Last May the FCC fined KBOO FM $7000 for playing “Your Revolution,” a song speaking out against degradation of women in hip hop. Jones is claiming a violation of her First Amendment Rights. The song was deemed offensive by the FCC because of it’s sexual references. Many cries of a double standard by the FCC have been made. “Your Revolution” does not contain any of the 7 words deemed offensive by the FCC and the sexual references are all paraphrases from popular songs, most of which got radio play.
Check out some lyrics from the song and decide for yourself, just keep in mind the lyrics of some of the songs you hear on a regular basis on the radio.
“Your revolution will not happen between these thighs/ the real revolution ain’t about booty size/ and though we’ve lost Biggie Smalls your Notorious revolution will never allow you to lace no lyrical douche in my bush/ your revolution will not be you smackin’ it up, flippin’ it, or rubbin’ it down nor will it take you downtown or humpin’ around/ you will not be touching your lips to my triple dip of french vanilla butter pecan chocolate deluxe/or having Akinyele’s dream a six-foot blowjob machine
your revolution will not happen between these thighs/ because the revolution, when it finally comes, is gon’ be real”
