What are your favorite E-40 songs from the past decade?

March 15, 2021 9:50 AM

I really like E-40, but starting in 2010 he began to release too much music for me to keep up with. We're talking somewhere in the universe of 280 to 300 songs, I think. What are the best songs from this era?

Specifically I'm talking about the 14 albums that comprise the Revenue Receivin', Block Brochure, Sharp on All 4 Corners, and D-Boy Diaries series, and various collaborations (Too Short, B-Legit, and features). Thanks!!!

You probably already know this one but I'm partial to 'Choices (Yup)' - both the original and the GSW remix.

I honestly don't think you can go wrong; they're very good albums to put on in the background.

But, since I've found myself listening to some E-40 via a Cadence Weapon mixtape:

• My Shit Bang
• The Weed Man
• In The Morning
• I think that Revenue Retrievin': Graveyard Shift is pretty much bangers all the way through; Barbarian, Graveyard Shift, My Lil Grimey N*, Concrete, Club on Lock if you want an amazing pop song; That Candy Paint...
• Depends on your tolerance for Chris Brown; if it's low, Function, if you're willing to listen to a track with him on it, the Coast to Coast remix.
• History: Function Music is another solid straight-through album - This Shit Pound, Slide Through, Dump Truck
• I was less tuned in by the time the Block Brochure hexology came out; Bamboo is solid, is Catch A Fade.
• The D-Boy Diary is another album that works pretty much all the way through for me; Straight To The Point makes G-Eazy tolerable, which is a feat. Mr Arm and Hammer. Goon Music. On the more pop side, Stay Away and Gangsta Song.

After that, I also lost track, but I'd be remiss not to mention Lightweight Jammin', the recent MOB and I Stand On That, Yikin', They Point, this video for Back in Business, I'm Laced, Big Sean's I Don't Fuck With You (Coach Kanye!), and Meet the Dealers.

OK, I think that's most of what I've gone back to since it was released - but again, it's definitely worth throwing some of the albums on in the background at some point!
