Rap Group Bone Thugs and Harmony denied entry into Canada because of violent lyrics!

This immigration thing is getting serious. With all the gang activity and homicides in Toronto and Vancouver, the government is not taking chances anymore. After being denied entry into Canada for a five city tour earlier this week, Cleveland bred rap group Bone Thugs-N-Harmony have announced the tour dates for their upcoming U.S. tour. The group revealed that Canadian immigration officials denied them entry into the country because they deemed their music too violent. Remember last summer when Nas was denied a concert venue because of the crowd that would show up and how to control them after? The group has taken the setback in stride and will launch their two month U.S. tour in Portland on February 6th and wrap it up in Connecticut on March 30th. The group also has an additional date in Alabama in June.

Snoop Dogg's ban from the U.K is GONE! He can now enter says a British Judge!

During an interview on CNN's Larry King Live last night (February 1), Snoop Dogg revealed that a British judge lifted the ban which prohibited the rapper from entering the country. The Los Angeles bred rapper was banned from the UK in 2006 because of his criminal record and a widely reported altercation between his entourage and British authorities at London's Heathrow Airport. We all saw the video on TMZ and saw something totally different. “I've been accepted, a judge overturned it,” Snoop told Larry King. “So everybody in the UK, Big Snoop Dogg will be back to give you what yall want.” I wonder.......Did David Beckam have anything to do with that? Some websites are still reporting that his ban still stays which is not true! Here's some of the tape below on his political views. I will have the entire video later including when he took Larry to Roscoe's house of chicken and waffles. His views about gangs and that medical marijuana he's been prescribed.

Rapper Game's mom can really curse like one of those "Friday" movies!

Mama's boy the Game.

Bossip has a clip of The Game’s mom cussing out Spider Loc via voicemail. Damn, Mama Game got some gutter gums. Watch the clip to listen to her rant about sucking di*k in the hood, gang beef, etc. all while Spider Loc counts a “stack” consisting of three 20 dollar bills and a few ones.

Ciara stars in new movie due out in the spring.

Mama, I Want to Sing! tells the story of a preacher's daughter, who rises from the church choir to international pop superstardom. The character is loosely based on Vy Higginsen's sister, Doris Troy, best known for the 1963 pop hit "Just One Look." Higginsen and her husband Ken Wydro wrote, produced, directed, financed, and marketed the play, which was originally rejected by every major producer in New York. None believed that the story was worth telling or that an audience could be found for a gospel based production. Also starring Lynn Whitfield, Ben Vereen, Patti Labelle.
