Listen to that all the way though. It's got the song in quesiton near the end.

That's a "response" song.


and then this - http://www.hot97.com/ - is the front page results:

New York City - Miss Jones and the HOT 97 Morning team have been indefinitely suspended for the airing of a song that made light of a catastrophic event, as well as comments made at the time the song was aired.

Earlier this week, Miss Jones said on the air "I apologize to all who have been offended by my poor decision to go along with playing that insulting (to say the least) Tsunami song. I should have known better and I didn't. So I'm sorry and hopefully we can move forward from this, or I can move forward from this being a better hostess, because I am better than that, and I know better than that -- and you deserve better radio than that."

While Miss Jones has apologized on the air, in the media and on the HOT 97 website, station management felt that stronger action was necessary to demonstrate the severity of the situation.

Emmis Radio and HOT 97 will not tolerate such derogatory and racially insensitive content. This incident in no way reflects the spirit of HOT 97. The station has a long-time and well-known reputation for community involvement and support.

Emmis Radio President Rick Cummings said, "What happened is morally and socially indefensible. All involved, myself included, are ashamed and deeply sorry. I know the members of the morning show are truly contrite. They know their actions here are inexcusable."
We would like to clarify that no company advertising on our station had any connection to the Tsunami Song and no company advertising on our station endorsed or sponsored the offensive material aired on the "Miss Jones in the Morning" show. We apologize for any misunderstanding that may have caused listeners to believe that anyone, other than the morning show staff, was responsible for the material that should not have been aired.

That's just fucked up.

Thats bad, how can you make fun of that? Seriously some people....

[At-Least-It's-An-Evo]

Bitch. I respect Jin that much more just for standing up to that bitch and that lame ass "hip hop" station. And obviously you'll know it's not just cause I'm asian, it's cause that was the stupidest fucking song ever thought of.


It's great that those advertising with the stations morning shows pulled their ads. The only ones left are Popeyes and Reebok. Coca Cola and other companies were informed about this Tsunami song and pulled their advertising. The people won't forget this dumbass fuckup.

I guess the station's had a history of fuckups such as another song about making fun of Aaliyah's death from her plane crash. Complete fuckwads.

thats just not kosher

That is the most fucked up song. All of the DJs that had their voices on that song should get their asses beat every time they walk on the street.
Theres a point where you say "this is not worth it people, im not going through with this." What kind of twisted fuck would write that shit.
Im sure the Station is getting all kinds of hate mail and i would love to send them some too. and they can say all they want about the station always respecting the community and racially insensitive material but what about the section on their site called Ask the White Girl???? Those are some sperm cells that should have ended up in the back of a whores throat.

Yeah, that is just wrong. People need to learn to respect other people. That really seems to be something that is getting lost. Over 150,000 people died, have some compassion!

Im still listening to the pre-song bitching and already I think some people need to get slapped. At the very least.
