Kendrick deserved to be accurately documented.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=\"1115-Anthony-'Top-Dawg'-Tiffith\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2013/11/15/1115-anthony-top-dawg-tiffith-1.jpg\" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tiffith says, \"The racial overtones immediately reminded everyone of a time in hip-hop that was destroyed by violence, resulting in the loss of two of our biggest stars [Tupac and B.I.G.] ... As a result of this misrepresentation, I pulled Kendrick from his performance at GQ's annual Man Of The Year party.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tiffith adds, \"While we think it's a tremendous honor to be named as one of the Men Of The Year, these lazy comparisons and offensive suggestions are something we won't tolerate.\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
