akprodr 06.19.2010 08:54 AM

Maybe they were afraid he would deplete the pot supply?

loubarret 06.19.2010 08:59 AM

He never will. Because dutch pot is way stronger then Americian.

it's proven by to many ultrastoned Americans in amsterdam

akprodr 06.19.2010 11:24 AM

Hmm. Do you know about snoop doogg?

loubarret 06.19.2010 11:48 AM

pbradley 06.19.2010 01:19 PM

Is this what he gets for collaborating with Katy Perry?

loubarret 06.19.2010 03:39 PM

Anything related to Russel Brand after 2008 should be killed and buried

yeah, he's still quite prolific, though I haven't really heard a full album of his since like 2005. Anyway, it's cool that he's still trying. I guess. Though I dont think any of it has been all that relevant since like "Drop It Like It's Hot," which anyone who's in the know, knows was actually a Lil Wayne ripoff from BEFORE people listened to Lil Wayne outside of the South.

Bit of a strange one, this. Until now, the city of Den Haag has refused to give any comments on this, other than that brief press statement about maintaining the "open and friendly character" . That makes me nearly 100% sure that they're affraid of riots/hooligans.

Last summer a free beach party in Hoek van Holland (near Rotterdam and Den Haag) ended in mass-riots instigated by football hooligans, which caused a massive chaos and left one person dead. Ever since then a lot of free events especially in Rotterdam (festivals, street dance parade) have either been banned completely or been subjected to insane security measurements.

Parkpop is a free event and attracts crowds up to 400,000 people. I reckon police must've gotten some info about hooligans planning riots or whatever, which spoils everything for the rest of the people. Cunts.

'homophobic' Jamaican rapper Beenie Man to replace Snoop Dogg

atsonicpark 06.22.2010 04:07 AM

Drop It Like It's Hot was a cool song, has to be the most minimal mainstream HIT rap song ever recorded.

Typical PC posturing from a asinine lackwit whose only concern is denigrating the fictious phantom of lunatical leftism that haunts his sanity and drives him into inchoate mouth foaming rage at the drop of a penny.

The mayor of the Hague has given a further statement about Snoop Dogg being banned. He said the city had information about "rivaling groups" planning to disrupt his show. Rivaling groups is generally a euphemism for football hooligans. Parkpop is an open, free-access festival with no pre-entry checks, etc so they think it's too much of a security risk.

It's not unlikely that Snoop having his picture taken in an Ajax-shirt last year has something to do with this:



 




 


That's tolerance in the Netherlands anno 2010 for you. :rolleyes:
