YouTube Description
as posted by the channel--------
In the latest clip, E-40 recalls one of his most memorable 2Pac stories from between 1994-1995. E-40 remembered 2Pac meeting him to record, but due to issues in the area, E-40's crew was heavily armed. As 2Pac walked in, he noticed all of the guns lying around and proceeded to pull two "thumpers" out of his pants and started writing.
E-40 then described signing a multi-million dollar deal with Jive Records after the success of The Mailman. According to E-40, the deal was the first of its kind and became worth more over time. DJ Vlad and E-40 discussed the artwork for In a Major Way and the significance of the Presidential Rolex to Bay Area culture. Further explaining the album's artwork, E-40 said he considers himself a "curb commentator" before talking about more early 2Pac collaborations.
