Inspectah Deck - The Resident Patient 2

If you enjoyed the first blistering installment of Original Clan member Inspectah Deck's Resident Patient series, get ready for a second round that will leave you as equally pleased as the first. Rarely do mixtapes ever eclipse the sad destiny of being more than just, well, something that you can listen to for an hour or so, then you lose them somewhere in ya basement or something. Insert Deck's Resident Patient tape, a disc that you'll covet more than your old Illmatic cassette tape. The first one was a great effort; featuring new material from Deck in the form of songs and beats it was a Wu head's wet dream. Deck flexed his lyrical chops as usual but it was his lineup of impressive production work that dazzled me. It isn't a surprise that he's a worthy producer, it's a surprise it's taken him so long to really put together a project that puts his beatmaking skills on full display because quite a few of his beats to me are pretty much top notch. I guess when most of the shit you've dropped prior to this is a group effort you just have to roll with what other people want. How can you argue about putting a bunch of your beats on a project when you got gus like the Rza, 4th Disciple, True Master, Mathematics, Bronze Nazereth, etc., etc., waiting on deck to slide you some of their work? Still, if anything comes out of these tapes I hope it's a new confidence for Deck to keep on putting his beats out there. He is seminally talented and I enjoy his stuff a lot. But back to the topic at hand; The Resident Patient 2 is full of great production, some of which does belong to Deck, other parts belonging to a host of new talent he's letting jump in the game. Adding a nice compliment to the beats are Deck's newest protege's "The House Gang", who return briefly for the 2nd edition of Deck's new solo project. While a few of them do at times show flashes of real promise, most of their verses are pretty forgettable, just like on the first tape. Deck handles the majority of the wordplay this time however. The Resident Patient 2 is a great look and although this isn't the exact retail version I don't think the official will be too different and yield too many surprises. Really good to see that some of the original 9 members are still hungry and are still putting out good music.
