The only times Silkk and company manage to break up the monotony are on songs such as “You Ain’t Gotta Lie to Kick It” and “Me and You.” The latter finds Silkk letting his personal friends know that just because he’s a high profile rapper, you don’t have to brag about what you don’t have to be down with him. Big Ed and Mia X drop admirable verses as well and, as usual, they are the highlights (as well as the perfect production), but Silkk is, nonetheless, tolerable. “Me and You,” however, is a dedication to Silkk’s fallen brother who was murdered a few years prior to this album’s release. It’s a touching, heartfelt song and Silkk expresses himself beautifully. It’s one of the rare moments on the album where there isn’t an over-reliance on cliché thug themes and sexually explicit rhymes to push the rapping forward.
No, Charge It 2 da Game is nothing truly spectacular in terms of originality or ingenuity, but it’s one of No Limit’s most consistent albums yet. Right up there with C-Murder’s Life or Death and Bossalinie, Master P’s Ghetto D and Tru’s Tru 2 da Game, Silkk’s Charge It 2 da Game is again, one of the most important records in No Limit history. Silkk is a mediocre rapper at best, and the guests are usually better MCs than he is, but the production is perfect and this is one of the rare moments where one of No Limit’s LPs doesn’t feel like cheap product.
