"If I could I would rate this album 4.5 starts, since 5 means a perfect album. Unlike many double CD albums, SouthWest Riders is an album packed with many many tight songs while the minority is weak songs. Out of 28 songs maybe 5or 6 aren't that worth listening to. The rest is just bangin'! This album is a compliation combining rappers from the West and The South. Awsome rappers like D-Shot, W.C., UGK, Eightball, MJG, 3X Krazy, Celly Cel, Tela, A-1, Mossie, E-40, B-Legit, Richie Rich and many mnay more drop some real bombs. This album is all hardcore, no RnB flava on it and it gives as some real gangsta rap to ride to. I'd like to thank Sick Wid it Record for this album."

"E-40 and B-Legit collaborated with some of the heavyhitters of the industry with the height of Sick Wid It Records success by the release of Southwest Riders. The new recruits, A-1, started the entire compilation off with the strong Mob style track "Represent" and newcomer to the majors Komacauszy on "Evil Ways" featuring The Lost Mob. W.C. gave his best on the C-walking, gangster "Walk With Me". The other half of the group Illegal, Mr. Malik (Hershey Loc) flowed well over "Big Bank". "...No need for the ambulance..." when 3X Krazy's fast orthodox flow on "Call The Coroner". Suga T. & Conscious Daughters are the only females to represent well on "Bad Bitches". Tela made it clear with his player type lyrics on "Dis Year". The standout for disc #2 is "Hiside" by UGK with a slow riding grooves with a funky guitar lick. Memphis' groups Three 6 Mafia and Eightball & MJG put a good foot forward. There's thirty tracks on here and there's a lot on here to check out. Almost a classic compilation failed where some artists didn't give that one needed good song for this album. This release is Sick Wid It."
