 40 Water Is Fun To Listen To Apr 28, 2006
40 Water is an OG in the rap game, and it shows in many ways. He has been rapping since the 80's; he has several hit records, and he is the godfather of that slang you hear everyone biting off of today. This album is loaded with that flow we love from 40, humorous, rapid, and firey. While this album has a few weak beats and some filler, there is definitley some classic material here. Bosko laces some phat, old-school-meets-new- school G-Funk beats in the bangers "All Tha Time" and "Doin' Dirt Bad" (both w/ B-Legit), both perfect for lowriding. The hard core track "Money Scheme" shows Jayo Felony and 40 killin' the mic with their unique flows. "Hope I Don't Go Back" is a timeless G-Funk classic. Here, E shows his vulnerable side contemplating what he may have to return to if his success ran out. "Ballin' Outta Control" is a classic re-release dug up from his classic 1994 EP The Mail Man. "My Hoodlums and Thugz" is a fun bouncy G-Funk selection with Mack 10 and WC. Another classic is "From The Ground Up" (w/ Too $hort and K-Ci and JoJo), where Short and E reminisce about blowin' up in the game with phat hooks all over a smokin' Ant Banks beat. If it weren't for the filler, this one would get 5 stars and rank up there near In a Major Way.

Least Expected Aug 08, 2005
E-40's double disc release, The Element Of Surprise, is a 24-track release worthy of the West Coast bragging rights. 40-Water didn't stray from his buck fifty flow, game spitting nor his slang infested rhymes. He merely intensified it as what's featured on "$999,999 + $1 = A Mealticket". The title track is almost too good to be true as he being the album off with low-keyed, bass heavy introduction as is the even slower "Dump, Bust, Blast". 40 Fonzarelli gets personal on the mainstream "Hope I Don't Go Back" and "Zoom". Speaking of "Personal" featuring D-Shot, Suga T., The Mossie & LeVitti it is a standout for this entire release where everyone gave an A+ performance. "It's On, On Sight" featuring C-Bo was on target with a gangster mentality of retaliation. A collaboration between Charlie Hustle & Master P on "Back Against The Wall". "To The Beat" produced by Studio Ton had everything necessary for a solid song with lyrics like "...I don't need no iron, I'm already creased / I don't need no money, I got mouthpiece..." Missing, was more production by longtime producer Studio Ton to bridge the gap between a good album and a classic album. Only real E-40 and Sick Wid' It fans would know the difference. But on a good note, to end with "One More Gen" as a good conclusion for an element of a good album.

WORTH THE HIGH PRICE!!! Jun 21, 2002
There are very little disappointments on this double disc, which is quite a feat! This album has a very high replay rate, meaning you'll wanna listen to it again and again. I love this album. I think it would be very funny to hear Kool Keith and E 40 make an album together.
