Parents call foul: Basketball pre-game playlist broadcasts vulgar lyrics for kids in Anchorage

Caution: This story contains vulgar language.

Friday night’s game between West Valley High School and Service High School, played at Dimond High Schools gymnasium, started out with the usual warmups.

According to the Alaska School Activities Association and the National Federation of High School rules, dunking during pre-game warm-ups is a technical foul that results in the player being ejected. The head coach is also indirectly charged with the foul.

But when it comes to foul music, that is another matter.

During the warmups for the match, a playlist being broadcast in the gymnasium on Friday got the attention of at least a couple of parents, whose heads snapped to attention when they heard the word “dick.”

The playlist contained music with lyrics devoted to cop killing, sex trafficking, and more deviant behavior. The parent used an app on his phone to capture the playlist:

Caution: Foul language ahead

The song, “Jennifer’s Body” by Ken Carson features these lyrics:

Two things I ain’t ever seen
A nigga that beat a gun and a bitch I need
If I go broke, I’m takin’ your funds, yeah, bitch, I need it
Gave you the whole book on how to get rich and you ain’t even read it
Jennifer’s Body, my bitch is a hottie, my bitch is a boy eater
She don’t even want no food, this dick the only thing I feed her
This bitch a thot, ain’t no way, huh, I’ma keep her
I made a hunnid K in a hunnid ways, ’cause that’s what I keep it
Keep it a hunnid

The Camelot Remix featured these lyrics:

ain’t gon’ say too much when a nigga speakin’ on that hot shit (Yeah)
Fuck the police ’cause them bitches ain’t gon’ stop shit (They ain’t stoppin’ shit)
Oppositions mad, if they play they gettin’ popped quick (Huh? Huh? Yeah)
Flyest nigga in the game, yeah, I’m a cockpit (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Posted on Camelot with a hundred-some shottas (Shottas)
I be swimmin’ with the sharks, lil’ nigga, you a lobster (Lobster)
Bullets heat a nigga up, like he eatin’ on some pasta (Some pasta)
And shout out to Kingston, I keep me some Rastas (Yeah, yeah, rrah)

And it gets worse:

Man, she keep on bitchin’, all that naggin’ and shit (All that naggin’ and shit)
Ho, shut the fuck up and just gag on this dick (Yeah, yeah)
I’m a side nigga, and I love when she swallow
If a nigga say something, hit him with a hollow
That Glizzy (Yeah), knock your meat out your taco (Your taco)
Flexin’ on these bitches, they call me Johnny Bravo
School of hard knocks (Yeah), let me take you to class
My bitch is real skinny, but she got a lot of ass
I love counting money, I get a lot of cash
If you try to take it from me, his toe gon’ have a tag

A parent who is a former police officer approached the audio technician and told him the music was inappropriate for the event, but the technician said it was all clean music.

However, the bleeps in the music were not fully effective and there were many children, as well was teens in the packed house.

Contacted by Must Read Alaska, one parent said, “There are plenty of other uplifting songs that don’t involve drug trafficking, human trafficking, cop killing, or homicide.”

The West Valley Wolf Pack beat the Service Cougars 65-53 on Friday.

  1. ASD School Board is scratching that bald spot wondering why enrollment is dropping to the point of having to close schools.
    They need to pull their heads out from those silly earbuds they are wearing and start listening to parents concerns about the horrible environment public schools provide instead of cherishing silly rappers lyrics.

    Prime reason none of my extended families children will ever see the interior of a public school.(the parking lot of a middle-high school is far too dangerous let alone enter the building). It is expensive but so worth it.
