E-40 Delivers New Song and Video "Front Row 40" Shot in Warriors Arena

E-40, a multi-platinum artist, debuted “Front Row 40,” a new song and a music video to accompany it. The song arrived just ahead of E-40 sitting courtside for Game 3 of the Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings series.

In the recently released song, E-40 refers to himself as “Floor Seats Earl” as a tribute to his birth name Earl Stevens and brags about having front-row seats at games for the San Francisco 49ers, San Francisco Giants, and Golden State Warriors. He raps about his well-chosen attire and compares himself to ardent New York Knicks and Los Angeles Lakers supporters Jack Nicholson and Spike Lee.

E-40 and his wife take over the Chase Center, the Golden State Warriors’ home arena, in the Jae Synth-directed video as they sit courtside. A montage of clips showing E-40 conversing with JAY-Z, Diddy, Snoop Dogg, Steph Curry, Draymond Green, Too $hort, 2Chainz, and others at various Warriors games throughout the years is also incorporated into the video.

You can see the new song and video below.

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.

Warriors-Kings Rivalry Takes Another Twist

by

The Golden State Warriors will be without Draymond Green for Game 3. In case you’ve been hiding under a rock, the NBA has suspended Green for stomping Kings forward Domantas Sabonis in Game 2. The news of the suspension came on Wednesday evening. Green’s past history with on the court issues didn’t help his case in avoiding suspension. However, now Golden State is shifting the focus to Sabonis. The team is now claiming that the Kings star is playing with no intent on safety.

According to senior ESPN writer Zach Lowe, Golden State has expressed major concern for Sabonis’ play in this series. “There is some anger within the organization toward the league. There’s a sense in the organization that Sabonis is shoving people on offensive rebounds and playing with his elbows out and using the ball as a weapon on offense.” Using the term weapon is for sure to get some eyes on Sabonis when Game 3 takes place. With Sabonis’ latest altercation with Green, officials were bound to be watching him closely anyway.

Warriors Claim Sabonis Is Using Basketball As Weapon

The series has been a very physical one. Even JJ Redick has called out the officiating for letting the game become too physical. However, now the series has become more than just a game. If the Golden State organization is comparing a basketball to a weapon, then we could be walking down a dangerous path. However, one has to think that Sabonis will not be changing his playing style any time soon. But it does beg the question of how Game 3 will be officiated.

Don’t expect Game 3 to match the physicality of the first two games in this series. Obviously, the players realize how many people will be looking for the next physical altercation. However, the Kings are just worried about putting another nail in the Golden State coffin. Do you believe the series between the Warriors and Kings will now be tightly called by the officials? If it is, which team will have the leg up in a game with a lot of whistles? Let us know your thoughts on the situation in the comment section. For the latest NBA news, keep it right here with HNHH.

Dirk Nowitzki Reflects On Being Embarrassed To Win MVP Award

by

Dirk Nowitzki recently sat down with Rachel Nichols to discuss his time in the league. The Dallas Mavericks legend accomplished everything a player can possibly do in the league. Even earning the right to call himself league MVP. However, at the time, Nowitzki would have rather been anywhere else on earth than receiving that award. Because just two weeks earlier, the Mavericks were on the losing end of the biggest NBA Playoffs series upset in the league’s history.

2007 marked the first and only time that an eight seed has taken down a one seed in the NBA Playoffs. Before they were the Golden State Franchise you know today, the Warriors were once mighty underdogs. The Warriors seemed to have everything going against them back in 07. Including having to play a future MVP winner. However, that didn’t stop the underdog from pulling off the impossible. The Warriors stunned the Mavericks in six games sending the one-seed home early. A series that still seems to be on the mind of Nowitzki.

Dirk Nowitzki Was Hurt Over Playoffs Loss

In his appearance on Headliners, Nowitzki opened up on his MVP award victory. However, it wasn’t the answer that anyone had in mind. Nowitzki claims he was so embarrassed by the playoff loss that he told the league he didn’t want the award. But Nowitzki ended up accepting the prestigious award, even if he was lost in the moment. Looking back, Nowitzki realizes how special the honor is to be called NBA MVP. However, at the time, the award just didn’t feel special to a player who had just suffered the worst loss in his career.

But things ended up working out for the Mavericks star. The Mavericks won the 2011 NBA championship as massive underdogs. No one expected Dallas to defeat the loaded Miami Heat. However, Nowitzki finally got the elusive ring he had long been chasing. Now Dirk Nowitzki is considered one of the greatest to ever play in his generation. But the memory of those Baron Davis led Warriors may still give the legend nightmares. For the latest NBA news, keep it right here with HNHH.

50 Cent Thinks The Warriors Might Kick Him Out Of The Next Game After The Kings Ejected E-40 In Game 1

Throughout the first two games of the NBA Playoffs series between the Sacramento Kings and Golden State Warriors, the Kings’ beverage partner 50 Cent has been a fixture at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento.

However, it sounds like he might be rethinking making the trip 370 miles northwest to the Warriors’ Chase Center for the next few games after one of his rap peers, E-40, was given the boot from Game 1 after a contentious exchange with another fan in the expensive seats. 50 joked about the Warriors exacting vengeance for their unofficial rap mascot on Instagram.

“I was thinking about jumping on this jet to the Bay Area for game 3 but the KINGS kicked E40 out,” he wrote. “They might want to kick 50 out the Chase center. LOL.”

The Dubs have reason to be a little salty after the first two games of the series, which Sacramento now leads 2-0 after defeating the Warriors 114-106 on Monday night. To add insult to injury, the cornerstone of Golden State’s defense, Draymond Green, was suspended one game after stepping on the chest of Kings forward Domantas Sabonis — an incident 50 had thoughts about as well.

E-40 was kicked out of Game 1 after the altercation, which started when a fan behind him told him to sit down. The Vallejo rapper made it a point to ascribe the response to “racial bias” in a statement, writing, “Security saw a disagreement between a Black man and a white woman and immediately assumed I was at fault.”

If 50 does make the trip, he could probably avoid a similar outcome, so long as he does the opposite of his rap career and doesn’t start any beef.

50 Cent Says Draymond Green Called Himself a ‘Big Stepper’ After Sabonis Incident

50 Cent was courtside for both Game 1 and 2 of the Golden State Warriors’ visits to Sacramento to take on the Kings. So she was present when Draymond Green stepped on the chest of forward Domantas Sabonis.

50 claims he asked Draymond what he did it for, and he got a big dog response.

“Said @money23green what the fvck you do that for?” 50 wrote. “He said 50 im a big stepper, i’m out here steppin on shit it’s the play offs. I was sitting there like oh shit!”

The Golden State Warriors must figure out how to claw back into their series with the Sacramento Kings without Draymond Green. The NBA has suspended Green for one game after stomping on the chest of Kings’ forward Domantas Sabonis.

The ruling contrasts the earlier belief that Green would receive a fine but not be suspended. The league office states, “The suspension was based in part on Green’s history of unsportsmanlike acts.”

In case you missed it, in the fourth quarter of Game 2, Green’s foot was grabbed by Sabonis once he fell to the floor. Once Green freed his foot, he stomped on Sabonis’s chest and headed back up the court.

Testing reveals Sabonis has a bruised sternum and will be questionable for Game 3.

Green offered an explanation, stating this was the second time his leg was grabbed during the series.

My leg got grabbed — the second time in two nights — and the referee is just watching. I got to land my foot somewhere, and I’m not the most flexible person, so it’s not stretching that far,” Green said. “I can only step so far with someone pulling my leg away.”

Game 3 will be in Chase Center on Thursday.

Kendrick Perkins Claims Warriors Are Being Outcoached

by

Kendrick Perkins believes to know the reason the Sacramento Kings have a 2-0 lead over the Golden State Warriors. The NBA veteran points to the coaching performances of each team. Kings head coach Mike Brown has been a great story this season. Brown jumped in the spotlight as head coach for the Cleveland Cavaliers back in LeBron’s first stint with the franchise. However, things didn’t work out in Cleveland, leading Brown to be bounced around the league. Until he landed with the Warriors as an assistant coach.

Brown was on Steve Kerr’s staff at Golden State for the last six seasons. Until this past off-season when Brown was offered another chance to be a head coach. Now Brown has the Kings in one of the best positions the franchise has seen in the last two decades. However, to reach that next step, Brown must take down his good friend Kerr. A mission that Perkins already believes Brown is doing. Check out the video of Perkins breaking down the coaching performances of Kerr and Brown below.

Kendrick Perkins Believes Steve Kerr Is Losing The Coaching Battle

“Mike Brown has been coaching circles around Steve Kerr… now Mike Brown is doing his thing and showing why he’s Coach of The Year,” Perkins stated when discussing how the two teams have been performing. Perkins believes it was the Kings adjustments that led to the team earning the 2-0 lead. The NBA veteran even went further, discussing the Kings potentially winning the series. The former Boston big man wants the Warriors to be at full strength. Because he doesn’t want to hear excuses if the team doesn’t win this series.

Right now, the Warriors playoff future looks bleak. The Kings have been firing on all cylinders and own the big lead. However, writing off a team that has Steph Curry would be a rather foolish thing to do. The Warriors may lose this season. But one can guarantee they won’t lose it without a fight. Do you agree with Kendrick Perkins on Brown controlling the game over Kerr? Can the Warriors turn this into a competitive series? Let us know what you think in the comment section.
