Would E-40 be as big as he is today WITHOUT Rick Rock?

[306]

you tripping .. if anything he was bigger in 94-95 than he is now

I agree.

True. I think 40's shit was tighter back in those days. It's tight now too but his old shit was classic.

Yeah, if you're talking in terms of MUSIC alone, I agree, although the funny thing is, when CHARLIE HUSTLE and LOYALTY & BETRAYAL came out, I wasn't feeling them too much. But today, I listen to them and they sound better now than they did when they came out...go figure.

As far as whether 40's bigger now than in the mid-1990s' (in terms of popularity), I honestly couldn't say...like most Bay cats, he isn't big enough. But that's the Northeast radio and video programmers for you--anything not from New York, New Jersey, D.C. or (maybe) Philly is "soft" to them, so whaddya gonna do? LOL!

PEACE!

your age has alot to do with it.....

if you were 10 or so in 93-94 then u wouldnt be able to grasp whats really going on in the community and why things happen.. ud just be mimmickin grown folks around u.....

I thought we were talking about the rap game involving 40 and Rick Rock. I didn't know we were on the subject of why things happen and how the community is doing. :cheeky:

 

[Koo LaVeesh]

I agree on that, plus Mike Mosley & Sam Bostic always made them tight ass mob beats for Fonzerelli from way back.
