Could you imagine if this had happened (re 2pac):
E-40: You know he was militant. He's like, "Man, we gone show 'em. We gone show them other folks how we gone get this money." He had a idea –- one idea that never came to light, but I know he would have been good at it. You know how they had Planet Hollywood? How all the actors got together and put that together at the time? He wanted to get all the rappers to do Gangster Cafe, and it would have like Al Capone — when you come in there you see pictures of Al Capone, Frank Nitty, all the gangsters. Pictures of them just like Planet Hollywood. Upscale and everything, but call it Gangster Cafe. That was one of his dreams, that's what he said. He was like, "You might want to put your money in this." I was like, "Let me know when. I got a little bit of gouda, I need in."

MUHAMMAD: It's something still for a hip-hop artist — especially, the art form's been around for a minute and people are making money — to see people come together and make a power move like that because I don't think that's happened yet.E-40: Nope, it haven't. That's the thing: we better together than separate. I try to tell cats. When I rock with Too Short -– one thing about me and Too Short, I respect him as being before me. He taught me a lot, just through his raps and the way he did it. He was the first one to let his nuts hang over his shoulder, and say the things he said. His beats was what the sound is now, way back in the early '80s. With the heavy bass line. And that was him on the keyboards: Todd Shaw.Once me and Short start really connecting, it can't be no fallouts or nothing like that. Because you know why? I'ma always respect him as being the first. A lot of cats won't do that. They'll just be like, "Well, I'm over you now. I'm way more popular, I'm the dude right now." It ain't about that. You gotta pay homage man. These new cats don't pay homage like that. That's why they always separating and all over the place. Everybody got they egos, and they don't know people like Too Short is gonna be around forever. Because he embroidered in the game. He's in there.

Frankie took a half step forward in that interview to call forty on sexism and he kinda blew past her.

Like I had a song called "Trick": "Playa don't act like a trick ..."
KELLEY: You can say the real name of the song.
E-40: Oh, OK, I had a song called "B——."

KELLEY: Has that process changed since the '90s, your relationship with program directors?
E-40: They got that thing called PPM. They got just random people with the ankle bracelet — I mean, well, not a ankle bracelet, but with a bracelet or something. I'm sorry. With a monitor. And they carry it everywhere.
?? can anybody explain what he's talking about here?

I'm a panelist and it's nbd really, the worst I get are people asking why I have a pager. The best I get is money and the realization that I'm making radio better.

wait did the other four drop this year already? ha can't remember
― no but seriously im not a dick like that (Spottie), Tuesday, 4 November 2014 19:59 (nine years ago) link
Nope. they were supposed to come out a couple months ago, then disappeared, and now the proect has come back as "just" a double. (Still confusingly titled Sharp On All 4 Corners.) Anyway hopefully that means some intense quality control; the single is fun.
― Simon H., Tuesday, 4 November 2014 20:06 (nine years ago) link
oh word? that's weird
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 4 November 2014 20:07 (nine years ago) link
My guess was that the other "two corners" drop in mid 2015 but who knows how he's doling this stuff out.
