E-40's 'Report Card' Isn't Good Enough To Up His Allowance!

E-40 used to have songs where you had no clue what the heck he was saying. Now you can understand what he's saying, it's just the new 'slanguage' that throws most of us off from time to time. We all remember the classics like "Captain Save A H--," "Sprinkle Me," and "Player's Ball." But all those jams were more than a decade ago, and most of the bandwagon fans have since departed to countless other rappers. E-40 tries to re-up with My Ghetto Report Card but doesn't quite make the grade.

A DIFFERENT LOOK FROM SOME OF THE [...] TODAY.

Quite simply, I just said it out loud and summed it all up for you. There are many rappers still going from the like the late eighties and mid nineties that quite simply are saving the rap industry. Guys like Ice Cube with his new album coming out, highly recommended, it's titled "Laugh Now, Cry Later" that drops in June, and is basicly saying what I am. There have been huge controversies on how Houston and Atlanta have taken over and guys like E-40, Cube, and some more being Too $hort holding it down with a surprise album every couple a years, DMX coming back to the scene (knew he couldn't watch his game come apart like this for too long), Mobb Deep, dropping the newly released "Blood Money", who I know you all have your own little G-Unit vs. G-Unot click thing going on but come on, leave Prodigy and Havoc out of that, lets all grow up and get real, we don't want another Pac-BIG thing which if you think about it isn't too far off from this 50-Ja Rule, or Game, whatever just come on and cut the [...]. Welcome to the entertainment business, not World War III. But anyway E-40 keeps it alive still with quite a few hot songs with many surprising amazing beats, thank you Lil Jon aka Jonathan Smith for that. "Tell Me When To Go", "Muscle Cars", "U And Dat", and many, many more have superb beats. Albums from guys like him are keeping it all still going, along with Kanye "Kanyevil" West, Lupe Fiasco kicking and pushing, Game, and what not and not much else. You know when I first bought this album I was with my friend who paid for it but I knew I would have to pay him back so I really wasn't sure on this one. I hesitated to get it in the store, left the store, stopped immidiately and got scared it would be a waste, and then later on sitting by a bench didn't want to open it incase I thought about it and wanted to return it. But heart thumping and all it was released, popped into a stereo and shook it's dreads. I was already sure I loved the hit single "Tell Me When To Go", which is currently tearing up the charts of 106 and Park, TRL, and what not. So all in all this gets a five instead of a four and a half because of comparisons to new stuff now. So E-40 keep on doing what you do, but man, as you plan on growing some, act like Lil Jon, AND GROW SOME DREADS!

What can I saw, one I love the man for many reasons.
