Philadelphia, PA

Looks like that billboard ought to have said “I will not be racist!” Dan Gross reports 94.1 WYSP’s Kidd Chris has been fired due to a guest’s racist parody song; it was so racist it took the station ’til now to fire him for a broadcast in March. (Gross has a rough transcription of the lyrics.)

The song, a parody of Blondie’s “Call Me,” was titled “Schwoogies” — a Yiddish word meaning “shadows,” used as racist slang for black people about 800 years ago. The artist who did it is Lady Gash, who this blog describes as “THE Premier female song parody artist in all of radio and is one of the best in radio male or female, bar none.” She also apparently did the “Schwoogies” song with Suge Knight.

Also, look, here’s a response to another question on that blog about a song parody contest or something:

My entry is no SCHWOOGIEs since another racist song would not fit the rules of the contest and since there are no darkies on the staff. Who am i going to go after next… the Jews?

Pfft, yeah, no more racist songs, Lady Gash. Anyway, Kidd Chris was supposed to have his birthday party at freaking Whiskey Tango in the Far, Far Northeast, which is pretty much the funniest part of this whole story.
