It looks like the "Ree-Invention" has begun. Shade Sheist, N.U.N.E., Knoc-Turn'Al and L.A.C. showed up to a Fresno, CA concert headlined by Ashanti and Trina, and nearly took over the entire show. It has not been confirmed whether or not they were scheduled to appear, but none of their names showed up on the radio spots that played on Fresno's Q97 station all day prior to the event. Knocturnal got things jumping with a full set and a stage full of L.A.C. affiliates. He performed all of his hits, features, and several NEW tracks from his upcoming Lp "The Way I Am." At the end of his performance, he apologized for the delay in releasing his album and assured everyone it would be dropping in the near future. Then he just stood onstage as someone came up to him and whispered something in his ear. A now amped Knoc announced to the crowd that the surprises weren't over. "My partner in crime is hear yall" he shouted as Shade Sheist crept onstage. When Knoc said "Shade Sheist!" the crowd went insane! Not exaggerating at all, but you would've thought 50 Cent had just hit the stage. There were technical problems that had Shade waiting onstage for nearly 5 minutes, but the crowd didn't seem to mind as they chanted "Fuck the soundman!" at Knocturnal's request. When the sound finally came on, the crowd erupted, and Knoc set it off with the hook from Shade's "Act Like You Know Me." Shade and N.U.N.E. then took over the front of stage performing verses from the upcoming "DP2" single "Make Me Wanna Fuck You." Shade and N.U.N.E. performed so well it's hard to note all the key parts of the show, but they did perform select cuts from the upcoming "GTA" album including the remix to 50 Cent's "If I Can't." When I say they killed it at this point, I mean they KILLED it. They both stood side to side and didn't move from this fixed position until the song ended. The crowd was literally jumping up and down from being so pumped. Shade performed "John Doe," "Wake Up," and "Where I Wanna Be" also. He had the crowd sounding like a choir as they sang along to all of his hooks. N.U.N.E. performed "Your Girl." The whole L.A.C. returned to the stage and just had a ball. At the end Shade said "I gotta do one more. I gotta leak something from my new album." A track came on that sounded like something Dr. Dre produced and Shade killed them with this new record. The crowd bounced with him and he walked up and down the stage reciting his verse. "That's my time yall" he announced as "Light's Out" played in the background. He walked offstage as the crowd screamed in satisfaction. Then... all of a sudden the intro the Shade's Informal Introduction came on, and a whole other show popped off! I don't think Shade planned this because he looked confused as he watched from the side of the stage. The soundman forgot to stop the showtape! "Str8 WestCoast" comes on and Knocturnal runs back onstage and performs it. Then Shade walks back onstage and performs it! "John Doe" comes on and YYkes (from L.A.C.) performs a remix! Then some guys from ATL jump onstage and add to it! It was crazy yall, you would've loved to see this. I did see a bunch of folks with GTA albums, so it is out there. Look for the album that looks like a videogame. It should be available for reservation on the internet in the next few days. That's all for now.
