Playing a sixty minute set, Classified rhymed off many old and new tracks and left the impressive crowd satisfied as the show concluded. The artist, of Enfield Nova Scotia fame, took the return visit back to StFX to get the crowd jumping and break some rules.
"The artists on stage did at one point appear to be smoking a joint. The lyrics to the accompanying rap only served to draw attention to the weed but CP's took care of the situation," noted VP Communications Neil Stephen Sunday.
A later attempt at smoking on stage resulted in the police being called to the venue just after the concert had ended. "It's near impossible to control what an artist does on stage. We don't really care what someone does on their own time, but you can't even smoke a cigarette in a bar, let alone a joint, so the CP's did a good job of addressing the situation," said Stephen.
Despite the drama, party goers screamed along with the hip-hop tracks and seemed appreciative of the art not seen often on our StFX campus.

Class is from Enfield, not Elmsdale.
You guys know that he's going to spark a joint on stage every time he performs, so why do you keep booking him?
Glad to hear the CP's called the cops on him. That's stellar hospitality.
No, we did some research first. He didn't smoke on stage at several local universities including Acadia in the fall.
I'll change the enfield part, it was 3:30 when i wrote it so that was my mistake.
