In a recent interview on CBS Mornings, E-40 expressed his concerns about the current state of hip-hop. He believes that there is a lack of creativity, with many artists resorting to copycatting and repeating the same ideas over and over again. He argues that instead of mixing things up and exploring different subjects, artists seem to be stuck on one theme - bragging about their wealth and success.
However, E-40 sees himself as a storyteller, someone who explores different facets of life, including the repercussions and consequences of certain actions. He embraces the positive and negative aspects of life and aims to educate his listeners through his music. In turn, he believes that artists today are solely focusing on material possessions and shallow topics.
E-40 then spoke about his motivation to create impactful music, explaining that it stems from his fans. He recognizes that many of them yearn for the return of real music, which is both creative and smart. E-40 firmly believes that he and his fellow artists are more than capable of exploring different subjects and delivering diverse content. You can hear more above.
