Un-1 aka Marc Stokes, a Canadian Freestyle rapper from Vancouver BC, recently received this voicemail:

Granville Street is the loudest street in our city, it is Named the Entertainment District, and is the perfect venue for outdoor music in Vancouver. English bay during the day time, with quieter volumes is also a wonderful outdoor venue for music and street entertainment that is enjoyed by many.

Un-1, or Marc Stokes has the birthright, as do all Canadian Citizens to Gather peacefully and to express himself freely as stated in the charter of rights and freedoms:
"CANADIAN CHARTER OF RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS

"Thank you for your support, I promise to continue my focus on creating positive music that supports my community"

this is so white.

this is so white.

Wow, way to be racists, Congratulations on being ignorant in 2012…

way to be so stiff. i'm kidding. but admit it is funny to sign a petition for someone to rap on the streets. I signed it. he's harmless. albeit waaayyyy too loud for the public space, but whatever.

Settle down there white boy. I have seen your act and find it annoying.
Quit while your ahead a get a real job. My 2 cents.

wait a second.

is stokes the same guy? If so, Heathen, that's a bit harsh.

oh man.

While I support free speech, the VPD didn't ask the CoV to take away your busking permit because you weren't annoying citizens and the cops. I know situations like this do anything but persuade activists from changing their tune…

I'd say you are the author of your own misfortune. They are called "consequences". Life is full of them.

Hard Tack can't support someone who posts in the third person.

So I helped write the rules for the busking program man, they knew from the beginning that I had amplified vocals. This has nothing to do with being to loud. I have turned down my music since, this has to do with a police officer that has a grudge with me specifically. I play there all the time, he doesn't like my music, not everybody does, but by in large I make people smile. My real job is music, and I am actually smiling at the hypercritical comments, and was to the white boy one too. Text fails to communicate tone…
regardless I am confident that if I can spread this to the public that most people i have performed to enjoy it and will support.

btw, if for some reason anyone wanted to ever challenge me to a freestyle battle, I will bet you 50 bucks anytime, anywhere.

Anyways, seriously regardless of haters, love to all. Enjoy that positive return, its endless/
love is cooler than tailwhips.

What did you do to get the liscence taken away?

Yes!
