    I think Justin might. Jon (Caramanica) told me he asked Shadow if he himself owned one and indeed, (not surprinsgly) he did.

    Few families have been as well equipped for the challenge. E-40 got his start as a member of the Click, which also included his sister, Suga T, his brother D-Shot and his cousin B-Legit. In the 1960's, his father and uncle were in a local soul band, the Inspirations, and that uncle, St. Charles Thurman, went go on to be the chief executive of Solar Music Group , which gave many Bay Area rappers their start. (Mr. Thurman's lone seven-inch single as a solo artist is highly prized by collectors: fewer than five copies are known to exist.)

    Does the one jinx possess one of the five known copies?

    Yes, that bed-ridden bastard does (see the pic posted in his SoulStrut isht a few years back). With some help from P-Ro, he actually tracked Chucky down using the credits from an early E-40 release. Jinx's copy is pretty rinked, though.

    Chucky still played hardball on price tho'...

    There's a lot of game in that family's blood.

    what are y'all thoughts on 40's record though? I'm a tad underwhelmed, only four or so tracks really jump out to me and Rick Rock's stuff is kinda "eh"

    Plus hearing "Tell me when to go" blasted at lunch _every_single_day has started to ruin the fun of it

    personally I'm more excited about TI and Ghostface's new stuff

    Good, since E-40's album seems to be fading fast already.

    I thought this was a pretty good article.

    E-40: "and the rap game without the Bay Area is like old folks without bingo."

    How long before we get the obligatory R&B offshoot, Hyph-n-B?

    The McPaper's story on hyphy is a lot more accurate than much of what's been published in the local media by writers who are ostensibly down.

    Funny fuck-up:

    "the song intones "tell me where to go ... Go dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb" over a thumping bass line."
