Brooklyn-based “death rapper” NECRO has issued the following update:

“I decided to leave the tour collectively with my manager and booking agent (both tour organizers) because we felt the tour’s demographic was not receiving hip hop well. I was facing hostile, disrespectful crowds and was returning the same energy back ten-fold by being more aggressive than them. It was making a lot of people in the tour crew nervous and there was concern someone might get hurt (NOT ME). It was also being suggested that maybe I tone down my live show and not antagonize the already antagonistic crowd. I couldn’t roll with that as it’s not my style. I was holding back enough as it is but there is a line. All the bands on the tour loved us and everyone behind the scenes knew we displayed major heart and never once got phased by the hostility. We finished every show with middle fingers up and a big ‘Fuck You’ to the crowd.

I will make one thing clear for the haters: we NEVER got booed OFF the stage. Not once. Yes a ton of emo kids booed us at every show, but we had a twenty-five minute set every night and we stayed on stage for every minute of it, and we represented. Every show had at least 100 to 200 NECRO fans in the pit tearing it up, and our meet and greets were incredible! It’s just a shame these little kids are so close-minded. The majority of the hate was coming from mop top emo sixteen-year olds who have no clue who the originators of metal are, and didn’t respect my rest in peace chant to metal legends (Dime, Cliff, Chuck, Piggy, SOB).

As far as the tour organizers and I are concerned, you are my people so it’s all love and I’m thankful for the opportunity to prove I can murder it in the worst of situations. This actually did a lot for me and is just one move in many my team will make to blow NECRO up.”

anyone who goes to that tour doesn’t really have the right to boo someone for not being “metal” enough.

and while he’s not an amazing rapper, it’s cool to see someone willing to try something like that.

Good. I dunno why he was on the tour in the first place, whether he was “metal” enough or not.

At least he doesn’t represent a pathetic image like most rappers in today’s society.

lol devil what are you on. SOTU is fucking awesome, yes there are some bands there that I didn’t want to see but fuck, you can’t expect every band there to be amazing. This tour beats a lot of other ones out there this year. You get to see fucking GWAR, Amon Amarth, Job For A Cowboy, Shadows Fall, Chimaira, etc FOR $40!!! That’s a fucking killer deal considering the show last all day.

This guy is completly Delusional… I was at the Orlando show to check out JFAC, Amon Amarth, Shadows Fall and Gwar.

Necro took the stage to straight hostility. There were literally 3 guys in the crowd with necro shirts on and they were the only three up front.

Not once did Necro get hostile with the crowd, he just pretended like they loved him. They were throwing out free shirts, to have them thrown back. And he was making desperate attempts to appeal to the metal crowd by dedicating a song to “the memmory of dime bag darrel”.

He put out this message trying to put out a tough image like he was yelling at crowds to the point where he may hurt someone, and he had hundreds of fans at every show… total bullshit.

I respect the guy for what he does, booking him for that tour was a huge mistake. But take it like a man, dont put out a message like this trying to be a tough guy when you took it like a bitch every night.

All the bands loved Necro? BAHAHAHAHAHA.

That must be why GWAR made Necro one of their victims at their Edmonton show on the 28th. First they fed “Necro” a gigantic crack rock, then shot him up with a giant needle and his head blew up.

That plus watching some guy from an emo band get his ass kicked after the show made it all worthwhile.
