If you've never heard of E-40 then you probably don't know about as much about West Coast rap as you'd like to think. Contrary to popular belief, most of the slang that Snoop Dogg made popular was actually borrowed from Forty. The Bay area icon has come up with some of the most inventive methods of speech ever and this "greatest hits" collection offers up some of the finest work in his career. Classics like "Rapper's Ball" and "Captain Save a H**" are excellent choices but a number of Forty's hottest joints ("Nah Nah", "Dusted & Disgusted") are noticeably absent. Four new unreleased songs make for a nice touch but this CD feels more like a preview of his work than a career retrospective. With close to a dozen albums in his catalog, Jive should have strongly considered making this "greatest hits" album a two-disc project.

HEY IF YOUR A FAN THIS IS A GREAT CD TO BUY, GIVE'S YOU A LITTLE OF EVERYTHING, YOU WILL GET A TICKET BECAUSE IT JUST MAKE YOU RIDE A LITTLE FASTER IN YOUR RIDE,YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW YOUR MOVIN THAT QUICK BECAUSE SONG AFTER SONG JUST KEEP'S YOU HYPE! IT'S LIKE A "ROCKSTAR" DRINK ON CD.

Sure, you know them all-With a few exceptions.
But does it matter?
E-40 is original, catchy and a true verbalist. If you don't love this album, it'll be because you can't keep up with it...

I agree with a previous review that this really should have been a two disc set.E-40 is one of the most original,bumpin' ass rappers on the west coast.The cd just skims the surface if you ask me,of how great he is.Simply put,if you dont own any E-40 or have never heard him,shame on you!If that is the case though this is a pretty good start for ya.If you really want the best of E-40 though you will need to buy all his cds or pretty damn close at least.

E-40 is good rapper. Good tracks are Zoom,Dusted `n' Disgusted and Automatic. His album gets 3 out of 5.
