Philadelphia Inquirer Staff Writer 1986A very popular, locally produced "rap" song has been taken off the air at a major radio station because it was found to be hostile and demeaning toward Chinese people. Even so, the song - "The Discombobulatorbubalator," by M.C. Breeze - remains among the most requested songs at the station and is selling well at record stores that cater to rap-music fans. "There's a buzz about this song from here to New York and down to Florida," said Tony Quartarone, program director of WUSL FM (Power 99), the station that played and then yanked the song earlier this month."The song hit No. 1 on our Top Nine at Nine show before I pulled it off," he said. "We haven't played the song for two Weeks, but we're still getting 50 requests a day." On the day it reached No. 1, there were more than 300 requests for the .song, he said.. "The Discombobulatorbubalator" is spoken in the rhyming rap style that has been popular for several years, especially among young people. It tells the story of an incident at a Chinese, takeout restaurant where the rapper has a quarrel with a Chinese -worker and ultimately pulls a gun on him. Nobody is hurt in the song, but the rapper's apparent bias toward Chinese people comes through in such ways as the use of the word Chink and in the way Chinese food is disparaged as being "chopped dog tongue." "When they kill the cats, what do they do with the furs?" goes one line. In addition, the Chinese man in the song always speaks in a high, squeaky voice that is frequently unintelligible. The rapper on the song - Joseph Ellis, 22, of West Philadelphia, otherwise known as "Breeze" - said yesterday that he "meant no harm" with the lyrics. "I was just giving my description of going into a Chinese place in my area, and people could relate to that," he said. "What happens in the store happens all the time - except for the gun part. That was just extravagant."And the 'Chink' stuff is kind of racist, and maybe I shouldn't have used it." Ellis said a New York distributor had recently agreed to re-cut a "cleaner" version of the song for radio stations in New York and elsewhere. "They think it could be real big up there, too," he said. "But they also want a clean version for radio, and the more explicit rap if people want to buy it for themselves."
Quartarone said that because the requests for the song continue to be strong, he was planning to explain soon on the air why the station had banned it. "Our station has a strong sense of trying to do what's right for the whole community," he said. Quartarone said he regretted that the song was played on his station because "when I heard the lyrics, I immediately said 'no way.' It was obviously insulting to Chinese people." Debbie Wei, an activist with AsianAmericans United, said that although she had not heard the song, she was not very surprised by its content.
"It seems like Asians are fair game whether it's a song like this or a movie like Rambo where Asians get blown to bits," she said. "There's been a lot of talk here about making relations better, but I see little positive momentum in this city regarding the Asian community. Such negative views of the song are not shared by Larry Eisenberg, manager of the Sounds of Market record store near City Hall, one of the biggest sellers of rap music in the city. He said that 700 copies of the record had been sold by his store since it came out about six weeks ago., "I'd say 90 percent of rap music is putting someone down - that's what the kids like," Eisenberg said. "I don't think this one is done in any really bad or mean way." Ellis, a 1982 graduate of Mastbaum High School, has never had a hit record before. He said yesterday that after eight years of rapping, he decided to cut his first record by -himself. The kind of distrust and hostility described in the M.C. Breeze song is an extreme version of some of the statements made by people during hearings conducted in the fall of 1984 into the relationships between Asians and their neighbors. The sometimes-tense relations between blacks and Asians in Philadelphia were aired at length during the four hearings, conducted by the city's Human Relations Commission.
Mary Cousar, an activist in the Logan area who has worked for some years to improve relations between blacks and Asians, said yesterday that while she was unaware of the song, her young children were aware of it. "My son said he heard the song and that it was clearly insulting to the Chinese," Cousar said. "It's a little scary that after all that has happened here, and with go much effort to educate people about the Asians and all, that this Song could Still be so popular."...
