No thanks
Shut up bitch
I will be checkin’ 4 THIS!!!!
Damn…i thought that Droop-E,Chippa$$,Nef,Cousin Fik and OMB Peezy would of been featured. Im still tuning in regardless,40 and Beela stay with the slapps
Hope they got production from The Mekanix and DJFreshX3 on this joint,wish they would of just had them produce the whole project
THE “Boy” single is fire.
I been listening to E40 & the Click since 1990.Dude
changed the game.For those
who really know,Studio-Tone was responsible for the best shit they ever put out.They could have even got with a true Vallejo genius behind the boards-Khayree.Should have limited the cameos.Thats where 40 fucks up.He lets everyone get on,even if its to much!
Keep it clean mane-Like You
first did it.Flamboyant style!
Word! Studio-Tone is the truth! Criminally ubderrated producer.
Tone Capone and studio tone are 2 diff cats right? Bay areas always had that dope shit from al eaton ant banks ea ski n cmt mike Moseley nick peace June j.stalin traxamillion and tha mekanix etc etc. people don’t know how deep that bay sound is. Big ups to that 415 shit. Oh and this shits gonna go..
+1
Nice!
I thought for a second that was a young Gucci on the cover
why would gucci mane be on the cover???
I like that album cover. No expensive cars or other material things for a change, nice. Just two friends going way back.
They actually family I believe 1st cousins
ooooweee, this album knocks…e40 got style for days…b legit always underrated
Dope album cover.. Sounds like some tight ass production too.. Not the biggest 40 fan, but homie sure knows how to stay relevant.
It’s hard to believe it took them this forever to make an album. Anyhow it was worth it, this is bangin from start to finish and I really really love it though I only heard it once. Will play it again right NOW. Who else do you know rapping for such a ling time and still making quality true to them music
Hell nah, I listened to this album and the beats sound like they were made by a 12 year old with his first copy of Fruity Loops. Every song is just 808 kick, some annoying hi-hats, 1 note melody with some wack synth and that cheap clap that you get stock in Fruity Loops.
E-40 – if your reading – stop using those lame Fruity Loops producers and step up your game and get you some Mike will made it or even better – Dj Mustard.
you dont think he cant get a mike will made it beat?? or a mustard beat??? come on now
you must not have listened to 40 over the past 5 years…he uses young cats, up and coming producers and rappers to give them some shine. 40 doesnt even make his own songs on his solo cds. he has one of his young cats do the hook and a verse and all 40 has to do is lay down his verse and the song is done
well im gonna need him to fall back off whoever produced this album. this is by far the most basement studio, wack ass production and beats ive heard since the early 90s when all the hood cats were rappers and had studios in their basements. this must be his 12-13 yr old grand son or something hes trying to put on.
Mike Will & Mustard??? Hell nah….
Lol I listened to this three times already and it bangs like a mf. beats are “happy”. Like it’s spring or summer already. I love it, don’t make me come back with an opinion after the fourth listen. And look at E-40 and B-Legit rappin in 2018 like it’s nothing. Beasts. And I’m a fan since “hope i don’t go back” and “ghetto smile”. Seriously thank you for this album.
Who in the fuuuck listens to this garbage unless your from the bay?
Dude just makes the same songs over and over never says anything new really. I dont get why people like E-40 with his goofy ass voice and his nerdy ass glasses.
I guess fat black dudes are the gangsta m.o in Vallejo
You’re probably white…therefore your opinion on all things hip hop are irrelevant
I’m white, and I bought Down and Dirty on cassette a few days before it came out. So although Hoffa’s comment was ignorant, so was yours. 2 idiotic statements left in a row don’t make a right.
Album got some bangers on it but I wish they would of included more of that old Mob sound they known for. I like they can spit of the newer sounds but for this being their first collaboration album outside The click albums and the compilations it would of been nice to hear them blend in that old sinister mob trademark sound. Nonetheless dope project looking forward to the next Click album. 40 is one of my favorites, glad him and B-Legit put this out
I heard the first three songs my neck hurt! Lmao R.I.P Kenneth Ponder. My big cousin turned me on to 40 water my all time number 1 and Ghost #2 stay diverse and sucka free!
Whole album hard. I agree was hoping for some Mike Mosley, Sam Bostic, bosko and studio ton neats but this album definately didnt dissapoint. Gonna burn some Blackwater and blast this on my way to work! BIATCH!
