Vile rap singer Shawty Lo passed BusRadio’s rigid screening process. Many young people are getting their first taste of this artist as they listen to BusRadio got to and from school.
From Jim Metrock:
A new song is on BusRadio’s playlist and it’s another shocker.
The song is "Dey Know" by Shawty Lo, an Atlanta rapper known for his drugged-out, explicit, gangsta rap lyrics.
This is the CD that "Dey Know" comes from. This is the CD children will buy if they like the BusRadio-played song.
Add Shawty Lo to the long list of explicit-content artists that BusRadio has featured.
It is difficult for people who don’t listen to a lot of hip hop music to understand the meaning of the lyrics. Words and phrases can have several meanings. The people at BusRadio know what these songs are about and they play them anyhow. They hope parents and school administrators don’t find out about it. That is why BusRadio refuses to list the songs they play on their website. That would make it too easy for parents.
The lyrics for "Dey Know" are below. When you hear the audio clip from BusRadio, you’ll notice that BusRadio blanks out the word "Nigga" and "hoes." BusRadio thinks by doing that the song and the artist magically become "age-appropriate" – hogwash. BusRadio is dumping raw sewage on kids and BusRadio is making Big Time Money doing it.
Interestingly, BusRadio did not bleep out "Dope boys" and they didn’t bleep out "kush" which according to the Urban Dictionary means marijuana. (Shawty Lo’s reputation is based on drug usage. His one-year sentence to prison for drug possession gives him "street cred" with his young gangsta rap fans.)

Listen to the song for yourself: "Dey Know" on BusRadio (You’ll hear one song ending before BusRadio plays "Dey Know." This is the ending of Fergie’s "Clumsy" off her explicit content-stickered CD "The Dutchess." Children hear one explicit artist after another on BusRadio. Notice we didn’t say they heard one explicit song after another. BusRadio knows they can’t get away with that, but so far they have gotten away with injecting some of America’s most vile artists into children’s lives.)

When this rap singer mentions money he is talking about drug money. When he talks about blowing $100,000 in a "club" he means a strip club. Kids who hear Shawty Lo played repeatedly on BusRadio may download other songs of his such as this drug song…

BusRadio knows the sleazy background of Shawty Lo. The Mat of The Mat and Lucia is Matthew Blades a drive-time DJ in Milwaukee. He knows the filthy background of Shawty Lo.
Shawty Lo made a big splash in his hometown of Atlanta when the group he was with D4L ("Down for Life") recorded a song called "Laffy Taffy." Like much of this music it is a dirty joke set to "music."
From Wikipedia article on the song "Laffy Taffy" Shawty Lo’s big hit with his group D4L |
There has been some debate regarding the meaning of the phrase "Laffy Taffy". Many understand the term to mean a woman’s labia minora because of its resemblance to "stretched out taffy". It is a phrase commonly used by men who attend strip clubs. Women with larger labia minora lips are said to have "laffy taffy". The song’s music video is set in a strip club. |

1. laffy taffy (n)This is a slang term for the female genitalia– more specifically, the labia minora– so termed for it’s resemblance to stretched (pink) laffy taffy. Therefore, the term may also carry with it connotation of excessive sexual intercourse which can result in a stretched or elongated labia minora. That ho had so much sex, when she spreads her legs, Willy Wonka himself would envy her Laffy Taffy. |
That’s how this artist/thug got started and now, with the help of BusRadio, Shawty Lo is going to add thousands to his fan base.
BusRadio is playing Shawty Lo on their website for children of ALL ages.
