Birdman was never a lyrical genius or anything of that sort, but he meshed well with Wayne on these songs on this album. This album was extremely slept on to me in many ways. *Birdman and Lil Wayne- Like Father, Like Son (2006) references are everywhere and you won't find many of them on his previous albums, thus why I said that.

Unrelated, it seems this is the album that he apparently became a 'blood'.

Aside from 'Tha Mobb', songs like 'Receipt', 'Money On My Mind', and 'Hustler Muzik' truly drove home the new feel and sound for Wayne. The Young Money Era was just starting slowly at this point, as Wayne was putting the pieces together. Production on this one was very good, with a few missed swings and about 2 or 3 songs that didn't overall hit the mark, but this album is near flawless and remains one of the best things to drop from Cash Money. As I mentioned earlier, when talking Tha Carter 1, I don't think there is any Wayne song greater than 'BM JR', but he comes very very close to beating it with 'Tha Mobb' on C2. This album is Wayne spitting some of his best lyrics, in what I like to consider his album prime. Many consider this to be Wayne's finest hour and I believe it to be his 2nd best album period.

2 for one reason, let that reason be 'How Should I Ride'. 2 essentially is a re-release with just a few extra songs added and some taken off, and if you only listen to Vol. Check 'Millionaire Dream', 'Ballin', and 'Cutlass, Monte Carlo's and Regals' from Vol 1. 1 stunna and boy was he entertaining while also a bit suspect. Before he became the Birdman, he was Beatrice, the no. To this very day, I don't know many, if any who could drop game on tracks like Baby and these two albums are like national treasures for hilarious Baby verses. Mannie Fresh was comedic on purpose, while Baby would drop game on them in the most hilarious ways possible. Make no mistake about it, Baby was a comedic genius, especially unintentionally with his verses.

However, where he was slept on at was in his musical comedic value. No, he was never a great lyricist, a wordsmith, hell half the time what he said didn't even rhyme. Baby, who is the CEO of Cash Money was extremely slept on in the late 90's.
