Since he released My Ghetto Report Card in ‘06, E-40 has been enjoying a career comeback of sorts. After Tell Me When To Go helped to kick-start a nationwide hyphy trend, and U And Dat started the industry trend of recruiting T-Pain for a hook, the Oakland legend is looking to keep his trend setting streak alive as he approaches his eleventh studio album, The Ball Street Journal. A la When To Go, the 40-year old 40 Water grabs up his BME boss, Lil’ Jon, and together they start a new dance move called the Turf Drop. As 40 leads the crowd, Jon accents with a hyphy-style beat and multiple ad libs. For more street sounds, check out The Ball Street Journal, gearing up to hit music stands later this year.
Okay, for all you cats who don't reside in The Bay, you all got to realize that E-40 was a truly talented and skilled MC before this hyphy movement came among. He had no choice but to follow the overpowering trend and it has definitely worked on his behalf, as he in the forefront to finally bring the hyphy movement nationwide. "Tell Me When To Go" is an anthem out here, they play it at every dance, every club, and this new joint will be no exception. No disrespect to Lil Jon, but it's ironic how an un-hyphy producer is creating all these bangers for The Bay. I try to avoid going dumb (it hurts my head), but for this track I can't help it.
for some reason i cant tell wehter i like dis or not, some parts of da beat appeal to me, some parts dont, im feeling da lyrics tho.. but not all da tym
I think this beat is horrendous! The flow is all over the place. I am not really feeling this at all. They need to go to the drawing board and start from scratch in my opinion.
haha...this is normal for e-40..a crazy beat and his annoying flow wit his dumb sound effect like someone is puchin him in his stomach..lol..club banga and thats about it..
Tone+Chef is 100% correct. Go listen to early E-40. Dude has been spitting FOREVER. I have several vinyl pieces from 40 when he originally signed with Jive in the late 80's. Very underrated, too bad it took a Hyphy movement to bring him any spotlight.
Ooohhh! I just had to say that ,E-40 is definitely one of my favorite Bay artist and I can see me dancing with a fine chick shaking her ass to this beat. I see Lil' Jon is still doing his same thing, I haven't made up my mind if he should shut the fuck up screamin', but Crunk Juice have a few classic songs so I can't hate even though im beginning to believe crunk is dying a fast painful death. No we have Soulja-Boy
This might be a club banger in the Bay--maybe down South--but it will probably not be a club banger elsewhere. I think this track is different and creative but it might not receive a warm welcome from the general public.
DEFINITE BANGER!!! 40 and Lil Jon did it wit dis one...im tellin you right now you can hate on da bay but n***as is already turfin 2 dis im tellin u its da turf dance anthem dont hate jus respect it or get disrespected.
