5.0 out of 5 stars Welcome to Tha Hall Of Game! (4 and 1/2 stars), July 19, 2007

Most people say that E-40 never topped In A Major Way but I beg to differ. He not only topped it with this album, he made it a distant memory. I loved In A Major Way but lets be real. How many of you remember it after hearing this album? Exactly. The album starts off with Record Haters where E-40 disses the pants off Rasheed Wallace and AZ. I like Az but he was out of line dissing 40 water and how is Rasheed Wallace dissing anybody? Anybody who heard him rap before knows that he shouldnt be within 3 point distance of a microphone(Im talking Shaquille O Neal wack). Rappers Ball with Too Short and K-Ci is a classic joint. 2pac(RIP) and B-Legit join E-40 on the spectacular Million Dollar Spot. Ring It featuring Spice 1 and Keek Da Sneak is another classic joint and why this song was never an anthem out here still bothers me. E-40 also has you covered on the positive tip with The Story and Things'll Never Change(which beautifully samples Bruce Hornsby's The Way It Is). Some people think I Wanna Thank You with Suga T is corny but is still a highlight track in my opinion. Circumstances is another bangin track that features The Luniz, T-Pup, Celly Cel and Kokane. The only tracks I couldnt feel is My Drinking Club, Keep Pimpin and Growing Up(he could have left the kid who was rapping offbeat of that track you know). The rest of the album is still noteworthy. Bottom Line: E-40's Tha Hall Of Game is his best work and is definetely a highlight album of 1996. This album came out at a time when you can expect most album that come out to be good. Boy do I miss those days. Anyway E-40 put a lot effort into this album and it paid off. Standout tracks: RECORD HATERS, RAPPERS BALL, MILLION DOLLAR SPOT, THE STORY, RING IT, I LIKE WHAT YOU DO TO ME, THINGS'LL NEVER CHANGE, CIRCUMSTANCES and SMEBBIN.

5.0 out of 5 stars Back In The Day, September 15, 2003

Back in the day you got classic after classic. This is just one of them. Still though E-40's new music is great but not this great if you know what I mean. This is laid back westcoast music at some of it's best. Bay-Area has many talented artirst and if you're into west coast rap E-40 is one of the most important to get. I'll admit this ain't 40's best, but it's far from his worst and it does deserves five stars even though it's more like 4.5.
Definitely check this out if you're interested in some west coast talent.
Also check out music by Too Short, South Central Cartel, Havoc & Prodeje, B-Legit, Richie Rich, The Click, Celly Cel.. oh my God so many talents that never get the props they deserve. I think it's time now! Get this for your collection.

One Of the Best. People knock him for his own vernacular, his style, But he's A Mack, E-40 40 FONZ, ... MY FAVORITE ON THIS CD is Million Dollar Spot with His Cousin B-LEGIT , And Homie 'Pac. My first 40' cd. I appreciate the songs, especially his heartbreaking some things will never change which sounds just like pacs changes. I also love his Diss against Rasheed Wallace. (who hated on him). Good Music.
