mac dre made more of an impact on real bay area rap fans, e-40 has done so much for the bay its retarded and he's gettin money globally, more people tend to pick dre because he was a home team player, he was the bay, everywhere, every hood, every small town in northern california dre would big up to, he credibility never questioned, if it was challenged, everybody knew how dre got down, in and out the pin. I met dre at the hilltop mall, cool as fuck, him and miami just chillen.
e40 started off on some nationwide shit, gettin his money, you gotta respect that shit. He couldnt be deep in the bay streets like dre cuz theres more money to get than that. But he always represented where he came from and he stays consistent and to keep it real, HES ALL WE GOT, hes 40, tha bay needs to step it up and hit atlanta or some shit and try to get put on. He needs to cut them fuckin dreads tho.
