Often imitated but never beaten in the rap slangin' stakes, E40 drops GRIT & GRIND, his third major-label album. which continues his innovative tradition of freestyle rapping (he's also compiling a dictionary that'll help us decipher what he's talking about). The West Coast Bay Area rapper is partnered here with a plethora of guests, including Afroman, Eight-Ball, Kokane, and Peet The Sneek, in a roller-coaster of an album that takes us from autobiography on "Da Bay" to drink recipes on the Funkadelic-influenced "7 Much," and is peppered along the way with glimpses of E's fabulous West Coast lifestyle.
Less gangsta than playa, E40's content to be driving along in his tricked-out SUV, inventing rhymes and words to confound the outside world and dealing on the side to earn a little cash. There's little talk of guns and not much violence on GRIT & GRIND--more typical is "Mustard and Mayonnaise," a run-down of luxury items West Coast rappers can't afford to be without. This, combined with E40's new, improved vocal stylings ("I slowed down my spit," he says) make this good-humored slice of life go down nice and easy.
Industry Reviews
4 out of 5 - ...E-40's new musical disposition is liberating....Mr. Hustle has finally gone bicoastal...
