Critical reception
Allmusic - "...when the thick-tongued rapper cuts "Check It Out" with E-40 and tha Dogg Pound's Kurupt, he demonstrates his true skills..."
The Source (12/96, p.135) - "...The Hemp Museum may be the lick if you understand the science behind the Sick Wid It sound, or know the Vallejo flavor..."
Vibe (2/97, p.105) - "...B's badass Bay Area baritone is as distinguishable as a Picasso brush stroke..."
