E-40 Album: “Mail Man”

I am 30 years old and originally from the Yay. The Sucka Free to be exact & those who dont know where thats at then dont concern your selves. This is the best E-40 album eva. The review sayin that this is not NORMALLY what E-40 does, needs to have his brain racked. The stuff that E-40 does now is NOT what he normally did. The original CLICK album is a prime example of what the Valley Joe was about. I have been listening to rap and hip hop from the Yay area since I was in Middle school and anyone who says this album is wack needs a lesson. The New stuff is garbage!!! Original West Coast funk with speedy lyrics and a bubbly voice pop that people hated on till recently. This is from the days of Cross Colors and Ellese shoes. If you are from that era then download this!!

The mailman is flawless E-40. The reason it is flawless because there isn't any excess fat on it. Every song on here is 5 star quality. Every song has a point and purpose. He is not on the mic just saying lyrics. There is real subject matter here. Each song is actually about something. He is not just flowin' to a beat. Consider yourself lucky because you are witnessing E-40 in his rawess form. This is the best E-40 your gonna hear. This is before the Platinum Plaques before the money. This E-40 still had something to prove to non believers. And you can hear it in his delivery. Federal was experimental rookie stuff. All the other albums are just E-40 defending his West Coast crown. Mailman is E-40 actually going for the championship of the World. He actually sounds hungry on this record. He might be hungry? He looks thinner than ever on the album cover. And for people complaining about the number of songs on this EP... Consider yourselves lucky because in its original release their was only like six songs on this record.

The number of tracks isn't what I expected, but damn every song is slappin. E-40 and Ghostface Killah are the only old school rappers that continually put out album after album and they are always a must buy.

E-40's EP is nothing short of a fun listen. 40's complex and varied flow is matched by none. He can be funny and sincere at the same time. Songs like, "Where The Party At," "Ballin Outta Control," and "Ballin Outta Control" (including the remix) are perennial classics with fun, funky, and bouncy beats. If you love Bay area rap, of west coast rap period, all of 40 Water's albums will offer something to entertain you and keep your head noddin!

This cd is great. Im glad they had the vido music box channel because it was the only place I saw him in 93 when this came out. Then I had to buy this from the hit captin save em, and I practice looking hard. The whole cd is very funky like the old Too Short bay area sound. I love it. THe cd is short but it makes up for it because the songs are high in quality not no filters. Every song is a 10. I wouldnt gave this 5 start if it had more songs. Get this to hear the true e-40 sound.
