Title: 50 Cent Boeed Of Stage
Post by: Semir on August 31, 2004, 03:19:50 AM: "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."

He was here in Belgium last week on a festival where there were all types of acts: techo, metal, punk, ska, hip-hop, etc...a bit of everything. So you know that there will be Hip-Hop fans in the audience who came to see you.
But, if you play on a festival with 90% of the audience only interested in rock...you don't really got a chance.

I guess you can blame that on the tour manager, since it's him who looks for concerts (not sure though, 'cause I don't know much about that).

Yeah, but if you put on a good show you still can get the crowd on your side, like J5 have done when they have been to UK rock festivals, and apparantly DJ Format and Abdominal went down pretty well at Reading.

Post by: Kill on August 31, 2004, 01:38:46 PM: ^^ then J5 is not a commercially (very) successful band serving as a good example of why people who dislike hiphop dislike hiphop. Rock fans won't be as prejudiced when J5 get on stage as when the post-2000 incarnation of commercial thug rap does

you must be easily pleased then, none of my mates thought it was good and a couple who had got in front of the stage were on the train home by the time we got out, hopefully now i'll get the to go to a concert by a decent act.

Post by: Montana00 on September 01, 2004, 05:17:50 PM: in my opinion 50 cent is a joke. "I got shot 9 times, so now im a famous badass rapper"

Im glad he got booed off stage. too bad that doesnt happen more often.
