"Best Of Yesterday Today & Tomorrow" Review!

"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."

Bay Area's Best Shines

"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..."
