You wanna go cruisin' around at night? Pop this in. You wanna get a party started? Pop this in. You wanna kick back and throw down some beers? Pop this in. This is a feel-good gangsta party album. Ant Banks lays some of the tightest West Coast grooves ever heard. His high-end brand of Oakland funk is comparable to Too $hort's music (Banks usually does some of $hort's production), but it has an element all its own. Jazzy licks and deep beats dominate the day, and the result is a supremely bounceable feel. The bump-n-ride of the title track is excellent, the Spice 1 collabo ("2 Kill a G") is one of his more memorable performances, and the hilarity of "The Drunken Fool" is unmatched by anyone else on the West Coast, save for maybe some of DJ Quik's lyrical quips. Ant Banks and Quik are comparable in that they both loooove rappin' about their drinking ability and sexual prowess. Funny, entertaining, bumpin'... you couldn't ask for a better album to get your boogie on with.

I could listen to this classic over and over and never get sick of it. This is what you call a classic rap album. If you didnt pick this cd up back in the mid 90s, then you were missin out. Ant banks comes through on every song on here. No songs where you have to skip. Pretty much every song is a 5 outta 5 stars! QUIT SLEEPIN!!!!!
