We are fighting the extinction of our Screw culture and Houston Hip-Hop being carried out by the immoral and unethical practices of the only Hip-Hop station in our city. Isn't that something worth fighting for?
We will not tolerate these unethical practices, coercion, and subjugation of our culture any longer. We demand an immediate end of the "ban" on the rap artists mentioned and an apology from the responsible people.
1. They threatened and tried to sell out Pimp C, shortly before his death (R.I.P.)
2. They banned Trae tha Truth
3. During this ban, they fired the Kracker Nuttz, fired DJ Brandi Garcia, suspended DJ GT, suspended DJ Baby Jae, suspended DJ Michael "5000" Watts
4. On November 16 2010, the station rejected any Hispanic Rappers from performing at the Los Magnificos Car Show. When asked to comment on the situation, Terri Thomas emailed "Hello! We have no comment. Have a great day!"
5. No rapper is able to speak against the corporate radio station in fears of not getting their records played
6. They banned K-Rino
7. In April 2010, local Houston radio station KBXX 97.9 the Box announced an "I Am King T.I. Party", three years after the death of Pimp C, probably the most
disrespectful they could've done
8. On Big Hawk's birthday (R.I.P.), the radio station didn't mention a single word commemorating his life and music. On Lil Wayne's birthday, they dedicated an entire day playing Wayne and Young Money all day long. How could they dare disrespect Hawk's life like that. He came to their show and did an interview for them before his death!
9. They rarely support local artists and Houston rappers (that are majority independent)
