Yeah he's a God not only is looking the same still the best rapper in the game 30 years running Blockbuster it's May 2020 and I still practice lookin hard in my Penny Hardaway Jersey where am I still got my sucker repellent and 40 water still got my rearview mirror vibrating
This song is so deep and ahead of its time it makes my head spin. Listen to what he's saying. Jobs like the oil refinery, I'd rather work in napa at the winery. A disappearing blue collar industry being replaced with an economy built on food, entertainment, alcohol sales, which is a two class system. you make it big or you starve. This is the voice of the first generation to grow up without any real jobs. "what's mine they done took, it's my mad at the world look". E-40 is a genius.
Such a classical song...powerful message too. This and "Tried of being stepped on" are two of some of my favourite E-40 songs...he's beyond underrated and under appreciated....
+giggs112008 E-40 is literally the most underrated rapper of all times. If you look at his catalog and singles and street credibility and relevance today and he still doesn't appear on anyone's top 10 list that my friend is the King of Underrated. He should have his picture up in Wikipedia next to Underrated.
Yes! E-40 and Scarface are the two best story tellers in the game. They seem to articulate narratives that are vivid, stories that translate well to the ears of non-Maybach owners like myself ;)
Agreed!!! And if pac loved you he would do anything for u he was loyal and for him to be in your video u Definitely had to be a real one like he was!!!

I was 7 yrs old and was there the day this video was filmed in Oakland California it was one of the funniest days of my life. I was their with my parents and sisters I really remember eating some good as fried chicken and peach cobbler that day 🥰
dam, i can never get tired listening to this old school shiet, the game will never be this good as far as how music in general was back then.miss those days
I WAS 13 .....it came out in 1993 I'm 36 now ... I used to have a boombox and put batteries in it and put the tape in there and bump the cassette tape around the park when they had a baseball game on and drinking my beer smoking my broccoli..meeting up with people... I used to play Mr. flamboyant a lot too....play real loud walking around like that....
That's my Grandmas block 00:30 64th street North Oakland. I was raised in East Oakland, but I remember summers there in the early 80's going to the store getting 'skins and now-laters from the store on the corner..... The school 40 and Pac are sitting at is Golden Gate....where my mom and all of her brothers ans sisters went in the 1950's...
+Patrick Kollmeier Ballin out of Control is the best song on this album but Practice Looking Hard is a very good concept song. Ballin out of Control really shows you what E-40 can do on the mic if he's hungry enough.
@@erroltorrington9186 You think Element of Surprise is a Classic?. Maybe because it sold a lot of records? He definitely has some heat on there but he shoulda kept it at 1 disc instead of a double. Too many songs sound formulaic and slang sounds forced. I liked Charlie Hustle and Loyalty & Betrayal a whole lot better even though they didn't sell as much.
@@dujuanjohnson5025I totally disagree, I almost tossed to the trash that hall of game CD after In a Major Way and Game Related which have aged better than most of that era west coast albums
In 1993 is was 22 years old when this came out .me and my partners was slamming this shit all day I miss those days .im 48 now .e40 was one of the first one to introduce the west bay slang .legend .
40 is related to Boots and boots used to work at UPS with Spice-1 and Mopreme which is Tupac's brother so everybody here has a history together before the rap albums.
00:30 is My grandmothers block. 64th and Vallejo St in (the old) North Oakland, before gentrification. I remember walking with my sister to get 'skins and Now-Laters from the store on the opposite corner. Blacks moved out west during the war in the 1940's..and were able to buy homes. It was a good neighborhood until the 1970's...and then the 1980's...and we all know the history from there... So much history...better yet, OUR story shown here. That's why this is one of my favorite videos of all time. Not to mention the fact that the incomparable Tupac Shakur was in this....as well as Yuck and Num, CnH, Dru, Spice, The Mosie, Money B and Boots from the COUP (Who inspired the song)....
The good old days also way less people man those were them days man now it’s nothing more but fake shit almost everybody is only after money these days those people have zero Character , the good old days RIP PAC 👊🏽
"Church" , the Coup was so underated. Remember having their tape too. "Kill my landlord". This video was so dope to see 2pac in it & Boots from the Coup. 1 luv mane
I remember watchin this vid on "The Box"....they would charge ya 2$ or something on ya phone bill....put ya request in n played ya vid.... this joint right here n "Tha Murda Show"... MC Eiht n Spice 1... used ta stay in heavy rotation...
I remember hanging out at this chicks house back in the early 90’s when I was in Junior High... I used her house telephone and ordered like 25 videos. Her parents was made when they got their telephone bill! 🤣
@kinstube You right this song is about 19 yrs old...Dam you just hit me with a hard truth, it has been that long since this song came out. Where did the time go? And I;ll still take this type 90's rap over anything put out today....

He got his hands on everything. Didn’t he own a fat burger in Vallejo?
I think he meant auto parts store 🤭
