Did he just record verses and then have someone lay a beat over them? He had the most erratic rhythmless flow ever.

East coast heads don't get west coast rap.I heard the same thing about 40, Short, Suga Free etc. I think it's probably because west coast and east coast hip hop fans are looking for something different. Lyrics do matter to a certain extent but rappers that can spit game and tell a story are more popular in the west. East coast folk are into lyricist but there is more to being a good rapper then catchy rhymes and metaphors. I think if you stop worrying about the lyrics and listen to what they are saying you might get it. Particularly on 40 and Short they been rapping since the mid 80's longer then a lot of you have been alive, still selling albums and doing shows and tours, still relevant. How many other rappers from that era can say that?
You’re an idiotE 40 has been rapping for over 30 years and he’s awful at it. Silk had Mystikal save a couple tracks. I remember hearing the I got 5 on it and knowing 40 was going to be on it. I started getting anxious. That guy stinks.
Word. I just listened to 97' mentality. That alone takes him off the worse rapper list. Dude went in on that shit.cappa ain't the greatest, but he got some memorable verses.
I’m not on the West Coast. I travel once every other year to the Best Coast. I define greatness as the ability to grab a verse at any moment in time and make it applicable to your current moment. Maybe it’s because I don’t have a complete master of his discography that has me feeling this way. He’s not my comfort food. When I’m in a good mood I don’t seek him out. If I’m angry I don’t seek him out. To listen to e 40 is a chore. He’s like listening to a dumb woman who you know is going to give you subpar head in the whip. Has a whole doctorate degree in education, in debt living in a studio apartment with her mother and her 10 year old daughter, and you’re only throwing her the dick because you’re damn near 40 and you know she wanted to be with you since middle school — technically elementary.You’re an idiot
