Music Videos
Along with singles, music videos were released for the songs "Check It Out" featuring E-40 and Kurupt, and "Ghetto Smile" featuring Daryl Hall. The chorus of Hall's classic song, "Sara Smile" was reworked into "Ghetto Smile". Hall recorded new vocals for the song. The track was produced by Redwine and B-Legit and features guitars by Thaddeus Turner. The song was later used in the 1997 film Dangerous Ground and was released as a single and a music video to promote the film's soundtrack. The music video features the clean version of the song and has B-Legit rapping and Hall and guitarist Turner performing on a separate set interspersed with scenes from the film. ==Critical reception==
Critical reception
AllMusic's Leo Stanley wrote: "when the thick-tongued rapper cuts "Check It Out" with E-40 and Tha Dogg Pound's Kurupt, he demonstrates his true skills". Gabriel Alvarez of Vibe found B-Legit's "badass Bay Area baritone is as distinguishable as a Picasso brush stroke". ==Track listing==
