Shots at Kanye West concert

2006-03-03 by Damrod EMERITUS | 13 Comments
During a concert of rapper Kanye West near Birmingham/UK two members of the security team were injured by gun shots.

This happened while a group of youths tried to get into the NEC Arena where the concert was held, without tickets. The security then tried to drive them away from the exit, when several gun shots were fired. While it was unclear who fired, later on a man and a woman were arrested according to BBC. The police now searches for witnesses. Both securities were not injured leathal, and one could already be released from hospital.

The gig was the final of the UK tour before Kanye West continued to 'old Europe' and later on to Australia and Japan.

Wow maybe I'm just not up on the English violence scene but I would not expect this in the UK.

Hope that don't happen in Aus, not that I'm going though. Too expensive.

"spoon_of_grimbo" i hate rap too...but i give certain reasons...like it having to do with the dumbing down and constant decline of my culture which has pretty much made me turn my back on the music that was once apart of me...or the violence and lies it spills out onto african-american youth who don't know any better...

i have a reason...do you...?

???

my reason would be the kind of lifestyle that the majority of rap music seems to promote these days, i.e. gun crime, gangsta/thug life, demeaning of women (bitch and ho are hardly respectful terms are they?), materialistic living (emphasis on bling, etc.). all things that i basically find very shallow indeed.

also, purely out of personal preference, there is very little rap that i can stand to listen to from a musical point of view, even if the lyrics aren't like those i've just mentioned. i just don't like the sound of it.

I really don't see how rap is any less demeaning to women and materialistic than rock and metal.

What kind of rap have you been exposed to? Surely you haven't have good enough exposure to the genre. If you don't like the "shallowness" of pop-rap, there's a plethora of artists that fill the credibility void.
