Rolling Stone’s 200 Best Hip-Hop Albums of All-Time (Finally Rich, #32)
“‘Almighty So 2’ is this big all the way through. Keef stays restless, indulging wild thoughts and building them out to feature-length productions.” – Pitchfork
“The most striking element of ‘Almighty So 2,’ and Chief Keef’s career at this moment, is his emotional progression.” – Rolling Stone
“Eleven years later, his long-teased sequel, ‘Almighty So 2’ delivers with the immediacy of the first — but it is markedly different. Keef has never sounded more polished, more professional — but he stays true to himself.” – Associated Press
“There’s no denying the influence of Keef’s menacing production, straightforward verses, and early D.I.Y. rap ethos on the generation of hip-hop artists that has followed.” – Pitchfork
“The influence and staying power of Chief Keef really cannot be overstated.” – The FADER
“There is still nothing that feels like ‘Love Sosa,’ the breakout single from a then 17-year-old Chief Keef, from his debut album, Finally Rich. The Chicago rapper’s melodic, hard-nosed anthem shook the foundation of hip-hop. The kids were taking control in a way that the genre had never seen.” – Rolling Stone
