All Money Is Legal [Enhanced] [Explicit Lyrics] [Extra tracks]

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Haters take note. Despite having easy access to ghostwriter extraordinaire Jay-Z on All Money Is Legal, Amil pens some rugged rhymes that would make Lil' Kim proud. Most would recognize Amil's distinctive little-girl flow from her cameo on Jay-Z's "Can I Get A...." Interestingly, despite the album's title, much of the subject matter doesn't really revolve around materialism. In fact, Amil reveals herself to be a staunch street-styled feminist. The release opens up with the autobiographical "Smile 4 Me," where she reflects on what it was like feeding her child while on welfare, as suicidal thoughts crept into her head. "I Got That" (featuring Destiny Child's Beyonce) may read like just another moola-centric song but she's actually declaring her financial independence from men. In fact, most of Amil's lyrics deserve repeated listens. All Money Is Legal's beats are all over the place, as she sings over loud guitars on "Get Down" and complements R&B crooner Carl Thomas over spacey beats on "Quarrels." The album's finest moment comes on "Any Day," where Amil prefers to stay loyal to an incarcerated hubby ("...ain't nobody tapping this, I'd rather tap my own / watching tapes we made while I'm resting alone"). Foxy Brown fans desperately need to buy this album and take notes. --Dalton Higgins

4 da fam best song of 2000.......2005-11-02

my god... i never will forget a unique song like this,also album is not so bad...come back amil i miss you and that cute voice.Who can forget a song like 4 da fam tha tha rock tha tha tha rock.History in the makeing.

All Money Isn't Legal.......2004-11-06

First off all the haters need to Shut Up!!!. Amil is nice , iight. She has a sexy sexy voice , damn!. I don't know who's voice is sexier her's or Angie Martinez. Anyway , this album is dope from start to finish. punchlines that I remember "Hold FRANKLINS like Aretha" , "Catch me in the drop playin Speedy Gonzales" , & "Body like a Cola Bottle mami". The Roc should have never let Amil go. And back in the concert at MSG The Roc wants to diss her during a song & say "Amil ... Gone!". That's wrong , even though I am a Jay Z fan , still yo. Anyway peep her New Freestyle it's iLL & look out for her 2nd album. Wait a minute I'm rambling , let me get back to this album. Ok ...
1) Smile 4 Me - a real song about the day by day struggle.
2) I Got That - Dope song with Beyonce , nice beat.
3) Get Down - an iight song , the guitars are cool.
4) Y'all Dead Wrong - song is slow paced , letting the haters know that they are dead wrong!!!
5) Heard It All - blah blah Jay-Z is wack on this song , Amil saves him.
6) Quarrels - yo this is my Favorite song , deep deep , meaningful song about the devil & how he wants you to do bad , but you must resist him.
"I see your eye watching me on them dollar bills".
7) Girlfriend - this song is something like Aaliyah's
"If Your Girl Only Knew".
8) All Money Is Legal - All Money Isn't Legal
9) That's Right - Sick beat , Jay's flow is better on this song.
10) Anyday - Dope Track
11) Raw - Amil spittin Fire
12) No 1 Can Compare - Love Song
13) 4 Da Fam - My 2nd Fav song , Jay-Z , Memphis Bleek , & Beanie are on this track.

No One Can Compare To A.M.I.L.!.......2002-02-14

I see why Amil teamed up with Beyounce, her group's hit,Independent Women, goes well with "I Got That" and other songs on the album. She writes her own raps and tells about her own life, not some made-up one that J or somebody gave her!
She may not be as 'pretty' as you-know-who, but she can definitely hold her own. In response to 'formally,' how can you say that she had whack guest artists and then turn around and say that "4 Da Fam" was the only good song? That's the only song with the guest rappers! I think some people saw a real woman and had to start hatin'.

Zero Stars..................2001-09-05

I will sum it up for all the readers..........

Many things wrong with this LP like: Wack lyrics, Wack Flow, Wack Harmonies, Wack Voice, Wack Looks, Wack Production, Wack Guest rappers, One good song in 4 Da Fam.

It shouldve been Illegal to let this even get cleared for release. Shouldve never left the studio floor.

However this is not the worst album ive heard but it is doggone close.

DO NOT BUY THIS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE! You will waste money and will be disappointed.

Dont Say I didnt warn ya.

amil pack it in.......2001-08-24

we waited 2 years for this, amil, sole, and queen pen need to pack it in, they only got by because of their looks and by giving the producers, and ceo's sexual favors.amil was tight on can i, and 12 o clock but on her on she can't rap. this proves not all rappers should go mainstream.
