Today I was cruzin around my TV and I flipped to my MTV Jams channel and saw this video with people skating in it. I skateboard so whenever I see a music video with someone skating in it I watch it. Anyways I didn't think it was unusual to see people skating on a Hip Hop channel because of Lupe Fiasco, Pharrell and others. So I found out the video was called Vans, and it was by a group called The Pack. I noticed they had a lot of censored words and that you never actually hear the word vans in the song, so I looked it up on youtube and it turns out that MTV censored the words vans, adidas, nikes, and pumas. They also took out a part of the video where it shows them throwing away nikes and putting on vans, also the song was originally called Got My Vans On. So I thought that was wrong to censor that and then I thought, when did vans become gangster? Was the company behind this video to make money? So I looked up a few articles and stuff, but I wanted to know what you all think. Link To Video

It makes me sick how people picture what a "gangster" is.

Titan, censorship sucks, esp in music these artists are trying to express themselves , without their own words how can they do that? It's not harming anyone, if you don't want to hear it don't freakin listen!!!!!

@ Lonely Lips, I agree Gangsters dont have to be coloured and rap, There is a bit of gangster in most people, I think?.
I don't agree with putting people in boxes. This one's a Gangsta, this one's a Rocker. I say embrace all music and culture as long as it doesn't harm anyone.

Just for the record I love heavy rock, but I also love the Carpenters, Glenn Miller ohh the list could go on for ages.

I would like to encourage the musicians out there who have music videos on MTV to advertise ThinkTanks in their songs. I'll send you free candy.

The movie is really funny.
