Canada Bans Jim Jones

08.24.05   |   by Verbal Walker
Jim Jones just can’t catch a break can he? The rapper’s new video for the song “Baby Girl” has notbeen added in rotation on Canada's national music station, CHUM Limited's Much Music. The reason is because of t-shirts worn in the video that say “Stop Snitchin” over the top of a red shape resembling a stop sign.

Much Music is said to refuse to air the new Jim Jones video featuring the clothing specifically due to the current rash of gun-related deaths happening in the community of Toronto. With the fatal shooting toll at 33 in Toronto alone, they are very skeptical of airing anything that even would remotely resemble violent reactions.
"I was not in any way trying to promote violence by having those t-shirts in my video. I was simply making a comment on using your integrity.” says Jim Jones

Jim Jones’ new album Harlem: A Diary of a Summer is in stores now.
