Performing in the downtown Power & Light Districtโ€”which some call the Power & White district stemming from dress-code restrictions which seem targeted at keeping the hip-hop audience away from the areaโ€”concert promoters allege that Jazzy Jeff's sound technicians were asked to turn down the decibels to an appropriate level, a request the techs refused to comply with. The show was halted, the sound levels were adjusted and, according to one source, the DJ refused to continue to his set thereafter.

Jazzy Jeff tweeted a different theory:

I MEAN I WAS PLAYIN SHIT LIKE JUST A FRIENDโ€ฆITS A HEINEKEN COMMERCIAL FOR GODS SAKEโ€ฆAND 3000 PEOPLE WERE ROCKINโ€ฆWTF MAN

SORRY KCโ€ฆI HAD SOMETHING SPECIAL PLANNEDโ€ฆ

KC LIVE SUCKSโ€ฆTHEY SAID THEY WANTED TOP 40โ€ฆLOOK AT THE TOP 40 LIST JACKASS

ONCE AGAIN Iโ€™M SORRY TO KCโ€ฆ

Does KC just not understand or did DJ Jazzy Jeff need to turn down his tables?
