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.
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

Chucky still played hardball on price tho'...
There's a lot of game in that family's blood.

Regional bias(es).
Iz this the same Ric Roc of CMW's clique?
Will R&B cats start appropriatin' shit?
Keisha Coles Hyphy remix? Just sayin.
Ha! I'm working on just such a mix this weekend.
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."
AHEM...I call it "R & Bay."
Winner.
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."
Indeed. Im officially jumped on the carpetbaggin bandwagon now though. Especially with my parents set to move there. YAAAAYYYYYY ARRREEAAAA!!!!
