YouTube videos are great. Post info online or contact Murder Inna Dancehall http://tinyurl.com/ye8paw2 or Peter Tatchell or someone.

As a consequence he had performances canceled in Basel, Switzerland and in France in 2008.<br /><br />This PDF file has information about Capleton's violation of his RCA agreement and points to a YouTube video where you can actually hear him break his RCA agreement http://tinyurl.com/y873vtm <br /><br />You have to listen very carefully for lines like: "Battyman fi dead di yuth em right bout that" ("Faggots must die.
