E-40 — The Curb Commentator Channel 1 EP


Fourth extended play for the Bay Area veteran, E-40. 14 minutes, 5 songs, overall, it's a very weak, lazy, effortless work: it's not a particularly bad project, but it's mediocre and poor. Production is cheap, simplistic West Coast funky boom bap that gives you Rap-A-Lot vibes, energetic vibrating drum machine, E-40 carves a single solo track, but guests don't add as much. Wiz Khalifa is decent on the trap vibes of the second track, K-Camp goes unnoticed in "Bet", while the other two are Suga Free (good) and B-Legit (not so good). There's literally nothing to talk about here, a little bit of random braggadocio, many have stopped at that line, but I mean guys, have you seen that series? Is Peter Dinklage the only one drinking?! Come on, it's not funny, I mean, if he had replaced it with Lena, he would have at least closed a decent bar. 4/10.
