1) "Intro" ft. Fed-X
A quick movie clip then Spade & Crash talk about getting something and Fed-X says not to worry. Then the track comes in and C-Bo and Fed-X rip up the mic. Mark Sparks lays down a solid beat to get the album started with. It's a coo song overall, I'm feeling it. A nice beginning to the album.

2) "If U Don't Know About Me"
The first solo song on the album slaps! Blaq Thoven does the beat and lays down a knoccer. C-Bo comes on the mic with that same kind of style that he had on West Coast Mafia. He just talks about who he is for people who don't know who he is. A hard track overall, I'm feeling it.

3) "I Like Gangsta Shit" ft. Gotti, Eastwood
Rhythm D lays down a solid beat, not the best on the album, but it fits the feel of the song. C-Bo starts it off with a coo verse. Gotti has the second verse and spits an ok verse. Eastwood comes next and spits a hard verse. Eastwood was a good addition to this song. It could have done without Gotti, but it's a coo song overall, I'm feeling it.

4) "Hustlin'" ft. 40 Glocc, Young Meek, Crunch
Blaq Thoven lays down a coo beat, but it sounds really familiar, I think from West Coast Mafia, but remixed a little. C-Bo starts the song off with a coo verse, but not his best on the album. I like the hook the most out of anything on this song. 40 Glocc spits a hard verse. Young Meek comes alright on his verse. Crunch does the hook with some nice vocals that I'm feeling. A good song that seems to grow on me the more I listen to it.

5) "We Come From the Streets"
A decent beat by Mark Sparks. Another solo song, but I'm not really feeling this song as much as the other solo songs. I don't like the production that much and I'm not feeling C-Bo's delivery that much on this song. I don't like the hook either. Just skip this one, I'm not feeling one bit.

6) "C-Bo & The Realest" ft. The Realest
Mark Sparks lays down a fast paced beat for this song. C-Bo starts it off with a coo verse. The Realest comes hard as fuck on his verse. I like his verse more than C-Bo's. A coo track overall, although I'm feeling The Realest more than C-Bo on his own album.

7) "Goin Hard" ft. Killa Tay, Gotti
Bosko lays down a coo beat, but not the best on the album. C-Bo starts it off with a coo verse. Gotti has the second verse and spits an ok flow. Killa Tay spits the best verse of the three. A decent track at best. A good Killa Tay verse wasted.

8) "What U Want Nigga?"
A nice hard track right here. The beat by Mobetta is hard an on point. C-Bo rips the mic with those hard nosed lyrics on the mic. This is my favorite solo song right here. I like his delivery and the lyrics he puts down. A solid song overall, I'm feeling it.

9) "WCM Radio A.M." (skit)
Just a short skit. Crash talking some about West Coast Mafia Records.

10) "Don't Want It" ft. Vitnomb, Lil' Bo, Thug Misses
Mark Sparks lays down a tight ass beat for this song. It just gets your head moving to the beat as C-Bo starts the song off with a tight verse. Lil' Bo comes coo on his verse also, but I'm not feeling Thug Misses at all, she really ruins this song. It's a tight ass song besides the Thug Misses verse. Bump it loud!

11) "Know Where to Find Me" ft. Crunch
A little weird beat for this song by Mark Sparks and Blaq Thoven. C-Bo handles the verses while Crunch does the hook with some nice vocals. A tight song overall, although it takes awhile to get used to the beat.

12) "So Fresh" ft. Yukmouth, 151
A coo laid back beat by Nandog. Three tight ass verses for this song. C-Bo has the first, Yukmouth has the second and 151 finishes off the song with a hard verse of his own. A tight ass song from these three. Yukmouth has the best verse of the three, but all three come hard on the mic. One of my favorite songs on the album, I'm feeling it to the fullest.

13) "I'm A..." ft. 151
Another interesting beat, this time by Jellyroll. It has a good feel to it though once you get used to it. C-Bo starts it off with a coo verse that fits well with the beat. 151 comes hard on this song too. These two really work well together, a collabo album would suit the two nicely. A tight song overall.

14) "Box U Out!" ft. 151, KJ, Truck
Blaq Thoven does the production for this song and lays down a coo beat. C-Bo starts it off again with a coo laid back type of verse. 151 has the second verse and spits some good lyrics. KJ has the third verse and spits some coo flows. Truck does the hook with her sweet female vocals. A tight song overall, I'm feeling it.

15) "WCM Radio P.M." (skit)
Another skit with Crash about West Coast Mafia.

16) "I Got Mine" ft. Vitnomb, Gotti, Phatts Bossi, Mad Max
Mark Sparks and Blaq Thoven lay down a tight ass beat. The hook by C-Bo is terrible, I'm not feeling it one bit. The verses are pretty good for the most part, but I don't think this track should have made the album. I'm not feeling more things than I am feeling. Just skip this one.

17) "Weekends" ft. Bosko
Bosko lays down a coo beat with some nice background instruments to it. C-Bo lays down some good lyrics in a laid back type of song. He just talks about kicking back and keeping it gangsta. Some nice vocals on the hook by Bosko to tie it all together. A tight song overall, one of my favorites on the album.

18) "Been Through so Much" ft. Nicole
Another solid beat by Mark Sparks with some help on the guitar by Ryan Crosby. This is one of those slow sentimental tracks. C-Bo talks about the things he's been through in life. Nicole lays down some ok vocals on the hook, but I think they could have been better. A decent song overall, but I think it could have been done without.

19) "Roll Wit Me" ft. Jobi, Erica
A nice rebound with this song. Blaq Thoven brings back a little old school feel with this beat. C-Bo rips it up on his verse. Erica and Jobi lay down the nice vocals on the hook. C-Bo shoots some tight flows on the mic. A good overall, I'm feeling it to the fullest.

20) "Bitch Nigga" (skit)
Crash and Spade taking some stuff from a guy who whines the whole way through the track until they get tired of hearing him and blast him. Kinda funny if you listen to it the whole way through.

21) "Bitch Niggaz" ft. Lil' Cyco
A coo song to finish the album with. Rhythm D lays down a coo old school type of beat. C-Bo and Cyco come clean on the mic, although I'm feeling C-Bo a lot more than Cyco. Pretty self explanitory what they're talking about on this one. A coo song to finish the album with.

Overall this album wasn't nearly as good as West Coast Mafia or some of his older albums, but I was feeling it for the most part. The production is solid on just about every track. C-Bo keeps up good mic work through the whole album. The features needed to be cut back though, although most of them were pretty good. If you're a C-Bo fan then I'm sure you'll be feeling this album. A solid album overall, although not close to being his best album.

Overall Rating = 4/5

I liked it but to me its not as good as WCM or Enemy of the State or even Life as a Rider. Bo came sick as always but there were too many features (especially of people who Im not particularly interested in hearing) and the beats were not slappin throughout the cd. Still a good cd especially in you a Bo fan. Id give it a 3/5.

A tight ass song from these three. Yukmouth has the best verse of the three, but all three come hard on the mic. One of my favorite songs on the album, I'm feeling it to the fullest.
C-Bo is one of the best northern cali rappers of all time, but this song shows me that times are really changing. I mean, all I can think about while Bo is spitting his verse is Yuk coming in. I cant fucking wait to hear Yuk's shit every time on this song... his verse is so unbelievably tight, that I dont know how hes not already considered the best rapper out of the west by everyone. I mean DAAYYYYUUMM...

But yeah, good review, i'd give it a 4/5 as well.

sorry man, it just pisses me off when people are sayin that a guy who has put out so many albums over 10 years and is a definite OG in the rap game has "fallen off" its just BS to me, hes still comin hard. this was his best album since enemy of the state. he "returned" to his older style with this album. much better, gangsta shit, all around great CD. i love it
