Front Row 40

E-40 Dropped A New Song And Video About Sitting In The ‘Front Row’ After Getting Ejected From The Warriors And Kings Game

by

The Sacramento Kings are up 2-0 on the Golden State Warriors in the first round of the 2023 NBA Playoffs, but the Kings took an L when E-40 was controversially ejected from Game 1 at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento on Saturday, April 15.

The following day, E-40 released a statement explaining that he felt he “was subjected to disrespectful heckling” and was met with “racial bias” when Golden 1 Center security “assumed that I instigated the encounter and proceeded to kick me out of the arena” (as reported by Shams Charania):

E-40 issued another statement, this time alongside the Kings, on Wednesday, April 19, and it was determined “that there was a miscommunication regarding the circumstances” and clarified that E-40 “did not stand excessively from his ticketed courtside seat.” Here it is in full:

But today, April 20, E-40 had the final word. He dropped “Front Row 40” along with a video directed by Jae Synth. The visual finds E-40 reclaiming his rightful place courtside. “Front Row 40, four-seat Earl / Feet on the wood, me and my girl,” the Bay Area icon raps as footage cycles through of E-40’s past front-row adventures.

E-40 boasts about people saying “they watch the games just to see what I’m gonna wear” and “text me and say they see me on the Jumbotron.” Of course, the video wouldn’t be complete without a clip of Steph Curry dapping up E-40.

It’s likely that E-40 will be in attendance to root on his Dubs in Game 3 at Chase Center in San Francisco, California, but it sounds like 50 Cent might be a game-time decision. The Warriors will need all the juice they can get from their home crowd; they’ll be without Draymond Green, who was suspended for tonight’s Game 3 after stomping on Domantas Sabonis in Game 2. The game tips off at 7 p.m. local time.

Watch “Front Row 40” above.

E-40 Honors His Warriors With “Front Row 40” Single

E-40 recently had a bit of an incident with the Sacramento Kings. Although he was minding his business during Game 1, he was ultimately kicked out of the arena. Subsequently, the legendary Bay Area rapper accused the team of racial bias. Of course, the Kings took that accusation very seriously and immediately launched an investigation. Now, the series is headed back to San Francisco, and E-40 is going to be in the stands. This is where he will be cheering on his favorite team.

In fact, E-40 has just dropped a brand new song in support of the Warriors, as well as all other Bay Area sports teams. This new track is simply called “Front Row 40” and it is an homage to how he is always sitting front row at football and basketball games. Moreover, he even professes his love for hockey and baseball. Overall, it is the perfect song for the playoffs, which may even act as an anthem of sorts for the Warriors. God knows they need it.

E-40 Demonstrates His Love Of Sports

As for the situation with the Kings, all of that has been handled. In a joint statement today, the Kings and E-40 claimed this was all a misunderstanding. Hopefully, they will welcome him back to Sacramento, if the series extends that far. “After a series of thoughtful and transparent conversations, both parties agree that there was a miscommunication regarding the circumstances that occurred during the Kings vs. Warriors game on Saturday night,” the statement reads. “Contrary to speculation, Mr. Earl “E-40″ Stevens did not stand excessively from his ticketed courtside seat; the outcome resulted from an unfortunate misunderstanding between two parties.”

As for whether or not this song was always going to come out, that remains to be seen. Either way, E-40 has taken a negative situation and turned it into a positive one. Hopefully, for the artist, the Warriors can win tonight and push this series to at least five games. Let us know your thoughts on the song, in the comments down below.
