We’ve got a lot of show announcements for you this week, though by and large they’re D-listers. The major exception is The Game, who’s coming to the Celebrity on February 21. As a long time West Coast partisan, I’ve always admired the way the Compton rapper went to head to head with 50 Cent’s G-unit posse at the height of their influence. The best example how he did it is the video on the next page, Game’s “300 Bars and Runnin'” a 15-minute diss track that takes on pretty much everyone, especially focusing on Fiddy and Lloyd “The Poor Man’s Nelly” Banks. Click more for the two-part “300 Bars” video and the rest of your show announcements. –Martin Cizmar
