Despite their similarities, the Cash Money Clique's challenge to Master P's No Limit empire is well founded. Even the Clique's most mundane celebrations of sex, wheels, alcohol, and dollars benefit from sharper, more imaginative production--not to mention occasional flashes of humor. Tha Block Is Hot, which serves as much as a posse showcase as a Lil Wayne statement, is entertaining even when it's just serviceable. Gangsta clichés aside, the disc is marked by a sense of fun strong enough that you may not even roll your eyes at its claim that Cash Money plans to stick around for the year 3000. Let's hope for their sake that they don't base their investment plans on such predictions. --Rickey Wright

I have nuthin but mad love for all them "Hot Boys." Lil' Wayne has mad skills and some of the tightest lyrics I've ever heard. "The Block Is Hot" is real tight and the beat be bumpin. It's cool to see rappers like Lil' Wayne who be representin to da' fullest for all da' peeps from that DIRTY SOUTH!

From the first beats of the intro to the last note of "You Want War" Tha Block is hot will have your head spinnig. It is was without a doubt one of the best albums of the year. It has everything, from hard pumping jams to even a bit of Mardi Gras party music. I strongly reccomend this album to anyone who likes rap music.

5.0 out of 5 stars CMB! CMB! Am I My Brother's Keeper, Am I My......, November 10, 1999

Lil Wayne continues a hot 98-99 seaon for Cash Money Records. After dropping gems on Juvenile's,B.G.'s, and The Hot Boys album, Lil' Wayne presents "The Block Is Hot". If No Limit isn't careful CMB will be taking over the block. Lil Wayne has too many good songs on this one. Most noticeable, "The Block Is Hot", "Loud Pipes", and "High Beamin'". Mannie Fresh is the "Swizz Beats" on his side of town. All the Cash Money Brothers contribute on Lil Wayne's debut. Even the Big Tymers share quality mic time with the Hot Boys this go around. I would suggest to Master P, to a) break Soulja Slim out of jail b) Make sure Beats By The Pound produces EVERY song c) Have Fiend, Macadon, Mia X, Silkk, C-Murder, Snoop and Mystikal on more songs. d) Have Magic, Ghetto Commission, DIG, Popeye, and Lil Italy take a chill pill and give them a rest. e) Release Da 504 Boyz and the Tank Doggs album ASAP.

If these things aren't accomplished be prepared to "Bling Bling" behind Cash Money for the rest of your career. "THE BLOCK IS HOT! "
