY,ALL OF DEF JAM NOW,JAY Z AS OF LATE(how can people say the Black Album is his best.Ever heard Reasonable Doubt people),BLOW BUDDEN,LIL KIM,TONY YAYO,etc.The list goes on and on.Dont give up hope .Theres albums out there that still do it the way it was meant to be done.The Funky Precedent vol 2 is one of those.If your a fan of NY hip hop then grab this.It will make your day.GREAT LYRICIST.GREAT PRODUCTION.A GREAT FIND
