Jayo Felony is a San Diego Crip and he truly represents on this album, this time going independent, he comes through with 19 tracks, and does NOT dissapoint. Not every single track is "banging" on this album, but the beat and lyrical content of other cuts make up for them.
My favorites tracks are C-Walk & Skip, Please Believe it (with E-40), She Loves Me, Game Round (with Dulou Gang), Trued Up remix, and Hurt That Nigga (with Soopafly).
There's about 3 or 4 tracks that contain disses towards other rappers, like Jay-Z, Snoop, Beanie Sigel, Kokane, and even DJ Clue. Too bad Jayo's words fail to really "hurt" the people he's dissing [....]
But anyways, this album wil be enjoyed by any Westcoast rap fan, or anybody sporting the blue rag.

After 2 years since "Underground" dropped, Bullet Loco is back and off of Def Jam since they screwed him on his release of "Hotta then Fish Grease" (which he stole most of the masters and put them on this album anyway). I was glad to hear he left Def Jam cause they screw all artist from the west (Warren G, Richie Rich, South Central Cartel,). He has a long message typed in the book where he tells his side of the story and disses Snoop, Jay-Z, and especially Def Jam (it is hard to read the print and it has many typos). The album has 16 songs, 2 are classics, 1 I skip (which is the only song I skip on his 4 albums), 3 are ok, 2 are almost a classic and the rest are good. He has dis songs geared at Snoop & Jay-Z on here too. Prodcution is great and bad, depending on the track and is done by a lot of different people. Caviar did 3, Ty Fyfee & DJ Silk each do 2, Rick Rock, Battlecat, K-Def, Soopafly, Ecay Uno and 4 others I never heard of all do 1 song. Guests are on about half the songs. A good album to have for his fans.

Actually a great album, I was expecting a better album. Before I purchased the album, I had only heard C-Walk And Skip and She Loves Me, and I was expecting amazing beats throughout the CD. Jayo's flow and lyrics are above standard, but the beats aren't amazing. Perhaps one of the best parts is that in the album's jacket Bullet Loco breaks down everything that's going on in his life. Overall, a good purchase. Here's hoping for better beats next time around.

Jayo Felony finally equals his first hometown album "take a ride" with "crip hop"...and yes Bullet Loco a.k.a..jayo felony is from SAN DIEGO...To all you jayo fans...this album is no dissapointment...!!

Jayo finally releases Crip Hop. I've been wating since 2000 when it was originally called Hotta Than Fish Grease. Anywayz this album is blazin'. Songs such as One Shot Kill, True'd Up Remix, Swing, Hotta Than Fish Grease, You A Character, and Hurt That N****, are my favorites. I think Hurt That N**** is the best track on there. There's Soopafly producing and rapping as well on the track. I'll tell ya this, if you are big Jay-Z or Snoop Dogg fan don't buy it cause he has words for them. Peace

Jayo Felony exploded onto the scene with his '98 debut, "Whatcha Gonna Do?" His Def-Jam album was very tight, but Jayo never really got to do his thing. His next CD was released underground, and is coincidently titled "Underground." This cd had only 10 songs on it, but Jayo shined on em all.

His new CD released on his label LOCO Records is called "Crip Hop." This cd shines in every way possible. Give it up to my man Jayo for giving his fans another great album. The "Trued Up Remix" is the best song because he blasts Jay-Z on here like no other. Better than Nas can ever hope to do. "One Shot Kill" and "Please Believe It" are some other certified bangers to bump to in the lowrida.

Hopefully, Jayo will keep putting out quality albums because so far, he hasn't disappointed. Go Jayo!

I don't think but know that Bullet put it down for what he believes. I have all his albums will continue supporting him. He tries to put it down for San Diego and others step on his toes but still walks on those Simps and cut throats. You best believe he has our support here S.E.S.D, the Coast, Skyline, Lincoln, North Park, Normal Heights, South, and the whole 619 & 858. Stop hating and respect the crown, N-Hood all around 4D's. Drama Loc, RIP OG So Fine.

When I heard that Jayo left Def Jam, I was happy for the guy because now he had more creative freedom to do what he wants and represent to the fullest. Then Crip Hop dropped, and i was confused instantly: His lyrics are firing on all cylinders here, but the majority of the beats are wack (except for "Hotta Than Fishgrease" and "True'd Up"). Although there aren't too many guests here (which is a really good thing), only E-40 provides a rap worth listening to. This disc is neck-deep in flaws, starting as soon as the listener takes a look at the packaging. The font used is hard to read, and there are probably more stupid typos here than on any other cd i've ever seen. I tried to read the intro he wrote in the liner notes, and it was like trying to figure out a 1st grader's essay. Labeling certain tracks "Snoop Diss" or "Jay-Z diss" makes this album less an official release and more of a collectors-only bootleg, at best.

But in the end, it IS the music that matters, and unfortunately, this poorly planned CD can't live up to Jayo's classic WHATCHA GONNA DO? Guess those A&R guys might've done him some good after all. Final thought: After listening to this, one can't help but wonder if CRIP HOP could've been saved if it had been released on Def Jam?

real disappointed in the track trued up. if hes so crip whys he got some slob on the anthem yeelling "we stay flamed up/ banged up/ brite red laces/ flamed up chucks/ its piru till we die blood......"?? cant bump this crusin thru the neighborhood. other than that MOST of the rest is good.

I'll make this short and sweeat,this is a tight album, lots of jazzy beats, and orchestral/movie soundtrack type beats.his rapping style reminds me a lot of Pharoh Monch form Organized Confusion. e40 makes an appearence. only 2 skits on the album, I like that.
And to the ... reviewer who gave it one star, he's not form SF he's form San Diego.
