Another blow was dealt to Boston's hip-hop reputation last week when Epitaph indie-rapper BUSDRIVER walked out on a Harpers Ferry gig after the club's soundman made a racist remark to one of Busdriver's crew members. Yesterday, the club released a formal apology to the rapper, stating that the club has a "zero tolerance" policy towards such remarks, that the soundman in question had been fired, and that the club is committed to further sensitivity training for its remaining employees.

First off, this was recorded a couple of hours BEFORE the band stormed off stage at the Paradise the other night, apparently pissed off by a bunch of drunken yahoos. So no more enlightenment on that point, but FNX's Sandbox crew gets to the bottom of his new haircut and preference for chewing tabacky.
