Second studio album by The Click, group of Vallejo, Bay Area. The production is realized by Studio Ton, Mike Mosley, Kevin Gardner, Roger Troutman, and Tone Capone, in addiction to some live instrumentation. Guests are Cavio, T-Pup, Studio Ton, and Levitti. All members of the Click family participate and each has a solo joint: E-40 and B-Legit are the main and most renowned protagonists, D-Shot and Suga-T get an important part in the project.
Lyrically, the four are committed to writing simple thug lyrics concerning materialism, women, alcohol, drugs, various gangsterisms. The production chosen by Studio Ton & Co. reflects the simplicity of lyricism: cheap and poor rhythms, mobb samples, strident g-funk synths, some dark vibes, scarce drums. If "Hurricane" is the symbolic song of the disc, the most representative one, in a certain sense, is the following: accessible, funky, lazy rhythm, decent and lazy rap, lazy hook, it's all lazy, effortless, too relaxed. Even without paying too much attention, Suga-T's "If I Took Your Boyfriend" stands out in the negative as the worst song of the edition, what has the girl done here? On one of the weakest rhythms of the record, credited to Tone Capone, she spits with a poor style and her rnb hook is shoddy.
The whole album has this feeling from the first few minutes, some laid-back tunes feel like bland and scarce versions of Snoop tracks: E-40 didn't really want to put it out and it feels, he performs on autopilot and is still the best in this tape, despite the finest solo song being performed by B-Legit ("We Don't F Wit' Dat"). Released by Sick Wid It and Jive, the album achieved considerable commercial success, reaching the top 25 in the pop chart, the third place among the rap releases and being certified gold.
Rating: 6/10.
