CNN Apologizes After Airing Song With 'Nigga'

[jamesabruzzi]

Bullshit. It's been edited to remove "Nigga Nigga Nigga"

[boypula]

@jamesabruzzi no dude, fantastic voyage is the original song.

[ShittnLikeAseaGul]

HAHAHAHAGA HAHAHA LMAO HAHAAGGAHAGA OMG HAHHAHA!!!!!!!

[RonPaulRepublic]

funny how the song goes perfect with video

[DirtandGlitter1000]

Ahahahahaha she's about to laugh when she apologizes.

[Konphetty]

Every video it's a different! Wtf what was the song they actually played?

[Vincentthegreatest]

Who cares. I listen to songs with the word nigger in it all the time

[crazijoe123]

That's what you get for trying too hard CNN.

[asskickingness11]

yup, this the original song aired, whiteboy picked da wrong one

[VickTheQuick]

ahahahah jesus this is too good!

[MattCostello100]

That one old nigga Lmao

[oldschoolgamerz]

And what a terrible mistake that was, think of all the children that went nuts when they hear the n-words, they are spoilt rotten for their rest of their lives, probably gonna become racists too. Probably some white guy will get shot by some angry black guy now. They really should more careful with stuff like that.

[adm1ackbar]

song in the video ------> Coolio - Fantastic Voyage ( watch?v=oY0aUJfwWTc )

[adm1ackbar]

?????HAS NO ONE READ ORWELL'S BOOK 1984?????

they did this on purpose... political correctness is orwellian manipulation and dictatorship of language and words.... political correctness is no one's friend...

[BR0M]

The day I will be upset about whites saying nigga is the day all the blacks stop saying it.

[queenietoo]

Kyra Phillips I thought you were a professional, but then I forgot you do work for CNN!

Classless Numpty Network, that's so unprofessional and clueless.

[JACOBSlPOD1]

You damned racists, saying "N" word is racist, son of a bitches. It's a crime.

[sysarchitect]

And we're working very hard to make up for it?!!!

She should've just apologized and changed the music on reruns of the segment...

But "make up for it"... lol

How do you "make up for" that?

Play Ebony and Ivory afterwards?

[haloCE6]

Like a fucking boss.

[Gales99]

They called her Boss NIgga.

[Incrediblejeff]

Somebody got fired.

[getjiggywithit007]

I'm more disturbed by a 105 year old woman on the road than a song having the n word in it.

[gower2352]

Finally the real song CNN actually played ROFLMAO

[GimmeMyHat]

She farts at 0:35.

[curvecrush15]

This video is really funny, but my grandma was the one to show me this video... She was laughing harder then I was.. O.o

[Finaldream21]

I think they meant to put the original Fantastic Voyage by Lakeside not Coolio's version and this was the end result.

[f00tballfever]

TROLLED HARD

[kbick3]

it's punk ass nigger coolio

[LTAETUBE]

"we're working very hard to make up for it"

what exactly, i want to know, were they doing to make up for it

[Polecat1984]

Dats what u get for stereotyping black people

[DigDestruction]

if the shoe fits...

[FatalBlow100]

why did they have that music at the first place?

[havlorech]

The shot of an 103 year old lady struggling to get into her Cadillac immediately brought to mind 90s hip hop. Good work CNN!

[TheAndrewLupo]

"and we are working very hard to make up for it" ...wtf

[BobbyBeavis]

get her off the road b4 she kills someone

[FutureLaugh]

aww damn i thought CNN was cool for a second

[123456789jamiec]

they played it cause shes black..

[sakalielie]

looool gangster 104 year old

[ChadLikesGuitars]

Yeah, even though 98% of the people who watch us listen to the radio on an average of 1.5 hours a day and hear the word nigga in 8 out 10 of the songs played, we're sorry. We're sorry that people get so butthurt.

[rcruz003]

Gay ass CNN .

[bettawitsinging]

'lady gaga tested for lupus' lawl :D

[skaterdude10107]

I thought this song was perfect. Lmao. Grandma is big pimpin'. XD

[zock137]

NIGGA NIGGA NIGGA NIGGA NIGGA NIGGA NIGGA!!

[KingCynicalese]

lmao! this is classic!!!

[Sk8terWithVans]

@ThePistons4life i think it is

[IvTheHatevI]

The song they play is Fantastic Voyage by Coolio.

[bearsrule865]

I feel bad for the reporters... It must have been awkward as fuck bein like I'm sry the song said nigga

[moho69]

Porchmonkeys Por Vida!!!

[BuddyMETAL1]

I thought it was cool. That ladys an OG!

[kbick3]

fucking niggers lol

[SgtPlmFry]

1. "Shout-out"? Really? :/

2. I wonder why CNN would have this song in the first place.

3. CNN probably keeps all music for news stories featuring black people in a cardboard box labeled, "For Black People Stories," that an AV intern is responsible for syncing, lol.

4. "... and we're working very hard to make up for it." = some intern got fired

[Tr33M4st3r]

Yeah this is the real version...that's why there's a fart noise at 0:36 right?

[kobeballer]

finally the real version

[rp1dmc]

Blacks need to stop saying "cracka". It's our word and only we can say it.

[JerusalemCherry]

Funny.. But.not.nice

[LBpDC]

Probably some jackass in the video editing room. They probably got their ass fired. Maybe racist, maybe just a dickhead. Who knows.

[BigUpsKonviction]

Nigga please.

[vnut08]

Nigga stole my freedom of speech

[TokkerProductions]

Oh man that was hilarious

[lawlz2105]

they probably did it on purpose 

[killap702]

Smdh... I bet if you asked that old lady what she thought she would say "Do I look like I give a fuck?? Nigga plz...." wisdom comes with age....

[cf9189]

omg to all the racist people posting what is ur point do u really have that much hate that you have to spend ur time being jerks GAL!!!

[DrSourPurp]

I used to find this video hilarious.. then I took an arrow in the knee.

[ffgew22]

You know when blacks will get over the word "nigga"? ... When the jews get over the Holocaust...

[Pistonbroke21]

Who gives a shit? Nigga is just a fucking word, all yous need to stop being so fucking sensitive. Incase you didn't know, CNN didn't actually make the song, it was made by a black dude (sorry if black dude offends any of you overly sensitive cunts).. they just happened to cue the wrong part. Idiots.

[MsThop123]

@Pistonbroke21 Obviously CNN didnt make this song you idiot. Its funny because they even have the song and that they cued it on an old lady.

[alaingallet1]

@Pistonbroke21 ....are u retarded or what? obviously people understand the whole nigga is just a word thing, but u dont put a video of a black old chick with a video saying nigga and talkin bout crack. if u didnt realise most people arent cool with that shit and looking at a company like CNN it makes them look like assholes. idiot.

[TehSnipedown]

@Pistonbroke21 you're fuckin retarded but you think you're smart. The word 'nigga' is fuckin derogatory and racist and brings up a whole lot of shit for black people. Im not black, i just know my shit unlike you, smug whiteboy

[dhara82]

@Pistonbroke21 I'm guessing you're not black right?? Yup, typical non-black (usually white) folk trying to tell black people what's racist and what's not when YOU are the perpetrators... SMH

[Aesir2245Amish]

@dhara82 see you're the one bringing race up bro

saying white people are the perpetrators of racism when it goes in both directions, bigotry has no innate aim and certainly isn't relegated to one denomination

you're perpetuating racism and discrimination by doing it back towards white people... think before you type man

[bigcarth]

@Pistonbroke21 do they really play this song or is it a joke?

[1337Shinny]

@Pistonbroke21 why did you have to use the word "idiot" :( meanie

[didickcheeseburger]

@Pistonbroke21 cue the wrong part? have you ever heard that song? you cant go 5 seconds without the word nigga lol. i think they cued the wrong song altogether.

[MykeMetyll]

How is Coolio offensive? Fuck this PC world.

[sn9696]

Hhahahah ! Who cares !!! This is what they listen to so whats the problem?

[cashwat210]

@alinkyng problem?

[strongestofemall]

Seriously, fuck this country. How is that a 'perfect' shout out? They don't know shit about that lady besides the fact that she's 103. Insensitive fucking peckerwood crackers, nothing new. I hope whoever came up with this idea gets raped by mandingo and burned alive.

[LBpDC]

@strongestofemall You fucking nigger it was an accident. Also note my usage of NIGGER which I hope your bitch ass finds as offensive as I find CRACKER.

[strongestofemall]

@LBpDC Awwwww! Poor baby finds cracker offensive? Well how about peckerwood? Bird shit? Honky? Snowbunny? White devil? Do you find those offensive too? Be sure to get back to me!

[LBpDC]

@strongestofemall Most of those are > ot = nigger or porchmonkey. But it is what it is. I love people being racist in response to racism: way to show us whites by example!

[strongestofemall]

@LBpDC I like how the word is tossed around like it's something new. Everyone, EVERYONE is a racist. Whether they want to admit to it or not. Some more than others, etc. Racism isn't only alive, it's fucking thriving.

[Graynumber]

@LBpDC You find "cracker" offensive? Give me a break. You're probably laughing your privileged ignorant buttocks off.

[LBpDC]

@Graynumber Jesus wtf Nigger = Cracker. If you're a piece of shit that deserves it then wtf but if your just some mofo posting on a goddamned video you don't have that shit coming to you. Cracker is not a synonym for white person it is a racist and hateful term. Also my '02 vehicle, and 1br apartment would disagree with that privileged comment.

[Graynumber]

@LBpDC Five words in and I know you're full of it. Stay mad white dude.

[LBpDC]

@Graynumber I can digg white dude. It's not racist... It's an observation. The more you know. ////

[CHNJ101]

@LBpDC Have some class you dirty descendant of worthless trash. Cracker.

[LBpDC]

@CHNJ101 I'mma let you finish, but first lemme just say that that last poster had the best counter argument of all time: OF ALL TIME. GTFO

[boundlessmojo1]

to pro angry camera man

[OpenEyesProdTv]

Cnn is evil

[recon24d]

maybe granny really is that gangsta you never know

[thebomb2116]

which one is the original

[NeoTStyle]

AIN'T NO BLOODIN'

AIN'T NO CRIPPIN'

AIN'T NO PUNK ASS NIGGA SET TRIPPIN'

[stuartp2006]

Bahaha!

Human interest stories suck.

[StoogeWatcher]

If Fox did this, the Democrats would be demanding firings, especially the black racists like the Reverends of Nothing Jesse Jackass and Al Dimwit.

[Ecosse57]

wow. the knee jerk response when the leftists at cnn see a black person in a caddy is to play gangster rap?

freudian slip anyone?

[SomethingRules]

@Ecosse57 cnn are leftists? lol

[PotawatomiThunderNew]

@Ecosse57 Fantastic Voyage is Gangsta Rap? This is news to me.

[Anight7mareX]

Wrong music? That was the correct music.

[jokemasterslifer]

Yeah, her being black and that music playing doesn't seem like a coincidence. Makes me think the sound engineer decided to do that on purpose. Maybe he wanted to get fired and decided to go out with a bang? :P

[youngshiloh9]

bitch you lying!!!!!

[ThePistons4life]

is that the granny from "Dont be a menace to south central while drinking your juice in the hood"?

[evoryda]

She looks really good for her age. anyways, to the drama. everybody is so quick to say "oooooo I'm tellin" in this country its not even funny. GROW THE FUCK UP! I wouldve said, "sorry for the mixup" and thats it, bowing down and kissing feet over a mistake is bullshit. ACT! ACT like youve never said, sung along or thought the word "nigga" in a non-threatening way and now be offended over a stupid ass mistake so I can slap the piss out of you, PLEASE!?!

[fresh592003]

I think it was a honest mistake cued in the wrong spot. Good song but they should have used the original version of Fantastic Voyage by Lakeside.

[TheNaziParty707]

how does cnn make up for playing a song with nigga in it

[zEropoint68]

Oh. Is that all? I watched a few poop redubs with different songs, but if it's just this song... whatever. Nobody cares.

And I'll bet money that anyone pretending to be offended just to feel their own drama will respond to this by calling me some swearword associated with women, because it's not okay for a black person to say 'nigga', but it's perfectly okay for a man to call a woman he doesn't know a cunt for not caring what black men call themselves.

You people don't make fuck-all sense.

[pyromanizak]

Mistake? lol seems perfectly fitting

[Ibringthetruth1]

Some black guy at Cnn likes Coolio

[dcook112475]

If anyone was offended by CNN airing the song--then that should be taken up with the people who wrote, produced, and marketed the song. CNN is no more offense playing it than the guy with it cranked up while he's pumping gas. Irrational thinking drives irrational arguments. People can call each other whatever they want--but before they start claiming offense to the same words--they should look to the root of the problem--not a scapegoat.

[1017muzikk]

Y'all hear day fart after da song, right after it

[cmbsoldja]

Ok, I get it now. The Too Short ride song. Another video had a Waka Flocka song, and that shit ain't make no sense, lol.

[alinkyng]

CNN offends minority: makes amends

FOX offends minority: laughs about it

[DetroitIsCrust]

@alinkyng I offend minority: I don't give a fuck.

[SpellboundSolution]

@alinkyng CNN doesn't have a sense have a sense of humour, Fox does. Seriously when did "offend" become a sacred word in the English language?

[alinkyng]

@SpellboundSolution Because it's downright arrogant and petty for the people at fox news to behave like the only people who deserve any rights are white, heterosexual christians who are US citizens, to them, everyone else is beneath them.

[SpellboundSolution]

@alinkyng Well I'm sure them woman was heterosexual a Christian and a US citizen. Anyway what incident are you referring to exactly?

[MykeMetyll]

@alinkyng

I'd laugh too.

[rp1dmc]

@alinkyng so?

[alguerrero]

THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU EAT A LOT OF WATERMELON!!

[2eelShmeal]

You can't play ANY rap w/o hearing that word. Funny how a word that is supposedly hated gets glorified perpetuated by the very people who find it offensive.

I think the reason is it's an in-your-face to the white man: "That's OUR word now.. WE can say it but YOU can't." That's all it is.

So it's not the word that's offensive, it's who's saying it.

[beatallhalos]

@2eelShmeal Cleanin' Out My Closet, The Real Slim Shady, My Name Is, Till I Colapse, I Need a Doctor, and shall I go further?

[2eelShmeal]

@beatallhalos I have no idea what you're talkin about

[beatallhalos]

@2eelShmeal Neither say the N-word.

[2eelShmeal]

@beatallhalos I see. First off, M&M is white so any of his stuff doesn't count for this argument as I'm talking about black people perpetuating the word they claim to hate. Like I said, It's just an in-your-face to the white man. Effectively they have taken our "right" (if you wanna call it that) to utter the word, while at the same time they use EXTENSIVELY as if to say "That's OUR word now whitey and only WE can say it." Black people see it as victory, they've successfully taken the word away.

[2eelShmeal]

@beatallhalos #2. So basically my WHOLE point is that black people aren't offended by the N word. They are only offended when white people say it. There are exceptions; black people who don't tolerate the word AT ALL. I have a LOT of RESPECT for them but they are RARE.

For the most part, when black people tell me they don't like the word, I tell them they're full of shit too because it's in every song and they call each other it every day. They just don't like when white people say it.

[rockcandy1234567890]

the real question is... why does CNN have that track??

[miggysmallzz]

that song is off my mixtape, dawg

[MrSouthphillyitalian]

lol

[NeonBScar]

Still waiting for the day, that the majority of the world finally understands that the word "nigga" isn't racist. It's "Nigger".Thats the word of hatred.-.-

[MrMiniMeatball]

@NeonBScar

Nigger isnt even raciest in my opinion. Its sland for negro. Negro=Black

[DetroitIsCrust]

@NeonBScar Still waiting for retards like you to realize that nigga and nigger are the same word.

[NeonBScar]

@DetroitIsCrust Nigga and Nigger are not the same word. I can't even believe someone put those words in the same catagory. You are very ignorent.

[DetroitIsCrust]

@NeonBScar They're the same to me. It's like saying the word "car" is different than the word "automobile". Yea ok their spelled different but they are the same word.

[NeonBScar]

@DetroitIsCrust Automobile does not mean Car. It can be used in referring to a car, or used to somewhat describe what a car is. However,"automobile" does not specifically mean "car". By your logic, answer this. If an "automobile" is a "Car", then tell me, what other word you would use that is a different word, however it means "Truck".

[DetroitIsCrust]

@NeonBScar A truck can mean a million different things too. I see some people call an SUV a truck...some people wouldn't consider an SUV a "truck". Trucks are also things on the bottom of a skateboard, or things you can pull by hand to move heavier items...

Just because niggers make up stupid words doesn't mean I have to acknowledge the nigger's definition. My definition of "nigga" is nigger. My defintion of nigger is black person. Therefore a "nigga" is black person and a nigger is too.

[Indirectcell]

HAHAHAHAHA who cares, its not white that sing, its the regular ol more offensive word for black, aka afrikan americans :P whos singing

[DoggyB22]

Is this the original one or the other one where it repeats nigga nigga nigga

[WhitSkii10]

this is the right one...they meant to play the original version of Fantastic Voyage but they played Coolio's remake

[KhirstieAlisha]

They finally gave the people what we wanted :D

[hothotheat3000]

They MEANT to do this. Seriously, how the hell does CNN make a mistake like that?

[fighteightyfive]

@hothotheat3000 The song they played was a remake of the song they wanted. It was a file naming error. It just so happened to be Collio's version which is foul mouthed. Mistakes happen. No big deal.

[killergumproductions]

im pretty sure the old lady said "lord knows this nigga drive better than me"

[SimuLord]

That apology in the last ten seconds just absolutely oozed "corporate robot" insincerity. If you're going to apologize, do so in a way other than "even an autistic person (me) can see how insincere you are."

[ididcramsmom]

FINALLY- THE TRUE VERSION!!! All others are f-n stupid!!

[WeeklyNewMusic]

Still selling crack out dat ole caddy at age 103

[TheSpiritualMolecule]

Did they just say Nigga. haha.

[XxitzUchihaxX]

Hahaha winning.

[AntaresInScorpius]

LMFAO, cnn shows its true colors!!

[csmybuttt]

@ConneryMinecraft What do you mean, "how"? Someone swapped out the track; it's not that hard.

Evidence? I don't know, the related video section?

[csmybuttt]

@ConneryMinecraft The track played has been edited, dumbass. The original track has far more usage of the word 'nigga'.

Why don't you go do a bit of research instead of ignorantly insulting those who have? Kids these days...

[MetrazolElectricity]

she wants to laugh!!

[csmybuttt]

FAKE. Why do you assholes make this shit?

[ilovethykitty]

Ms Flammer this shout out is for you. lol at 0:25

[buffaloballs98]

103 old granny lady lookin ass nigga

[GRIEF1712]

punk ass nigga aint trippin' and somthing about crack...yep

[dirtystephennwilson]

who cares - political correctness only reinforces and perpetuates stereotypical words and ideals.

Grow up America - they are just words.

[tokersrule]

@dirtystephennwilson politics are just smoke in mirrors

[Canniko10]

0:36 does somebody farts

[Jetaimebien2]

Lmao.

[SkyNinja1]

How do you make THIS mistake?
