Ban threat aborts Sizzla UK tour

Friday, November 5, 2004

In A BBC Report.
The government is considering banning reggae star Sizzla from the UK as police investigate "anti-gay" lyrics.
All five dates on Sizzla's UK tour were cancelled on Wednesday after gay rights campaigners protested against the star.
"We have received representations against the visit and we are considering those representations," a Home Office spokesman said.
Scotland Yard is examining lyrics by eight reggae artists, but they would not confirm that Sizzla was among them.
Born in Jamaica as Miguel Collins, Sizzla has released 25 albums since 1995 and is credited with taking dancehall music back to its reggae origins.
One of his most controversial songs, Pump Up, contains the Jamaican patois lyrics "fire fi di man dem weh go ride man behind", translated by gay rights group OutRage! as "burn the men who have sex with men...".
He was due to arrive in the UK on Tuesday night, to perform in Milton Keynes, Bradford, Birmingham, London and Bristol.
Venues said Sizzla had signed a contract which prevented him from performing homophobic, racist or sexist lyrics in concert.
Nevertheless spokesman for the Stratford Rex venue in east London said it called off Saturday's Sizzla concert as a result of "circumstances beyond our control".
It said: "We will continue to support reggae and hope to rearrange concerts with popular and established artists from Jamaica."
The Metropolitan Police's Racial and Violent Crime task force is investigating lyrics by Beenie Man, Elephant Man, Bounty Killer and five other reggae artists after a complaint from OutRage!
The group urged its supporters to ask venues to re-think staging Sizzla's proposed concerts, on the grounds that the star "incited racist and homophobic violence".
OutRage! member Brett Lock described the cancellation of Sizzla's UK tour as "a triumph".
"We are glad that those who stood in the way have come to their senses and that all the thousands and thousands of people who took up the call have been successful," he said

I THEN STOMPED HIM ON THE GROUND AND PUNCHED HIM OVER AND OVER

I PUMMELED HIM
A FEW DAYS LATER IN THE DAYTIME I SAW HIM WITH CRUTCHES HIS HEAD WAS WRAPPED UP I COULD SEE BLOOD ON THE CLOTH HIS RIBS WERE BANDAGED UP AND HIS LEG WAS ALL WRAPPED UP.
HE DESERVED IT. THATS WHY I LIVE IN BROOKLYN NOT MANHATTAN TOO MUCH BATYMAN I AM PROUD OF WHAT I DID

Ban threat aborts UK tour
I think that it is an outrage, when now that the artist are becoming more mainstream gay activist wants to protest against our reaggae artist. The bible condems it, so why aren't they trying to get rid of the Bible.

sizzla
the gays have their spokes people why dont we straight and the people who are against these abominations come together and protest that nobody has a right to tell us who to listen to.
if fire fi bun let who the cap fit feel it .if them gay them didnt feel they a do wrong why are they fighting down people who are speaking there mind. as long as sizzla dont call any man by his birth name ,a battyman and thereby call for violence against him then he has the right to say what he pleases.
Every day dem a say they are fighting to have a free world but on the other hand telling us what we should say and who we should listen too.
If the gay them think there are so much people who are sensitive to dem cause let sizzla proform and see if nobody comes to the show -then they will have them answer.
p.s - tell them who try use the bible to justify that the book of Ezekiel says Any sex that cannot produce an offspring is a sin i.e ( battyman, lesbian, oral etc.)

Sizzla
I love the dancehall, and also couldn't care less what anybody does in their own bedroom. Everybody got the right to say what they want. Almost all the people who are not from Yard didf not have a clue what they are saying, that is until Outrage started publicizing this. Stupid and DOES make me angry at THEM.

RE: freedom of speech
first of all sizzla is jus 1 of many hu thinks that the thort of 2 men in bed is BLUCLAAT NASTINESS. so y pick on him wen there r worst ppl than him. his has his own right to give his opinions whether ppl like it or not coz the times wen WHITE ppl wer racist 2 black ppl, nothin was sed but as soon as a black man makes a statement, every1 has sumthing 2 say.
secondly, he talks about bunnin dem naty batty bwoi dem but never has actually dun it, so wer is the harm in that? he jus dnt like them the way they didn't like us. and even thou i live in london, that still dnt mean i agree with them

Lawd
Seem like today everyone wants to tip toe around the gay issue and not offend anyone that's bi or homo, wha the hell dis world coming to. Sizzla's lyrics doesn't affect the way I treat anyone nor does capelton I don't like the whole gay scene and what they tryna promote but at the seem time I'm not gonna go out there and attack someone cuz of anti gay lyrics; man I feel you have the freedom to voice the way you feel about the issues in society today. Most of the artist choose to do it thru music and so be it. I really think these gay ppl does get too much uneeded attention and they really making ppl not like theM more and more cuz they always bitching man, bout everything, anything ya do or say today could be offensive to them... dam only thing left for these gay lawds to do is bleed for 5 days and they would be complete. ...TO ALL THE FASSY'S OUT THERE GET OVER YOURSELF NO ONE HAS TO EXCEPT YOU PPL CAN TOLERATE YOU BUT NO ONE HAS CHANGE WHA THEY BELIEVE TO FIT FANTASY'S OF BEING FEMALE
