Amazon.com Despite their similarities, the Cash Money Clique's challenge to Master P's No Limit empire is well founded. Even the Clique's most mundane celebrations of sex, wheels, alcohol, and dollars benefit from sharper, more imaginative production--not to mention occasional flashes of humor. Tha Block Is Hot, which serves as much as a posse showcase as a Lil Wayne statement, is entertaining even when it's just serviceable. Gangsta clichés aside, the disc is marked by a sense of fun strong enough that you may not even roll your eyes at its claim that Cash Money plans to stick around for the year 3000. Let's hope for their sake that they don't base their investment plans on such predictions. --Rickey Wright Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsCMB! CMB! Am I My Brother's Keeper, Am I My...... J. Highsmith | Mitchellville, Maryland United States | 11/10/1999 (5 out of 5 stars) "Lil Wayne continues a hot 98-99 seaon for Cash Money Records. After dropping gems on Juvenile's,B.G.'s, and The Hot Boys album, Lil' Wayne presents "The Block Is Hot". If No Limit isn't careful CMB will be taking over the block. Lil Wayne has too many good songs on this one. Most noticeable, "The Block Is Hot", "Loud Pipes", and "High Beamin'". Mannie Fresh is the "Swizz Beats" on his side of town. All the Cash Money Brothers contribute on Lil Wayne's debut. Even the Big Tymers share quality mic time with the Hot Boys this go around. I would suggest to Master P, to a) break Soulja Slim out of jail b) Make sure Beats By The Pound produces EVERY song c) Have Fiend, Macadon, Mia X, Silkk, C-Murder, Snoop and Mystikal on more songs. d) Have Magic, Ghetto Commission, DIG, Popeye, and Lil Italy take a chill pill and give them a rest. e) Release Da 504 Boyz and the Tank Doggs album ASAP.If these things aren't accomplished be prepared to "Bling Bling" behind Cash Money for the rest of your career. "THE BLOCK IS HOT! "" An artistic statement unlike any other Niles Campanati | 07/17/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "'Citizen Kain', 'Birth Of the Cool', 'The Illiad'; Every so often a piece of artwork comes along that is so powerful, so moving, that it transcends the boundaries of its medium to define its generation. Lil Wayne's 'The Block is hot' is one such masterwork. It is perhaps the most important musical statement of our generation. Its musical landscape is lush, rich, and textured. Its lyrics are a delicate invective. The combined effect is an artistic expression the likes of which very few in the history of mankind have ever achieved. 'The Block is Hot' is no mere collection of singles, nor is it a self-indulged concept album. It is hard to imagine that a composition so finely-crafted was not carefully planned and designed years in advance. With such an album one can, of course, not relish in its entire beauty upon first listen. The music is similar to an orange where one must peel layers before sinking their teeth into the actual substance. What lies beneath the surface is undescribable. It indeed may take several years - if not decades - before this piece of art may truly be appreciated and understood. Finally, Lil Wayne even outdoes himself in what may be called the most epic of songs in the history of recorded media. 'Drop It Like Its Hot' featuring his cohorts of the avant garde, B.G. and Mannie Fresh, takes the listener on a 4 minute journey which, once concluded, leaves them feeling as if they've been bestowed the answer to the meaning of life. The careful listener will note the song's understated beauty. It is as bold as it is subtle." I agree wit Paul Mike | OHIO | 01/16/2000 (1 out of 5 stars) "This album is weak. It has a few decent cuts but most of the songs suck. Mannie Fresh is burnt out now. All of his beats sound the same and they have no pound in the car at all. Don't get Juvenille's new album either its worst than this."
