I BE BEASTIN'

lol @ the Tarzan holler

i hope e-40 keeps releasing one perfect song a year for the rest of my life

wow not many rappers drop old school beastie boys references anymore!

great song

whiney still batting 1000 on e-40 song threads in all caps

ppl say stuff like "not many rappers drop old school beastie boys references anymore" or "not many rappers make P.E. references" on ILX. and then I hear them on like 10 or 12 songs that year and never make a thread about it.

also wtf at the romulan ref, that's a new one on me

xpost, i mean

you should because i guess i don't hear them, but most of it is stuff on goon thread so...

Honestly most Beastie/PE refs I hear are on deep album cuts not singles. It's still real prevelant tho

there's one line on the E-40 that made me laugh harder than anything in forever

"Be a leader not a follower...
And if you're gonna be a follower, follow the right leader, stop thinkin with your peter.
My peter? Yeah, your dick"

I really like both new E-40s, but still prefer Graveyard shift. has a darker feel to it, but is still fun as hell.

no idea how I rate them in comparison to Day/Night tho.

oh and yea, Whiney, that line made me cackle on the drive home from work today. E-40s rapped 'fake conversations' are some of teh funniest thigns ever

Yep! It really is the most cohesive of all the Revenue Retrievin series, easily.

i wish i could go back to 2008 and start a thread called I CAN SELL IT

xpost i just really need to have sub woofers put in my car or something just to listen to his albums cuz the fucking bass kills my factory-installed cheapo speakers....

would you say...

your rearview mirror is not viiiiiibrating

produced by Chad Hugo iirc

rear view mirror would have been my choice for *this* thread but beastin is good too

graveyard is super consistent but overtime takes its time getting to the best tracks imo

its not til 'me and my bitch' that I really start loving it (although it goes from there to the end pretty perfectly)

yea the first listen to Overtime was a little weird, but was mega rewarding on second listen.

overtime takes its time getting to the best tracks imo

like night shift

nah the 'over the stove' 'nice guys' 'show me what you working with' 'knock em down music'???

'hillside' 'gunz' 'slow it down' are aite but not on that level imo

agree about 'graveyard' being one of the strongest tho

possibly the strongest

the only song i dont really feel on night shift iirc is that stupid jazze pha / snoop one

songs i dont really feel on night shift
--stupid jazze pha/snoop one
--stilettos and jeans with BOBBY V
--LET GOOOO AND LET GOOOD

But all the best songs are that track 8 through track 18 run

that 'stilettos' beat is dope imo, classic pop rap feel to it

& i dunno how you can hate on a lenny williams hook \oO/

yea Night Shift starts out like fire. Overtime seems to be more sparse beat-wise, in the early going.

romulan btw

I will paypal one american dollar to anyone who can C&P this entire Complex article in one file or post wherein I will actually read it instead of 25 clickthroughs

http://bit.ly/fHBwKe

what is the article i cant open at work

E-40 Breaks Down His 25 Most Essential Songs

i'm just kidding -- the article is actually E-40 Breaks Down His 25 Most Essential Pairs of Shoes

"Drugs" is a jam. love E-40s chaotic delivery on it.

E-40s rapped 'fake conversations' are some of teh funniest thigns ever

OTM

i really could listen to an entire album of him just having faux-conversations with three or four characters that he voices himself over a drone beat

MOPHEADS?

Yeah, some brothers with some dreads...

so psyched that there's 2 more whole records of this now

I hope there's two more next year

Revenue Retrievin': Stick Shift
Revenue Retrievin': Pitch Shift

god this is just so much music i love it

graveyard shift sounding fantastic on first listen, haven't even had a chance to touch overtime yet

overtime starts slow but picks up imo

we discussed this upthread iirc but i dont remember how far into the fold

yeah i see it, there's no fold yet

This is great! I think I was vaguely aware that E-40 had released another two albums but didn't really believe it in my heart until right now. Must get these.

i still don't get why whiney singled out "beastin" tbh

tbh i love lightweight jammin but its still not in my top 5 off those albums either - it does stand out, but only in the sense that most tracks do i guess?

Yeah with E-40 it's like grab a track and put it at the start of a thread and it's probably gonna sound amazing.

"That Candy Paint" is fucking smooooove

pm

"i'm that feat R.O.D."

that fucking beat

i think graveyard is the best out of all 4????!

graveyard > day > night > overtime probably

day > graveyard > night > overtime

gouda > fetti > chalupa > ooooh

graveyard > night > day > overtime

gouda > fetti > chalupa > ooooh

I haven't actually managed to give these a second spin. They are great, but I've just had such a glut of stuff I want to listen to lately.

i would listen to a whole album by Stresmatic

lol @ the rej3cts in the "my shit bang" vid, awesome

<3 how he's totally out of breath on "I'm a motherfuckin hog," in the opening lines. gives the track real character

can we talk about how incredible beeda weeda's verse is

That Candy Paint got a video:

How did droop-e get a #winning joke on this album so fast

i don't think anyone alive today is making music i enjoy as much as E-40

has 40 ever done a track with Kool Keith...? I'm not aware of one. but Keith namedrops e-40 several times and has spent plenty of time in the Bay Area, you'd think sooner or later they would have hooked up or something. Maybe Keith is just too hard to work with...

lol nothin but teenaged white girls in the front rows

E-40

Working on @E40 & @TooShort Soon to be classic album ( THE HISTORY CHANNEL )

Does Too Short have anything left in the tank?

I haven't heard anything recent of his in awhile. he was totally wasted on that Big Boi track

he's on that wiz single & a remix of the travis porter song

Wiz single was kidna boring tho

i don't even remember his verses on either, i was just noting

Although I do like the 'On My Level' beat (sucker for bass like that), Short sounds pretty bad with the kind of mailed in verses he's been reppin for some time. Even his voice/cadence sounds off.

he dropped "Respect the Pimpin'" last year, an ep which had some good songs

'blow the whistle' wasnt really THAT long ago

5 years

blow the whistle is on the radio half the time I'm flipping around

he dropped "Respect the Pimpin'" last year, an ep which had some good songs

I'm gonna check this.

i think of short these days as seasoning more than meat

hey, can anyone tell me about vincent "VT" tolan who produced & sings the hook on E-40 feat too $hort "bitch"? because that's a goddam amazing track.
