Beyond his drug-game fixation, B-Legit is as witty as ever and hosts some notable guests: rappers Snoop Dogg, Kurupt, Mack 10, Lil' Keke, and Mac Shawn, and E-40, as well as producers Ant Banks, Studio Ton, Daz Dillinger, Meech Wells, Tone Capone, and Bosko. Hempin' Ain't Easy is thus a solid West Coast release with an all-star lineup, not quite as inspired as his Hemp Museum album from a year earlier but solid nonetheless and certainly worthwhile for fans of Bay Area rap. ~ Jason Birchmeier | | Since his introduction to hip-hop, E-40 has sprinkled the music industry with the Bay Area's hottest rappers. One of those proteges is B-Legit, who returns with his West Coast street tactics on HEMPIN' AIN'T EASY. | | On songs such as "Rap Star" and "Destiny," Legit flosses his usual slow-rolling flow and schools listeners on what it is to be a player in the rap game. He is joined by heavy hitters such as Snoop Dogg on "The Game Is Cold" and Mack 10 on "Where The Gangstas At?" for some Cali-flavored gems. HEMPIN' AIN'T EASY is definitely of the gansta rap genre, but can be enjoyed by anyone who likes to hear the funk. |
