We spent some time on the red carpet at last night’s MTV Video Music Awards. It’s difficult to interview Shakira and James Blunt when they’re running past you, but Bay Area rapper E-40 was kind enough to answer our stupid questions.
Dude’s got so many projects (check out MySpace), but we’re most looking forward to E-40′s Dictionary Book of Slang, Vol. 1. We’re Ballaholics.

HE RULES
Good stuff, got me laughing.
the man at the liquor store luuuuuuuuuuv me, he’s damn near ready to huuuuuuuug me.
12 years ago i never would have thought e-40 would be a VIP at the mtv awards.
maybe in 10 years del and the heiroglyphs will be VIPs at the mtv awards.
here’s to hoping.
Did he wear his stunna glasses at night?
He lives out in the wilderness.
Ah, so now you’re doing interviews Scott.
Just start vlogging already, even if it means you don’t show your face and use a puppet instead. W
Best use of “smell” in conversation since Nelson Muntz.
yes, yes! I SEE IT!
“I smell you.” Awesomeness, I love you scott!
Awwesome.
nice. i’m in the background with the headset on…i can’t believe i didn’t realize that i brought e-40 to scott at stereogum. go mtv interning.
18 dummy
i’ve been a devoted stereogum reader for a couple years now, but now you’re starting to annoy me. the interview was bugging me. snakes on a plane?! um, wasn’t that a few weeks ago?
then i watched the rapture video and i realized you were in the front row with a camera filming the whole thing so you could post it on your blog and it made me lose some respect. go easy “scott”, you’re putting it on a little thick.
nonetheless could somebody explain fergie’s london bridge metaphor to me? cause i’m loose on a goose on that also…
oh yeah and “shane” maybe if “scott” would have been filming it from the back row, would that have given him more “street cred” for you?!!
ghost ride the whip! ghost ride the whip!
put ya stunna shades on! put ya stunna shades on!
god bless e-40 for embodying cool.
