djsienpileggi Posted February 26 Report Share Posted February 26 If im not mistaken, they are not trying to ban hip hop from Las Vegas all together.. the proposal is to ban HIP HOP Concerts from being held at the Thomas Mack center.. If it was an entirety .. I think alot of the Casinos that are making so much money with the HIP HOP clubs would let their voices be heard and come to the panel. They are the strongest voices out of everyone.I dont think they would let anything jeopardize their money making mule... but if this was something else that you were talking about .. let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outofthebox Posted February 27 Report Share Posted February 27 Such a simple concept that ignorant people don't (wish to) understand...Rappers don't shoot people.Black people don't shoot people.Bling doesn't shoot people.Music doesn't shoot people.Criminals with guns shoot people.Ban the murderers and stop using their crimes to justify a movement to ban things you dislike or fear.And politicians, stop using people's fears as a means to further your political career. It will backfire when you try to limit freedoms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
