E Fizzle still bangin even tho I'm no hyphy n9gga I feel this one
Hey this is E-40 the godfather of Bay Area rap and the Ambassador of the yay... Quit hatin.. as I always say in my reviews. Yea he's gettin a little too hyphy for me, cuz I'm a Southern Cali resident anyways and we don't get hyphy we keep it G. But despite all that this is still a thumper, lots of good featured artists on here (except I could do without T-Pain [the T stands for Tricc!]) All in all about 3.8 out of 5 stars for me, I rounded up to 4. Grab this one u won't be disappointed.. Better than the new Luda at least.

EDITOR COMMENT IS INCORRECT
DO YOUR RESEARCH FOOL. MY GHETTO REPORT CARS WAS NOT 40'S GOLD DEBUT, IN A MAJOR WAY WENT PLATINUM FOOL. AND HALL OF GAME WENT GOLD HELLA LONG AGO. GIMME YOUR JOB, YOU NEED TO GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT

From the Ambassador of the Bay to the Ambassador of Gay
What a shame!!! I loved 40's music since Mr.FlamboyantEP right up to Grit & Grind. But when I hear his new stuff and see pansy's like T-Shame and Acorn jumping and yowling around him I can't belive it. This Album sounds like the Muppet Show on Angel Dust and cut me to the quick. We're in Europe are more than disappointed. If you're really Sick Wid it don't buy it.

my view on the hyphy movement
My boyfriend has been tryin to get me to shun E-40 for awhile now since he started going mainstream. To be honest I ignored the new stuff and just kept lovin the smebbin dayz. Today I got a taste of the Hyphy version of his music and it has left a sick taste in my mouth. 40 how you gonna go from da ghetto to a beach? You look like you need a tan homie is that it? Lookin a little light skinneded mane maybe you should work on that cus your lyrics are empty and without meaning anymore. How do you justify settin the pace for mobbin wit 6 badazz mf's surroundin a fool who just got taken by a trick to this? Sunshine and sand 40 and you on da beach shakin yo dreds like you are Bo Derek or somethin. This new album the ball street journal is definitely not a "10" . I would not put this Hyphy mess on the Click if I were E-40 it is a good way to get shot. To me you used to tha 40-watta and now your bulb is dim and almost out.
