Title: E-40's 'Book of Slang' - any of ya'll ever come across this?
Post by: NobodyButMe on March 08, 2013, 06:59:52 PM
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.

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....
