The Hot 97 "Tsunami Song" Scandal Keeps Growing
Most of y'all can probably guess that I'm an unashamed Hot 97 NYC radio listener based on the music I mostly talk about on this site.
In reality though, I probably listen to no more than about an hour of the morning show daily, Enuff's hour-long drive time mixshow when I can remember to tune in and the post-midnight mixshows, if I can stay up. Nevertheless, somehow I missed the latest scandal surrounding the station which has been covered extensively by Jay as well as Hashim, O-Dub and a host of others. Besides the fact that the song in question is highly offensive, it's not even funny (at least make me laugh guiltily if you're gonna go the trouble of crossing the line of decency that far).
That being said, I can't co-sign the ig'nance so I might as well make a real effort to start checking out Power 105 in the morning although with the recent arrival of Star & Buc Wild (and the baggage they bring), things might not be that much better down the dial. It's a race to the bottom, my peoples.
On a more positive note, support the current project my homegirl RAin's promoting, Welcome to Arroyo's - a hip hop play by Kristoffer Diaz:
While my homegirls Kimberly and Nadine have another great event for you to check out:
But to end, not a good couple weeks for Chingy - first a ridiculous beef that nobody cares about, then this and now a new single, “Don't Worry” feat. Janet Jackson. "Balla Baby" was one thing, but this joint is hot garbage. (mp3 links: win | Real)
