Happy 2025 to you and your loved ones Tochi! So nice to see you talking about something you love and are passionate about! I’d love to hear your thoughts on squid game season 2. It’s an interesting season but a bit of a slow burner in the first two episodes however.
really taking in “Underwater” from Ghost, thanks for the recommendation musically and lyrically it’s like some rap Princess Momonoke/Spirited Away shit in a good way I just love how vivid and cinematic it is, DOOM really put his foot in that one 🌊😤
Being someone from ny not nyc but jus outside the boroughs it’s refreshing to see the people mostly from outside the US give us our proper due. Bc it’s dead annoying dealing wit west coast cats and southerners who want to act like we not like that for a genre we built and I like people from all over but it’s jus nice to hear. That being said I’m not bumping either of these songs again lol I never been big on e-40 and supernatural I Hurd of but never got into bumping him he’s b4 I was even born lmao
What you think about MC-Eiht? I heard some say his flow could be a bit off at times. But I really fw a bunch of his songs. He was one of the few west coast gangsta rappers at the time that wasn’t on that G-Funk wave. His stuff got a east coast flavor to it
(2:27 - 3:00) I mean, his moniker is, "40 Water." LOL Thank you for the nostalgia, as I used to watch the "Rap Olympics" with my mother, as a child (born 1992).
Huge E-40 fan, but I lot of stuff from him I like is mainly in the 2000’s and onward, not to say the 90’s stuff was bad but the beats are a bit too inactive for me, if you like tell me when to go I’d recommend muscle cars
I’m from LA but roots in NYC via my pops and his people etc..I love this video, because I think it highlights how underrated kurupt is in Cali. E40s catalog doesn’t have a we can freak it by kurupt, or gz up hoes down by snoop. I like some of 40s records but very few far in between. Kurupt doesn’t get the credit he deserves in Cali just my opinion.
@ agreed! That shit rings every start of spring/summer in Cali! And other regions in America every-time summer hits like clock work. That beat by battle at is disgusting! 🤢
Hey, tochi, is it just me but why does it seem like NY is the most hate state in the genre even though it's the birthplace. Its like all California ever wants to do is spin a east coast/west coast narrative. Then there's Atlanta having this weird inferiority complex, e.g. "all we do is play our own music on radio", like how can you participate in hiphop and hate the soul of it which is the new yorker life style. I'm from Chicago so am suppose to act and meat ride for my set like they do😆. To me it comes of as envious.
Nobody is envious the east coast hasn’t been relevant in 2 decades lol but to answer your question people like music that is relatable midwest has their style west coast has their and south has theirs depending on where you are born you are just gonna naturally gravitate towards your sound you are familiar with and what do you mean spin a east coast/west coast narrative?
@@CMJ_96 Lol ok fam the East Coast ain't relevant in your eyes based on popularity reasons. But in Hip-Hop circles all around the world, Hip-Hop heads worship NY shit. Bruh I went to a shoe store in Shibuya which is in Tokyo. They were playing shit Preemo did with Afu Ra, Blaq Poet, M.O.P., Group Home & Nas😂😂😂
@ *East coast ain’t been relevant in your eyes based on popularity reasons* No it’s not relevant or popular in the culture as a collective anymore the south has been dominating rap since 2006 because we are innovative and the east became stagnant i don’t care about the world I’m talking here in the states where it matters where the culture actually thrives
@@FlipSkriptz It’s not my eyes the culture as a whole moved on from new york rap a long time ago they stayed stagnant and never progressed while the south became innovative nobody trying to hear boom bap in 2025
Sir, I’m a 20 year old artist from west philly trying to find my way. I’d really like to get your opinion on some things. Is there a gram or anything I could hit you up from? I would like it if you could hear some of my work and potentially grab an OG’s ear. If not, could you at least set me up with some underground hip hop from back then? I know things like Illmatic, but I’d really like to touch up on the origins.
New Joey is so bad even kendrick new shit is better. Idk wtf happened to Joey. I like his stuff from b4da$$ and under. Then it's hit or miss from 2016-2019 then after that he became actually bad
@@samihhaider9384 how was 2000 a bad album? Eulogy is on there and that’s arguably a top 10-15 Joey song period, that beat is classic and the second verse is ELITE
@romaretaylor9953 it's not bad. I checked that song and its mid. His matured voice just aint it, comes across as too try hard now. Also his pen has fallen off really bad. His features with conway and rome streetz are just so terribly written. Just pandering with biggies old lyrics and I'm supposed to be impressed. Not to mention the delivery is terrible. Check out his song rumble with powers pleasant. This song here is what made me officially say Joey is garbage now. I miss songs like piece of mind from b4da$$
Da bumble is trash??? Ah man lol....man that takes me back to growing up so i have a bias of course...but im still gonna say youre sick for sayin that...that album is full of classics
I'm not a fan of In A Major way.. I heard it while going through all the releases of '95. I actually like 40 but I could not get into those beats lol. I only saved Dusted and Disgusted, and I wouldn't even put the album top 30 of that year. I prefer the Federal album a bit more
@ I’m actually thinking of the album Mac mall thiziana stoned and the temple of shrooms… Perfect poison, rather have, luv luv lav…. Easy being mezzy.. all their albums have a similar sound.. we listen to these albums for the druggy and hoochi daddy bars..
even for the “young” names i’ll say it’s one of the better ones just because of the “noble” part but it’s more about how the name is represented/carried
@@legendary9689 hip hop has a goofy comedic side. I know what you mean. The content and vibe can be goofy but not wack. And e40 sounds wack most of the time 😩
he sounds like the pimp version of bubble bass (spongebob) 😭💀 th-cam.com/video/D1xC-5vw3vI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=MAuBNhDkcVvU_I9N but at least he tries to offer something unique and i like “tell me when to go” though

interesting video tochi. because I know supernatural from netflix's hip hop evolution but I really didn't have a chance to listen to his music.
I enjoy Black Amphibian, but the poll had me raising an eyebrow lol
@@rainmixing 🤣
Gangsta Song feat Kent Jones is worth checking out

One of my fav songs from E40 is “the Slap” Rick rock bodied that beat
Da Bumble for the Win 💯💪🏾

even for the “young” names
i’ll say it’s one of the better ones
just because of the “noble” part
but it’s more about how the name is represented/carried

He's praising Nas damn near most of the track
