"An amazing album...one of the best of any genre. DEEP EastBay Cali Street Funk. The beats are sick, production super tight, E-40 at the top of his, or anyone else's, game. He's spittin, as usual, on totally another level...flows like water while stayin hard as nails and hot as fire...too fast only if you're listenin too slow. Listen to this one and then listen again. This is deep."

"Not many people out here in Massachusetts like Earl 'E-40' Stevens, and that's their loss! The man is an incredible MC, one of the greatest to grace a mic, and he's in top form on this banger. The production is funky, and e-40 is relentless with his lyrics. I recommend this not only to gangsta rap fans, but fans of real hip hop, too. Give it a few listens, even if you are Joe Art School Backpack, this stuff will grow on you."

Cause He Can!

"Why does E-40 keep making these sick albums? Cause He Can! Man I tell ya, this is one of E-40's best albums, maybe even THEE best. Not too many artists can match E-40's style, as a matter of fact no one can spit it like Charlie Hu$tle. Every song on this CD is tight the beats are crazy, this is definitly the best production ever on an E-40 album. And of course 40-Watta comes with his ever-so-sick, one-of-a-kind rapping style. For all of you who say that E-40 raps too fast, he's not rappin' too fast yall just listenin' too slow (that's real). He even puts the lyrics in the CD booklet for all you squares out there. Like I was saying all the tracks are sick and there's no skits, so you don't have to skip anything. The songs that really stand out are; L.I.Q., ...They Nose, Seasoned, Earl That's Yo' Life, Rules & Regulations, Big Ballin' With My Homies, and Ghetto Celebrity. There are also a lot of great guest appearances by Jayo Felony, C-Bo, Sauce Money, Fat Joe, Cash Money Millionairs, and of course The Click. I'm from the Bay Area and that's probably why I like E-40 so much, but I like all kinds of rap. It just seems to me that people are always saying that there are too many copy cats in the rap game. Well, if you want something original E-40 is your man!"
