MUST SEE!!! PLAZA PATROL ACTIVISTS PROFILE AY-MUSIK AND REPORT KANSAS CITY COUNTRY CLUB PARTY DISTRICT HIP-HOP STREET MUSICIAN PERMIT DISPARITY!!!
For the moment, Kansas City's Country Club Plaza remains relatively peaceful despite fear of youth flash mob violence earlier this Spring.
In fact, things have calmed down so much that local activists are investigating other instances of shopping district disparity.
To wit . . .
PLAZA PATROL RECENTLY PROFILED A KANSAS CITY HIP-HOP GROUP WHO CAN'T GET A STREET PERFORMER PERMIT ON THE COUNTRY CLUB PLAZA!!!
This is important considering that the guy with the bagpipes drives me crazy whenever I visit the place and there isn't anybody who can argue artistic merit when it comes to performers forced to play for pedestrians.
Anyhoo, here's pla PLAZA PATROL has to say:
"Over the past few weeks there has been a hip hop band called AY-Musik playing on the Plaza sidewalks, just like the hippies and Hare Krishnas and people who tap plastic cups against their crutches to gain attention and spare change and trumpet players and hoop dancers and bagpipers. Over the past couple of months, it feels as if the Plaza has been transformed from a hostile zone where young, black people get pepper sprayed to a fun, inclusive venue. Granted, the Plaza refused to give AY-Musik a permit like they give all the other street performers, so we will see how it goes. For now, it's fun, fresh, and AWESOME!!
"We have missed them over the past couple of weeks since we usually arrive at the Plaza right around the time they are leaving. AY-Musik plans to play every Friday and Saturday all summer from 5:30 until the crowds thin out (usually around 10:30pm)."

And so, Kansas City's Country Club Plaza remains a cultural battleground as The Great Recession continues for most of this plebs out on the weekend . . .
I can only agree that the performer with the bagpipes needs to go. You can hear him all the way to Westport.
ReplyDeleteAnd not a single fuck was given.

ReplyDeleteA bunch of Hip-Hop nigger trash-talk is really going to help the Plaza become more "Diverse" and slide closer to the fate of DETROIT.
A great plan.
Spectacular.
WELCOME TO DETROIT
When did the Plaza become a venue for circus performers, carnival barkers, and sideshow freaks? Come on can't we have at least one spot in this city with a little class and refinement?
ReplyDeleteGood. stop the black scourge. Stop the black invasion of The Plaza before they all go the way of Halls.
ReplyDeleteClearly these plaza patrol patriots have single handedly cleaned up the plaza, vanquished racial profiling, and insured truth and justice for all. Huzzzah!
ReplyDeleteNow they can move on to the murder of dozens of black folks. I hear they are having a block party next week at 29th and prospect. Dress light and bright.
Perfect way to spend a Sunday; go to the Plaza and listen to some niggers rap.

ReplyDeletePut whatever lipstick that you want to put on this pig, but the paying WHITE customers are not going to the Plaza any more to spend their money. Stores are closing. I won't go near the place and I used to go there all of the time and spend money.
Fuck you racist douchebags.
ReplyDeleteWWW.CHIMPOUT.COM
ReplyDeleteMay be racist douche bags, but they won't be spending their racist douche bag money on the fucking black Plaza....And you know what Jasper? They ain't shit you can do about it.
ReplyDeleteFuck off 6:41.
ReplyDeleteGo choke on your SNAP card.
There ain't shit I can do about it and there ain't shit I want to do about it. Why the hell would I care if racists quit spending money at the Plaza? You're an idiot. Go hang out at Power & White with the rest of the drunk, white idiots.

ReplyDeleteThe Plaza: Next in line to be ruined by the simians of KC.
WELCOME TO DETROIT
I saw this!!!!!!! I was down there. They had 100people on Saturday. Some other band showed up trying to steal their show and a bunch of people left then. TKC got it!!!
ReplyDeleteniggers fuck up EVERYTHING!!!
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteRename it The Welfare Entitlement Club Plaza and watch it crumble like Detroit.
Rename it Plazilla and watch it r0x0rs yr b0x0rs - booyah!
ReplyDeleteIt's really simple. My wealthy white, suburban, nonracist dollars are not going to risk going to a flashpoint area. Gee, I missed that block party the other night, nothing but love going on there...
ReplyDeleteNo more of my money or time will be spent on the Plaza until the dirt gets dug out of the cracks and the cracks get dug out of the dirt.
I used to like that place.
Thanks for telling us what a rat hole it is TKC.
Lulz 9:21 said gee. what is this, 1945? good golly whillakers beev! and you are too a racist. A hip hop band is flashpoint. you are a racist fuck
ReplyDeleteI've seen AY-Musik and they're fine.
ReplyDeleteProbably a dozen groups just like them in KC.
But The Plaza isn't there to be a free stage for everyone in town that wants to act out in a public place.
That's why they have permits. It's a privately owned shopping district. Not a town square.
Yeah, the Plaza isn't for everyone. It's for drunk white people to blast Sir Mix-A-Lot in the bars so that you can hear it a block away and for people of color to quietly read poetry or softly play the sax so as not to scare the white people with badass beatz being played live instead of on CD. The Plaza needs a mariachi band.
ReplyDeleteNo disrespect to Sir Mix A Lot
ReplyDeleteNiggas WIN!!!! Niggas gonna take ovah Kansas City!!! Niggas WIN WIN WIN!!!!!
ReplyDelete10:41 it sounds like you want to debate something but all the beer and football caused your brain to atrophy thereby rendering you almost completely unintelligible.
ReplyDeleteThe Plaza has had a mariachi band before!
ReplyDeleteDid they have a permit?
ReplyDeleteI like to complain and call names on the Internets. It's the only way I feel good about myself and the tiny meat that nobody wants.
ReplyDeleteLulz 9:32. My dollars still won't be spent there. -End of Story- <-Lesson to be learned-
ReplyDeleteFuck the Plaza let the coons have it
ReplyDelete#BottomLine If enough people with $$ are turned off of the Plaza by undesireables, and potentional undesireables they just won't go there. Our neighborhood association group decided to go to ArrowRock instead of the Plaza for their retreat.
ReplyDeleteOf course this is a place that marginals hang around,
Kids ok. PLEASE keep him way the fuck away from Ossco Bolton and creepy Brooks! Oh wait Brooks could get him the permit though. Apparently that's how you have to play it in KC.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the Bannister Plaza Mall. Soon to be an empty field..
ReplyDeleteDead nigger killed by another nigger on the Plaza streets by the end of Summer 2013! It will happen.
ReplyDeleteAll the little meat neighborhood associations are taking a retreat in Arrow Rock this year.
ReplyDeleteTony's KC - do you condone this kind of neanderthal racist commentary?
ReplyDelete8:52, Boo fukin hoo pussy!
ReplyDeleteWhy so racist? The words you guys speak is out of ignorance. There hasn't been a valid point made. Just name calling because [you] don't understand a society of culture, and [your] not diverse. This just means your pretty fucking stupid. Do you speak for the majority is the question? You obviously have been living under a rock or old as fuck to see that society has changed. Theres a new generation and you should just kill yourself if [you] can't appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteI have read all of these comments, and there are several things that surprise me.
ReplyDeleteTo start the amount of blatant racism is astounding. This isn't 1813 it's 2013. The truth is we are all people and we should treat each other with kindness and respect. Aside from that I do think the Plaza will start to decay over the next couple of years due to the patrons (predominately rich stuffy white folk) finding more premium shopping areas in other parts of the city.
While I do think AY-Musik should be able to preform on the plaza, I do not think they should be able to do so without a permit. I understand that the bagpipe guy probably doesn't have a permit (he might thought) but he is only one guy with one instrument that doesn't require an electrical hookup.
There has to be organization and cooperation for this to work.
If AY-Musik wants to make some real money they would and should be playing first fridays in the crossroads. There are way more people there then on the plaza, and the people at FF haven't spent all their money like the ones on the plaza.
Another good way to raise money is a site called
www.indiegogo.com
To recap:
Racism sucks
Musicians should play where ever they like
If that place requires a permit then
YOU NEED A PERMIT
Good luck AY-Musik
ReplyDelete11:51 - Go jump off the Bond Bridge and take your touchy-feely BULLSHIT with you.
Thank you.
Double points if you are a Nigger.
Triple points if you are also a Faggot.
Kansas City won't become a Detroit for obvious reasons like the economy is not dependent on a single industry like automobiles. Depending on tourism is a bad working model on the state level.
ReplyDeleteYou can spout all the platitudes and "feel-good" words you'd like; however, the fact is, blacks are ruining the Plaza. Not only by their mere presence, but also by what they do as a crowd. Mayhem and violence follow them relentlessly. Also, it is probably a foregone conclusion that there will be a killing on the Plaza this Summer and guess who'll commit it....I'll wait.
ReplyDelete12:28 FOR THE WIN!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd here, I was trying to be so good by not calling them NIGGERS, Yard Apes, Monkeys, Coons, Splibs, Blue Gums, Moon Crickets or even Democrats.
ReplyDeleteI like that someone is being polite and talking sense. You racist shitheads can't understand it though because you are a bunch of idiots. Do you even know why you hate people of color? The biggest complaint I see here is that you all say that black people are violent. Well, almost everything bad that has ever happened to me has been due to white people... being targeted at work, getting homes foreclosed on, getting fired or laid off, etc, etc, etc... it's white people behind that kind of shit and then to top it all off you ignorant-ass poor whites sit around blaming people of color because you're broke and ain't got nothin. White dude comes from the bank and takes your shit that YOU can't pay for and you blame people of color and the dude from the bank sleeps safe and sound every night while you gotta worry about getting robbed for what little bit of nothing you got left. You need to identify the real source of your troubles brother.
ReplyDelete1:51 IS A DOUCHEBAG
ReplyDelete8:52 Tony doesn't condone racism - by Kansas City standards, I would say Tony is fairly close to being anti-racist
11:25pm Why in the hell do you think any TKC reader is going to learn any lesson at all from you, much less an absurd, abstract lesson having something to do with you choosing to spend your money someplace that black people are not allowed?
shut up pussy!
ReplyDeleteI hate you.
ReplyDeleteNerds are not cool.
ReplyDeleteRacists are even less cool.
ReplyDeleteWow. I have been here for a year and this is fuckin disgusting. This city has made me sick with all its classism and racist bull. I'm goin back to philly. Go fuck ur racist selves
