E-40 Facts

1. While studying at the Grambling State University, he took part in a talent competition that convinced him to pursue his rap career.
2. Even before he was signed up by a major record label, he had built his small empire in the Bay Area by selling his mixtapes independently.
3. By the time he got enrolled at the Grambling State University, he was looking to get out of his neighborhood (notoriously known as Hillside and infamous for the crime) as he was worried he might end up in jail or kill someone.

7. In their early days, The Click members and their families used to sidestep music distributors completely by enlisting the help of liquor stores and barbershops to sell their records in exchange for a commission.
8. E-40 and his The Click group members formed their own record label Sick Wid It to sell their music and even enlisted his uncle Charles Thurman to create a logo for the label, which featured a grinning hog feasting on money filled in the trough.
