Bay area's Hip-Hop legend E-40, latest CD has debuted at #1 on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Charts, which constitutes a first for the "Ambassador Of The Bay." Released March 14, 2006, My Ghetto Report Card teams E-40 with BME Recordings' head Lil Jon, who executive produced the CD and features production by Lil Jon, Rick Rock, E-40's son Droop-e with guest features by Mike Jones, Juelz Santana, B-Legit, 8Ball, and UGK.
The video for the first single from My Ghetto Report Card, "Tell Me When To Go," which features bay area's Keak da Sneak, was recently shot by Lil Jon and Director Bernard Gourley (Lyfe Jennings, Three 6 Mafia, Beanie Sigel). The video introduces the world to the Bay Area's Hyphy movement: "It's a movement. It's a culture. It's the way we talk. It's superflambosta. It's really just stunting to the up-most degree. It's showboating and showcasing. It's wardrobe. It's however you feeling. It's energy. It's a dance, several different phases of it, you dig? It's cars. It's showing off. It's whatever. It's Hyphy" says E-40.
"My Ghetto Report Card" highlights the Bay Area native's trademark style: "E-40 acts as ringmaster with slick wordplay, street smarts and sly humor. He has long been at the head of his class; now he's graduating to the next level," raves Steve Jones in USA Today, while San Francisco Weekly's Tamara Palmer says, "'My Ghetto Report Card' will go down in history as the album that helped Bay Area hip-hop reclaim its place on the national stage."
For the die hard fans, a special called "Hype on Hyphy" is being produced by Warner Bros. and will be available as a DVD, along with the video and making of the video. And to educate the masses on his diverse lingo, E-40 has a book of slang called "E-40's Dictionary Book of Slang, Vol. 1" that will hit stores around the time of the album release on Warner Books (will also be available in audio form).
