Title: E40 is the Smartest Rapper Alive
Post by: MOBNigga06 on March 07, 2012, 10:18:22 PM: I gotta say: this guy is a genius. With the game being the way it currently is, with less money circulating, 40 still manages to find a way to make serious money. He's making good music that can appeal to the masses and also have clever, high quality lyrics. He's releasing prodigious amounts of music - some of which is, of course, average - but there are serious bangers in there. It's amazing to think one man made all of these dope songs in two years:

Barbarian
Graveyard Shift
Mr. Flamboyant 2K11
Bitch
That Candy Paint
Spend the Night
Rearview Mirror
43
Wet
Lookin Back
Attention
Over the Stove
Bad Bitch
Can't Stop the Boss
Fuck Em

Shit's incredible. E40 is hustling and making the best music of his career, and the best music in the game today. Ya smell me.

Post by: bouli77 on March 08, 2012, 01:20:19 AM: i don't think it's smart, it's just something he did to boast his work ethic. puttin out 3 albums is 3x as expensive and your 3 products compete with each other. but i guess he has the clout and the set up to do it without losing money. he's one of the pioneers of this independent hustle so he knows what he's doing.

i was jammin "get money" with Jeezy & Bila and I wondered why the song wasn't included in the final Revenue Retrievin versions. that song was one of the best he had done in a while. i still rate it over most of the first two RR installments.

I personally like his new shit although he's got some wack shit too.

Good look for the west though.
