G-Unit Entice F** Game! Chant at Super Dome Verfasst am: 29.08.2009, 13:45
CashvilleRecords.net EXCLUSIVE: The build up to one of Sydney’s most widely anticipated concerts was huge; after all it was one of the few times a big hip-hop star performed on stage in Sydney. Last time G-Unit came out the crowds left with nothing but great memories. Thousands of people began to arrive to Sydney’s Super Dome, ready and waiting for Lil John and the BME clicks to begin. After approximately fifteen minutes a video started on screen with ‘video game’ type effects featuring shootouts with gunman drinking ‘Crunk Juice’. This very much set the ‘gangster’ mood for the mass of Sydneysiders and when Lil John came on stage the roar was deafening. His presence alone left the entire crowd star struck, and for the entire gig there was nothing but total appreciation for what the king of Crunk and his boys were providing. However it is important to point out that of the entire group from the BME clicks, Lil Scrappy was the only one wearing G-Unit clothing. This was seen by all as confirmation that he has a future at the label. As Lil John and his boys left the stage, phones were going off like crazy, messages were being thrown around the Super Dome with a “how good was that” type vibe and over 30000 people thought it couldn’t get much better then that. They were wrong.
Twenty minutes later, 50cent and G-Unit appeared on stage and the thrill of being in their presence was indescribable. It was clear just how much respect and praise was directed towards the G-Unit general and his colleagues. Song after song, comment after comment; it became clear that this tour had the intention to educate the ‘hip hop deprived’ crowd on the beef between 50 cent and The Game.
“Y’all know the Game right?”, was the cry as 50 cent began to bust out the lyrics of the most recognized hook in Australia
“This is how we do….”
As an eruption of cheering poured out from the crowd, 50 cent paused. It was then evident that he was out to change the public’s perspective.
“I sat down and did him a favor by writing all of his songs, and what does he do for me in return?” As he raised his middle finger it became clear what reaction 50 cent wanted from his fans, who happily obliged in responding with a chorus or boos. On that note the king continued, having the entire audience immersed in everything that was occurring on stage.
About half an hour into the performance, Lil Scrappy entered the stage but appeared to add nothing to the party except for the occasional cry of “G-Unit!” Now although about 80% of the Sydney audience was probably ignorant of the fact of who Lil Scrappy was, by the end of the night 50 cent had given his audience the impression that we would be seeing more of Lil Scrappy in the future.
After over two hours of non stop action, the concert came to a close, featuring a final appearance from the ‘hip-hop teachers" Banks, Scrappy and Buck, yelling out "G-Unit" and ordering the crowed to scream "F^^# Game!" as a response. This sequence happened at least twenty times before they eventually left the stage with the entire Super Dome praising the hip-hop Gods.
As we left the arena we walked out eager to buy some G-Unit clothing or merchandise from the stores (as it is rare to find G-Unit clothing in Sydney). However to our disappointment the only merchandise available was branded by 50 cent. There was not a sign of a G-Unit tag, let alone anything from Buck or Banks. It was almost as if the other four members who played a big part in the performance on stage didn’t exist. So after waiting an hour in line to buy some G-Unit merchandise, we walked away dissatisfied and empty handed.
That night, the city of Sydney packed the Super Dome with a desire to party with the group of guys they know best only for the music they hear on the radio. Those same people left much later in the evening, not only with an awesome concert experience, but also with a higher understanding of the G-Unit record label and what they are about. They left with total admiration for who and what they had seen.
