Reviews Customer Reviews for United Ghettos Of America Vol 2      Good follow up comp to vol 1      Rating:      Yukmouth is at his best when he isn't trying to be commercial. The same goes for the guest spots on this compilation. The first United Ghettos Of America was great. Why? Because there was no commercial approach. They gave it to you raw. This album goes for the commercial approach and even though its not all horrible, it does have it's fishy moments. The Good: Kill 'Em Off is great single to kick off the album with and everybody who spit on there(Yuk, Gonzoe and Tech N9ne)ripped it. Kalifornia Gz(features E40 and Crooked I) will get a pass and so will Regime Mob(features Amp-Pachino and Chino Nino) and On The Block(features Jacka and Lil Cyco). Domination makes a bangin' appearance on Dont Be Scared and joins Yuk on the diss track Stunt 211, where Yuk and Domo tear g-unit a new one. Yuk also disses 50 on What's Beef and American Me is the best song on here. Planet Asia and Monstah Gunjah ripped Heat right along with Yuk and the reggae-inspired Top Shotta is fire. Get Stupid Go Dumb which features Mac Dre(RIP) and Sauce is a crazy joint plus that beat was sick. The album ends of with United Ghettos of America Part II which is superb. The Bad: We Just Wanna Thug(which features Dizzle Don and Nore) is a wack commercial joint plus anytime you feature Nore and Dizzle Don on a track it's bound to be filler. Wet Dreams sucks because even though most of the women Yuk mentions in the song are hot, nobody wants to hear about what you're going to do to them. I Love Dro(which features Bun B) is a bland smoke song plus somebody need to tell that girl on the hook who is talking about weed that she is not funny! The Ugly: Spin & Chop and The Side Show are two terrible commercial blunders that should have never made it to disc and Suga Daddy has the dumbest hook you've heard in a while. Bottom Line: while Vol. 2 of United Ghettos Of America is not better than the first, It is good follow up and I hope that they keep it real instead of keeping it commercial.     Customer Reviews for United Ghettos Of America Vol 2 Cd      solid 2nd "Ghetto's" compilation from Yuk      Rating:      Yukmouth brings the ghettos of America together one more time. All in all it is better than his first United Ghettos compilation (3.5 stars maybe just 3), not strong but not weak, has good songs, has bad songs, most are average or slightly better. If you are a fan of his pick it up, features about 40 rappers all together on the whole album besides himself, some are known and good, while others are basically unknown, and some are just plain horrible. The production is a little lacking on this as well keeeping it from a full 4 star rating. Yuk is on 16 of the 19 songs and has one solo. It has 5 ok songs and 4 I skip, with the other 10 being good. Production is decent, handled by Nan Dogg (5 songs), Mike Dean does 4, and Don Will, John Benny, J-Classic, MoBetta, Mark Sparks, E-Say, Shatiek all do 1 and Amin Johnson does 2. A good one hto have for fans of his only. #2 - 7.5 (gonzoe, Tech N9ne, Yukmouth, Krizz Kaliko) #3 - 7.5 (E-40, Crooked I, Yukmouth, Nat'e) #4 - 8 (Noreaga, Dizzle Don & Yukmouth) #5 - 7.5 (Yukmouth f/ Bun B & Nat'e --- about smoking good `Dro) #6 - 9.5 (Domination - my favorite on here ) #7 - 7.5 (Yukmouth, Dru Down, Kieu, Nat'e) #8 - 6 (Luni Coleone, I-Rocc, Yukmouth, Monsta Ganjah) #9 - 8 (Yukmouth, Chino Nino, Young Noble of Outlawz, C-Bo) #10 - 4.5 (Ms. Toi, Numskull of Luniz, Nyce) #11 - 8.5 (C-Bo, Yukmouth, Richie Rich, Nat'e) #12 - 3 Yukmouth, Gangsta Girl, Brando) #13 - 7 (Menace Clan - pretty good acapella freestyle from one of their members in jail) #14 - 6.5 (Chino Nino {who sucks}, Ampichino, Yukmouth, Nate da Nut) #15 - 8.5 (Domination, yukmouth - getting on 50 Cent) #16 - 9 (Yukmouth, The Jacker of Mob Figgaz, Cyco, Benjilino) #17 - 8 (Yukmouth solo - about Yuk's dreams he has of females in the game) #18 - 8.5 (Planet Asia, Monsta Ganjah, Yukmouth) #19 - 6.5 (Sauce, Yukmouth, Mac Dre (R.I.P.)) #20 - 9 (Tha Realest, Dru Down, C-Bo, 151, Spice 1, Eastwood, Roscoe, Yukmouth) J.
