B-Legit the Savage - Tryin' to Get a Buck

B-legit is probably a rapper because he's E-40's cousin. That said, he does a formidable job, with smooth lyrics and flow. You know what to expect after seeing the cover of this CD, with a couple of guys with masks on their faces reloading a handgun in a store while robbing it. It's more of a gangsta rap album than anything, but B-legit took some extra steps to make it original. Half the album is devoted to weed, while the other half is about drinking. He talks a lot about his childhood and what it was like growing up in the hood. While this album has its strong points, B-legit's simple rhymes may leave some listeners bored very quickly. He isn't really known as a lyricist, but still his rhymes are interesting and usually follow a story line. Overall a pretty good album if you like this kind of gangsta rap. ~ Brad Mills, All Music Guide
