Fantastic, Vol. 2 Tracklist
Fantastic, Vol. 2 is the second album from Detroit’s Slum Village, released in 2000. During the time of its release the group was still composed of its earliest members T3, Baatin and Jay Dee.
The album received a great deal of praise. The Phoenix New Times, for example, commented that “(Jay Dee’s) production style has been subtly influencing better-recognized producers for years” and even went as far as to claim that “Slum Village is going to single-handedly save rap music”.

What did J Dilla say about this album?
I always tell people, that whole [Vol. 2] album, beats, rhymes all that shit—from T3 freestyling to me doing them beats in three-four days—people don’t understand that was shit we threw together on some feel-good shit and we said we was gonna do that. We put that shit out in two weeks… We wasn’t thinking about the videos and the critics getting the shit in their hands. We was just making what we feel…
It took about two-three years for the shit to even come out and resurface but by that time the shit we was trying to do was on the radio all day on some R&B shit. Then, we was getting looked at as some R&B shit and I ain’t never read so many crazy ass reviews of muthafuckas not even understanding what we do. It’s crazy.
