This DJ made disparaging remarks about Asians and then threatened to molest a rival DJ's '4 YEAR OLD' daughter! The Worst DJ Threat Maybe Ever
Just when you thought you heard the worst thing on the radio, there's something new: Power 105.1 FM fired DJ Star after he threatened to pee on and molest the four year old daughter of rival Hot 97 DJ Envy. Oh, and he called DJ Envy's half-Asian wife, Gia Casey, a "lo-mein eater" and "gook." But the thing that took the cake was when DJ Star, really named Troi Torain, offered listeners $500 to tell him where the four year old daughter of Rasshaun Casey goes to school, and taunted DJ Envy on the air with "If you didn't hear me, I said I would like to do an R. Kelly on your seed. On your little baby girl." for the past week. Now, the R. Kelly comment would have been icky without mention of a four year old, but really, has radio shock-jocking gone this far? Gia Casey spoke at a City Hall press conference (City Councilmen John Liu and Peter Vallone were on hand) and said, "When a man says that he would like to tinkle in the mouth of your little girl and ejaculate on her face - that will make any mother extremely frightened." Uh, yeah, definitely.
On his website, DJ Star calls himself a Hater. A couple years ago, Torain was suspended from Hot 97 for making fun of Aaliyah's fatal plane crash, and DJ Envy was one of the Hot 97 crew involved in the tsunami song. All trouble leads back to Hot 97!

Here's another story related to Hot 97. This hip-hop world is really in the gutter these days. Landlord moves to evict controversial hip-hop stationThe biggest names in hip-hop made their way to the studios of "Hot 97": Suge Knight, Lil' Kim, 50 Cent, Jay-Z. With them, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday, came a plethora of hangers-on and violence.
Now, the building owner says in a lawsuit, it's time for the radio station to find a new home.
Sparked by last week's shooting of a rapper just before an interview at WQHT-FM, the landlord filed legal papers demanding the radio station's eviction despite six years left on its lease. The landlord said it feared for the lives of other tenants or passers-by, and accused the station of promoting the violence.
The lawsuit cited three shootings, two bomb threats and more than a dozen other incidents involving celebrity guests coming to the station's offices since March 2000.
Emmis Radio, parent company of WQHT, issued a statement declaring that the New York City District Council of Carpenters _ owner of the Hudson Street building _ had no legal basis for eviction.
"If the carpenters union wants to spend money dragging this issue through the courts, then we have no choice but to fight them on it and we will win," the statement said. "The union has tried to bully us into submission and accomplish through harassment what they can't accomplish through the legal system."
The lawsuit gives the radio station 20 days to respond to the allegations in court. Any eviction proceeding would likely take months.
The most recent shooting came on April 26, when 11 gunshots were fired outside the building, the lawsuit said. Rapper Jamal "Gravy" Woolard, 30, was slightly wounded before an interview at the station. Many of the other incidents mentioned in the 28-page lawsuit involved some of the hip-hop world's top stars: DMZ, 50 Cent, Busta Rhymes.
The lawsuit cited "numerous extremely serious incidents, including multiple shootings and altercations with building security" that "threatened the lives of tenants and the public."
It also mentioned an August 2005 complaint from another building tenant, Thomson Financial, which said that "many of its employees have felt threatened and intimidated as a result of past incidents involving guests and persons associated with the radio station."
Last year, entourages linked to feuding rappers 50 Cent and The Game swapped bullets in the station's lobby, with a 28-year-old man injured in the fracas.
And in 2001, another gunfight started between posses linked to rappers Lil' Kim and Capone-N-Noreaga, leaving one man wounded. Lil' Kim, whose real name is Kimberly Jones, is currently serving one year and a day for lying about the shootout to a federal grand jury.
WQHT-FM occupies the seventh floor of the 10-floor building.

Amazing how far music and the culture around has devolved since the 50s and 60s. From The Doors, Jefferson Airplane, The BEatles, Emerson/Lake/Palmer, DEVO, Steppenwolf, etc to 50Cent, ad nauseum.
And, how much do you hear of the good hip-hop like KRS-1 and Digital Underground?

That kind of rap doesn't sell anymore, not "hard enough", not "street enough". here's another example of the degradation of our society. I saw this on the news the other night. In the clip I watched it was like five black guys attacking one white guy. They were taping it and selling the DVD with what else but rap music playing in he background. one kid got his head smashed in to a curb unconscious and thy continued to pummel him anyway. I think he broke his spine and had to be airlifted to the hospital. I must say that growing up in Syracuse I know that racism is alive and well in the inner cities. My cousin and his friend were chased by a whole group with bricks just for being white. Older rap like Ice Cube used to encourage violence against white people. Check out the lyrics to Da Lynch Mob sometime. This gangster rap is like poison. www.dfw.com/mld/dfw/14562640.htm Gang is behind street-fight DVDs, police sayThe people arrested in connection with a video being sold around the Metroplex that features fighting teens are members of a loosely organized Arlington gang known as PAC, or "Playas After Cash," police said late Thursday.
The gang has about a dozen members and is also known for fights at parties, police said.
"This is a group that has organized themselves as a gang solely for the purpose of promoting fights and making money," said Christy Gilfour, an Arlington police spokeswoman.................................................................. Many of the people in these "organized fights" were unwilling participants.
