Sophomore success
Critics trashed this album when it came out. Too polished, overproduced, not like down and dirty.........blah blah blah.
This is a great album that showcases their growth and success. Everybody really does a good job on this album. This second album has more great songs than their third Album "money and muscle, and better performances, and more mature than Down and Dirty. Definite satisfaction. Take the down and dirty album and add about million dollars worth of production value and you get this album. The group probably won't make a fourth album so this is the one everyone will remember.
Be About Yo Paper!!!
Great clazzik s@#t E-40 forty water iz killin em all in the rap world.I love this whole disc a must buy for any serious rap heads.
Tight Production
E-40 is the head of west coast sibling clan THE CLICK. Their 1995 release "Game Related" is a mix of west coast twang and funky productions.
"Wolf Tickets" opens this set. A comical set about peeps talking trash but not being about their business. The drug slang hit "Hurricane" and the ZAPP sampled "Scandalous" were the hit singles and are definitely the catchy hits.
E-40 and B-LEGIT work the drunken craze of the funky "Out my body". B-LEGIT also rocked his solo joint "We dont f*ck wit' dat". Sister SUGA T. gets down and dirty with her call out "If i took your boyfriend" (The much used PRINCE sample)
Other standouts are the gangsta story "Be about your paper" and "Hot ones echo thru the ghetto"
Flawless Album!!!!
This is one of the best albums I have ever heard. E-40 is the best in the group but they all make this album a classic. They all come off slick on the songs with laid-back beats to match. This is straight up one of the best west coast cd's ever made. Buy it now.
E-40 is the tightest but all of em make this a classic
Every song on this album is solid as close to no flaws as possible for any record i have been a fan for years and its good to see that there all still shinin as a group and as solo artists. It would also be tight to see a new records from B-legit,Suga T.,The Mossie,Levitti,and the rest of valley joe giants.IF you like westcoast rap then you gotta have this to be a rap fan, and thats real.
