“I punch the gas, I hit the breaks!” whispers E-40 in the video for his song “Poor Man Hydraulics.” The Ambassador of the Bay recognizes that not everyone has enough gouda to install proper hydraulics on their whip. What’s a cash-strapped person to do? E-40 foreshadowed his answer in the one of the most popular songs in his last album, “Tell Me When To Go” when he said, “Gas, break, dip!”
Check out how Mr. Fonzerelli teaches the youngin’s how to get down in his latest eye-catching video “Poor Man’s Hydraulics” from his upcoming album Ball Street Journal, coming out November 25th!
The Background:
He’s a rap innovator, a business-savvy tycoon and one of the music industry’s most consistent success stories. Yes, E-40 is all those things, but he’s probably best known as a slang creator, a man whose distinctive gift of gab gets lifted and used in the rhymes of Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg and others. Now, the man with the terrific tongue returns with his most polished product to date, the imaginatively titled The Ball Street Journal.” Anything that rolls off the tongue slick and is catchy, that’s where it’s at,” E-40 explains. “The Ball Street Journal just flew off the tongue and it’s memorable. This traces everything from the beginning to now. I’ve been through hard times and I’ve been through good times. It’s like a discography of how my life has been, because I touch down on a lot of different angles on the album. It covers all angles of the game.” The Ball Street Journal will hit the streets on 11/25 on Warner Brothers / Sick Wid It Records.
