Busta Rhymes Touches Down In Cali For Free Madden ’09 Concert

Hip-Hop superstar Busta Rhymes will help to kick-off the release of Madden ’09 this evening in California with a free performance to celebrate the series’ 20th anniversary.

According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Flipmode leader will perform alongside other entertainers who have contributed songs on the classic John Madden collection including multi-platinum selling rock band Good Charlotte.

Being dubbed “Maddenpalooza,” the celebration will take place at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California with free admission for an anticipated 6,000 plus audience.

Unlike other video game sports franchises, the Madden series has sold more than 70 million copies since it’s debut in 1989.

“In the video game industry, if you sell a million copies, you throw a ticker-tape parade,” Game Informer editor Matthew Kato told the Philadelphia Inquirer. “If you’re selling five to six million copies of the same title every year, you’ve just won the Super Bowl, World Series and Stanley Cup combined.”

Also expected to help celebrate and sign autographs this evening include NFL legends Andre Reed, Roger Craig and Tim Brown.

Madden ’09 officially hits all retail stores tomorrow (August 11).

In related news, Busta’s highly anticipated album Blessed is currently slated to hit shelves this fall. The project features contributions from Linkin Park, Dr. Dre, Green Lantern, Cool & Dre, Nottz, Timbaland and Pharrell.
