This weekend, Too $hort and E-40 are set to square up for the Verzuz Battle Of The Bay, and in honor of the upcoming duel the pair joined forces to release the double album Ain’t Gon Do It / Terms And Conditions. With one side centered around $hort and the other on Forty Water, the selection process was a tad overwhelming to start. Yet something about the unexpected stylistic pairing of 40 and Freddie Gibbs (not to mention Larry June and KiD3rd) seemed impossible to deny, and as such “Dapper Don” emerged as an early standout.
Fueled by a futuristic synth beat from Scoop Deville, E-40 sets it off with an animated flow like only he can, taking a moment to pace himself before letting loose his signature brand of verbal gymnastics. Though capable of dexterity himself, Freddie Gibbs opts for a more measured pace, though one that’s closer to speed-walking than a casual stroll. The contrast in deliveries makes “Dapper Don” a unique sort of banger, especially when you throw in some bars from Larry June, who closes this one out on a high note.
E-40 – Dapper Don (ft. Freddie Gibbs, Larry June & KiD3RD) (prod. Scoop DeVille)

[Pre-Chorus: Kid3rd]
Bro, way I carry myself, I don’t never have no problems
Way I use my mind, bet I always got some dollars
Like Sonic with these gold rings on, watch me power up
Kung-fu style too weak, you can’t counter us
[Chorus: Kid3rd]
Dapper Don, I’m so Dapper Don for the cameras
Dapper Don, I’m so Dapper Don for the cameras
Dapper Don, I’m so Dapper Don for the cameras
Dapper Don, I’m so Dapper Don for the cameras
[Verse 1: E-40]
Dapper Don, Dapper Don for the cameras
Smokin’ lye, smokin’ lye, blowin’ cannabis
Sometime it’s Dior (‘Or), sometime I wear Prada
Bust your head like a piñata, your medulla oblongata
D-uh-diamonds glow in the dark (In the dark)
Tote that iron like Tony Stark (Tony Stark)
Gotta have money, have heart (Money, heart)
My b-uh-bite is stronger than my bark (Than my bark)
Tell your bitch stay up out my business, bro, she toxic (Toxic)
She outta pocket for gettin’ outta pocket with a nigga with fat pockets (Pockets)
Free all of my comrades in the prison (Prison)
In the system they appreciate this ism (Ism)
Check your chick, mayne, restrain her
My nigga Cedric told me not to entertain her
You can’t hurt my feelings, bitch, ’cause I ain’t got no feelings (Feelings)
Don’t you know I’m nigga-rich? Bitch, I can buy this building
[Pre-Chorus: Kid3rd]
Bro, way I carry myself, I don’t never have no problems
Way I use my mind, bet I always got some dollars
Like Sonic with these gold rings on, watch me power up
Kung-fu style too weak, you can’t counter us
[Chorus: Kid3rd]
Dapper Don, I’m so Dapper Don for the cameras
Dapper Don, I’m so Dapper Don for the cameras
Dapper Don, I’m so Dapper Don for the cameras
Dapper Don, I’m so Dapper Don for the cameras
[Verse 2: Freddie Gibbs]
Ayy, bitch, I kung-fu, karate chop a brick, I’m whippin’ batter up
Got bitches at the table butt-naked baggin’ that package up
My Backwood got high octane unleaded, bitch, I stay gassin’ up
My bitch was trippin’, I snapped that Wagen, back in that Acura
Yeah, just ’cause you blow me you don’t own me, lil’ bitch, don’t say shit
I flipped your ho and took the proceeds, send a bitch on a trip
They say I rap just like the OGs, flow like ’96
I ain’t gon’ cap, my shit too gangsta for Obama playlist
Put that on a saint, on the gang, a nigga can never squeal (Yeah)
Snitches out here signin’ these plea agreements like record deals
Everybody’s claimin’ they solid, bitch, you was never real
Sittin’ on my yayo synthetic, I got that whip appeal
[Pre-Chorus: Kid3rd]
Bro, way I carry myself, I don’t never have no problems
Way I use my mind, bet I always got some dollars
Like Sonic with these gold rings on, watch me power up
Kung-fu style too weak, you can’t counter us
[Chorus: Kid3rd]
Dapper Don, I’m so Dapper Don for the cameras
Dapper Don, I’m so Dapper Don for the cameras
Dapper Don, I’m so Dapper Don for the cameras
Dapper Don, I’m so Dapper Don for the cameras
[Verse 3: Larry June]
I talk shit and make money, mack hoes, take trips
Orange juice in the whip, OT for the flip (Flip)
Mackin’ (Uh), everything I do hundred percent (‘Cent)
Stackin’ (Stackin’), need some more Ms in this bitch (Never)
Hoes (Hoes), man, I got too many of them shits (Shits)
Shows (Shows), I ain’t gotta do ’em, still rich (Rich)
Yup (Man), tried to give ’em game, they ain’t listen (Uh)
No (Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy), I’ll never, ever be a witness (Never)
Numbers (Numbers, numbers), doin’ circles in the 50 (Yee, yee)
Groovin’ (Uh), damn right I keep it wavy (Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy)
Healthy, bitch, I don’t need Denny’s (Good job)
Try me (Uh), nigga, it can get tricky
[Pre-Chorus: Kid3rd]
Bro, way I carry myself, I don’t never have no problems
Way I use my mind, bet I always got some dollars
Like Sonic with these gold rings on, watch me power up
Kung-fu style too weak, you can’t counter us
[Chorus: Kid3rd]
Dapper Don, I’m so Dapper Don for the cameras
Dapper Don, I’m so Dapper Don for the cameras
Dapper Don, I’m so Dapper Don for the cameras
Dapper Don, I’m so Dapper Don for the cameras
