So. E-40 is dropping two albums on the same day. It’s a bit of a feat… Nelly did it a few years back with Suit/Sweat and I think that was pretty much the end of his career. It also calls into question the quality of the work that’s being released, though with E-40 I assume this won’t be a problem. His two albums are called “revenue retrievin”, day shift and night shift respectively. I was listening to a song from…one of them…called “show me what you working with’ feat Too $hort and I noticed something interesting. There’s been a fad for quite some time now of rappers going out of their way to name the different races of girls that they’re down with.

This can be seen in Gym Class Heros “Cookie Jar”:

“I got a thing for Milano, Biscotti Italianos
And I never turn down some Oreos if you got them
Butter Pecan Puerto Rican
Or them Oatmeal Raisin Asians
Hazelnut Brazilians, Macadamia Caucasians..”

Or in Ludacris’ recent “How Low”:

“I like that French vanilla and the caramel,
But when it comes to chocolate,
I know that very well,
Asian persuasion,
No discrimination,
I love how they seen to please us,
I wanna taste them butterican pican peanut buttercups like reeses pieces..”

And of course in E-40’s song: “I **** with, señoritas and the black girls
It’s just another day in the mack’s world
I’m too short, I pimps and I plays them
I don’t give a **** if she was Indian or Asian”

I have to say..this is the first song where I’ve seen them call out the Indian girls. I think its commendable. They are a largely group ignored in terms of rapper call outs. I know, I’m bored and unemployed, but I just thought I’d point this out and congratulate both E-40 and Too $hort on the lack of discrimination when it comes to hitting on chicks. So much respect it almost makes me forgive Too $hort for his blatant and frequent exploitation of women.
