Busta has made himself one of the most recognizable names and faces in hip-hop by creating unforgettable moments, and with E.L.E. 2, he has crafted yet another. But this time, he achieves the feat not simply with a catchy verse or hit single, but rather with a masterpiece of a fully-realized album, at a time when the culture desperately needs it.

The animated New York juggernaut reseats himself at hip-hop's top table with this intricate and impeccably produced sequel to his 1998 blockbuster.

There’s certainly some tracks here that may have been best left on the cutting room floor, but Busta proves once again that he possesses one of the zaniest flows and voices in hip hop, and, honestly, with generosity in such short supply, there are far worse ways to spend your time than with too much of a decent thing.

The 22-track set finds Busta delivering his time-tested bombastic flows over old-school East Coast production and wrangling in a dizzying number of big-name guests to help out.

At 22 tracks and nearly 80 minutes, ELE2 is a slog made mostly worthwhile by Busta Rhymes' virtually unrivaled proficiency and personality on the mic.

'Extinction Level Event 2' is often bloated and monotonous, making its one hour (plus!) run-time challenging to endure.

As much as i think this isn't great,i still felt all the nostalgia that it emanates. Busta is back and it's definetly not a bad comeback from his last...umm.."effort".

Extinction Level Event 2,the sequel to the 98' 3rd studio album,which came out 22 years ago,had a really bumpy upbringing but it's finally here after 6 years since it was announced (really odd story) back in 2014. The album is as bumpy as it's upbringing,but ... read more

Yo, this made me respect Busta Rhyme’s skill as an album artist a lot. This is a very long album, and I was just vibing all the way through. Great production, great rapping from Busta, great features and more.
There are a couple really uninteresting duds, but for the most part this album is just really engaging. I think the really existential elements of this album made it really hard to see myself coming back. The highly religious sections were really intense, and kind of tough to sit ... read more

Busta’s animated deliveries, the solid production, and the usually great features sadly aren’t enough to make this as interesting a listen as it could be due to the unnecessary
album length.
This album didn’t need to be this long. It could have been cut in half and still achieved the same message while being even better and more concise. Yes there are standouts, but there’s just too many ok or filler songs to make this as good as it could be as it just drags on at ... read more

Busta Rhymes still has the most animated delivery I've ever heard in rap. He has interesting flows throughout and some dope lyricism, especially when paired with great features like Kendrick, Rick Ross, and Rakim. The production is all over the place on this one though, sometimes fire and sometimes weak. Questionable mixing here and there too, as the layers of his vocals can be too much at times. Outta My Mind sounded a bit weird, as the original song has a very different tone. Still, creative ... read more
