"Tell Me When to Go" is the first single from E-40's BME/Warner Bros. debut, My Ghetto Report Card. Keak da Sneak is also featured on the track. It was produced by Lil Jon, and one of the first singles to kick off the hyphy movement on a national level and popularized the phrase "ghost ride the whip".[1] The song reached number 35 in the U.S. and eventually was certified Platinum by the RIAA on February 2, 2024.[2] The song first premiered online on the MySpace.com homepage and it was the first hip hop single to premiere online before being released.
The song samples "Dumb Girl" by Run-DMC.
The song is featured in the 2007 Xbox 360/PlayStation 3 video game Def Jam: Icon. E-40 is a playable character in the video game and provides his own voice and likeness. It also appeared in “The Fugitive”, a season 4 episode of the scripted comedy series Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
