Chinese Government Cancels Jay-Z Concert

jay_close.jpgThe Chinese government has reportedly cancelled a Jay-Z concert scheduled for October 23 at Shanghai’s Hongkou Stadium. According to the Associated Press, one of the show’s promoters claims that the country’s Culture Ministry nixed the show because of Jay’s lyrical content. “Some of Jay-Z’s songs contain too much vulgar language,” Sun Yun of KS Promotions was quoted as saying in China’s state run paper Shanghai Daily. Although the AP was unable to independently confirm the report, a website peddling tickets for the show listed it as being postponed. The concert would have marked Jay-Z’s first ever performance in the Asian country.

    I’m all about the Asian women but China is a worthless ass country. If you think America got social and human rights problems you don’t even want to start with that nation. I’ll kick knowledge..

  • Victor Trammell

    America does have human rights problems in it. This is very much true. Jay can be happy about not really being severely effected, he’s filthy, rotten rich. The Chinese government does not play, and I can see them buying this country up…

    jay is that nygga- and who gives a f**k about one little as show in china.?F**k em- they still gone buy the cd when it comes out- thats some small shyt-

    and to the nyggas hating on jay- if the only thing you can say is – “that nygga be using over nyggas lines in his songs— nygga please!!!!!!!!!!! 90 percent of hiphop is based off nyggas doing the same shyt- remixing- remaking- and quoting- so get a grip- i would rather hear jay spit a bar or two quoting biggie- then to listen to lame azz nyggas like dipset- and camron- spit that- whack shyt- or dfb snap dancing- spitting and you can barely understand half the shyt they saying-

    nyggas that hate on jay are usually dipset and d block dick suckers-
    stop hating on the man-that nygga- put hiphop in a state- where- not just the hood respects- it but politics are affraid of it- and main cultures including white america embrace it-

    he’s apart of hip hop like nas- biggie- rakim- krsone- wutang- leaders of the new school- snoop- and dre- etc etc..

    and nyggas hate that-

    but hey maybe cam- will have nyggas rocking a new color or colors this year-

    like rainbow flags- lol–
