The Golden State Warriors lost two on Saturday, one game and one fan.
Warriors fan and rapper E-40 (real name Earl Stevens) was ejected from his courtside seat at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, Calif. during Game 1 of the NBA Playoffs. The contest was won by the Sacramento Kings, 126-123.
E-40 was ejected during the game’s second half. It’s unclear what provoked his dismissal.
E-40 is a founding member of rap group the Click and Sick Wid It Records. His resume includes 26 studio albums, numerous film soundtracks, and many guest appearances. He’s best known for his 2006 single, “Tell Me When To Go,” produced by Lil Jon.
The rapper gave a statement to The Athletic, saying “disrespectful heckling” during the game eventually prompted him to react.
“During the fourth quarter, I finally turned around and addressed one heckler in an assertive but police manner. Yet, shortly thereafter, Kings’ security approached me,...

Bay Area legend E-40 has accused the Sacramento Kings’ security staff of racial bias after he was ejected during the team’s Game One playoff matchup against the rapper’s beloved Golden State Warriors.
Video emerged on social media Saturday of E-40 in a verbal confrontation with Kings security; the situation was pacified when members of the Warriors’ security spoke to the rapper and escorted him off the floor. As E-40 exited, he was met with more jeering from the Kings fans, who chanted “40 Water,” a nod to his line of non-alcoholic beverages,...

The album title consists of four names that need no introduction: Snoop, Cube, 40, hort. These rap icons justly claim themselves as architects of West Coast hip-hop. As Mount Westmore, they’re a supergroup whose presence is etched in the California landscape.
Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, E-40, and Too hort also represent a wave of old-school rappers sustaining recording careers well into their 50s, long after the hits have subsided, and fans have moved on to fresher trends.

Eminem and Snoop Dogg have joined forces for a bicoastal new song, “From the D 2 the Lbc.” The fast-talking single arrived with a music video directed by James Larese, which switches between live footage of the rappers and an animated world where they transform into Bored Ape-looking avatars.
The rappers shout out their respective hometowns on the track, apparently putting to rest any territorial beef. “Put your doobies high if you reside in 213, let’s see them blunts raised,” they rap. “Whether you east side or west side of the...

Oakland Mc AllBlack can’t help but laugh. Before getting on the phone with me in March, he was tending to a comedy of errors in his home. “They were mounting one of my TVs up on the walls, so I’m trying to talk to the TV mounters while I’m trying to give my daughter a pacifier, but she keeps spitting it out,” AllBlack says. “It was crazy.

“What’s the name of that fantastic Netflix series about hip-hop?” Bruce Hornsby asks. “You’re going to have to make a plea for my inclusion!”
Hornsby is joking, of course, but this summer has brought another reminder of the keyboardist-singer’s unexpected impact on the genre. Nearly 35 years ago, Hornsby had an out-of-the-box hit with “The Way It Is,” which combined an elegantly hooky piano with lyrics confronting racism (“They passed a law in ’64/To give those who ain’t got a little more/But it only goes so...

For years, critics, listeners, and fans have asked the same snide question: “What does DJ Khaled actually do?” No one really wanted to know the answer, because the answer was always beside the point. In reality, DJ Khaled was building a pathway of success that made a certain amount of sense. If the album is waning, the superstars dwindling, and the hit songs less predictable, pure excess becomes a reasonable strategy.
More stars. More singles. More features. More anthems. More hooks. More catchphrases. More social media. More memes. More marketing.

Classifying rap records by where you’re meant to hear them is for the feds. Before the advent and rise in popularity of streaming services, terms like radio record, club record and street record were thrown around to bring order to a naturally chaotic process. These were often meaningless. Hits can be manufactured and predicted to an extent, but the best are serendipitous and random.

Boots Riley’s first feature film — a surrealist depiction of his hometown Oakland during capitalist wartime — came with a clamorous, giddy score by hometown heroes Tune-Yards; its layered vocal loops and stampeding beats kept up with each increasingly bizarre twist onscreen. The movie’s official soundtrack, which showcases Riley’s long-running hip-hop collective The Coup alongside other musical visionaries, is similarly vibrant; its 35 minutes of future funk burst with the confident audacity of Sorry‘s most jaw-dropping moments even as Riley and his fellow guests are describing personal and social problems.

After the nearly three-hour journey Andrea Arnold brings you on in American Honey, even if you didn’t appreciate it as much as we did at Cannes, you’ll be walking out wanting to immediately play the soundtrack. Following a successful first weekend in limited release, if it’s not screening near you yet, you can partake in part of the adventure as the full soundtrack is now available to stream.
Featuring Lady Antebellum‘s title track, of course, there’s also other songs that also nearly act as setpieces from E-40, Mazzy Star, and Raury (used heavily in the marketing campaign).

Stream it below with a hat tip to The Playlist.
