Bumbulatin!!, October 12, 2000
Oh boy!! This is why I love the West Coast. THe ones with skills come wit it and Fonzarelli is included in that group. My favorite track is "Behind Gates"becuase my dawg Cube is in it. Then there is "Ya Blind" "Doin The Fool" and "Clown WIt It". 40 water definitely brings the skills to the table. This album is not meant to grab new fans because a lot of people can't underdig the slanguage that 40 spits. However, fans of 40 should definitely get this. EVen if you're not a fan, free your mind and give it a try. Ya underdig?

A Kid's Review
This cd is tight to def! It will definately knock hard in ya trunk. E Feeze is at his best here. His pimpish flow sprinkled over his crackalatin beats makes this album truly a work of art. The hardest tracks are: #2(Loayality and Betrayal) #4(Ya Blind) #5 (Sinasta Mob) and my favorite #12 (Behind Gates)with my dogg Ice Cube. This is a must have if you're a fan of the west coast. OH BOY!!! PLEEZEBELEAVEIT!!!!!!

Prime Example of Bay Area, Better Yet, West Coast Rap: Str8 Lace Game By E, January 17, 2008
In 2000, E-40 drops yet another west coast masterpiece, his 6th album (including 1994 EP The Mailman). Once again, E-40 hits you with some great slanguage ("Flamboastin") and has some of the best west coast producers to lace him with cool G-Funk and Mobb Music. The beats on this album are some of the best out the west in 2000. Bosko, Battlecat, Tone Capone, Blaqtoven, DJ Silk, Rick Rock, Jazze Pha, and SMK produce some of the highest quality cuts for E to spit his game over. "Lace Me Up" has that vintage west coast G-Funk updated for the 21st century. He and sister Suga-T lace ya with real game; it seems like a cool sequel to 1995's "Sprinkle Me." "N---a Sh--" features Mack 10, D-Shot, Suga-T, and B-Legit and is a hard lowrider ready mobb joint. The beat simply slaps with that Bosko funk perfect to c-walk or b-walk to. Levitti provides one of his cool, vintage moany hook vocals. A nice gangsta joint is "Like A Jungle" featuring another lowrider Bosko beat, and Bosko's slick vocorder and Kokane's moany hook vocals, a cool mobb joint. "Pop Ya Collar" definitely bangs with some deep-groove, cool-breezy g-funk (cool funk samples). The Click (40 Water, Suga T, B-Legit, D-Shot) deliver a fun, party starting track here. "Flamboastin'" has a bangin' heavy beat and features Baby of Cash Money Records and floss hard, and 40 really busts out his slanguage like crazy here. "Nah Nah..." w/ Nate Dogg's cool hook vocals is a west caost classic. The beat is smooth Battlecat L.A. style G-Funk (one of his best beats ever), which E-40 raps over as good as he does to the bay funk. It is a song dealing with the drama with the opposite sex. This song got so much play in my senior year in high school 1999-2000. E flows real good over southern style beats too! He kills it on "Clown Wit It" f/ Mystikal. Bosko did a great job creating a pulsating southern beat, and the 2's different rap styles fit the beat perfectly. Jazze Pha creates a cool G-Funk smoker on Ya Blind, and he, E-40, Eightball, Too Short school ya about scandalous women. This album definitely has a lot going for it. I feel that this is one of his best albums, and he has had some real classics from the 1990's. I like this one better than the ones that followed, and better than 1999's Charlie Hustle: The Blueprint Of A Self-Made Millionaire, and maybe even more than 1998's double banger The Element If Surprise. Soak up some real game and get laced by E.
