This is a truncated version of rapper Lupe Fiasco's performance from a pre-Inauguration show last night in D.C. The juice on Fiasco's performance was pulled after he went in to a rap that called President Obama out for various policies. 

What were organizers thinking? As the Daily Caller notes,

During an interview with CBS in 2011, he called the president a terrorist. Lupe said, "My fight against terrorism, to me, the biggest terrorist is Obama and the United States of America. I'm trying to fight the terrorism that's actually causing the other forms of terrorism."
