Its never been a question of rapping ability for 40, but the beats fell off a bit after In A Major Way....thats all. Therefore, everything after IAMW is <.
Exactly. In A Major Way just had a lot more songs that I like than his other releases. Tha Hall of Game had a few good songs. Element of Surprise, for being a double disc, I expected to like way more songs than I actually do. Charlie Hustle just seemed more like a compilation to me, good album, though. Loyalty & Betrayal, I think I like more songs on this album than on Eelement. After Loyalty, not much I can say for the albums, they're alright, but I feel E-40 could have definitley done way better on them albums.
Just my opinion...
