When I was a kid I remember seeing a few advertisements in Sick-Wid-It's liner notes talking about E-40's upcoming 'Book of Slang'...I waited on it for a bit, but like most advertisements in liner notes in those days, I never saw it. I assumed it was a dead project. 

Apparently, it actually WAS released as a supplement to Murder Dog magazine sometime in 2003. My questions - have any of you actually seen it in person or online? I've checked ebay and have done a bit of googling but I really can't seem to find anything on it...Hell, I can't even find an IMAGE of the advertisement online...

Any info would be appreciated

Closest I've seen was a page in the issue of XXL with Snoop and Game on the cover.
"House shoes & coffee: I know the paper gone come"

I definitely don't think he's working on it anymore. He's pretty good at promoting what he's working on and I haven't heard him talk about this in YEARS...

This article says it was set to come out on July 22, 2003: http://allhiphop.com/2003/06/10/e-40-finished-book-of-slang/
This article says it came out in Murder Dog Magainze (last paragraph): http://www.enotes.com/e-40-reference/e-40


Closest I've seen was a page in the issue of XXL with Snoop and Game on the cover.

Was it just a page full of words with their definitions?

I remember that album art was in "The Element Of Surprise" booklet.

What I always wanted to know is if any of the tracks off of that supposed unreleased album called "Slumpalation" were some of the tracks that would've been on it....

it wasn't supposed to be an album, it was supposed to be a actual physical book...
