50 Cent San Francisco Concert Review



As reported by Carla Selvin / SF Weekly

50 Cent
@The Warfield
June 3, 2010

Better than: Any sideshow in the Bay Area

Hanging behind the stage at 50 Cent's show last night at the Warfield was a monstrous self-portrait of 50 emerging from a cityscape, with lava pouring out of his mouth and eyes. This apocalyptic stage setup mirrored the testosterone-fueled music that 50 Cent is all about.

But before the scrim was raised, a silhouette of the 34-year-old holding a laser-pointing gun stood center stage for a while, which caused the audience to fall to pieces, screaming.

The hot-rod rapper finally appeared last night in excellent form, smiling from ear to ear. "I have one question for you," 50 asked the exuberant audience: "Where the ladies at?"

50 ran through his massive list of hits slowly over the course of the evening, saving favorites such as "Candy Shop" and "Magic Stick" until the bitter end. This left the audience in screaming shambles.

At one point, the hulking rapper flashed a knowing grin. "I know you all love 50," he said, "but I know you all love 40!" All of a sudden, the Bay Area's own E-40 stepped onstage and busted out a version of "Tell Me When To Go" that probably would've made Mac Dre turn over in his grave. The audience sang along and couldn't have been more enthusiastic.

Later on in his set, 50 showed off another special guest. Too Short sprung out from the curtains and gave a whirlwind performance of his hit "Blow the Whistle" that sent everyone for a loop. Then the Oakland rapper disappeared almost as suddenly as he arrived.

50 Cent changed outfits a handful of times during his set, and each time he came out wearing something new he threw at least one article of clothing into the crowd. In turn, women in the audience started throwing lingerie and brassieres onstage, which 50 put in the back pocket of his jeans.

The shared respect and love between 50 cent and the audience was astounding. To a lot of fans, 50 Cent is a godlike figure, having overcome a rough adolescence on the streets of Queens to become a multimillionaire and celebrity. Some kids in front even brought copies of 50's new self-help book The 50th Law, hoping they could score his signature.

The good vibes in the Warfield last night were infectious, with star-struck fans singing along to every word coming out of the rapper's mouth. But it was clear to everyone who was having the most fun -- 50 himself.

E-40 Releases 2 Separate Albums In One Day



E-40 - "Revenue Retrievin' The Day Shift" and "Revenue Retrievin' The Night Shift on Heavy on the Grind/EMI arrives March 30.

via the press release

We know him as Charlie Hustle, 40 Fonzarelli, The Ballatician, Mr. Flamboyant, 40 Belafonte to E-Feezy, however E-40 is above all, the Ambassador of The Bay Area. Set to release his thirteenth and fourteenth album on the same date, the greatest game Spitta of all time sets his record straight March 30, 2010 with the release of two separate albums entitled "Revenue Retrievin' The Day Shift" and "Revenue Retrievin' The Night Shift." Going to work with him, Hip-Hop's finest profiles, Snoop Dogg, Gucci Mane, Too Short and Mistah Fab punch in along with the melodies of Bobby V, Jazze Pha, YV and J. Valentine on both day and night shifts. With a total of 38 brand new tracks, E-40 and his Bay Area conglomerate B-Legit, Messy Marv, Dem Hoodstarz, Ya Boy, The DB'z, Turf Talk, Clyde Carson, Husalah and Droop-E lyrically engineer a top shelf production.

Northern California is recognized geographically as the Bay Area. Over the years, E-40 has served as the headliner of notoriety while creating a musical space of his own. In addition, he has gained international exposure for introducing new music genres to Hip-Hop music in addition to threading new terminology such as "Slaps" and "Thumpers" used to describe the sound. As his beat goes on, the rap veteran recently made the savvy decision to sign an independent label deal with Heavy On The Grind Entertainment/EMI owned by Earl Stevens Jr. aka Droop-E who is not only a hit making producer but the son of E-40. "I'm excited about this album; it's been a year since I dropped "The Ball Street Journal." It marks an important independent business venture for me. This way, I am able to go back to the basics and run my own campaign." says E-40. "We are thrilled to have the opportunity to provide commercial services for E-40. He has had a massive impact on Hip-Hop in the Bay area and beyond and we're extremely excited to partner with him on the next phase of his career", Dominic Pandiscia, Senior Vice President & General Manager - EMI Label Services. With the heightened attention towards the release of the two albums, the label has assembled a high-level security team to eliminate a premature leak of the album.

E-40 'Revenue Retrievin'' New Release Out November 24



According to Bay Area blogger Coolhand Luke at 38th Notes, E-40 will release 'Revenue Retrievin', his 13th release independently through EMI/Caroline.

A track with Young Jeezy And B-Legit entitled 'Get Money' will be included on the release, which I speculate was recorded around August when the America's Most Wanted Tour made the rounds in the Bay Area.
