You got no break whatsoever in India. I had no clue that Taj served food, I thought it was only a picture spot. I had similar issue when I went Luanda with the foods I only consumed things from a supermarket(Expensive) as I was advised by a doctor and I got a sheet of paper detailing what not to consume. LOL the cows over there are deities yet
it's on the menu these guys are mad slow.These Indians make the citizens of Luanda look hygienic

RIP Champ
It was definitely an experience and I don't want to deter anyone who really wants to travel to India, Ive been told not all of India is like Mumbai...The developers I was working with were from New Delhi and they detested Mumbai as much as I did...

What do the lynchings during that time have to do with black people pushing genocide and degeneracy on our own people through the current music?

I assumed that you were talking about the Taj in Agra. The hotel that you were is in a good spot, for a second that particular area looked like a British coast.

Well it was built by the British and yes its a great spot, the building with the arch all the way to the right is a historic landmark known as the Gateway To India built by the British to commemorate the landing of some queen I don't remember...Unfortunately everything around it is a shyt show, the area is extremely crowded and filled with locals looking to rob tourists...Imagine being stuck in an auditorium filled with those Microsoft robo call scammers...
The Taj Mahal Hotel Palace itself is the flagship property of Taj Mahal resorts, the first one built in like 1905...It is absolutely fantastic and the only good thing about my trip to India...

China Has Banned Hip-Hop Culture and Tattoos From TV Shows

China has banned hip-hop culture and actors with tattoos from appearing on television.
The country’s top media regulator — the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television of the People’s Republic of China (SAPPRFT) — now “specifically requires that programs should not feature actors with tattoos [or depict] hip hop culture, sub-culture (non-mainstream culture) and dispirited culture (decadent culture),” Sina, a Chinese news outlet, reports.
Gao Changli, director of the administration’s publicity department, outlined four “Don’t” rules on Friday:
Absolutely do not use actors whose heart and morality are not aligned with the party and whose morality is not noble
Absolutely do not use actors who are tasteless, vulgar and obscene
Absolutely do not use actors whose ideological level is low and have no class
Absolutely do not use actors with stains, scandals and problematic moral integrity
The ban follows the removal of the prominent rapper GAI from Hunan TV’s Singer, a hit competition show. Clips of GAI, whose real name is Zhou Yan, were also removed from China Hunan TV’s official Youtube Channel, but no official explanation has been given. He does however appear in the show’s trailer:
Wang Hao, aka PG One, another well-known rapper, was forced to apologize earlier this month after one of his songs, “Christmas Eve,” was criticized for promoting drug culture and insulting women.
Rapper Mao Yanqi, aka VaVa, was cut from the variety show Happy Camp, according to Tecent News. Music by Triple H, an influential underground rapper, has also been removed from major streaming sites. And a contestant on the show Super Brian, which is not hip-hop related, even had his hip-hop style necklace blurred out.
Chinese social media has responded angrily to the ban.
“SARPPFT is so trashy! They didn’t want to give Chinese hip pop singers any chance of survival! we can go back to ancient times,” wrote one user on Weibo — China’s equivalent of Twitter.
“How can a government with high culture have such childish logic?” asked another.

BEIJING/SHANGHAI (Reuters) - China’s censors have a new target in a widespread clamp-down on popular culture: the country’s nascent hip-hop scene, which resonated with Chinese youth last year on hugely popular television show “Rap of China.”

Hip hop artists Wang Hao, known as “PG One” and Zhou Yan, known as “GAI” - the two winners of the show - have been sanctioned in recent weeks for bad behavior or content at odds with Communist Party values. GAI was pulled from hit show “The Singer” last week.
The crackdown on hip-hop, still very much a new genre in China, reflects a broader squeeze on popular culture as the country’s stability-focused leadership looks to rein in potential platforms for youthful dissent.
Beijing is eager to use popular culture to shape public opinion, including co-opting rap artists ahead of its five-yearly congress last year. With state support comes the insistence that Party values must take center stage in the artists’ work.
The latest cleanup started when PG One was forced to apologize for lewd lyrics, which critics said were insulting to women and encouraged the use of recreational drugs.
The official Xinhua news agency wrote that PG One “does not deserve the stage,” and that “we should say ‘no’ to whoever provides a platform for low-taste content.” Other official media and companies quickly followed suit; the rapper’s tracks were soon pulled from most online sites.
GAI, who had been in third place on The Singer, broadcast by Hunan TV, was cut from the program last week with no reason given. Rapper Vava was hastily edited out of the same station’s flagship variety show “Happy Camp” because of her association with hip-hop culture.
“Hip-hop’s prospects in China seem dim after Chinese rappers removed from TV shows,” read one headline from influential state-run tabloid Global Times on Sunday.
The same paper this month said hip-hop - which it called a “tool for people to vent their anger, misery, complaints” - did not suit China and “cannot thrive” here.

The campaign underscores a broader clean-up of cultural content from video games, online streaming and even performance art amid a drive to make cultural products adhere to mainstream socialist core values.
PG One, Vava and Hunan TV could not immediately be reached for comment. GAI, who had tried to make his act more Party-friendly - including an impromptu performance in which he sang the words “long live the motherland” - did not respond to requests for comment.
Chinese news portal Sina reported on Friday that China’s broadcasting watchdog had said immoral and vulgar content should be kept off the air, including hip-hop - and even tattoos.
The State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television did not respond to a telephone request for comment from Reuters on Monday.
This is not the first time Chinese musicians have run afoul of local censors. In 2015, China’s culture ministry banned 120 songs - mostly rap - for “promoting obscenity, violence, crime or threatening public morality.”
In July last year, Beijing’s Municipal Bureau of Culture said it was “not appropriate” for Justin Bieber to tour in China because previous performances there had created “public dissatisfaction.”
A month later, organizers aiming to bring Grammy Award-winning artists to China said they would only “promote artists with a positive and healthy image.”
Li Yijie, a patriotic rapper with government-backed band Tianfu Shibian, said that regulators weren’t blacklisting the genre as a whole, but that recent scandals meant “some institutions, firms, TV stations and the public had lost confidence in hip-hop.”
“Maybe local television stations think it is too sensitive to run hip-hop shows now,” he added.

Just gonna make it more popular. People love shyt they can’t have or are told not to do. That’s how Hip-Hop always been. It’s always been that cool thing ya parents tell you not to listen to
That's when hip hop was subversive, a musical aesthetic of the urban counterculture that spoke of a reality that resonated with its black listeners and attracted the curious ears of others who had never heard anything so dangerously infectious. That music is long dead, replaced by corporate propaganda that specifically targets our community with the language of self destruction.
You can't suppress this shyt. Them doing this is literally promoting rebellion.

You don’t think there was propaganda back then too? Why y’all nikkas think that every rapper was Common or Wyclef back in the day? Like every rapper was Jay-Z or Nas. Like the Sugar Hill gang wasn’t talking about absolutely nothing
But it ain’t even that deep. Either way, it’s still something parents tell their kids not to listen to, and the youngins rebelling just like the last generation had
I can't wait for the revolution in China.
American culture is an example of soft power and this will backfire immensely.
This is proof we need to export MORE of it.
