Music Capsule Review

Rappers' Ball (1996)

Credits

Lead Performance: E-40; Genres: Hip-Hop/Rap, R&B

By Dimitri Ehrlich

Few emcees can claim as distinctive a style as the Bay Area's E-40. With soulful vocal assists by Jodeci's K-Ci and additional raps by neighborhood pal Too Short, E-40 weaves together such diverse pop-culture references as Ross Perot and Gianni Versace. The recycled funk production is underwhelming, but E-40's frenetic patter is electrifying.
