Surprise: Ying Yang Twins Concert Elicits Unease

April 23, 2008 RSS Feed Print

The College of William and Mary forced a Ying Yang Twins concert Saturday to end earlier than was originally planned, the Flat Hat reports. According to the university, the change was made to accommodate the city's 10 p.m. noise curfew—which the Flat Hat points out has been broken or bent before. Explicit portions of the rappers' show had already been edited out because of the amphitheater's outdoor location. The student organization hosting the concert had received protests over the explicit lyrics of the Ying Yang Twins, specifically because of the amphitheater's open atmosphere and close proximity to residents.
