E-40 Album: “Loyalty and Betrayal”

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!!!!!!

5 star album none the less, some of his best verses, one of my fav tracks is To Whom it May Concern...listen to that one carefully he explains some interesting shit on the industry

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.

this album is one that i wasnt to happy wit. dont get me wrong e is still spittn game,but i feel this album had way too many guests. guests arent a bad thing, but if your goin to have guests, have guests that complement your style not belittle. e-40 has so much game and talent he dosnt need any guests. e keep doin what u do playa,but next time get some tighter guests. get this if u a e-40 fan if not dont, cause you probably wont get the game thats comin out of this.

This album is hard! E-40 always come sic wit it. If you don't got it, ya betta git it. It reminds me of his (my fav.)"I a major way" album. Sluppin' from intro till outro. He is the bay area's finnest. Please belave it!
