[DISCUSSION] E-40 - My Ghetto Report Card (15 Years Later)

Posted: 18 Mar 2021 11:25 AM PDT

My Ghetto Report Card is the ninth studio album by American rapper E-40. It was released on March 14, 2006, by Warner Bros. Records, Asylum Records, BME Recordings and Sick Wid It Records. My Ghetto Report Card was supported by two singles: "Tell Me When to Go" featuring Keak Da Sneak, and "U and Dat" featuring T-Pain and Kandi Girl.

Background

E-40, a rapper born in Vallejo, California, released eight solo albums prior to My Ghetto Report Card dating back to 1993. In the early 1990s, he was part of the Vallejo rap group The Click.[1] Thanks to regional popularity of his independently released single "Captain Save a Hoe", E-40 got his first major label signing with Jive Records in 1994.[1] By the late 1990s and early 2000s, E-40 began doing guest features on Southern rappers' albums, such as MP da Last Don by Master P, My Homies by Scarface, and Kings of Crunk by Lil Jon and the East Side Boyz.[1]

Recording

With E-40 as executive producer, the album features production from Bosko, Lil Jon, and Rick Rock among others.[2][3][4] Critics noted the influence of Southern crunk sound. For AllMusic, David Jeffries remarked: "Lil Jon seems to be adapting to the Bay more than E-40 is going South." Ryan Dombal of Entertainment Weekly said the album "speeds up crunk's creeping scurrilousness while toning down its violent undercurrents."[5]

In an interview with MTV News, E-40 described the title as a reflection of having "straight A's across the board" and "d[oing] nothing foul in the game" in his music career.[6]

The Guardian music critic Angus Batey described opening track "Yay Area" as "one of the handful of truly experimental, daring and generally aurally flabbergasting rap tracks released so far this century" in a 2015 profile of E-40.[7]

Impact

Due to the success of "Tell Me When to Go" and hyphy-themed songs on radio and MTV, the East Bay Express and Oakland Tribune speculated that My Ghetto Report Card would become E-40's mainstream breakout album.[21][22] By May 2006, Jim Harrington of the Oakland Tribune observed that a concert sponsored by local radio station Wild 94.9 "crowned E-40 as the new king of hip-hop."[23] Writing for the Oakland-based East Bay Express, Rachel Swan listed the album among the best of 2006 and called it "the most elegant in a spate of hyphy albums released this year."[24]

[DISCUSSION] Action Bronson - Dr. Lector (10 Years Later)

Posted: 18 Mar 2021 10:30 AM PDT

Dr. Lecter is the debut studio album by the American rapper Action Bronson. It was released on March 15, 2011. The album's title refers to Dr. Hannibal Lecter, a character in the psychological-thriller film The Silence of the Lambs. The album is entirely produced by Tommy Mas. Almost all of the beats on Dr. Lecter were made with breakbeat samples. After hearing this album, the producer Statik Selektah collaborated with Bronson on an album titled Well Done, released on November 22, 2011.

RYM Review

Dipping into my hip-hop bag, you should know there is usually a specific sound I go for. Does it bump, is there groove...what does that voice sound like, and does he or she bring it.

I haven't been in this game for a while. Hip-hop has fallen off big time since its golden age of the 90's. Henceforth, usually it is the underground artists nowadays that still tend to keep things true to yesteryear. The days of my youth.

Dr. Lecter is an album by a complete unknown artist to me, but dipping into hip-hop, I kinda dug the cover. I usually have a problem with rappers of the caucasian persuasion, Action Bronson changed that perception for me...only this one time, so let's not get too crazy. Fun raps, vulgar raps, swag raps, and old school beats and samples.

Production is raw, songs are short and sweet, album is 40 minutes. As rap albums should be. Rap can get boring pretty quick (so let's keep it manageable), but this whole album is quite a fun experience. High groove, raw, and rough production keeps my feet firmly planted beneath the surface.
