Kanye West stopped at 11th hour from projecting music video "New Slaves" on the side of the Alamo

Authorities in Texas have shut down Kanye West's attempt to project his controversial new video on the walls of the The Alamo - and slammed the rapper as being 'disrespectful.'

The incident came just days after the same thing happened at a Houston venue.

More than 500 fans turned up on Sunday night to see the video 'New Slaves' after the event at the historic site was advertised on his official website.

But officials said no permit had been issued for the video projection and the event in San Antonio did not take place.

This marks the second time that Kanye's guerrilla-style promotion campaign has been vetoed by authorities: on Friday, his planned projection onto the Rothko Chapel in Houston, Texas, was shut down by local police.

Full title: Kanye West's guerrilla-style 'New Slaves' campaign is shut down yet again by authorities... this time at historic site The Alamo

I can't express the disgust and anger I feel about this fool's attempted desecration of the Alamo.

Bump

Remember the Alamo.

Don’t piss on it or play a movie on it.

Maybe Kanye should head to the White House. I'm sure the Prez & Michelle wouldn't mind him projecting it on the White House walls.

Or, here's a nice flat surface suitable for projecting his video!:

Just watch. This fool’s going to find some other historic Texas landmark to project his filthy video on. I hope that law enforcement stops him every single time he tries it.

Good suggestion, GW, but you know he won’t go there. Wouldn’t project the right sort of message, you know?

That’s not music. It’s a angry racist black guy muttering at a camera.

A friend of mine knew a aspiring rapper/thug. Never trusted him as he would wander around muttering hate filled rap lyrics. Later found out he was arrested after the cops were called to his house for domestic violence for beating his GF and dealing drugs.

Mr. West should be escorted to the New Mexico border. And thrown out of the car.

Ozzy learned his lesson. You’d think Kanye would have taken notice.

What news slaves? The taxpayers?

Seriously, what idiotic tripe is this individual promoting?

Just realized to whom I was posting. Hope you had a peaceful and blessed Memorial Day weekend, Windflier!

Agreed. It's a bunch of angry, thumping noise.

You would think.

Maybe the Fish Dicker never heard of the Ozzy man report.

It was good! We had a great patriotic festival here in our town, and even though I had to work today, I didn't forget what the day was about. I sang Chicken Fried to myself all day :-)

Kenya relinquished all claims to concern about slavery of his forefathers by joining the party of the Confederate, the KKK, Jim Crow laws and the filibuster of the 1964 civil rights act.

I wish Ozzy Osbourne would bite Kanye West’s head off!

I’m fairly sure that messing with the Alamo is a hanging offense in Texas.

I've been there many times. Let me make sure everyone understands etiquette at the Alamo - DO NOT DISRESPECT THE ALAMO!!!

It is still a functioning a missionary and a hallowed battle site. As Davy Crockett said before going to die at the ALAMO:

"you may all go to hell and I will go to Texas"
