Fans of hard, sparse beats and hyphy drawl will find a lot to like here. Overall, E-40’s lyrics are as crude and entertaining as ever, and guest appearances by fellow veterans Too Short and Snoop Dogg - as well as a couple dozen other rappers - keep things moving. “Spend the Night” is the most drastic departure, and a successful one at that, which ties together Björk samples and hood swagger with a buttery hook by Droop-E. If you accept that this is a case of quantity over quality and sort through the filler, the slow-moving (practically screwed) “Over the Stove,” comically profane “Ahhhh Sh*t!,” and instantly memorable “How I’m Feelin’ Right Now” are solid thumpers, showing an apt return to form. E-40 :: Revenue Retrievin - Night Shift:: Heavy on the Grind/EMI Music as reviewed by Steve Flash Juon The companion album to E-40s 'Revenue Retrievin - Day Shift,' the late night hustle picks up on 'Night Shift' right where the former left off. Tedium starts to seep in by the halfway point, and considering that 38 songs were written in just over a year, it becomes obvious that not much fat was trimmed. Lil Jon’s production would have been a welcome addition to make this truly club-oriented, but instead, E-40 returns to the sounds of his roots, with simple arrangements and skull-pounding kicks. As an old-timer (who has proudly served over 20 years in the rap game), E-40 seems a little out of his element here, spitting Luther Campbell-style pickup lines “Make that booty earthquake…left cheek, right cheek, let me see it vibrate” (“Show Me What U Workin’ Wit’”) and “Stilettos & Jeans” sounds too ‘90s to keep up with current trends (rhymes like “you say you are a cougar, f*ck it, I’m a lion” are telling of his age bracket). Since both releases revolve around related material and similar-sounding beats, it’s hard to consider these as two completely separate concepts, but Night Shift focuses a little more closely on songs for the clubs. Like Revenue Retrievin’: Day Shift, E-40’s Revenue Retrievin’: Night Shift was a 19-track album released on his son’s label Heavy on the Grind Entertainment on March 30, 2010.
