Cali Brehs...Tell Me Why Ya'll Like E-40 ?

[old boy]

not from cali but 40 water is my guy

people always dis his flow but to me its top notch. if i had to check off all the attributes of a dope emcee e-40 comes correct in all categories. his voice, demeanor and game spittin makes him one of the best ever

definitely one of the most original emcees i've ever heard

 

[tuckgod]

IIn order to get 40, you just had to be there(west/southwest).....mainly

This.

I didn't understand E-40 until I was able to chill out West and get faded with the homies while they listened to it.

I hated that shyt at first, but after awhile something clicked, and all that shyt made sense.

Now he's one of my personal favorites.

Sounds bout right.I never stomped those areas, so I was only giving examples of what I bared witness to.

40 got states!

KC is like fam to the Bay look up T9X early shyt like Mitch Bade or Jellysickle Fat Tone too ..

 

[R-Typ3]

aight...but he's an international celeb...so his skills aren't just confined to one area....lets take bone thugs for example....when they first dropped a lot of kats ain't know what the fukk they was talkin bout outside of Ohio...but they fukks with them cuz the music was quality...eventually we picked up on the way they flow and fell in love....

40 spit that weird slang and i didn't get it...but the music didn't catch on to me either....in the interview he was butt hurt cuz Biggie rated him a 0 out of 10 as a quality rapper...and they was gonna kill Big for that....like i said was Big even lyin tho?...

40 himself wasn't trippin and didn't know nothin til the phone call.. it was the youngstas affiliated with him buggin out...You'll notice he doesn't like talkin about that shyt a whole lot because people have had the wrong idea behind that story for years...Gotta love Rap Media don't we *sheesh*

I.didnt get my deal based on a 16 measure verse/Damn rite ever since 2pac passed away the west coast ain't been eatin right/If he were alive I'd ask him for his opination and if he were me what would he do in this typea situation/Would he start by takin off on these journalists talkin bout what they think assassinatin muthafukkas characters wit all this bad ink??/How you gon' have me at top 50 lyricists nikka i'm a hogg/That's why I don't fukk wit Blaze I fukks wit Murda Dog

yeah when they asked 40 about it he wasnt puffin his chest out, dissin biggie or nothin. he played the whole thing down on some humble shyt

 

[R-Typ3]

Das EFX is from Virginia tho

As for OP, quit bullshyttin. You can’t give his catalog an honest listen with all your pettiness. I just think it’s funny that he’s obviously got you feeling some type of way for you to go out and make a stupid ass thread like this.

Vallejo represent, shout out to 40-watter

edit: -iggity

They met at VA State but Drayz is from Jerz and Skoob is from Crown Heights Bklyn

 

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

i didn't call them regional tho...

I mentioned them cuz they had a funny style people either liked or hated, same as 40

cant say that either.

its more like the majority loved das efx style & most of the industry mimicked it.

they shouldn't be mentioned in here.

never been a fan of Kiss...and i could easily take out 40 name and slap kiss' name in there....but thats for another thread....

compare e-40 to jadakiss breh.

and I like e-40, but its easy to hate him when posting here.

horrible comparison.​

 

[OnlyInCalifornia]

I like E-40 because he is unique and has his own style. Something that has been missing from Hip Hop for along time. Since regional sounds are basically gone and people will copy others style/flows if it suits them, he stands out even more. Plus if you listen to what he says in a lot of his older music, it really is true 'hustler' music.

I understand why people would be turned off by his voice but there is and will always be only one E-40. Being unique used to count for something

it's not though. nobody in Cali gives a fukk about jadakiss. judging from coli, it's the same with e-40 on the east.

If you appreciate Bun B, 8Ball, Scarface etc you would appreciate 40's music. He just has a unique flow

my nikka, there was just a thread here debating their style...i'm not getting into a back and forth with you. i said what i said, replace it with whoever you feel fits

 

[Creasy]

You gots to bounce to his music, its party music, Bay area shyt at its finest, if this come on in the function u gon do ya thing

ive seen west coasters give props to jada on plenty occasions.

I'm sure jada isn't a hot commodity out there at all, but the way youre painting it is a bit much. or maybe youre under-estimating how irrelevant e-40 is on the east.

a thread debating their style 26 years later.​

[MeachTheMonster]
