Funny how Canadian officials think their music is too violent... granted it does have a little talk of gunplay, but unless you're listening very carefully, most of what you hear is just "daadadfjodjsfjdsfjfodsfs bone thugs jdskfjadsjfd mo thugs sldfjjfwioeojefifeofe"

^I wouldn't trust the information, much. Most likely, at least one of the members had a felony or misdemeanor within the last five years, or was on probation within the last five years, which is enough to be denied entry. The "music too violent" argument I just don't buy into much.

^ Sounds about right.

I'd like to make their L.A. show if I can...

Yup, nobody really tours in Canada cuz of the whole bullshit (ur not allowed into Canada cuz u have a criminal record)

Although I find it funny that that crimes in the states that'll get u easy jail time for in Canada will get u like probation, maybe community service and a curfew.
