40 Water came wit it on this album just like you thought he would, but still he never gets the credit he deseves. Breaking news came with that heat and E-40 let you know why he's the KING of the YAY. Haters gonna hate but this is not a dissappointment, pleasebelieveit! The game ain't about who's hot for right now but the longevity, and 40 been doin it for years! Breaking News is must have. A Bay Area collectors item.

the words "almost famous" would best describe e-40, the chunnky 4-eyed rapper. for the past 10 years he has been putting out record after record, solo and with his clique the click (no pun intended) to generate little sales. well that was then. recently, vallejo, california's big baller has hit us with his ninth album "breaking news". the difference: it will go platinum. "why?" you might ask. just listen to it! this is the hottest 40-water material i've heard since '96's "hall of game". back with the clique, and a few dirty south guests, earl stevens uses his expected off the wall slang to spit to the hood. the title track starts off the album with a hot keyboard induced beat and a reggae singer to get the party started. the next track, "hot" hits a nice 85* temperature with e using his original lingo. other songs like "got dat work", "married to the ave", "this goes out" and "show and prove" really prove this man's individuality through beats and rhymes and his street credibility. but the 3 best songs on the cd have to be the ultimate club song "anybody can get it", the clipse feature "quarterbackin", and the woman-seducing "one night stand". the only real reason i didn't give this album a 5 is because the last few tracks are pretty lackluster and 40 uses too many guests. but, overall, e-40 impressed me with this album. his lyrics and beats are definately above .500 on this one and i feel that it has potential for a platinum plaque. holding it down for northern califoolya tha mane e-40.

E40 does it again. I dont think this man can do a bad record. It's just that voice and how fast he spits, not to mention the new dictionary he's creating. "Breakin News" is just another classic by the E -- although it's not "Hall of Game Pt 2" that we're waiting for. Still, check out "Married to the Ave" with E making those psychotic siren sounds. Or the optimism of "I Hope You Get This Kite," a song of remembrance to the men behind bars. And E's got a talented young co-rapper named Turf Talk who appears on "I Got Dat Work" and "Gasoline." Then there's "Northern Califoolya" with a list of heavy-hitters guest-spitting, including Keak da Sneak, San Quinn, Messy Marv and the brilliant producer/artist Ea-Ski. The only disappointment is, like on "Grit and Grind", E's bad choice to include a dirty south styled crunk track, "Anybody Can Get It." Sorry, but Lil Jon's screaming does nothing for me. And I dont even know why Bone Crusher still has a career. Other than that, though, it's another gem in E-40's impressive catalog.
