Hot Sauce Committee Part 2 starts off like any post Paul's Boutique Beastie Boys album. 4 tracks in and you start to get that feeling, that little tingle that reverberates all through you that yip, you might just be listening to the best hip hop album of the year. And just like every Beastie Boys album that doesn't involve The Dust Brothers or Rick Rubin (that's DJ Double R for you older ones), you hit the middle portion and watch as your expectations crumble away. Once again, the hip hop veterans have somehow fucked everything up as, just like always, everything goes southwards come the dying moments of the album. It's happened before as I've already stated and to be honest we should all be used to this by now. But the first half of the Hot Sauce is just so fuckin' sexy that it makes the downfall so much worse and infinitely more noticeable. It seems that the boys (middle aged men now) just don't have it in them to sustain themselves for a whole album anymore.
But to reiterate the important stuff: Hot Sauce Committee Part 2 is a HUGE step up from To The 5 Boroughs and probably about on par with Hello Nasty. But sure, compare this to The Mix Up, because that's fuckin' smart

This has the perfect amount of cowbell. Glad someone finally got it right...

This is really the best thing they've done in a long while. Sure they've made good songs in the past and the Mix-Up was pretty good, but this is the first consistently good record they've done in a while. Make Some Noise hits with Check Your Head-era funk, Too Many Rappers slams hard and everything else is great as well. This is Check Your Head revisited and more. 4.5

Honestly, I thought this album was boring. There were way to many filler tracks, and around 60% of it was a little bland. This wasn't really a bad release, just nothing really stood out for most of it.

The beats on this remind me of Tobacco but groovy as hell.

Best album since Check Your Head and it completely kills The Mix-Up and To The 5 Boroughs. They still got it. "Lee Majors Come Again" and "Say It" = automatic fire
