The most startling aspect of the album is E-40's unique rapping style; with his mile-a-minute rhymes, he makes Onyx sound like a bunch of slackers. His lyrics go by at such a breakneck pace that, while one is able to glean the general intent of the lyrics, his voice becomes another instrument, taking a place in the mix that's more physical than cerebral. He's pretty prolific, too, as evidenced by the 24 cuts spread out over ELEMENTS OF SURPRISE's two discs. Too Short, Master P and others make guest appearances on these funk-inflected tracks, but this is E-40's show all the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rap \u0026amp; Hip-Hop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 8\/11\/1998\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"E-40","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44589101744361,"sku":"BCJBT9-AEAJ-00","price":22.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/products\/e-40-the-element-of-surprise_P7P1I.jpg?v=1737909015","url":"https:\/\/www.vibinvinyl.com\/products\/e-40-the-element-of-surprise","provider":"Vibin' Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
