Free Music Review: Sun-splashed Bay Area rap classic! E-40 got style!
Hit: 5 Stars

The album starts off with this introduction over a slower beat, but then moves into the crazy funked out "The Bumble". E-40 rips this track to shreds, and the beat is bananas! Definitely one of the most original beats I've heard in a while. "Sideways" also has a tight bouncy beat, and E-40 and B-Legit trade lines on it with class. Mac-Shawn does the chorus, clever lyricism on here too. "Spittin'" has a heavy, sunny funk beat. E-40 comes with a real nice intro at the beginning, but sounds nice throughout. "Sprinkle Me" is a classic single, with a fun, sunny beat and Suga T (E-40's sister) guests on it. They make a nice sibling team. Sprinkle me mayne! "Dusted And Disgusted" like everyone else says, is a CLASSIC posse cut. It features Tupac, Spice 1 and Mac Mall. The way the beat changes is so dope. E-40 holds his own against three other great emcees. Part of the beat is a nice, laid-back one, and the other is a rough gangsta beat. "One Love" is a nice light-hearted track where 40 gets personal. Great line: "This ain't no happy Shirley Temple talleistic crap/This here is serious, more realistic than radio-shack". Actually sounds like it could've been a huge hit even today. "Smoke And Drink" has more of a Zapp sound to it. E-40 raps really fast on it, but nicely, and the beat has this cool groove to it, and I love the refrain! "They Ain't Know" is a slower song about street life and gettin' money. The lyrics are worth listening to. "Fed" has a GREAT bouncing bass beat, and E-40 rips it, the tune sounds kind of familiar from something else, it's catchy. "H-i-Double-L" is a classic ode to Vallejo featuring B-Legit and Celly Cel who both tear it up along with 40. The beat is nice and sounds like the kind of thing for the car. "Bootsee" is a tight funky track about a busta named "Bootsee". I'm sure you're familiar with someone in real life who fakes and claims to be tough when they're really just fakin' it. "It's All Bad" is a darker track where 40 speaks on various subjects in life. He knows the game well.

Overall if you like Bay Area rap, you probably have this, but if you don't try it. E-40 tears it up everytime he's on the mic on this record, and the beats are amazing.
