e40 is better than 90% of rappers
you expect eastcoast nikkas to be dumb as fukk and not know
but when you dig through his VAST catalogue of music
some of the nikkas we say are top 10 on Eastcoast cant fukk with his discography at all
you are really showing your lack of hiphop knowledge if you try to pretend Earl aint one of the top westcoast artists of all time
I'm actually embarassed that it took me decades to figured it out too, so you arent alone.
The Element of Surprise alone shyts on most rappers best CDs
