when i first heard grit and grind, i wasnt feeling it myself, but over time, it became one of my favorite 40 cd's. lyrically he kills it front to finish, it just doesnt hav ethat mob sound your accustomed to hearing from an e-40 cd. but its actually a brilliant piece. the slap, falling rain, its a mans game, lifestyles, end of the world, til the dawn... just a ridiculous amount of blaps. that afro-man shit is trash, thats the only thing that keeps it behind federal and in a major way for me. at least its the very last song so you dont have to skip.
