well that's my month

lol, well i've already had a conversation with the girl that ended with the phrase "well you can KEEP your sondheim, i'm rolling with forty" so this promises to be fun

art of stolrytellin pt 2 >>>>

love "All Y'all (feat. Iamsu and Kool John)" too

these are fucking terrific. it's kind of insane how quality he stays considering he's dumping dozens of songs at a time

I got an unreleased song with Raekwon, but I want Ghostface on there—the beat on that track isn't in either one of our worlds, and that's the trip about it. It could come out four years from now and still sound good.

dude why you teasin us like this

yah

you listened to the new trip album yet, shakey?

no but I will get around to it

great interview

Awesome interview.

4 more albums out in July

how is that even possible

great read thanks

Could you imagine if this had happened (re 2pac):

E-40: You know he was militant. He's like, "Man, we gone show 'em. We gone show them other folks how we gone get this money." He had a idea –- one idea that never came to light, but I know he would have been good at it. You know how they had Planet Hollywood? How all the actors got together and put that together at the time? He wanted to get all the rappers to do Gangster Cafe, and it would have like Al Capone — when you come in there you see pictures of Al Capone, Frank Nitty, all the gangsters. Pictures of them just like Planet Hollywood. Upscale and everything, but call it Gangster Cafe. That was one of his dreams, that's what he said. He was like, "You might want to put your money in this." I was like, "Let me know when. I got a little bit of gouda, I need in."

MUHAMMAD: It's something still for a hip-hop artist — especially, the art form's been around for a minute and people are making money — to see people come together and make a power move like that because I don't think that's happened yet.

E-40: Nope, it haven't. That's the thing: we better together than separate. I try to tell cats. When I rock with Too Short -– one thing about me and Too Short, I respect him as being before me. He taught me a lot, just through his raps and the way he did it. He was the first one to let his nuts hang over his shoulder, and say the things he said. His beats was what the sound is now, way back in the early '80s. With the heavy bass line. And that was him on the keyboards: Todd Shaw.

Once me and Short start really connecting, it can't be no fallouts or nothing like that. Because you know why? I'ma always respect him as being the first. A lot of cats won't do that. They'll just be like, "Well, I'm over you now. I'm way more popular, I'm the dude right now." It ain't about that. You gotta pay homage man. These new cats don't pay homage like that. That's why they always separating and all over the place. Everybody got they egos, and they don't know people like Too Short is gonna be around forever. Because he embroidered in the game. He's in there.

Embroidered in the Game needs to be his next quadruple album name real talk

Frankie took a half step forward in that interview to call forty on sexism and he kinda blew past her.

lol

Like I had a song called "Trick": "Playa don't act like a trick ..."

KELLEY: You can say the real name of the song.

E-40: Oh, OK, I had a song called "B——."

man i haven't even made it to the last triple album yet :(

KELLEY: Has that process changed since the '90s, your relationship with program directors?

E-40: They got that thing called PPM. They got just random people with the ankle bracelet — I mean, well, not a ankle bracelet, but with a bracelet or something. I'm sorry. With a monitor. And they carry it everywhere.

?? can anybody explain what he's talking about here?

wau

man 40's equating that with a prison ankle bracelet is pretty spot on

I'm a panelist and it's nbd really, the worst I get are people asking why I have a pager. The best I get is money and the realization that I'm making radio better.

Also, I really want to try his wine. http://earlstevensselections.com/

can't believe they haven't met yet

is 'broccoli' accepted california parlance? i hadn't heard this term prior to listening to E-40 and i love it

defintely

Yes absolutely

Probably old news to most of you, but I just heard this today - FOUR albums on one day next month. Sharp On All 4 Corners Vol. 1, 2, 3 & 4

oops, saw it mentioned upthread. missed that on my first scan. sorry.

man I still haven't gotten around to 4,5,6 cuz I am broke :(

i don't come from money, i come from fried bologna

i guess two albums a year is slowing down as far as e-40 goes but very much looking forward to december

I am sad to say I just can't keep up anymore I'm like 8 albums behind at this point lol

wait did the other four drop this year already? ha can't remember

Nope. they were supposed to come out a couple months ago, then disappeared, and now the proect has come back as "just" a double. (Still confusingly titled Sharp On All 4 Corners.) Anyway hopefully that means some intense quality control; the single is fun.

oh word? that's weird

My guess was that the other "two corners" drop in mid 2015 but who knows how he's doling this stuff out.

That would make more sense, actually.
