Known as San Francisco’s legendary after-hours nightclub, The Endup celebrates dance culture like no other venue. The thumping bass heard as you approach, tells you this place is not for the faint of heart. Conveniently located on 6th & Harrison in the SoMa district, The Endup delivers delivers premium nightlife and top-notch entertainment, creating a space where the two collide.

The End Up is everything frightened evangelicals in the Bible Belt imagine San Francisco to be.  It is home to the weirdoes (which is saying something in San Fran), the superheroes, the uber-scenesters, a wonderful contingent of drag queens, lots of shirtless, sweaty boys-who-like-boys, and an assortment of the most interesting people in the city.  It is where the locals go when they’re done playing gigs, closing up the other clubs, and looking for something to do.  The End Up is a freaky-deaky Shangri-La, where Playboy magazine noted – when it was named one of the country’s best afterhours clubs – “anything goes, and we mean anything.”

The dive bar chic atmosphere is anchored by a large-ish bar, the dance floor is not huge, but big enough, broken up a bit by mirrored columns.  The EAW sound system keeps the music coming through in high fidelity, and the lights and lasers keep things shiny and sparkly.  There’s a back room lounge with a fireplace and plush white couches for taking a load off.

The open-air, outdoor patio has wooden booths and benches, and is dotted by trees, accented with a bubbly fountain, and also hosts a food stand (hot dogs, dim sum, an assortment of snacks).

The music trends towards house – San Fran icon David Harness makes regular appearances – but you’re as likely to find electro, nu disco, indie dance, and a little bit of everything else depending on what night, or morning, you show up. Regular parties are Thursday’s EDMSF, Friday’s Fever and Sunday morning’s T-Dance.

A caveat before you make your way to the End Up:  this is not clubbing for amateurs. The gay is strong with this place so if you’re squeamish, probably best to go back to your hotel.  The intoxicant of choice for a lot of folks at the End Up is not booze, so don’t be surprised to see some rather wrung out people there (it is, after all an afterhours spot).

Ciara Princess Wilson ( see-AIR-ə; née Harris, born October 25, 1985) is an American singer, songwriter, dancer, and model. Born in Fort Hood, Texas, she traveled around the world during her childhood, eventually moving to Atlanta, Georgia, where she joined the girl group Hearsay. She later signed a publishing deal and befriended producer Jazze Pha, who recorded demos that would appear on her debut album. With his help, Ciara signed a record deal with LaFace Records.

In 2004, Ciara released her debut studio album, Goodies, which spawned four singles: "Goodies", "1, 2 Step", "Oh" and "And I". "Goodies" topped the Billboard Hot 100, and also topped the charts in the United Kingdom, while "1, 2 Step" and "Oh" both peaked at two on the Hot 100 and charted within the top five in the UK. The album was certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and garnered two nominations at the 48th Annual Grammy Awards, while also establishing Ciara as a teen idol. Ciara was also featured on Missy Elliott's "Lose Control" and Bow Wow's "Like You", both of which reached number three on the Billboard Hot 100. In 2006, Ciara released her second studio album, Ciara: The Evolution, which spawned the hit singles "Get Up", "Promise", "Like a Boy" and "Can't Leave 'em Alone". The album reached number one in the U.S. and was certified platinum.

Ciara's third studio album, Fantasy Ride (2009) was less successful than her first two albums. However, it produced the international top-ten single "Love Sex Magic", featuring Justin Timberlake, which received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals. The following year, Ciara released her fourth studio album Basic Instinct, which included the R&B top-five single "Ride", but was met with low sales, continuing a downward trend in her commercial performance. Ciara signed a new record deal with Epic Records in 2011. In 2013, she released her fifth studio album, Ciara, which spawned the R&B top-ten single "Body Party". The Album sold over a million units globally as of 2019, and debuted at number 2 on the billboard 200 chart. It re-established Ciara's commercial viability, and both singles were eventually certified by the RIAA. Her sixth album, Jackie (2015), included the singles "I Bet" and "Dance like We're Making Love". Her seventh album Beauty Marks (2019) included the hit single "Level Up".

In 2006, Ciara made her film debut in All You've Got, and later appeared in the films Mama, I Want to Sing! (2012) and That's My Boy (2012). In 2013, she had a recurring role in the US TV series, The Game. In 2016, Ciara signed a signed a modeling contract with IMG. That year, she became a Global Brand Ambassador for the cosmetics giant Revlon. Since making her musical debut in 2004, Ciara has attained eight Billboard Hot 100 top-ten singles and four Billboard 200 top-five albums. She has also received many awards, including three BET Awards, three MTV Video Music Awards, three MOBO Awards, and one Grammy Award.

With Omarion as their lead singer, the group scored five Top 20 R&B/Hip-Hop hits, as well as one gold-selling album and one platinum-selling album. Omarion then became one of the more popular solo contemporary R&B artists of the late 2000s -- a Grammy-nominated singer who worked with top-level producers and songwriters such as Timbaland, the Neptunes, Rodney Jerkins, Bryan-Michael Cox, and Tank. Although his popularity dipped during the early 2010s, his career was revitalized through an affiliation with Rick Ross' Maybach Music Group.

After filming You Got Served, a movie in which Omarion starred, B2K split. The movie was released in January 2004. Near the end of the year, Omarion furthered his side career with a role in Fat Albert. He then embarked on a solo career with the Epic label. Debut solo album O, featuring production help from the Neptunes, Rodney Jerkins, and the Underdogs, was released in 2005. The slow jam title track, released as the lead single, helped send the album to the top of the Billboard 200 chart. It was nominated for a Grammy in the category of Best Contemporary R&B Album. Omarion's second album, 21, followed in late 2006 and also debuted at the top of the Billboard 200, highlighted by an excellent Timbaland production, the Top 20 single "Ice Box." The singer's next move was Face Off, an uneven full-length collaboration with Bow Wow released in December 2007. Promoted by a BET special titled The Road to Platinum, it went gold.

Following a split with Epic, Omarion was briefly connected to Young Money Entertainment but ultimately signed with EMI, where he released 2010's Ollusion. While it was easily his lowest-selling release to that point, it was among his best work. The Tank collaboration "I Get It In," featuring a guest verse from Gucci Mane, peaked at number 20 on R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. A handful of cuts reunited him with B2K's Marques Houston. His presence as a judge on the fifth season of America's Best Dance Crew had no apparent positive impact on the album's sales. The following year, he joined Rick Ross' Maybach Music Group and subsequently aligned with Jay-Z's Roc Nation management. After a series of mixtapes, EPs, and appearances on assorted MMG releases, Omarion released Sex Playlist in 2014. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi

Let Me Hold You (feat. Omarion)

For Chris Brown, his fans were the ones who helped him rebound, giving him strength when he thought success may have been a thing of the past.

Brown’s fans around the world embraced him when he started releasing music on the internet, most notably the mix tapes that included his # 1 singles “Deuces” and “No BS.” It was the reaction to these songs that convinced the trailblazing singer-dancer-actor to title his new album, F.A.M.E.. “I was surprised by all the love and support I got from all my fans when I started doing the ‘Deuces’ record and the mix tapes,” he says. “They were getting really good reception, so I wanted to make it ‘Fans Are My Everything.’ It’s more personal to them and they can identify with that, from where I’ve been two years ago to now. They can see the progress and the maturity and the level of music that I’m putting out.”

To this point, early F.A.M.E. selections “Deuces,” “No BS,” and “Look At Me Now” showcase an edgier version of Brown, one who was both confident in himself and unwilling to compromise. But there was also the gorgeous, uplifting “Beautiful People.” It’s almost as though Brown morphed into more than one artist. “I wanted to balance it,” he says of his more confrontational output. “When I go into making music, I don’t think of a genre or certain type of material. It’s whatever comes out. We might do an alternative song or a rock song.”

Indeed, Brown explores other exciting new musical directions on F.A.M.E. The most dramatic and impressive examples of this are “Say It With Me” and “Oh My Love.” The former incorporates an aggressive mix of dub step and house courtesy of producer Harmony, while the latter has an edgy feel, thunderous bass and drastic tempo changes, all which provide divergent platforms for Brown’s many vocal styles.

Brown then goes from clubs to stadiums with “Next To You.” The song, a duet with fellow superstar Justin Bieber, features the singers paying tribute to the special ladies in their lives. It’s the type of optimistic, warm song that fills listeners with hope and promise about finding a perfect love. Another new wrinkle to Brown’s approach comes on “Love The Girls,” “Bomb,” and “Wet The Bed,” three cuts that highlight Brown’s confident side, especially when it comes to women.

Yet F.A.M.E. contains a bevy of the type of Brown’s signature heartfelt songs that girls fall in love with (or fall in love to) and that guys can play for their women. Case in point are: “She Ain’t You,” “Should’ve Kissed You,” and “All Back.” “She Ain’t You” wistfully laments a love he aims to regain. “Should’ve Kissed You” discusses not being confident enough to pursue a love you wanted and that you still regret, while “All Back” also deals with vulnerability, but from the realization that the love lost was more remarkable than you initially realized. For Brown, showing his vulnerable side is important, particularly for his male fans. “As a guy, we tend to shadow our emotions,” he says. “I think we do that because we’re taught as a kid to do so. One of the first things we’re taught from our fathers or our peers is to not be a punk, to grow up and to be a man. It’s instilled in us that we can’t have a sensitive side that we have to put up a force field. I just feel like everything is up on the table. People know that I’ve messed up, so there’s no more stuff that I need to hide. I’m just going to be me.”

Thus far, just being himself has led Chris Brown to astronomical success. He first three albums – 2005’s Chris Brown, 2007’s Exclusive, 2009’s Graffiti – have sold millions of copies collectively and spawned such gold and platinum singles as “Run It!,” “Yo (Excuse Me Miss),” “With You,” and “Kiss Kiss.” He’s won more than 25 awards (including Billboard’s Artist of the Year in 2006, three American Music Awards in 2007 including Artist of the Year and Favorite Male Artist-Pop, two People’s Choice Awards in 2009 including Favorite Male Singer) and has been nominated for 8 Grammy Awards and dozens of others.

The Virginia native is also an emerging movie star (including leading roles in 2007’s This Christmas and 2010’s Takers) and owns the successful MechanicalDummy.com blog site. An avid artist himself, Brown wants the lifestyle site to serve as a platform for artists who aspire to excel in the technological, cultural, style and branding realms.

As Brown works to help the next generation of artists, he also gives back to those less fortunate. He’s been affiliated with Best Buddies, an organization that helps people with intellectual disabilities along with developing his own Symphonic Love foundation, which aims to provide support and funding for arts programs dedicated to the artistic development of children. “If you have all this responsibility, this talent, you have to do something with it,” Brown says. “You’ve really got to help people out because, all in all, that’s what my music is doing.”

The results are evident in Team Breezy, the name of Brown’s dedicated legion of fans. There are Team Breezy branches throughout the United States, as well as France, Ireland and India, among other countries. Now, with F.A.M.E., Brown has delivered an album that caters to his followers, one that serves as a thank you to his loyal fans and builds upon his sonic repertoire and signals the emergence of a star whose work endures. “I want to showcase my talent,” Brown says. “I think I’m underestimated in a sense, like ‘Oh yeah, he’s cool, but such and such is better.’ I’ll get certain things like that, so this album is to prove that I’m not better than anybody other than myself, my last hits. I don’t want to just put out a couple of hits and be done with it.”

And with F.A.M.E., Chris Brown shows that he’s better than ever.

Aint Thinkin' Bout You

Ain't Thinkin' 'Bout You

In the winter of 2005, southern soulster T-Pain burst on the rhythmic scene with his debut Rappa Ternt Sanga and things just ain’t been the same. As a former microphone fiend who was down with the rap pack known as the Nappy Headz, a five-man group who had moderate success with “Robbery” in the early 2000’s, T-Pain was tired of the borders that divides hip-hop and soul, especially since he was excellent at both.

“I just got tired of turning on the radio and everything just sounding the same,” remarks the Tallahassee, Florida native whose government name is Faheem Najm. “I know it might sound corny, but I wanted to try and make something different.” After doing an unofficial remix of Akon’s “Locked Up,” the African sensation signed T-Pain to his Konvict Music imprint.

Incorporating a soaring chorus, soulful handclaps and 808 grooves, his first single “I’m Sprung” (2005) detailed the maddening joy of finding a new love. “…with his acoustic guitar and Vocoder-laced vocals suggest a hurt that no exotic dancer can cure,” wrote critic Chris Ryan in Spin magazine. While some compared the laidback electro with the best of the late Roger Troutman of the group Zapp, it was obvious that T-Pain was on a different level of creativity than his contemporaries.

Followed by the enticing second single “I’m N Luv (Wit A Stripper). As T-Pain told MTV.com: "Dancers love [the song]," he professed. "There's finally a song about strippers that ain't degrading. It's not the shake-that-ass song or 'Let's go in the backroom.' It's a song that's appreciating strippers.” Well on his way to a brilliant career, T-Pain sold a combined five million ring-tones of “Stripper” and “Sprung.”

Coming back strong in 2007, T-Pain has been hard at work constructing his sophomore joint Epiphany. “There has been a growth inside of me since I made that first album,” states T-Pain, reflecting on the time he spent working on his latest project. “To be blunt, I had to learn to stop being lazy in the studio. On the first album I recorded what I thought people wanted to hear, this time it was about me being an artist.”

Personal without being pretentious, Epiphany offers the listener a variety of musical styles that ranges from the snappin’ first single “Buy U a Drank” (featuring Yung Joc) to the rebel reggae furor of “Shotz” to the deep message of “Suicide.” Indeed, with each song we can only marvel had the proficiency that T-Pain has developed, both on the mic and behinds the boards.

“I recorded over forty songs in six months,” he says. “Of course, all of them weren’t the hottest, but creatively I felt truly inspired when working on these tracks.”

Borrowing from four different snap records to create one hot track, “Buy U a Drank” manages to simultaneously clubcentric and romantic without being straight-up nasty. “Basically, these days lots of people begin their relationships in the clubs,” explains T-Pain. “Whole conversations begin with some guy buying a young lady a drink. I wanted to make a song for those folks.”

On the second single “Bartender” tells the tale of a broken-hearted dude and his crush on a cutie-pie mixologist. “Sometimes, the bartenders are the hottest girls in the club,” T-Pain explains. “Guys are always falling in love with those girls, even if it goes no further than that night. ‘Bartender’ is an anthem for those guys.”

While T-Pain has no problem making hypnotic dance tracks like the amazing “Church,” he can also induce tears with songs like “Suicide.” Opening with the sorrowful chords of a Spanish guitar, T-Pain lyrically flashes upon the many ways the youth of today is killing themselves. “Having sex without condoms, driving drunk, selling drugs, all that is ‘Suicide.’ We do a lot of stupid stuff that only has one ending.”

Having seen firsthand how drugs can destroy the fiber of family, T-Pain consciously chose to detour from that path. Recently, with his wife and daughter, he recently relocated to Atlanta in hopes of a fresh start. In addition, T-Pain built two studios in his sprawling basement.

Traveling throughout the world while on tour with label-mate Chris Brown (and later with Bow Wow), also gave T-Pain a different perspective on life and music. “I loved being in London, because overseas it seemed that people were taking different kinds of risks with their records,” T-Pain says. “I was also impressed when I was in Brixton, and the club was filled with Black people and not one fight broke out. Where I come from, folks fighting inside the spot is a regular thing.”

In addition to Epiphany, T-Pain is also gearing up to start working with various artists on outside projects including R. Kelly, Kanye West, Usher, Chris Brown and Britney Spears. “In the past nineteen days, I’ve gotten more than twenty-five calls from artists who want to work with me,” T-Pain explains. “Right now, it’s a very exciting time.”

While T-Pain embraces both the old-school and current R&B, his complete persona on Epiphany shows us an artist who is unafraid of taking chances. “For me, soul music is about love, and it’s that kind of warmth that I want to bring back to the music.” Forget about the next level, because T-Pain is taking us places that have yet to be defined.

Calvin "Snoop Dogg" Broadus is a rare exception in the turbulent world of entertainment. After bursting on the scene in 1992, Snoop was crowned the king of the West Coast and single handedly put Long Beach on the map in terms of hip hop. Gritty lyrics and unmatched charisma made him a superstar but nobody could have guessed back then that his appeal would soon be widespread. From "Doggystyle" to appearances on the Martha Stewart show, Snoop will always be recognized and loved by all ages – from grandmothers to grandchildren and everyone in between.

The long career Snoop has sustained is not only contributed to his time in the studio, but also his time in the boardroom. With nine solo offerings, and over 30 million albums sold worldwide, Snoop has his hand in many other ventures and has transitioned from gangsta rapper to mainstream staple effortlessly. Over the years Snoop has been involved in a myriad of branding and co-branding opportunities from dolls and pet clothes to the custom Snoop deVille. These days he is paring down his products, in order to really be involved and touch the ones he is most passionate about.

One venture that Snoop created and holds near to his heart is the Snoop Youth Football League (SYFL). The SYFL was implemented by Snoop to help kids stay off the streets and out of trouble by giving them a positive outlet. The league has been around for 5 years and is comprised of boys and girls ages 5-13 from South Central LA, Compton, Watts and Pomona who must maintain a GPA average of 2.0 to play. It has grown to over 2,500 participants with Snoop personally coaching his team. In fact, he nearly shuts down his career for four months per year when the season commences.

Snoop is also working with the Long Beach Council to help redevelop the 6th district, the area where Snoop grew up in many years ago. Snoop has partnered with Kahala, a privately held corporation, in order to help make the district a better and safer place for its residents.Aside from the philanthropic work that Snoop does, surely a great musical artist like him undoubtedly knows how to create revenue streams inside the world of music as well. In 2009, he will launch his own online music distribution site, www.digitalonlinegangstagrooves.com. This site will distribute music from Snoop’s own artists, including Warzone, Western Union, Tha Hustle Boyz and more.

Looking to offer his fans the best of music listening, Snoop partnered with Skullcandy, a developer of core audio products, to bring a high-quality headphone at an affordable price ($69.95) to the hip-hop world. A Skullcandy fan for years, the hip-hop legend, will introduce fans to a shock-and-awe level of bass with 30mm neodymium magnetic speakers plus mini-sub woofers. The headphones are dubbed the "SkullCrusher" and will be available in Spring 2009.

A natural trend setter and lifestyle expert, Snoop also created a clothing line, Rich & Infamous, which can be found in stores like Demo and Up Against the Wall. Rich & Infamous is targeted at males aged 18-35 and features exquisite letterman’s jackets, satin bombers and luxurious hoodies – all made with the best fabrics and hardware. Snoop has also become a partner with Landy Cognac, the new generation cognac, where he will not only serve as the face for the brand, but also will lend his expertise for their marketing campaign.

As if that weren’t enough, Snoop’s highly watched television show, "Snoop Dogg’s Father Hood," is finished it’s second season on the popular network E! Entertainment. The reality show captures family moments with Snoop, his wife and three children and has been a great vehicle for viewers to see Snoop as he truly is, a family man. The show airs weekly on Sundays at 10:30pm.

In February, 2009, Snoop entered a first-of-its kind global deal with MTV that will bring his personality to television in a new variety talk show, "Dogg After Dark," and his music to fans with a new album release and into the best-selling music video game Rock Band®. The show will air weekly with raw interviews with A-list talent, hilarious sketch comedy segments and musical performances from the hottest artists. The show will also feature Snoop’s own in-house band, the "Snoopadelics", and premieres on Tuesday February 17th at 9pm.

The MTV deal will also release Snoop’s upcoming new album, "Malice in Wonderland," with global distribution, marketing and promotion. In addition, songs from Snoop’s impressive catalogue of hits will be released on MTV’s hot-selling Rock Band® music video game platform.

After 17 years, Snoop has not only maintained his relevance but he has done so without changing who he is – a rare feat for most celebrities who constantly have to reinvent themselves to stay on top. True stars never lose their luster – and if history is an indication, Snoop is here to stay.

Not just one of those 'bling bling' rappers with nothing but fame, Fabolous proves that one needs to have a solid physical evidence that shows he's worth it. The rapper owns a record that speaks for itself. 'From Nothin' to Somethin'' breaks the cycle that has been haunting his chart record for years. If previously his albums were always stuck at #4 in Billboard 200 chart, the fourth set won't take a step ahead but two at a time by sitting at #2 through a total sale of 159,000 copies. His second single from the album 'Makes Me Better' featuring Ne-Yo even climbed up to #10 after debuting at #96 and bubbling under top 10 list. True to his hard working nature, Fabolous has more to offer in the coming year. His fifth album that is tentatively titled 'Loso's Way' is worked on under the production of hip-hop icons Jonathan Rotem and Eminem. It's definitely hard not to keep a constant stream of your lovable work when you're Fabolous.

Although achieving a wide media exposure, not much is known about his personal life particularly because he's very secretive about it. Like a lot of rising R&B crooners, Fabolous censors his ...

off-stage persona and prefers people to focus on his music. "This is off the record," as he would often says in interviews. The only thing successfully dug out of him was the fact that he was born on November 18, 1977 in Brooklyn, New York under the birth name John Jackson. Regarding his love life, he claimed to be in a long time relationship that has begun since 2005. And that's already off limit.

While many wonder where does this new Hip-Hop crooner pop out from, Fabolous spilled a short episode before he was catapulted to stardom through single 'Can't Deny It'. Back in 1998, Fab met DJ Clue who made the right decision in trusting his talent. Under the moniker Fabolous Sport, the young singer released a single 'If They Want It' that was included in the album 'DJ Clue? The Professional'. That would be his first time tasting recording experience with Def Jam that would later on be a 'home' for him. Not long after that, Fab tried to find his own path by signing a recording deal with Elektra. Gaining Nate Dogg's partnership, he remixed Tupac Shakur's song 'Ambitionz Az a Ridah' and put on a new title 'Can't Deny It'. The groove was there and the time was right. His solo debut album 'Ghetto Fabolous' that was released in 2001 peaked at #4 in Billboard 200 with all four singles reaching the Top 40.

Two years later he was ready to release his sophomore set that he named 'Street Dreams'. Again the album only managed to land fourth place in Billboard album chart but still, Fab refused to rely on the full length album to spread his music. A mixtape titled 'More Street Dreams, Pt. 2: The Mixtape' was released in the same year and even charted at #28 in Billboard 200. He would later on continue producing mixtapes that, at the same time, let him build mutual relationship with fellow musicians like Mariah Carey, Notorious B.I.G. and Musiq Soulchild. Another record was dropped in 2004 under the title 'Real Talk' and while not getting his fourth place anymore, this album was comparably a flop in his music career. It only peaked at #6, a position that marked the lowest sale of all his previous records at that time. He soon left Atlantic Records and signed a contract with Def Jam.

Filling 2005 with collaborations, his duet with Christina Milian on 'Dip It Low (remix)' was nominated in 2005 Grammy Award. However, fame and rivalry got in the way in October 2006 when he was shot while waiting for his entourage outside a New York restaurant. A gunman approached him and opened a fire that went straight to his thigh. Upon fleeing with a car and running a red light, police caught them and discovered illegal possession of loaded guns. Fabolous escaped death but his name was already etched on police record. Shifting the weight to music, Fabolous then made his claimed best effort with the hottest musicians in town. In 2007 he completed 'From Nothin' to Somethin'' with numerous stars such as Timbaland, Akon, Swizz Beat and Jermaine Dupri. Apt to its title, Fabolous intended to reconcile with his past through this record. "I been through situations I never been in before in my life," he said in an interview. "I got shot, been arrested, been in a relationship. I'm past really rapping for my block or my projects. I'm trying to grow. We been working really hard." However, trouble seemed to follow him in December 2007 when his childhood friend was stabbed to death in a New York club where witnesses claimed that they saw Fab there. He was rumored to be involved in the killing but he personally made it clear in an interview with The New York Daily News that he was back at home on that day, celebrating Thanksgiving with his parents.
