UNPRECEDENTED!!! Brazil City BANS Rap Music During Carnival!!!

: MediaTakeOut.com just learned that the mayor of the Brazilian town of Sao Lourenco has taken unprecedented action - he's BANNED HIP HOP!!!

According to the Associated Press, anyone caught in that town either PLAYING or LISTENING to hip hop will be THROWN IN JAIL for 6 months!!! Here's how they're reporting it:

Mayor Jose Neto of Sao Lourenco in southeastern Minas Gerais state told Globo television he was banning songs that incite violence and disrespect authority and wanted to protect more traditional Carnival music, such as samba.

Anyone caught listening to funk -- a pounding beat often with sexual lyrics popular in Rio de Janeiro's slums -- or rap during the Carnival period would have to turn it off or face arrest and up to six months in prison, he reportedly said.

"They are mass gatherings that demand better coordination, control and security that a public festival like Carnival doesn't allow us to adopt," Neto told Globo TV.

DAYUMMMMMM!!!!

I can see why they did this. Rap music is like Popeye's spinach for fools. They get a whole bunch of courage when they sing these lyrics and start wildin' at parties.


eyesotp

They don't want another Freaknic like back in the days in the ATL.


WUTUPDOE313

I hate when people try to blame hip hop/rap music for problems in their society. Thats so lame


tg

I aint mad at him. Carnival is a traditional heritage cultural thing, not a rap fest. Our youngsters need to be more rounded - enjoy different types of music on occasion. My dad used to make us listen to EVERYTHING. We would complain and he would say - you going to listen. lol Now I can enjoy all types of music, not just rap or R&B. There is whole world of music out there. Some interesting, some bad, but there is nothing wrong with being knowledgeable about OTHER things in life, besides Gangster Rap.


phillylove41

Wow...makes you appreciate America, huh?! But then again, me and my siblings weren't allowed to listen to rap music in the house, or there would be some consequences and repercussions! Rules and regulations everywhere, but 6 months of jail time may be over the top, especially when there are much more major corruptions and sins going on over there!


tg

Jail time might be a little harsh - though - I have to admit. Unless someone is repeatedly being disrespectful by continuing to play it - when they've been asked not to play it - FOR NOW. Cheez - its not FOREVER.


trixie

GOOD SOME ONE IS WAKING UP THEY SHOULD HAVE BANNED BEYONCE AND ALICIA FORM THERE WHILE THEY WERE AT IT


MizzThrillz

Yes hip hop is the problem in the world...sit the hell down Mayor Jose !!!


DA7ODKAI

Someone must have been playing that Wacka Wacka Lame music. Anything from Y2K to the present should be banned in the USA as well. One hit single followed by 12 or 13 songs not even worth burning.

C'mon son Phuck outta here with that bullsh*t.


IttyBittyWhitney

*shrugs* oh well, get over it


water13

not all rap is violent OR sexual...



HeartsRob

I agree WATER13...BUT if it's coming from the US then it's more than likely mainstream...and that is all about sex and violence.

It's his right to say no. If people are offended...get an ipod.


TheRealRuckus

I DONT BLAME HIM! THE CARNIVAL IS A TIME FOR THE BRAZILIANS TRADITIONAL MUSIC. WHY TAKE AWAY FROM THAT TO HAVE TO LISTEN TO A BUNCH OF TATTOOED UP BABY MAKING CHIMPANZEES LIKE LITTLE WAYNE MUMBLE OVER A BEAT? RAP USED TO BE GOOD BUT THESE IGNORANT DOPED UP NIGGAZZ TODAY HAVE RUINED IT AND NOW ITS JUST NOISE.


Ms_Jae1

WoooooW!!!!!


onmylevel

Yes some rap music is trash but an individual still has the right to listen to whatever they want. Most of yall who agree with him are only doing so because it's not YOUR liberty that's being infringed upon. I'm sure u would react differently if this was a condition at Mardi Gras this year. Peace


myxy

rap music attracts the ghetto trash.


silky1700

They talking about thier own rappers not American rappers...They have their own hiphop.


Girlsluvgems
