"China's Culture Ministry has nixed a concert this month by rap artist Jay-Z at Shanghai's Hongkou Stadium, citing a need to protect local hip-hop fans from nasty lyrics, a report said Wednesday.
"Some of Jay-Z's songs contain too much vulgar language," the state-run Shanghai Daily newspaper quoted Sun Yun, of promoter KS Production Co., as saying to explain the ministry's reason for refusing permission for the Oct. 23 concert.
The concert would have been the Chinese debut for the rap icon, whose real name is Shawn Carter.
The New York rapper's use of profanity and songs about drug dealers, pimps and violence apparently offended the culture czars, who have recently allowed other groups with sexually suggestive songs, such as The Rolling Stones and the Black Eyed Peas, to perform in Shanghai.

Buffie the body admits she has a crush on Twista's manager and she checks her myspace on her down time.

"Usually, sometimes during the week. I’ll have three days off. It’s down time, but I’m still at home on the computer; making contacts, checking my myspace, sending and responding to e-mails. There’s down time when I’m traveling, but I’m always working. I have an office out of my home, some I’m up till three or four in the morning making sure that things are being taken care of. I can’t sleep knowing that something needs to be done. No one cares about my career like I do. I hate weekends because everything closes down. Corporate America closes. You’re not getting your wires in. No money is coming in."
