Action Bronson to be pulled from NXNE's Yonge-Dundas Square show

[MikelArteta]

Controversial rapper Action Bronson will not be performing in Yonge-Dundas Square next month, a somewhat heavy-hearted North by Northeast festival announced on Friday.

The New York MC was scheduled to play the square on June 21 as part of a hip-hop bill free and open to the public during NXNE. But an online petition started on Tuesday by a woman named Erica Shiner arguing that Action Bronson’s music “glorifies gang-raping and murdering women” and asking that he not be allowed to perform in a city-owned public space had drawn nearly 38,000 signatures by the end of the work week and finally convinced the festival to capitulate.

heard that fat slob for the first time yesterday

Ghost needs to cut his beard off with a rusty switch blade

he really raps bout gang-raping and murdering women??

 

[BlackManLiveFromLondon]

Nothing to celebrate about

Just feminists complaining about an artist and an event that most won't be attending

You can't generalize a musician based on a song he made back in 2011 I don't care if he called a song 'Consensual Rape' thats no reason to ban a man when hes gonna go and perform the shyt on his latest album Mr Wonderful

  Montreal's Pang Attack do droney melodic popscapes for antsy introverts. Analog keys, layered guitars, super-chill vibes, and psychedelic imagery. Sit back and vibe out to their tasty shoegaze meets psych-pop hybrid.

Feminists dug up a song he did back in '11 called Consensual Rape

With the exception of the few lines they quoted, its the typical Action Bronson of random quotes and food references

 

[Another Man]

Funny how The Coli's hate for white rappers outweighs their hate for feminists.

Sorry, can't support Action Bronson. Biting is a sin.
