After the unimpressive first volume, no one was begging for another dig through
Kool Keith's discarded tracks.
Lost Masters, Vol. 2 lays out a claustrophobic set of demos and leftovers with little care for flow, but as with nearly all his B-list releases, there's a couple numbers here that make this worth a look for fanatics. Here,
Keith at his most inspired is
Keith at his horniest. "She Likes Your Sex" recalls the best bedroom R&B on
Keith's extremely limited Personal Album, while the very silly "Varoom" brings pervert reminders of his porno-core classic Sex Style. Other numbers of note are the amusing diss-fest "Iraqi Verse," which has absolutely nothing to do with Iraq, and "Keep on Jumpin," an infectious club track that could have been a single had
KutMasta Kurt gotten a hold of it. ~ David Jeffries
