Do you know anybody outside the bay who actually listens to Wack ass E40 in real life

[H. Selassie]

I wouldn't understand him if I was a square too

They just don't know breh. In the 90s the South, West, and Midwest were a big musical family.

Cats in the South loved Deathrow, Ice Cube & Mack 10,Too Short & E-40, C-Bo, Bone Thugs, Dayton Family, Do or Die, Twista, etc. The West and Midwest loved Scarface, UGK, DJ Screw,Three 6 Mafia, early No Limit, Eightball & MJG, etc.

That's why so many of these artists stayed collabin' and touring in each other's cities.

Im from St.Louis and I dont know any ni99a that DONT fukk with e4o Fonzarelli aka 40Water

Sick Wid It is a sub-division like Aftermath was/is to Interscope. E-40 is signed to Warner, and has been for a long time. Having a label deal is not independent. In that case Jay-Z was on his "independent bay area grind" with Rocafella Records.

Man, 40 been rappin on Sick-Wid-It since 88'-89' but the og distribution came thru City Hall records... By 93'-03' Jive & WB came lookin for him cause they knew some shyt was goin on up in the Yay and 40 was one of those reasons..Why u think Federal, Mailman and the 1st Click album came back remastered?? 'Cause Fonzarelli got so many hood classics his new fans just heard about, they wanna do the knowledge and get his ol skool shyt

While I've never listened to an E-40 album, all the tracks and features I've heard him on he's done his thing. Even on some newer shyt he killing the young nikkas out here. However, my homies and i use to clown that "sprinkle me" joint back in the school days

[The_Hillsta]

Took it back for some of the OG's on his last album

 

[B86]

I listen to a little bit of everything but E40 is fukkin trash. Never heard anything by him that I actually "liked"

So he was always signed to a label. Thank you for confirming what I said.

They was just for the national distribution bruh ..40 long been doin songs with everybody on several different labels over the years 'cause he wasn't tied to nobody but the label HE started just like P & NL thru Priority 'round the same time or now Tech N9ne & Strange Music thru Fontana

E-40 had a label deal for 90% of his career, which was the point of what I said. To call him independent is widely inaccurate.

 

[goatnole]

dude is beyond trash and doesn't even make sense in most of his songz, does this dude have any real fans outside the bay

My cousin loves this nikka. She's from Denver.

 

[ManBearPig]

Chicago used to be big on west coast rap.

Some older cats fux with E-40

 

[ManBearPig]

I went to school in the Midwest, and ere'body out that way rocks with the entire Bay Area.

I guessing u went to school in Missouri. kansas city and the bay are very connected.

Ok let's try it this way..If u look at the credits on any of his albums from 92-forward it reads Sick-Wid-It/??? The slash being the people pushin the shyt on a bigger scale.. Just like how Giant Records came to the Bay lookin for Hammer cause he was heatin shut up but he told 'em to come with a bigger number cause what they were offering he already made out his trunk...Again he never signed to nobody directly 'cause he always had his own shyt from jump which means for every song he wrote/spit he owns his publishing, royalties etc etc ..From City Hall-Jive he had the west coast-southwest/south/mid so all 40 needed WB to do was get the music out to the rest of the world

I Always looked at E-40 as the west coast version of Ghostface

A lot of brehs especially outside of up North don't rock with Ghost
because they just didn't understand or rock with his style

I put E-40 in that same category

I don't know about ghostface.

He is closer to rae since they both are known for their slang usage.
