Can’t have people just running around spouting truth in SF.
It's a rare event here, for sure! Like Berkeley, you're allowed to say whatever you want to say, as long as
it in alignment with the Berkeley status quo. If not, then you're NOT ALLOW TO SPROUT YOUR HATRED!
Now, that's real freedom of speech, just like Andy!
Put it back up on social media and don't apologize it is your right to protest peacefully even in a rap song whether people disagree with you or not. And it behooves London breed to respond to this because it looks like political bullying is happening which can't be good for a re-election
Sad this is taking place
Exactly 💯
@fastwig8598. I'm sure you feel different when the Orange Jesus - Trump spews falsehood & all his hate speech.
Just 'cos you can say it, doesn't make it factual, no matter how many times it is repeated or who backs it up. I'll be with this Tupac wannabe 💯 if the things he says are facts. Get real, get a grip.
Easy for you to say. His restaurant will be destroyed if he doesn't apologize
@@darthvadeth6290The sad thing is that's probably exactly why he apologized. If he didn't the media could easily portray him as a racist or something, since so many people can no longer think for themselves, and the mob would show up with pitchforks and destroy his business and lively hood.
Edit: That's exactly why he apologized. I wrote this before hearing the full apology and he comes right out and says he was threatened and that's why he's apologizing. Interesting they left that part out of the news clip.
That’s extortion. The evidence of what that mayor has done is the fact that it’s not safe to a park a car on the street there.
That rapper had every right to blame the mayor because it’s the mayors fault, and every politician in that city should be blaming the politicians and this news station, holy crap, why don’t you guys start, actually presenting us with some real news, and telling us the whole story! freaking pathetic!
This is disgusting demanding a rapper apologize to elected officials for criticizing them through song. Even if he was misinformed. Unless he was advocating for violence, he shouldn't have to be forced to apologize publicly for anything.
😂...they would have jailed him if he said " trump days were better"
He was leaned on.....totally Mafiosa style!! Do it or else type shit! I don't live in Oakland and now i won't do business there either....
Rap game you never apologized 6000 cars been stolen in the city so far lol The Rap Artist was right the first time
He wasn't "misinformed". Rap doesn't belong to blax people, and that was literally the main point behind the NAACP crying about Chino Yang's song. They were mad because it was a rap song.
Be interesting to hear who's behind the threat.
non college educated, manipulating, black lives matter donor?
NAACP it was stated yesterday they want to rally at his place of business
Dicta…cough president Xi 😅
Probably Gavin
@@luisarteaga9219ur stupid
Ummmm. Maybe he should contact the Feds regarding the threats.
It probably was the feds who contacted him.
Feds are bought and paid for
Lmfao
It must be so scary if you live in usa. And the clintons or pelosi or similar power people are after you 😂 cause even the feds are scared of them lol
non college educated, manipulating, black lives matter donor?
The fact that Willie Brown chose to focus his power to take down a RUclips video, instead of the million other problems our city is currently dealing with, speaks VOLUMES about the politicians currently in power.
No one likes to hear the truth but don't shoot the messenger
Why should he be apologizing? London Breed and her minions have run this city into the ground. Once a city that people flocked to, but now people can't leave fast enough. Retailers are leaving. Residents are leaving. The criminals are moving in. I'm a native of this city and its just heartbreaking to see what it has become under Breed.
I used to visit SF once a year when my husband would work at conventions there. It was a highlight of my year. The last time I visited I noticed a marked change in the city, at that was back in 2015. I haven't been back since and wouldn't go even if I had a free flight and hotel like I did when my husband worked there.
His company don't even book convention jobs there anymore because of thefts of equipment and rising costs of accommodation.
@@your_belief_vs_everything That was at the height of Mayor Ed Lee's era. He brought us AT&T Park which transformed the waterfront area. The development based on that ballpark continued throughout Mission Bay and eventually, Chase Center and the Warriors. What has London Breed done? Besides writing letters to the governor hoping to get her brother out of jail, who is doing time for manslaughter and robbery. Wonder why she supports criminal activities in the city.
I love the rap. It only bothers people because it's true. Rap about something completely untrue and no one would care.
Most rap such as this one is garbage music.
@@themi4155 What is a good style of music?
Damn, that was a forced apology if I ever seen one. Bro is scared. Be safe, brother. We all know you speak truth.
Being threatened for criticizing politicians...the new America
He gets coloradod.
Instead of fixing SF and cleaning up the street, they went after the guy who voice out his frustration. Breed, Willie Brown, and NAACP are disgusting!
Yeah, they only stand up for their own
Don’t be a punk. Stand 10 toes down on what you feel!
Breed’s hood is connected deep in the streets and is allowing her ppls to run the streets the way they are
The people do not need to apologize for criticism of government. That is the whole purpose of our 1st Amendment! Especially when that criticism is directed towards governance!
Do not apologize and do not take down the video!
Using power to silence your critics REEKS of corruption. If you disagree with him make your case as to why you think he is wrong.
I stand with Yang. He has nothing to apologize for!
SPEAK THE TRUTH BROTHER. NO APOLOGIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
comedians, like rappers (P. Diddy/Puff Daddy, Kanye West, China Mac, (Tekashi) 6ix9ine, Meghan Thee Stallion, SEXXY RED, GloRilla, Ice Spice, Jacki-O), get into trouble too, but some people think that they go too far (Matt Rife, Shane Gillis, Ellen DeGeneres, Kathy Griffin or Roseanne Barr-Arnold)
Channel 2 should investigate who this powerful individual is.
They said he had to apologize after some powerful individual spoke to him. lol . Sounds crazy haha
America land of the free 😂
They said “he received threats from a powerful individual”.
so rappers can rap the usual violence and drugs and gangs in the Bay, but when someone raps about the truth then they get silenced.
I have someone who just went to downtown San Francisco three days ago saying it is a shit hole is an understatement and I’m emphasizing the word shit
Downtown??? You didn't go to the rich areas? Should've kept that gas money 🤡
Tell him go to Presidio, Sunset, Portola, Richmond district, Fillmore, Bayview, Potrero Hill, or Excelsior. Chase center and Oracle Park in here looking better than the city you from!
@@seanfulgham8070 Lol! Your Oakland now. Cope!
@@toddpoppleton5303 I'm from Fillmore, born @ the kaiser on divisadero. Lived on Central thank you!!!
@@toddpoppleton5303 goofy az
He had nothing to apologize for.
This sounds less like a genuine apology, and more like intimidation. “You’d better take that video down, or me and the boys are going to make things interesting for you.”
Wth why apologize if this how u truly feel 🤦🏽
Agree!
BEcause of a powerful individual
@mr.b3168 who cares do a video about that powerful individual 🤣🤣
non college educated, manipulating, black lives matter donor?@@snow-uq4gx
because NAACP was going to protest his place of business
the fact that mr. breed, her brother, is in prison for 30 plus years regarding murder, rape, and/or child abuse, still in prison, the fact that she still has not chosen to apologize or communicate or advocate with this business proprietor victim plus his family, their businesses who pay her city plus county taxes to keep her powerful city of san francisco career with her annual compensation, $194,659.00 approximately...The fact that Willie Brown chose to focus his power to take down a RUclips video, instead of the million other problems our city is currently dealing with, speaks VOLUMES about the politicians currently in power.
So I'm guessing a group of armed men broke into his house at night and persuaded him to rethink his opinions
Me thinkest, you have seen too many movies! And perhaps one too many snorts!
@@jeffharrison1090but this is also America so you never know
grow up, you've watched too many movies and apparently, believed them as well! Let me give you a movie/TV line that makes ppl like you smile and seem all so with it.... "it's complicated".
@@jeffharrison1090 if I were the government I would do that too. Just because you see it in a movie doesn’t mean it’s not true. If anything their methods are more elaborate.
Okay! You like that style of play! No problem! What the government tries not to do is to make
a bad situation WORSE! And keep things from unfavorable exposure! Surely, you would agree with
that if YOU were the government. Don't know where this guy lives, but surely it's a neighborhood (and
if in SF/bay area) populated. Should his home have home security, neighbors having security cameras,
cars have security recordings...it would be very easy to "document" this action that the "government"
don't have documented! Home invasion that you would do, would leave a trail a mile long! Unless
of course, you would say, that they confiscated all home video equipment, the neighbors video
equipment, videos from cars, get their user information/pw from everyone in the neighborhood and
deleted the entire neighborhood's recordings! Yeah, those that supports Breed would give them the
information freely, so no coercion is needed...halfway home, right! They got clean away by using your
way of doing things, No video, no fingerprints, no busted doors or windows, no dna, no surveillance
videos, everything totally gone, just like the movies. You're right, I'm convinced, your way is better!@@Lone3wolf31
Chino Yang did nothing wrong. His lyrics express the sentiment of so many of us here trying to get by in SF. If Breed wants different lyrics, then freaking help us, not just those with pockets lined with cash.
Looks like he was under duress.
They got to him and his family
That’s stupid. They tripping cause it’s the truth.
Why ? city leadership and policies are the cause
Hmmm, guess the Mayor sent him a message!? LOL!!!
non college educated, manipulating, black lives matter donor?
Remove the video or the city health inspector will shut down your restaurant, or state controller will AUDIT your ASS for the slightest act of tax evasion. Small business must follow OBEY city govt. or ELSE!
Free country my ass!
DAMN SON GOT BIG SPOOKED
Why would you apologize?
What she has done for the city?😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Don’t apologize to these cowards , there gonna keep allowing all this to happen , yet you hit ‘em in spot they got mad , tell ya something is true there .Tell me did the city help out recover your business? Probably not , so how come they get to call the shots , death threats , and what not is called a mafia ,
He is silenced for telling the truth. And meanwhile, cars, businesses and homes are being broken into every day and people are selling and doing drugs out on the sidewalk, urinating in public, defecating, harassing people...but he's the one who is told to remove a video about all of this.
london breed u from the fillmoe hood how can you let this happen to SF especially someone who came from a tough community how could u allow this to happen to your city?
Why is he being asked to remove the video!!! We should all be supporting this individual. He speak from his personal experience, this is his truth!
There is no “his” truth there is only the truth. He is telling it like it is and the wokety works camt handle it
If anything this exposes they’re true colors and intentions
Don't apologize
WTF? This is America, nobody should ever aplogize for criticizing the government.
No, you can criticize any non black person!
He’s bout to go viral
Apologized!? 😂 Screw that Politicians feelings!
soooo if the other rapper said what he did its alright but when he rap its not alright hmmmm somthing wrong with that
Meanwhile, there are plenty of rap videos explicitly encouraging violence and crime against Asians that go unchallenged.
Someone pressured him into apologizing. It’s bc he has a business. They probably threatened some type of code stuff against him. Sad day.
“He received threats from a powerful individual”
That’s nice. So he’s removing the video because of intimidation from a thug.
Hmmm i would sue, this doesn’t sound right. You cant threaten someone
The Crime Problem in San Francisco is completely man made! And can be ended immediately with the right policies!
Threats from a “powerful individual?”
Is this “powerful individual” going to pay him a visit if he doesn’t take the video down?
Is this “powerful individual” going to make him have Union problems?
Is this “powerful individual” going to make sure he’s audited by the IRS?
non college educated, manipulating, black lives matter donor?
Smh……. Apologizing for what??? For standing up and speaking the truth???
He was threatened for speaking truth
They made him apologize! What kind of horse shit is that.
Never apologize for telling the truth.
Wow. He was forced to apologize 🤦🏻♂️
I wouldn't have apologized 🙄
Take back your apology. Name me one Hip Hop Rap artist who had ever apologized. Rap music is about YOUR truth. And dropping knowledge. Dude. You are right.
It’s cause he’s Asian, facts.
To know who holds the power, simply look to who you cannot criticize.
So she is against freedom of speech. check
How dare you say bad things about us breaking into your cars, your homes, and your shops, ..., we are the people that will get to the promise land !! NOW HAND OVER THAT WALLET!!!
He shouldn’t have to apologize he was expressing his frustration again London Bree’s who doesn’t do anything except protect herself.
He's just telling the truth, why apologize, we have worthless politicians working for the people, from Biden to the Mayor of San Francisco, we need to vote them out.
It could be the clientele that he serves at his restaurant. They could be the ones who are robbing him because he’s a rapper, and that attracts a certain type of crowd.
no
Things are complicated man, I know it's easy to be reductive but this is bigger than that. With that said, I wish you peace
@jepperjep84 lol yeah of course, rap isn't about criminality at all and doesn't glorify or encourage crimes.
are you saying all rap is about crminality and all rap glorifies and encourages crime?@@AmonAnon-vw3hr
Never apologize….
I blame the mayor too
That apology was so sad. Nooooo, don’t take down your song!
London Greed has got to go
Mayors not the problem. City council is horrible. Year after year.
stand your ground
He forgot to say, "I have a black friend" and "I love the blacks" 😅
Never apologize
Shameful and useless politicians and bravo to this rapper for stating the truths.
Don't apologize
We the people
Do your job
Maybe he only needs to apologize for making bad music. The mayor can get stuffed.
don't apologize for the truth
Hey this is a Freedom country so DO NOT APOLOGIZE like you have to do in a communist country! Even it is right it wrong but it is the Voice of people who are suffering from robberies, crimes, homelessness, dirtiness, …. In their hometowns! As people who serve community you should listen to their Voices at least!
Someone trying to shut his business down
This guy doesn’t know how diss tracks work. SMH. They replied, so publish their reply, then drop another diss track in response.
This is just sick. He was threatened for his RIGHT of FREE SPEECH. California has lost it under Dem rule.
That's infringing upon his constitutional and artistic rights. Fuck no should he remove the video.
His mistake was just blaming Breed. The entire board is also culpable, and needs to be fired.
What part of the song is false? Stand up to these political elites!
"I will NOT apologize!" ~ Charlie Murphy
Apologize? for what? id tell em to pound damn sand!!
Rev Brown apologized to Yang a few days ago.. Yang should be compensated for the stress he suffered.
Why remove the Truth... Everything he said is true.
If London was actually doing right by the city, you'd see it. You don't. We certainly saw it during APEC, didn't we? Now, why is that... This dude had to apologize for fear of something greater happening to him and his family.
Lol LONDON BREED AINT DOIN SH!7 FOR SAN FRANCISCO.
What a SHAME!!!!! No need to apologize!!!
DON’T BE SORRY 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
So he was right the crime is outa control LOL
Apologize for what she dont for doing nothing
Freedom of speech. It’s alarming that a “Powerful” figure stepped in.
he got threatened so he apologized
What's Wrong with America
How can anyone tolerate this!! The powerful political idiot just bullied him into submission, and no one is finding out who threatened a simple man expressing himself through music.
They are democrats... They can do anything they want. Just thank them for saving Democracy and then move on...
