RTJ2 is a follow up to RTJ.
Not every album/thing by the same artist is counted as a follow up.

"El-P and Killer Mike individually are both fantastic and no surprise this album is. To me it's the true essence of Hip Hop, lyrical wizardry and some great beat production by El-P that occasionally sounds old School east coast style, El-P does more than deliver beats his flow and wordplay is equally good... Killer Mike delivers some great Southern accented (that'd be South US, obviously) rhymes whilst El-P has a New Yorker accent and they both seem to bounce off each other seamlessly and it makes for fresh introspective.Recommended if you like pure Hip hop all about the rhymes and music, no women/money crap delivered. "

My Amazon review. 5/5.
I forgot to say how much I loved the zombie hands mixed in with the old skool hip hop gold chain in that ironic way, the clever thing is the other zombie hand isn't even holding a gun and doesn't even have an arm. Design is on some real ill tumblr shit.

"Today Artist X released her first new album since her last album, which is actually a follow-up to the album before that, as well as a sequel to her first album, which was a follow-up to all the albums she'd listened to before turning 20."

It’s important to note that RTJ2 is an album—it’s on a real label and you can pay money to own it. And the transition from mixtape-to-album explains every progression El-P and Killer Mike have made in the past year.
The first album was on a real label and you can pay money to own it.

― my jaw left (Hurting 2), Wednesday, 29 October 2014 14:19 (nine years ago) link
Zack De La Rocha on "Close Your Eyes (And Count to Fuck)" before the real thing comes through to spit some goofy, try-hard "Bombtrack"-style aggro braggadocio that doubles as the best verse of his life.
wow, can't tell if this is trying to damn with faint praise or not.

from the fact review:
Is there anyone on earth right now who sounds like they’re having a better time than El-P and Killer Mike? And if so, how about that for a turnaround?
a turnaround for... anyone on earth?

I am sometimes amazed by how many rappers (*cough* white rappers) really emulate El-P or Aesop Rock's flows.

Aesop Rock is a dude whose flow I could never take. Should I reconsider?
