| | Album Notes and Credits |
Notes & Personnel Info |  | Hot Boys: Juvenile, B.G., Lil' Wayne, Young Turk. | | Additional personnel: Big Tymers. | | Hot Boys: B.G., Lil Wayne, Juvenile, Young Turk. | | Additional personnel: Big Tymers. | | Audio Mixers: Tim LeBlanc; Mannie Fresh. | | Recording information: Cash Money Studios. | | Unknown Contributor Roles: Juvenile; B.G.; Turk. | | Guerrilla Warfare presents Cash Money Records at its finest. The Hot Boys feature Juvenile, B.G., Lil' Wayne, and Turk rhyming over phenomenal bounce beats provided by Mannie Fresh. Following the success of Juvenile's 400 Degreez and B.G.'s Chopper City in the Ghetto, Guerrilla Warfare highlighted a fully realized regional sound, indigenous to New Orleans. While Mannie Fresh effectively puts a gangsta lean on electro booty bass, the MCs sport accents dipped deep in a Cajun frying pan. As "I Need a Hot Girl" (featuring Big Tymers) and "We on Fire" made their mark on the airwaves, album tracks such as "Get Out of the Way," "Ridin," and "Clear the Set" decorated the streets. With something for everyone not dissuaded by a parental advisory, Guerrilla Warfare has rap classic written all over it. ~ Robert Gabriel | | Hot off the success of both Juvenile and B.G., Cash Money/Universal Records released the sophomore album from Hot Boys, GUERRILLA WARFARE. Featuring Juvenile, Young Turk, B.G., and Lil Wayne, these four MCs from New Orleans are pushing the southern-flavored hip-hop scene to new levels. The lead single, "We on Fire" is a blazing head-nodder that sounds like a perfect club joint. Packed with plenty of street bounce, you're sure to hear the track blasting from someone's Jeep. | | Some of the other songs to check out are "Help," a track that is dominated by B.G.; "Get Out tha Way," with its unique synth flavorings; and "Clear the Set." There are also solo tracks from Juvenile ("You Dig"), Young Turk ("Bout Whatever"), and Lil Wayne ("Clear tha Set"). Fans of the Big Tymers should check out "I Need a Hot Girl." |

- 4 1/2 mics (out of 5)
- "...[Hot Boys] gives Southern bounce an artistic shot in the arm....achieves landmark immortality with its blazing soundtracks to a hard-knock existence....They rewrite the game over a steady stream of crushing beats and polyrhythmic concepts..." Rap Pages (10/99, pp.143-4)
