I was part of the cult following, but only as far as listening to his music. I wasn't there. biggrin

The Coliseum was packed. It was uncut raw rudeness.
Promoter Bill Graham had to come out and try to calm those yahoos down.
I really felt bad for him that day. neutral

well to be fair...Prince was booed off the stage too. I'm betting if one of these other acts on the bill showed up at a hip hop festival, they'd be booed too..or worse. props to Fiddy for even laying the gig, and i don't even like him. nuthin wrong with trying to expand your base.


1st of all do u know why P was booed off stage? I was there 1 will tell u the truth on that story on another thread. Don't believe everything u read. It had nothing 2 do with his performance.

Not with the type of commercial success that 50 pesos has had. This was either '80 or '81 - Prince was still only what critics commonly called a cult artist.

Hello theAudience, I worked that sold out event at the LA Coliseum; it had nothing 2 do with Prince performance. They came 2 c Mick Jagger and the Stones and P happened 2 be the last act b4 Mick came on stage. Remember these people had baked in the sun from early morning until after 8:00-8:30 pm that night. They felt getting P off stage would bring in Mick and the Stones. I will post this story real soon to set the record straight. The media really blew that story up!

Dizzee Rascal's the shit! mad I highly doubt The Streets even considers hisself hardcore. I dig them both, they put a lil twist on most of the banality that exists in hip-hop at the moment.

Hey there pennylover,

My perspective has never been that Prince was booed because of his performance.
My impression has always been that this particular crowd could not wrap their beer saturated heads around Prince's musical style which was too far afield from the trio of Thorogood/J.Geils/Stones.

Question. Why didn't they boo The J.Geils Band or George Thorogood (who was super-boring) if all they wanted to hear were The Stones? And if i'm remembering this correctly, didn't they follow Prince? The standard hierarchy in a multi-act concert is that the less you're known the earlier in the show you have to play. Now this has been quite a while ago however I could swear that at least The J.Geils Band went on right before the Stones.

You have to give Bill Graham and the Stones credit for giving Prince the shot though.
Graham was really good at putting rather divergent acts together at his Fillmore East/West venues. The Stones gave Soulive (the only instrumental act to ever open for them) a similar shot back East during their most recent tour.

So the Stones/J.Geils/Thorogood/Prince bill would not be totally out of character for a Graham produced concert. But this show was not in either of the more sophisticated east/west Fillmore locations. This show was in the all front and no back, full-frontal phoniness that is L.A.
This So-Cal crowd was not about to participate in the call and response of "Jack U Off" the Dirty Mind/Controversy era Prince tried to initiate. I can't imagine what hearing 100,000 people (minus myself and 3 friends) shouting "FUCK YOU" as their response felt like.

In any case, enough of my blathering. Can't wait to hear your story.

From NME.com:


50 CENT was dramatically booed off stage tonight at the CARLING WEEKEND: READING festival (August 29).

The rapper was pelted with a shower of plastic bottles from the angry crowd, and even had a camping chair thrown at him, forcing the star to walk off after just twenty five minutes of his Main Stage set.

50 and his G-Unit crew were hit by a rain of bottles as they came onstage, and they even started to pick up the missiles and hurl them back towards the front rows.

Chants of “50 Cent is a wanker” were heard and the group were jeered and heckled throughout the short appearance.

Attempting to placate the thousands of people, the rapper said: “We’re just all here to have fun”, and even taunted them by challenging them to all put their middle fingers in the air.

One festival goer told NME.COM: “What was he even doing up there? It was the worst thing I’ve ever seen.”

After playing hits including ’In Da Club’, ’21 Questions’ and ’P.I.M.P’, 50 thanked the crowd and promptly walked off.

The star started his set at 8.10pm, twenty minutes earlier than scheduled, and left at 8.35pm. According to the stage times, he was due to play between 8.30pm and 9.30pm.

Apart from The Streets, 50 was the only rap act on today’s Main Stage bill on a day dominated by hard rock bands, including Placebo, Lostprophets and Dropkick Murphys.

The Rasmus also suffered a similar fate when they walked offstage today after being pelted by plastic bottles.



wave clapping This is the best news that I heard so far. What makes this asswipe think that everybody is going to be tolerating his mumbling ass. It's unfortunate that music has lost quality.

clapping I hate this idiot. I don't understand why "rap" acts like this get airplay when there are others more deserving. If this crap is the current state of hip-hop, that's pathetic.

I always wondered if Redman was talking about the now famous 50 cent in this song. This track came out in 96, in the linear notes for "Muddy Waters" Red's surrounded by a crew of big dudes and there's one guy in there who resembles 50. shrug


Yo, hard beats like this keep my mentality raw
I G off C 4 lyrics to blow off them Lex door
My tex-ture be the kind that explore
MC's then blow em out, metaphor after metaphor
I'm more wetter than your boy bigger
So how you figure you can fuck with this rap unemploy nigga
I should own a fly bitch house and a Benz
But I got chickenheads criminals and broke friends
that love to get in, keep the seventeen spinnin
Pull out from my jaw linin, commence to split end
Brains and body parts that motion couldn't picture
Cause when I'm shittin niggaz hit mo decks than a skipper
Mr and Mrs Howe, MaryAnne and Ginger
Gilligan, you need the Professor to take the rigger
waters out I got orders to kill em softly
I wouldn't leave a trace if I died and police chalked me
Who's the Boss G you better radio the walkie talkie
For the Fatal Attract MC's that stalk me
Got a big dick and your bitch click
When I flip this I got more work than a olympic gymnast
Bust it, I cut the mustard, on any track
Milkier than Similak when I'm next up to bat
( Redman is on the mic and I'ma...
Dope motherfucker, yeah, you best ax somebody -- Snoop)

(Yesh yesh y'all, and you don't stop -- Sermon 8X)

Fuck the talk I walk whatever I claim to do
Knock a mule on her ass and turn her pussy black and blue
You couldn't run up if your Fighter was Virtua
I'm a round-the-clock lyricist, I sleep in my work boots
It's a Thin Line Between Love and Hate
It's a thin line between the trigger and the finger of a thirty-eight
Deaths by far, my rap repatoire
be the art of murderin makin it hard for you to spar
We can chill and puff the ganja, but don't be mad when the
Funk Doctor Spock smoke it with your baby mama
Get off my dick and tell your bitch to come here
Male groupies gettin shaky when I come from the rear
Hah, that get on your nerve neighbor that play the
music loud as fuck three in the mornin off a paper
With mad Zul in the L-S-C
In the downtown area, scannin the perimeter
All my boos with the open toed shoes
If you ain't gettin that pussy eaten right, let me show you
Then let you taste these, this Brown Fox said
Ain't No Nigga like the -- Funk Doctor Spock G

(Yesh yesh y'all, and you don't stop -- Sermon 4X)

As I dive into the crowd
I wanna see who the fuck gettin loud
Who da fuck runnin off at dey mouf
I let my nigga Fifty Cent knock that ass out
Word bond, bitches talkin bout pourin out Cristal
and Dom P they better stick to Sade
Blackin out whylin, smackin out weaves
Break niggaz cheap ass chains and medallions
You're just a part time sucker in the game
Shit is real motherfucker start namin names
And if you name my name I whoop ass like Steven Seagal
Give you Under Siege 2 without the fuckin train
Let your brains hang from the 808 bang
And if I wrecked your cipher then my Squad is to blame

(Yesh yesh y'all, and you don't stop -- Erick Sermon 12X then fades

This sounds similar to Albert in CB4 stealing Gusto's identity.


And we all know that MC Gusto was a fraud so...


... it kinda makes one wonder. hmmm
