E-40 has influenced every rapper you listen to

On the Bay Area's O.G. rapper, E-40:

What he calls his “devastating mouthpiece” fuses form and function, art and commerce. It acts as both the adhesive necessary to piece back together the damage his unorthodox writing style does to music written in 4/4 and as the force that bends his work into the tautological mobius strip that it is: a guide to the streets, written by a guy who got out thanks to his wit and his voice, which he uses in tandem to tell this same story over and again.
