Chuck D Says: Not So Much N-Word
Chuck D has declared his intention to “change the face and sound of urban radio” in the US, calling it a “malignant cancer” that has misrepresented the face of hip-hop and “disrespected” its own African-American audiences. Incensed by New York’s recent Summer Jam festival, which was organized by the local station Hot 97, Chuck D has called on urban radio stations to radically decrease their use of the N-word and to improve the diversity of their programming. Is anybody listening?
