Albums E-40 - Gift of Gab (Discussion)

[samutahjazz]

Ive never liked e40s rapping... couldnt stand him over an entire album... but idk how u can say "I hope i dont go back" ISNT a classic as fukk hip hop song (and video for that matter) then u havnt heard it, never gave it a chance, or are so caught up in your bias that u cant admit it... e40 definitely has a few undeniable moments

Y'all cats kill me man...cuz I don't like an artist it's hate? Should I call u a Stan cuz u like him? But nah I won't do that because you are a fan

Never liked 40 music and it's not about his content it's his flow and his deliver is straight up wack to me....I respect the shyt out of homie ... straight up hustler and legend he's just wack musically to me

But what u doin is how the universe work ....

-/+

Negative bout the style.. followed by positive about his hustle

Y not respect the hustle .. save the chatter bout the hate

Every artist that has ever been mention get the plus minus factor

It is hate y even come to the thread for 2-3 nikkaa that hate em .. it’s 12-15 that fukk with him since 89

Never heard if it.

:PPicard:
How old are you?
There is no way you could have been a serious hip hop fan in the mid to late 90s (by serious I mean listening to the radio, checking the magazines, and watching the video shows) and not heard multiple E-40 songs. :PGucci:

:Pgtfoh:


:peeumad:

I willing to bet 90% of hiphop fans have never heard of that song.

I'm willing to bet 100% of serious hip hop fans in the mid to late 90s heard multiple E-40 songs.
Then again with the song with Fabolous.
Then again in 2006.

That would be The MACk

You mean the Mac Michael Robinson?
You in hear claiming you never heard Sprinkle Me but also name-dropping Vallejo pioneers?

 

[mobbinfms]

I have never heard that song being played anywhere.

How many 23 year old songs are you hearing played and where? :pdahellclean:

Never seen it on a classic hiphop songs list.

Drop some of these classic hip hop songs lists you speak of. :pdahellclean:

The average fan wouldn't know what it is.

You mean casual fans? Who cares what they know :pdahellclean:

 

[mobbinfms]

Maybe the average 17 year old fan...fair

The average 17 year old probably doesn't even know who Too Short is. Rakim. KRS.
They shouldn't be used as a measuring stick.

E-40, the most under respected legend in the game. No one from his era is near as relevant as he is. He's still getting radio play

 

[julesocean]

His worst album in awhile, still a legend though.

E40 came out nearly 10 years before Snoop

 

[AldavisAlbundyAllah!]

I got no idea what’s he’s getting. And I have no idea whos putting up the expenses to record, features, etc.

He broke it down on his Drink Champs ep

I want to say it was a 70% cut

Haven't spun it yet, but his albums usually take a listen or two before really appreciating them for me.

 

[franknitty711]

He really needs to find different beats. The last few albums sound exactly the same and rhetoric is the same. Last track is dope I wanna hear an album that is a little more polished and goes in different directions.

That being said 40 is still putting out records and relevant. He deserves much props for all that he has done over the last 20 plus years

Oh damn. That aint even close to true... snoop was doing records with foesum and dj glaze in 1989-90
