E-40 Delivers a Massive West Coast Showcase With “Turning My Money Over”


If you listened to 40 straight E-40 songs this weekend, you deserve a handshake from someone with golden gloves on.

E-40 has officially gone completely overboard, because Turning My Money Over is a 40-track project. Yes, FORTY. The album is being marketed as a quadruple album, with the songs divided into four 10-track parts. I’m going to be completely honest: There’s no way I’m expecting anybody with a functioning brain to listen to all 40 tracks in one sitting. That’s a full work shift.

Still, I have to give E-40 credit because the project sounds exactly like what you’d want from him. The production is drenched in Cali flavor, while E-40 spends the album giving game through his trademark off-kilter flows, animated deliveries, and rambunctious, boss-like personality. Somehow, despite the ridiculous tracklist, the album actually flows pretty well.

A huge number of guests also help keep the E-40 overload in check. Juvenile, Larry June, AZ Chike, LaRussell, Busta Rhymes, Anderson .Paak, Killer Mike, Too Short, and Al B. Sure! are among the artists who pop up throughout the project. Their different styles give the album some much-needed breathing room.

My favorite moments include “Night In The Bay,” “Sumn Ain’t Right,” “Game Been Missing,” and “Play If You Want.” If you love West Coast rap, there’s plenty here to dig through, even if you might need a vacation afterward.
