    There has been some loose organization of a protest/rally tomorrow at the Pantages theater at noon to support Tacoma hiphop. March 10, 2008.

    This is what was posted by the promoters:

    The city of tacoma would like you to believe they are for diversity and growth, but we call their bluff! They welcomed a rap show in december. They wanted the new and fresh to share in the performing arts community. Rottweiler rented the building hired e40 , tickets went on sale, Kube started advertising, then the TPD stepped in. To insure the safety of the night we agreed to hire additional security including 19 tacoma police officers, 20 staff pro employees, and the numerous broadway center staff. (for an event that holds only 1100 people) then they gave us three days to pay all of these people. And when we give them there money and jump through their hoops, they then decided to scare the community. They want to blame e40 but they couldn't prove any violence at his concerts, so they want to blame the local artists and their fan base. They would like people to believe that if you throw up your neighborhood or hang in a certain part of town, or try to put a certain event on you are condoning gang activity. They are using your myspace posts and comments for their arguments. They claim the Rottweiler crew and e40 will bring violence and riots downtown that night. So its time to join together to show the communities and hip hop events don't constitute gang violence. We are speaking out and would like your feelings on the subject. rottweiler is a family and community based organization. that support all the performing arts of all kinds!

    Organization then started happening online and plans to rally in protest started popping up.

    If you become involved in this rally we at 253hiphop.com endorse a no violence peaceful rally.

    " go down to the pantages right now the promoters are down there now. Lets ralley they are trying to ban hip hop in the 253."

    its now 2:30 little late to show up, you can't tell people to show up at 1:00 for a rally and not be there then

    I'm not kidding. Im going to kill every last one of everyone... Shit son. Fuck those who cannot use logic. If people want to believe that I'd go down there and "pop off some rounds" then they deserve to live in fear.

    i think it was kinda gay that u got censored. I laughed when i saw the comment, and knew of course that it was meant to be funny. But i also understand 253 being responsible with moderation of the site.

    rottweiler records

    we regret to inform everyone that the rottweiler records e40 concert has to be posponed and probaly moved out of our town. Anyone with tickets they will be honored. Date and place still to be announced. Unfortinatly the city of tacoma and the broadway center believe that rap will just bring gang violence. And even though it is a broadway center for the performing arts. They've made it loud and clear that they do not want the growth. Not only has our show been stopped, but they are also trying to shut down anything related to hip hop and rap. So we invite you to join us for a peace rally friday march 14th at the panatges on 9th and broadway. Come show your support for all the artists. And help show the community can gather in the name of hip hop in peace . If you can't make it at least call your city council and let them know that rap and hip hop are just as much art as anyother musical composition and has every right to be preformed and enjoyed by everyone.

    Thank you for the support- rottweiler records
