"This is B.G.'S second album released outside of Cash Money(ironically, he left that label after a money dispute with his father-figure and CEO Brian "Baby" Williams). B.G. sticks to the formula that has served him so well on all of his other albums on this cut as well. Unfortunately, this one isn't a seller, mostly because of the fact that there is no killer single ala "Cash Money is An Army" or " Bling Bling". Strangely enough, that proves to be a plus for the album, as there is a certain coherence here that was missing on his most famous "Chopper City In The Ghetto".

Gizzle spits fire rhymes on tracks like "I want it", " Like that", and "Walk with me", and these cuts really highlight the album. Unfortunately, this album has its share of filler as well, namely the song with TI and the song with Yin Yang. On alot of the other tracks, Gizzle spends valuable studio time doing what was already done on 2003's "Livin Legend" : Name dropping Baby. While this was interesting last year, one almost hopes that B.G. would let the past be the past and return to making the real hip-hop we his fans have come to expect of him."
