E-40 AND TOO $HORT - HISTORY FUNCTION MUSIC
Where do I start? E-40 and Too $hort on the same album together for 17 tracks and more? This is heaven! The two bay area legends came together for this project, after working together on songs on each others projects for the last 10 years and more.
History: Function Music starts of with the quirky THIS SHIT POUND.
SLIDE THROUGH is straight gutter funky. It has that trademark bay hyphy sound ready to make you bob your head. 40 is such a skillful rhymer, you can't mess with dude. Always entertaining the listener. Too $hort on the other does not dissapoint at all. Tyga rips the final verse to pieces just like he can.
For two dudes over 40 years of age they are really giving the young guns a run for the money when it comes to good quality rap music. When it comes to 808's and deep bone rattling bass, SMOKE THAT SHIT does the job. A constant bass makes the dick hard right here! Insane I tell ya.
$hort just parlays and shows us why he was born to mack. On LET'S HAVE A PARTY 40 shows why he is such a great storyteller. Attention to detail is king here.
Veteran producer Rick Rock whips up the riot inciting BOUT MY MONEY. With a simple moog sounding baseline and chanting it will surely make your party get out of hand, R&B crooner Jeremih Spits a verse on here.
E-40's son Droop E provides the soundscape for the haunting SAY I with its funny hook. The beat slams and repeat playing is a must. This track is all about driving drunk (DUI). It features Wiz Khalifa who surprisingly murders the track pieces. A must listen!
WEST COAST SHIT (featuring Ice Cube) is another quirky sounding beat by Tone Bone of League of Starz gets the party knocking. Quirky is good, not a too serious track. Don't forget the west coast throws the best parties.
Pure bouncing snares and dirty bass over here. Music strictly for the trunk.
Producer Decadez gets featured prominently on this project, TOASTED is one of them. Thumping bass again and again. To some it will take some time to get used to the bare bones production but its does the job.
On the final track CALI the two pay homage to the golden state. Reminds me a little of California Love with the vocoder in the hook.
All in all this is a go!
Remember its all about the beat!
