This concert was not disrupted inside everyone performed without incident, and it was an amazing calm peaceful event, professionally run. My understanding was the things you are talking about took place OUTSIDE and across the river. Responsible journalism is a very important aspect of media press coverage. It would be best to get your fact straight before connecting Artist's and their performance and careers to such slander.

Straight Up T.T! Autumn Jones is, without a doubt, the life-blood of Your Black Hip-Hop. "BROKLYNGRL" is of course, out of touch with reality.
