Video description: Relive the era when music had a message, when words sacrificed their giver's soul, when art wasn't an "effect" but rather "affected" those it touched. Relive HIPHOP period. The Real. Inspired by the classic GrandMaster Flash & The Furious Five song "The Message", "GHETTO" seeks to revisit the same pain and despair and see if a true NYC b-boy can find a little bit of hope. Shot on a shoestring budget, this video is quite the buzz in the NYC-Greater Metro area. Shot and edited by Stoney XL of the famed HOODLIFE MOVEMENT Hoodlife Cyphas Street DVDs, as well as many other street dvds like CRACK, Cocaine City and BOSS UP DVD. This video proves a million dollar performance trumps a million dollar budget any day.

E-40: "The Making of the 'Tell Me When To Go' Video"

This is a behind-the-scenes look at the video shoot for the first single from My Ghetto Report Card, E-40's soon-to-be released 12th album. "Tell Me When To Go" features Keak Da Sneak, and was recently shot by Lil' Jon and Director, Bernard Gourley (Lyfe Jennings, Three 6 Mafia, Beanie Siegle). The video introduces the world to the Hyphy movement in the Bay. "Hyphy music is like Crunk, but in a more up-tempo way. The culture is a way of life for Bay kids. We got the side shows, the muscle cars, we ghost ride the whip, we got the invisible driving, the music, the go dumb get stupid dances, we just actin' a fool expressing ourselves," explains E-40. Thousands of people showed up at the shoot including just about every rapper in the bay, members of the Hieroglyphics crew, and members of The BME Click including Lil' Jon, Lil' Scrappy, and Bohagon. "We were smokin' up the block, turning donuts and figure 8's. We had the hyphy train crackin'. Just imagine 300 cars riding back to back after a party with every car, van, camper or truck with all they doors open, shakin' their dreads, showing their grill, sporting stunna shade glasses, dancing on top of the roofs and hoods of the whip, campaigning like the president, like a big parade. It's just a whole bunch of super energy. You gotta see it," explains E-40.
