03/12/07 - U.K. Retail Chain Topshop Comes Underfire...

U.K. based fashion retailer Topshop has pulled The Gangsta Rap Coloring Book from the shelves of its flagship Oxford Street store in the UK, after the book generated numerous complaints.

The 48-page coloring book, which was authored by Aye Jay Moreno and released in 2004, features images of rappers like 50 Cent, Eazy-E, Ice-T, Master P, in thick black lines.

According to representatives for Topshop, The Gangsta Rap Coloring Book, which was being sold at a concession stand at the Oxford Street store, was not approved for sale by Topshop.

"There have been a lot of complaints," a spokesperson for Topshop told AllHipHop.com. "It came off sale this morning. The images were pretty offensive for a fashion store to be selling. We pulled it from the shelves as soon as we were made aware of the content."

Mothers Against Guns, a UK based watch dog organization that monitors gun portrayal and raises awareness about the risks of gun violence, labeled the book "sick."

Topshop is owned by Arcadia group, the U.K.'s largest retailer. Arcadia operates over 2,000 stores in the UK, mostly in urban areas.

The company also owns hundreds of other franchised stores in 30 countries, including chains like Dorothy Perkins, Outfit, Topman, Wallis, Burton and others.

The controversy comes on the heels of the second summit on gun crime held by community leaders and police last week (Mar. 6) and the announcement of a new gun minding laws, announced by Home Secretary John Reid.

The new law targets gang members who seek to avoid prosecution by getting others to hold their guns or weapons after a crime, in response to a spate of gun violence throughout the UK

Under the new law, police will also be able to access details of all legally purchased firearms.

A National Firearms Database was also recently rolled out across England and Wales, that keeps track of all lawfully held weapons and their owners in England and Wales.

Also, all details of weapons and ammunition recovered from a crime scene will be recorded in the new National Ballistics Intelligence Database, which will be accessible to all 43 police forces in England and Wales.
