"This is tough to say, but I think this is best hip-hop record since the first Outkast joint. The Cash Money crew all represents on this one, and they are all at the top of their game. I just couldn't believe how good this was when I first got it. I been down with the HB's for a while, but never thought they could drop something like this. Juvy, BG, Lil Wayne and Turk were just amazing. These brothas were having a great time recording this album, you can just tell. The beats are the best I've heard from Mannie Fresh, and the CMR crew spitted those lyrics like never before. And it's same ole reppin' you love to hear from these playboys.Definite must buy, even if you're normally not down with CMR. I'm telling you playboys and playgirls, this album is hot."
The Hot Boys "Play The Game Raw" and set it "On Fire"

"I was turned on to the Hot Boys by Juve's Ha (Remix) w/Jay-Z and every Hot Boys' affiliated album I've bought since then has been "Off the heeeze" . The Hot Boys present "Guerilla Warfare". It starts off with the usual Big Tymers' antics on the intro and ends with the Hot Boys displaying that they will definitely be a force to be reckoned with in hip hop for years to come. "We On Fire '99" has Juve, B.G., Lil Wayne, and Turk trading lines back and forth like they were in jail freestylin'. "Ridin'" and "Get Out Tha Way" has The Hot Boys warning folks what'll happpen if you get caught in the wrong situation. "Respect My Mind" and "Tuesday & Thursday" also display The Hot Boys in true CMB fashion. B.G.'s "Help" also doesn't disappoint. With Mannie Fresh being able to differentiate beats on each album that CMR releases, The Hot Boys, Big Tymers and any other rappers that CMR may sign will be around for a long time. So if you're not ready to keep up with things on the Hot Boys' side of town, you might want to update your resume."
Fun To Listen To.

"This is the second best Cash Money album I've ever heard next to Juvenile's 400 Degreez which is definetely a 5 Star cd too. The Hot Boys put out an album with like 5 or 6 really strong songs. And as bunch of other average or a little better songs. Not really any horrible songs at all. The Best Songs are the main 4 "I Need A Hot Girl", "We On Fire", "Respect My Mind" & "Tuesday & Thursday". Those 4 songs were the songs I listened to every morning for like months and months. And i have over 200 cd's! So this cd must be good huh? "Ridin'" is another real tight one! Then the other songs all blend in with the rest like "Clear Tha Set" by Lil'Wayne. "Ya Dig" by Juvenile. "Help" by B.G., and "Bout Whatever" by Turk. I Think it's cool that all of them got there own solo songs. "Too Hot" is nice too..along with the rest of the songs. Juvenile, B.G., Turk & Lil'Wayne put out one of the best cd's of '99, and also the best group cd to come out for a long while!It's real good!"

The Hot Boys Are Blazing

"The Hot Boys are blazin in this album with the lyrics of 4 of the greatest young rappers in the game and the beats by the number 1 producer (mannie fresh). Songs like "We On Fire" which the 4 rappers rotate and take turns flowing to this awsome beat, "I Need A Hot Girl" which features the Big Tymers in a platinum number one hit. Pretty much all of the songs on this album are platinum hits. To make it short, go out and buy the cd and TRY to prove me wrong."
