JAY-Z TOLD TO SHHHHH BY PUBLIC LIBRARIANS

We're not convinced that the sudden scrapping of the Detroit Superbowl part Jay-Z was planning down at the library was because the librarians were scared of the raw force of hiphop. We know some things about American librarians, and frankly, their lifestyles would make yer average Puff Daddy look like a young seminarian. Anyway, the City suggests that forms weren't filed; the organisers claim they did, and it's all gone a bit nasty. Would-have-been promoter Demetrius Carrington fumes:

"I've done [events with] Prince, R. Kelly-all type of shit. I think they got scared because of the scope of the event. I think they are a bunch of older conservatives who decided it was too much to handle.

"I was just upset because they were so unprofessional to me," added Carrington. "For us to be in financial ruins in this city and for somebody to arbitrarily change their minds is ridiculous. We were going to employ 100 security detail. They issued me a preliminary contract; we could've done something legally. I was very disappointed. They have one of the biggest venues in the city that is probably going to sit dark [on] one of the biggest weekends that Detroit will have for a long time."

Plus, they're going to have all those copies of LL Cool J's HipKidHop sitting around not being checked out.
