The Vallejo CA sound was started in my memory by The Click. They combine tales of slangin' rock with beats that sound like "Cutie Pie" or "Computer Love". It is straight West Coast but even Eastern rebels can groove to cuts like Bumble, Hillside, and Its All Bad. This is something different, because 40 has a way with the English language that has never been done before this. Hiphop is lacking innovators and E-40 is the definition of the word, Love him or Hate on him.
