audio review : In A Major Way ( album ) ... E-40

Listen to Da Bumble. It’s one long verse and it showcases just how unique E-40 is when it comes to rapping. It’s not really a matter of substance. His ghetto gab isn’t particularly clever or witty. It’s how he says what he says; his flamboyant flow and slangy style; that makes it both funny and addictive.

E-40 is the dope boy, after all, providing street drugs to the masses. This album offers back-to-back fixes until about halfway when the quality suddenly drops, mostly due to weak hooks. That’s when you start to realize that, though better than his Federal debut, it would’ve been better as another EP.

video review : Friday The 13th

Though there is more to this horror flick than “babes in the woods”, there are some pretty girls in it. A quirky one gets her throat slashed. Another takes an axe to the forehead. They’re counselors at Camp Crystal Lake; a place haunted not by ghosts but an inconspicuous killer, the deranged motives of which aren’t revealed till day’s end.
