Kanye West's 'New Slaves' Screening Shut Down by Houston Police

[Better]

Naw B.... It's a music video Screening...


He's been having them all over the world.

I don't know what a 'music video screening' is.

Edit: Now that I've looked it up, I guess there is nothing wrong with it. I thought he shot a music video in H-town. Why would someone with no ties or affiliations with H-town shoot a video there. It's not that kind of city.

All I was sayin'.

This...got no respect for a dude who uses black culture and black music to get his riches, only to squander it away, nutting into the first sub-standard white whore who gives him a chance he otherwise wouldnt have unless he was rich. I hope this lock-jawwed piece of shit joins his mother soon. Nigga a coon.

..... Wishing death bro?

Well, there's about 50,000 more black people in the H than there are TOTAL people in Miami, for one thing. Theater and arts community second only to NYC in terms of total seats and endowment dollars, low production costs, bad bitches... I'd say it's JUST that kind of city.

All I'm sayin'.

My homie that just moved to TX just told me it's currently the new "hotspot" for black visual artist and painters!

Dude, it's not a "entertainment industry" type city. That's all I'm sayin'. Houston is a business city...

...but it's not glamorized city, and ultimately not a 'hip' destination.

I'm well aware that Houston is underrated, but that's why it's not a city that non-Texas artists will flock to unless something major is going on(e.g. All-Star Weekend).

There are a lot of people that would be shocked to know how diverse Houston is. I know I was when I first visited. While NYC and LA, for instance, maybe more diverse, you see damn near any and every kind of race while in Houston.

With the money they have in Houston, if they wanted to invest in being an entertainment mecca, they easily could. But, it's more of a conservative business city.

All these years ye wanted to be the black superman. Now he married to a chick with kryptonite pussy and everytime time he fucks her or walks around with her he loses his mind. This nigga ye unstable now. Jay-z said fuck your crazy ass IM fucking with Justin timberlake. Can't be dissing the people who feed you

... with a Mayor that's an out-of-the-closet bulldagger? Hardly that damn conservative. Don't get our neighbors in rural Texas fucked up with Houston, cuz. Same state, different people. I won't convince you on this thread, homie - especially with what sounds like your limited exposure to all of the H. The greater Houston Metro is more than 4 times larger than Miami Metro - so there's no way you could know... but apparently, Kanye does. Got no problem with cats reppin' their city, just be fully educated before you disparage somebody else's.

Dude, Houston is in a very red state. I'm well aware you have anomalies like the dyke mayor - there is still a conservative stronghold in Houston/Texas.

It's like Atlanta. Blacks and homos everywhere, but those white boys still run the show.

The city council and school board are dominated by Democrats. Reds in the city, yes. Red dominated, no. If Houston was so damn conservative, an "anomaly" like Parker could never have even happened... for that matter, she 'aint even the first dyke Houston has had as Mayor. How many anomalies does it take before it becomes an accepted part of the culture? You tell me.

g-o-o-g-l-e, niggas, damn.

 

[Dawgnme]

For that matter, when did the conversation turn to "who's running the show"? Did you click on the wrong thread, cuz? I was extolling the virtues of the H as a suitable artists locale, and taking umbrage with his assessment of Houston as business conservative.

Scroll up next time, homie.

 

[IT IS WHAT IT IS]

Better to stand for something than to fall for anything. At least dude stands for something.

SMH@ some of these other comments.
You complacent ass niggas have become way too comfortable in your own skin. You are feeling yourselves way too much.
What does who dude is fucking or any of that other shit have to do with the message? I guess you niggas need to hear it from your jesus Obama for it to be valid?
You can tell we are in a dumbed down culture. People only concern themselves with petty shit these days. You have been conditioned to obey your television. Anyone who threatens your contentment gets dissed.
Yeah, we all know Ye ain't stable but at least he's trying. What are y'all doing? Who else at his level is trying to say something?
Y'all niggas want to throw rocks at Ye but who else you got to speak for you? Our own damn President ain't checking for our black asses.

I don't for damn sure need not mentally unstable, pseudo lunatic speaking for me... Don't give a damn who he's fucking, but I don't need a metro-sexual split personality driving any cause for me... If you want him to be your voice, do you... People have a right to choose who they accept... and who the fuck are you to try to define them because you don't agree with him... It's self righteous wanna be's like you who cause a social divide, judging people on your limited understanding of standards and principles...

GTFOH with this bullshit... What the fuck are you doing beside riding on someone else's coat tails? Posting strong on BGOL doesn't mean shit! Fake ass eMilitant ass clowns like you are the jokes...

g-o-o-g-l-e, niggas, damn.

This is very true...go back to the 2012 election and Obama almost won (or did win) popular vote in the city of Houston...

Texas is purple now....neither red nor blue.

Once the Mexicans take over Texas (which they will) it will be the next California and will be a perennial blue state

'Ye way too emotional to lead any sort of social issue. Plus, anyone that creates an offspring with a Kardashian is lacking any sort of common sense. Im glad they've been shutting that crap down.

I really don't know whether to laugh or cry that Kanye West is attempting to be the face of any type of social consciousness ... I am really ignoring this whole thing, really can't give any credence to this... He just needs to stop!

I can't find the clip but Jim Brown said it best when describing Puffy attempting to lead social consciousness movements... He laughed ...

From Emilee Dawn Whitehurst, executive director of Rothko Chapel:

The Rothko Chapel welcomes collaborative partnerships with artists and organizations to advance human rights, foster dialogue, and nurture reverence. As a matter of policy, the Chapel does not function as a public venue for outside organizations or individuals to use without permission.

The Rothko Chapel had no prior knowledge of Mr. Kanye West’s event and had not authorized the gathering. It is our pleasure to work with partners in advance to create meaningful experiences for the public. As always, the Rothko Chapel is open every day from 10am-6pm for people to enjoy.

At the end of the day, I guess this nigga getting just what the PR machine wanted - pub. Then this fool tries to show the video on the side of The Alamo... good way to get yo ass strung up in TX - peckerwoods manic about that muthafucka.

screening of Kanye West's "New Slaves" video in Houston came to an early end last night when police arrived to shut down the projection. According to the Houston Chronicle, the Houston police broke up an "upbeat, respectful crowd" who had gathered to watch the display at Rothko Chapel.

The paper reports that the police pulled several cars onto the grass with flashing lights and sirens, telling the crowd that they would be arrested for trespassing if they didn’t leave.

Kanye West Premieres 'New Slaves' With Video Projections Around the World

West debuted the song "New Slaves" last week with video projections on the facades of 66 buildings across the world. He announced a series of new locations for the display on Friday, including three sites in Houston. The Chronicle reports that neither of the two other Houston screenings worked out as planned: The projection at the Central Library was shut down due to "technical difficulties" and one planned for the George Bush Monument never materialized.
