Disco de DJ Clue: “The Professional Part 2 [PA]”

STOP TALKING SO MUCH! Nothing can ruin a CD as bad as a chatty DJ. There should be another version of this CD where he plays with Duct tape over his mouth.

I'm going back to Tony Touch.

If DJ Clue could keep himself from shouting the most annoying interjections every 5 seconds of every song, this CD would probably be one of my favorites. Almost all the tracks are really good, but DJ Clue successfully ruins every single one by either giving himself props every few seconds, telling us who's MC, or just yelling ...with his stupid stadium effect mic. CD is a would-be-good, but loudmouth Clue makes it a waste of money.

After blessing us with "The Professional" and the "Backstage: Mixtape" CD, DJ Clue is at it again with "The Professional Part 2". What I like about DJ Clue is that he has so much respect in the hip hop community, that most rappers and even some singers will bless DJ Clue with 16 bars or a hook at the drop of a hat. He always finds a way to get exclusive freestyles and hot tracks from today's most popular artists. This CD is no different from his previous CDs because it follows the same format but it still constantly reminds you of when you could get the tapes and CDs from back in the day with DJ Clue's famous sayings throughout the tape or CD. On "The Professional Part 2", DJ Clue starts off with a track called "Back 2 Life 2001" w/Mary J Blige & Jadakiss. Mary J rips the Soul II Soul classic to shreds and Jadakiss does his thing as usual when he gets his turn. This CD features a lot of today's favorites: Jay Z, DMX, The LOX, Capone N Noreaga, Nas, Method Man, Redman, Busta Rhymes, etc. The CD's main highlights are the "Jay Z Freestyle" where he takes one of my old favorite Notorious BIG beats and changes the game as usual with his lyrics. Then Jay Z hits us with something unexpected. A remix to the 2nd single off of his "Dynasty: Roc La Familia" CD for "Change The Game" w/Daz, Kurupt, Beanie Sigel and Memphis Bleek. The ROC and the DPG make for a classic collaboration on this song and this should definitely please people that are fans of Tha Dogg Pound and Rocafella. Other noteworthy tracks are "Fantastic Four Part 2" w/Nature, Cam'ron, The LOX, and Fabulous, "What The Beat" w/Method Man, Eminem, & Royce The 5-9, "I Don't Care" w/Capone N Noreaga, and "Getting It" w/Busta Rhymes & Rah Digga. You also get "Cream 2001" w/Raekwon and Ghostface Killah. Overall, you have a CD full of today's most popular artists and with help, one man keeps it all together. Any fan of DJ Clue's previous work will enjoy this offering from William M Holla.

Once again, the one and only DJ Clue. Who doesnt scratch, cut or mix any tracks on any songs, has recreated the mixtape genre!! There are nothing but exclusives from label mates Jay-Z, Beanie Sigel, and others. If you like stand outish songs and exclusive remixes, this is for you. If you dont like it, this album is still for you. Clue has a talent search talent(he discovered Fabolous, Paul Cain. Established Desert Storm, and still goes platinum for Jay and Dame on Rocafella!) They have changed the game.

This is not a bad album...there are definitely some good tracks on it but I have to agree with the people saying his annoying voice ruins those songs. If it wasn't for his connections he wouldn't be where he is now in the rap game.
