So "Soundbombing II" Turns 10 today.

battlecatmeowstab212 · Mon May 18, 2009 4:09 am

I'm pretty sure Wikipedia is wrong and this dropped on 5/18/99 as I recall having to wait in line for about a half hour behind a gaggle of girls buying Backstreet Boys' "Millennium" on the same date.

So how about this record? A great snapshot of the time. I also remember the final months of the pre-Viacom BET having "1-9-9-9" in heavy rotation to the point when it was number 2 on the Rap City countdown (with the KRS-ONE intro that I've been trying to track down for years) and debuting at #30 in Billboard.

the scratch routine leading into Patriotism was always my favorite shit.

I need to find this record and give it a listen. I've actually been thinking about doing this for a couple weeks now.

big dropoff from the first one.

the eminem song was cool, though.

Jeff's a nice guy. I'd classify the dropoff as enormous.

The first one had at least 10 keepers, whereas, I think I'm only feeling three or four tracks on the second volume. "Next Universe", "7XL", and "1-9-9-9" are quality tracks, obviously.

"Soundbombing II" marks my cut-off point for anything Sadat X related.

^^^^
wow. i can't think of any tracks i skip on the second soundbombing. not to say i skipped anything on the first, but i didn't think there was that bad of a drop off, if any

Personal classic.

I consider it to be better than the original.

Martin · Post by **Martin** » Mon May 18, 2009 7:41 pm

this thread is trippin me out. the only tracks i DO skip are 1999 and stanley kubrick. some of the rawest beats ever made are on this album in my opinion. especially crosstown beef and 7xl. and i think patriotism is company flows best song.

Perhaps I'm in the minority with my opinion, then.

I never really got into "Patriotism".

beneath the surface is slept on like a mug.

I remember being really pissed off that the Thirstin Howl song was just one verse.

In fact, a lotta shit on this record pissed me off. I considered it a big disappointment compared to the first one as well. B-boy Document, the Diamond D joint, and the Medina Green stuff was particularly annoying to me. I used to count how many times the MG cats actually rhymed in a verse.

7XL, 1999, Patriotism, and Stanley Kubrick were the standouts to me.

Glad to see "7XL" get so much love in this thread, that's always been my favorite.

Patriotism is fucking great.

WTF @ skipping 1999?
