Dallas students suspended over lyrics

Right at a time where the hip-hop culture has already been cast in a bad light (after the Don Imus fiasco), a new incident in Dallas has caused even further uproar about the lyrics of rappers. A group of male students at Hillcrest High School in Dallas are facing suspension, after they recorded a song that degraded various girls in the school. The song labeled every girl who goes to ‘Crest’ as a ‘slut’ and called various female students out by name.

“I done f***, I done f***, every girl who goes to ‘Crest is a slut,” reads one line from the song.
Another even called girls by name. “Laura, Keisha, Dee Dee, Janeesha.”

The song is called “Hillcrest” and the group calls themselves the Hillcrest All-Stars. The students passed out copies of the song on CD for the other students, and put the song up on their MySpace pages.

“I’m not a ho. I’m not a slut. I’ve never done anything like that,” Hillcrest High School student Lakeisha Till told CBS 11 News. “You don’t have proof I’ve done anything like that, to put it on a song, and then say my name.”

The spokesman for the Dallas Independent School District, Jon Dahlander, responded by saying that the students may have violated the student conduct code by circulating the recorded song around the high school and also by posting it on their MySpace pages (their conduct code deals with MySpace?).

“If you’re going to say something derogatory to anybody, regardless if it’s a students or teacher or anyone, we need to step in and take the appropriate action at that point.”

Lil Flip responds to VT shooting with freestyle

By now, I am sure that all of you know of the horrific and violent events that happened on April 16, 2007 at Virginia Tech university in Blacksburg, VA. Houston rapper Lil Flip has released his freestyle response to the victims and all of those who are suffering.

As foul-mouthed and explicit as rappers may be in their lyrics sometimes, they still are aware of what is going on. Congratulations to Flip for taking the time out to reflect on the situation America has been plagued with for the past week. Its on YouTube, its not a video, but who cares? … It is worth listening to anyway.

The rise of Fort Worth’s Keite Young

 

 

 

Keite Young - The Rise and FallOn June 12, a low-key and under-the-radar Fort Worth artist will release his new album. Although Keite Young (pronounced “Keete”) is probably not a familiar artist to you now, he plans to work his voice into the ears of urban/funk/soul fans all around the country soon. The Fort Worth singer will release his debut album entitled The Rise And Fall Of Keite Young on Hidden Beach/Universal Records. 2007 has plans to be a very big year for an artist who was unknown not too long ago.

This 29-year-old, coming from a family with a strong background in music, will bring his own blend of gospel, rock and funk to a larger audience with several live performances already planned (View his MySpace profile for dates & information).

Below, enjoy Keite’s exciting live performance from his song “Pressure” from his new album at Boardner’s in Hollywood. It portrays his musical abilities far better than I can explain in writing.
