like dude said, I think you need a Work Visa, since they will be making money. A passport situation wouldn't cause a trip to be cancelled

but they held me in the Vancouver airport for like 6 hours....said I'm a felon in Canada, made me pay a couple hundred bucks for some additional paperwork....that was pretty weak
LMAO... damn cuzzo that shit is contagious, I got held up for hours a couple of weeks ago in Montreal airport, and I was there on fuckin business. I'm not going to use the R word but those fools would not believe I was out there at a major big money expo, dude kept yappin about if I had ever committed a crime or been arrested. "No sir, but they should have put me away for fucking your fat ugly momma". I didn't actually say that but I was THAT close. I'm not going back to French speaking Canada any time soon, have me posted up in immigration for so long on some bullshit questions, I need to pull a laptop out my ass (well, the plane luggage) just to prove what I'm doing.

And @Sydal, you're probably right playa, it may just have been passports as they were only going to be there a few days, though you do need a Visa to 'work' so I guess they might have needed them to perform. A lot of shit is by the book round here sad to say. Shouldn't or wouldn't have been a problem in my city though, Jamaican dancehall artists run through here all the time and perform unofficially.

Yep that's what I was figuring... I guess they didn't want to risk turning up at immigration over here and either not having a good answer for what they over for (you can't say you're on holiday if Shadow has records and audio equipnment for days in his luggage) or not having the Visa to perform.

Damn shame though, the only American's who walk right in are the old fat ones with cameras and lots of money to spend in McDonalds and tacky tourist shops over here. I'll swap like 20 of them to get Keak and Turfy into the country to perform, I hope they get this sorted for the next time.

"Postponed" but DJ Shadow got other commitments so if there is any re-arrangement it ain't going to be for a minute. And if they can't fit it all in my local show will get bumped, since it prolly pays the least. Venue is more underground.

EDIT.................

Just picked up the latest from the promoter who got it from Shadow's site. It was Keak who got shutdown on. Done too much dirt in the past lol. Mayne Keak is a savage. Here's the 411:

"Shadow here. We had to pull some shows. Why, you're asking? Because SOMEBODY couldn't get their passport and isn't allowed to leave the country due to...shall we say...certain improprieties in the past. [Keep it gangsta, Keak! We'll do it next time bruh - I got your back like a slipmat, as Nump would say]"

Funny how the G-Unit rolls in here whenever they want. Keep it gangsta 50! Visa application, that's one way of seeing whether someone has the rap sheet they rap about. Damn shame they shut down on Keak, WTF is dude going to do over here besides do some shows and make some money.
