The third solo release, In A Major Way, from the self-proclaimed "Ambassator of the Bay" delivers a complete project with mainstream success.  E-40 speaks over "Intro" as he gives the ingredients contained in this album that ties with "Da Bumble" both produced by Sam Bostic & Mike Mosley with speed variences.  The objective is definately arranged for the trunk as 40 Water flows without any hooks, chorus or breaks, but his original multi-styled flow with charisma and energy as quoted "...he say / she say / b*tch, that away..."  "Sideways" featuring B-Legit & Mac Shon is for the riders hitting the strip or the block as E and B share verses highlighted by the catchy hook.  "...big timer, timer / 40 water..." "Sprinkle Me" featuring Suga T had all the perfect elements with a memerable hook, perfect delivery and production makes this a highlight with a mainstream feel.  Taking it to the streets with all star support from 2Pac, Mac Mall & Spice 1 on "Dusted 'N' Disgusted" as each shined with their signature flow.  Performed as a letter to a friend in jail "1-Luv" featuring Leviti poses the reality of simply living and E-40 did not miss a beat.  Relating to getting high and getting drunk for serious smokers and drinkers, "Smoke 'N' Drank", was written with just that in mind.  "Dey Ain't No" is dark with an incessant deep bass enriched by a piano silhouette to give this LP a more street feel.  Speaking about the street games, E-40 spits on how to invest into businesses for a legal hustle on "Fed" featuring Suga T.  Sharing verses with B-Legit & Celly Cel representing the "H.I. Double L." side of Vallejo, California on how they live.  "It's All Bad" is about life in the ghetto and changing times comparing it to excerpts found in the Bible.  This song was enlighened at the conclusion with a surprise guest by E-40's son with a solid performance.  The "Outro" only left the listener craving another dosage of this sixteen track album.
