New music from E-40 & Too Short “Say I” Ft. Wiz Khalifa.. Off of E-40 and Too Short’s upcoming double album “History: Mob Music & Function Music”.

E-40 & Too Short “Dump Truck” Feat. Travis Porter


Of all the music videos filmed this year, I’m guessing these dudes had the most fun ‘conducting’.   Construction vehicles and big booty – it’s a man’s world.  E-40 and Too Short will have two albums out in November: “History: Mob Music” and “History: Function Music”.

The term “out of sight, out of mind” is something that people don’t understand the gravity of.  If there’s a war in some corner of a foreign country not as many people are aware of it as if it was on your TV screen or iPad screen every day.  Such is the way I feel about music in the Bay Area.  Coming from the Tri State area, anything that was big on the radio there, was big on the radio everywhere.  Moving out to the Bay was the first time I realized that alot of good music goes undiscovered, and I still to this day, 7 years later, haven’t figured out why.  Songs like ‘Up’ from Love Rance, and ‘Function’ from E40, Problem, & IAMSU, are tracks that have the same vibe as Drake’s ‘The Motto’, but took so much time to be heard by the entire country.  But every so often, a track like ‘Tell Me When To Go’ travels across the entire U.S. and gives Northern California a little bit of the massive shine it deserves.  Needless to say when I saw the video of the remix of ‘Function’ for the first time, I was glad that a track from the Bay was getting the attention songs from other regions get all the time.  Check the method.

No matter where you travel in the Bay, you can’t get away from the music of E-40.  Every time 40 puts out a record, Hip Hop enthusiasts in northern California feel the ripples for miles around.  His most recent collab with Too Short and J-Banks titled ‘Just Be you’ has a recently released video that you can check out below.

As a person originally from the east, when you go to a different area of the country, and get really immersed in their style of music, it can be a little hard to get used to.  When I landed in the Bay Area in 2005, it was the height of the “Hyphy Movement”, and they music I’d hear was like alien music, but over time I got used to it and even found some favorite songs.  The point of that entire little trip down memory land I just took is to make the point that no matter how used to Bay music I am now, I would have loved the song ‘Function’ regardless.  There’s just something about the energy of this song that transcends the place it was made and makes it just a fun song to listen to.  Check out the official video below.
