Houston Screening Of Kanye West’s “New Slaves” Video Shut Down By Police

    Friday night became another opportunity to see Kanye West’s video for “New Slaves” on buildings across the nation.

    In Houston however, the Rothko Chapel screening came to an early end as police were not feeling the situation and shut down the event. According to the Houston Chronicle police shut down the visual scheduled to show on the Rothko Chapel, Central Library downtown.

    Despite an apparently respectful crowd police pulled up onto the grass, flashed lights and sirens and told everyone to leave before they were to be arrested; people then cleared.

    The library screening was canceled at its scheduled time due to technical difficulties. It was rescheduled at a later time that night until police showed up..

    Kanye announced that his latest video was to be projected at 24 new locations on Friday. Among the other cities in the United States that was to be projected were Philadelphia, Atlanta, San Diego, and Austin.

    1. Why? If it was a respectful crowd and it had been pre-arranged and agreed (as these must’ve been, surely?), there’s no clear reason to do it.

      Bias…

      1. Who do you call if your house is being robbed? I guess you just handle it like a g, huh? lmfao

      2. fucking hell don’t be ignorant, their not all racist fucks, that would be like saying every black man is a crack head, NOT SAYING THEY ARE

      3. so someone hates rappers and you hate them. Well damn sucks for more than half of this country cuz the bad ass above hates you all

      4. @Young Melon

        is obviously a white suburban kid.

        You have no idea how cops treat ppl in poor neighborhoods. If someone robs your house 9 tines outta 10, the cops dont show up til hours later, the cops dont give a fuck when they get there, and then the cops try to find some reason to lock you up or treat you like you’re a criminal.

        Dont speak on shit you know nothin about lil kid…

    2. I talked to the police and the real reason why the police stopped this event is because they hate Kayne West like me. If Lil Wayne was up there, they would have never stopped that. YMCMB FOR LIFE!!

      1. kanye haters? what are you 10? Clearly it wouldnt matter if it was Wayne, Immortal Techique or Bun B. they would still shut shit down cause black ppl assembling. at the end of the day its still Texas-redneck country

      2. who the fuck said black ppl were assembling? where did you get that? you got cameras over there? I saw a lot of white people with their superphones out on youtube in that new slaves leak video. nothin guarantees they were all niggas, mostly even
