1. I'm Singlin' (8 / 10)
The first song sounds like it would have been on the Click's "Money & Muscle", especially with the female adding into the chorus. It's a great start to the album, with straight Sic Wid It-type beats and quality flows. Legit's on the first verse, and comes pretty hard. I think hes matured a bit in his rhyming skills since we last saw him in "Hempin'". The song also features Ric Roc and Harm who both come clean.. Good song. I think it should have possibly been the single.
2. If You Don't Know Me (7 / 10)
The first thing you hear is the funky beat, with a bunch of piano-type songs (But something different..) strung in with the slump. Legit is pretty right-on with his lyrics on the beat, and sounds alright. Yountie and Freddy Fingers, of the Beat It Boys are on the chorus - "If you dont know, youll never know me (ohh), but im'a let all you ladies know right now.. Legitamite B could be your homie, but if you run up you know its all goin' down.". 7 of 10.
3. Whatcha Talkin' (7 / 10)
The first single on the CD - or at least the first radio played song. I remember when I first heard it, I thought it was pretty tight. You can immediately tell the beat is a Sic Wid It-only type beat. No one else would fucc with something like this. The chorus is alright but can sound weird sometimes, Dunno. Pretty sure Harm is on that. Legit still comes cool though, I swear his skills have gone ^^^.
4. Bag Habit (7 / 10)
Another wacky beat. A little more fast paced this time. Well, a lot more fast paced... Legit and Ric Roc are one this one and I'm feelin' it a good amount. Chorus tells what it's all about - "You could tell a bad bitch by the bag you know, hoppin out the car.. etc". Not one to skip since It's pretty short anyway. 7.
5. 1 Dame (8 / 10)
In all of Legit's Cd's, he seems to always mix in a few lighter sounding songs. Something like a dance beat but not quite. You could compare this one to "7 Much" on E-40's Grit & Grind. The lyrics are pretty standard, about bitches "lovin' it" and "Knowin' B-Legit's name". He definitely got some skills on the flow on this one though, I think the track is pretty good. A bit better than the last couple.
6. Luv 2 Get High (7 / 10)
Straight weed song of the CD. At first I didn't think it was too cool, but when the chorus came in I got into it, and now I can listen to it a lot. The beat is kinda weird, but it has some cool sound effects in the background that fit well. Bosko was on the beat. There are a couple other rappers on the song but I dont know who they are. (does not say anywhere in the CD Case either.) But they come hard. I almost gave this one an 8 because of the sicc chorus but I think it could have been a bit better.
7. Fo' Real (5 / 10)
Not feelin' it too much. Its featuring Yountie who has a verse (which is tight) and the chorus (which sucks). The beat is wack, it doesnt bump very hard at all besides a medium-length bassline. I thought Legit's verse was the best, and it was pretty average for Legit. So yeah, it gets what it deserves, a mediocre score.
8. So International (9 / 10)
YES! Back on track with tha beats! And guess who's featured... the one and only Too Short, and he comes hard as fuck with his verses. This song uses a "back and forth" rappin' method.. Legit and Shorty switch back and forth a lot. Which is perfect in conjunction with the chorus which I find TIGHT. It's a high pitched woman singin that shit mixed in with something like a Chinese beat sound, LOL! It's unique, and just like B-Legit to pull something like this off. One of my favorite songs on the CD. Don't skip this one.
9. What U Thought (6 / 10)
Beat is average. Legit comes like he usually does, which is sicc. I'm a Suga Free fan, guy is funny as fuck when he's on the mic, and I'm feelin' his verse. I think Bosko could have done a better job on the beat though - it sounds kinda weird with those shuffling sounds. Not a bad song but not one of the big hitters...
10. Play 2 Much (7 / 10)
Another one of them fast paced songs, with a tight beat. I'm really liking those "horn/beep" type things that come in after a bit of Legit's verse. The chorus is tight too - talkin' about bitches that better be playin' in the back seat (OR GET THE FUCC OUT!). Legit also talking about some situations he's been in with some hoes... I've never heard Ray J before this song, but he comes pretty cool; a good voice for the song & the beat. Not a skipper.. good shit.
11. Straight Fool (9 / 10)
Can someone say... Automatic!? Cause thats what the beat sounds like! Heh not quite, but it's pretty similar. You can tell the same guy mixed it. But this song is tighhhhht... both Legit and 40 come sicc as fuck. How can E-40 not come clean though? And I think Legit sounds better on this song than any of the previous ones - although that might be because Forty wata is on the track with him, and they always go so well together. "If you gon' talk the talk, you gotta walk the walk!".. "I let my nuts hang over my shoulder... etc... Givin' orders from Novascotia!".. Bunch of tight lines from both of these artists... BUMP THIS ONE LOUD.
12. Keep It Movin' (6 / 10)
I like the flows and the rhythm on this track but the beat is kinda weird. It sounds all digital and shit - not like a rap beat. More like it would fit good on a Techno CD or something. It really takes the track down, although B still has some cool lyrics... 2nd verse is definitely the best, he shows off his skills... Skip it if you want to hear better songs.
13. We Get Dough (8 / 10)
I like this! Harm comes out first and comes with a cool verse. The beat is crazy but tight! I think I hear some fuckin' triangle's (the instrument) going off in there, LOL! It's kinda a dance beat too, I could see it being played at a club. The track is about, well, Getting Money. Buying shit. And getting more dough. Not much more to say about this track besides that its a pretty good song.
14. Feelin' (8 / 10)
The beats on this CD are all so different and so alike at the same time. This one sounds like it could be totally mainstream, and something from an older Sic Wid It Cd. It's a cool end to the CD. The chorus has the same guy, doin' almost the same lines as an Older E-40 song (I swear it's on the tip of my fuccing tongue but i cant place it exactly on which song it is..).. "Can Ya feel me main?" I feel ya mang.. "Can ya feeeel me maiin?". Come on.. you all know what I'm talking about.. someone help me out! Heh.. anyway. Good last song to legit's newest CD.
I think this is a quality CD put out by one of Vallejo's finest. B-Legit has come a long way in his lyrical and rhyming skills since "Tryin' To Get A Buck", and even since "Hempin'". Some of the beats are wack, but for the most part, I like them I agree with the general consensus going around that they do sound a little more mainstream than usual. Most of the songs on this are worth listening to. My personal favorite tracks are So International (W/ Too Short) and Straight Fool (W/ E-40). I think the one with Short could possibly get radio play if it is advertised enough and put out there. So final word If you are a B-Legit fan, or even a west coast rap fan in general, this CD is worth picking up!
