- REGGAE HIT: KILLING GAYS IS GOOD
-
- Reggae star Buju Banton's dance hit "Boom Bye Bye" encourages
- listeners to shoot gay men. Here's a sample:
-
- Faggots have to run
- Or get a bullet in the head
- Bang-bang (shots) in a faggot's head.
- Homeboys don't condone nasty men.
- They must die. (repeat)
-
- Two men necking
- Lying in a bed.
- Hugging each other
- And caressing one another's legs.
- Get an automatic or an Uzi instead.
- Shoot them now, let us shoot them.
- (gunshot)
-
- (Let GLAAD know if you hear "Boom Bye Bye" on a station in your
- area.)
-
- While this egrarious song was distributed only on a small
- independent label, industry leader Mercury Records subsequently
- signed Buju Banton to a major contract.
-
- On the upside, Mercury agreed to help produce and promote public
- service announcements condemning anti-gay violence. Support
- Mercury's committment to this effort. Write:
