Kanye West Video Showing Fails in Texas, Rapper Slammed as "Disrespecful" May 28th 2013, 14:17 Note to Kanye West: Stop trying to mess with Texas. On Friday night, the rapper announced a showing of his video for "New Slaves" on a building in Houston, only to have police show up at the Rothko Chapel and threaten to arrest all attendees for trespassing. The event never took place. On Sunday, meanwhile, West told website readers to gather around the Alamo in San Antonio for another viewing. But when hundreds showed up, law enforcement officials were on the scene, saying there was no permit in place for a projection and anyone attempting to put one up would face legal consequences. Chalk up another quashed Kanye event. And also chalk up some criticism aimed at the star, as Texas National Movement member Angie Alexander told MySanAntonio.com that it was "very disrespectful to the people who died" at the Alamo for West to have even conceived of an event there. Mark Loeffler - spokesperson for the Texas General Land Office and the Alamo's caretaker - echoed this sentiment. "It's sad that people have such little respect for the Alamo," he said.
