'Vulgar' Jay-Z not welcome

Shanghai-based Jay-Z fans, this is just not your day. The Chinese government cancelled Hova's upcoming concert due to the rapper's controversial lyrics.

According to the Associated Press, the Chinese Cultural Ministry is just looking to "protect local hip-hop fans."

The cancellation is being blamed on the fact that "some of Jay-Z's songs contain too much vulgar language."

More vulgar than, say, the Black Eyed Peas calling for universal retardation? Or the Rolling Stones' assertion that you can "make a dead man come"? It looks that way, since both these groups have recently been allowed to perform in the country.
