This cd is G but Killa Kali is much better in my opinion. not to say there aren't good songs on this cd, becasue there are, but Killa Kali is more solid. buy that if you dont have it, or buy this if you do.

I want to straighten out some things. I like rappers who stray away from commercial tracks. Anytime a rapper tries their hands at commercial joints they end up sounding out of their element. Case in point with Celly Cel. Celly Cel's Killa Kali was a classic because it was raw G s***. This album has some commercial songs that sound forced and not only that but Celly switched up his style and he almost sounds like E-40. The Good: Why Must I Be Like That with E-40 is great kick off track and Dont Wanna See Us with San Quinn, Messy Marv, Black Nate and Kaveo is also a standout. The Tupac-inspired Get A Real Job(that hook was off of 2pac's Strictly For My N****z) is another notable cut that talks about the industry. C-Bo steals the show on Ride as the two rip it on a hard edged beat and is that a shot a Snoop Dogg I heard?. It Goin Down Remix with Mack10, E-40, B-Legit and Rappin 4tay is great but I still like the original off of Killa Kali though. All I Know, The G Filez, You Neva Know and The Bay is Celly Cel at his best. Honorable mentions: Pop The Trunk(feat UGK) and Get It Crackin. The Bad: Can I Kick It featuring Keek Da Sneak and Young Mugzi is awkward to say the least. Sick Wid It Party is a pitiful attempt at a club record plus people havent been saying aint no party like a... since Reeboks had pumps with their sneakers. Every Day Is A Weekend is another skippable track that borders on boring.
The Ugly: F*** Tha World with Silkk The Shocker is the worst track on here hands down. In The Traffic with Mac Reese and Chill is so bad its laughable and The Function with E-40 and Shae Jones was a horrible track to end the album with. Bottom Line: Besides a couple of missteps, Celly Cel's The G Filez is still worth checking out. The production for the most part was good and Celly Cel's rhymes were on point(with a few exceptions of course). The thing I respect about Celly Cel is at least he throws you a gem here and there in his songs so his album are not just mindless gangsta tunes. I'll give him credit for that. This album is a highlight album of 1998 regardless.
