One of
E-40
's spottier efforts,
Loyalty and Betrayal
boasts a good number of highlights, along with some tracks that simply don't work well, and practically every track features a guest. The highlights include the
Eightball
and
Jazze Pha
collaboration,
"Ya Blind"
; the
Nate Dogg
Battlecat
"Nah, Nah..."
; and the
Click
"Pop Ya Collar."
Clearly not afraid to experiment with different styles and collaborators,
is at his most unpredictable on
. It doesn't make for one of his better albums, though it does make for an interesting one, so long as you don't mind skipping past the duds to find the highlights. ~ Jason Birchmeier
