Looks like ESPN has taken their relationship with Lil Wayne to the next level. If you remember, rapper Lil Wayne has been featured on shows like First Take and Around the Horn in recent months. The response from his appearance on ESPN was good enough for ESPN to offer him his own sports blog on their site. Lil Wayne returned the favor by getting an ESPN tattoo on his arm (see above).
Well CBS, I really wanted to post the interview video directly from your site, even using your embeddable player but alas, it was no where to be found. All you had posted on your site was the preview videos for Katie Couric's "All Access" Grammy Special and none of the actual interviews, even though it aired last night.
Sorry to say CBS but you really missed the boat on this one. Since you failed to post the Lil Wayne interview video, someone else put it on YouTube and its gaining significant traffic. Next time try and be on top of things. You could have made some money off advertisements with such a popular video. Oh well. Better luck next time.
Earl Stevens (born November 15, 1967) best known by his stage name E-40, is a Bay Area rapper, part of the Bay Area rap group The Click and founder of Bay Area hip-hop record label Sick Wid It Records. The "40" in "E-40" was chosen by Earl as a reference to "40s" - 40 ounce bottles of malt liquor. The "E" was simply derived from Earl Stevens's first name. After the release of The Click's first album Down and Dirty, E-40's local solo debut was released.
E-40 worked almost exclusively with Bay Area rappers until 1998, when he appeared on the albums of Southern rappers. E-40 jumped into the limelight in 2006 with his single "Tell Me When To Go" from his album My Ghetto Report Card. From 2004 to 2008, he hosted a weekly radio program on San Francisco hip-hop station KMEL titled E-Feezy Radio, showcasing Bay Area hip hop music.
After a talent show at Grambling State University, E-40 and his cousin B-Legit decided to attempt a career in rap. They moved back to Vallejo and teamed up with D-Shot, E-40's brother, to form the group Most Valuable Players. E-40's gospel singing uncle (Saint Charles") helped them put out the record. E-40's sister, Suga T, was then added to the group to form The Click.
