Nas Show Canceled In Canada Due To Rapper's "Violent" Lyrics

So, what is up Canadians? Nas' lyrics are too violent? This guy Isaac Cockburn (that's his real name) has decided to pull the plug on Nas performing.

"Cockburn claimed that Peter Seguin, vice president of food and beverage for the centre, told him the centre has a policy banning hip-hop and rap."

Can anybody offer any reasonable explanation for this? I just can't understand...the students voted for Nas to perform at this Rock the Vote event. By cancelling Nas, do they think that is going to influence young Canadians to vote?

Any comments?

"He said that it was an increased security risk and that it was a vulnerability that the Congress Centre was not willing to take on."

For some reason all those clicks and whistles seem to incite violence.

I was hoping for some worthwhile replies, but all I'm getting is the expected worthless Canadian respones.

Any worthwhile Canadians care to response?

Wherever black American culture spreads, the land value and overall security for everyone else declines sharply. Black American (not Black mind you, but just African American) culture is basically a cancer spreading ignorance and violence wherever it travels. Can't say I blame officials for wanting to stop that shit from spreading anymore than it already has up here.

That being said, Nas does kick ass.
