I been a 40 fan from the early 90s and bought the CD to support the Bay knowing I wasn't really feeling the songs from the previews that I heard. I am happy dude is getting his props, but this album isn't even in his top 5, IMO. I guess times change and artists got to adapt, but all this nonstop "hyphy" shit isn't my cup of tea at all. Rick Rock's beats are getting really repetitive, Lil Jon, Bosko & Droop-E's tracks were alright to awful, at least we got Studio Ton back for one song. After "Grit & Grind", shit hasn't been the same since. Oh well. Still, props to 40.
