Review
Onyx burst onto the scene with Bacdafucup, a volatile rap album that
embraced everything about thug life and told the world to slam. Unfortunately,
later releases failed to live up to the lofty heights of Bacdafucup, and Onyx
faded back as members evacuated and/or opted to experiment with acting and solo
careers. After four years, a re-formed Onyx returned with Bacdafucup, Pt. II, an
album that looks to once again grasp the hardcore rap title they helped invent.
Fredro and Sticky Fingaz sound as dirty as ever as they boast grandiose flows
concerning the game, the relevance of the bald legacy, and life over the
group's tumultuous career. The question is, does Bacdafucup, Pt. II live up to
its title? While this is not as revolutionary or edgy as its predecessor, this
is surely Onyx's triumphant return. They have conformed to many of the expected
trends of hip-hop, including Dr. Dre-like beats and DMX-esque rants, yet there
is no mistaking the openly hostile intentions of one of rap's most cutting-edge
trios. There is much here to recall Onyx's early days, including two of the
album's best tracks, “Bring 'Em out Dead” and “Slam Harder,” which may
appear to be last-ditch retreads of past hits but are their own entities
entirely. The group even treads into waters one wouldn't expect, referring to
the 9/11 tragedy with more daring terms then some may like, yet the powerful
thoughts delivered on “Feel Me” prove that Onyx is very serious about their
terrorist opinions. Onyx may not be as offensive or aggressive as they once
were, but Bacdafucup, Pt. II is easily the group's best outing since their
hip-hop debut. Jason D. Taylor – Allmusic.com
