		The "Tsunami Song," Hot 97's parody of the December tragedy in South Asia, also drew criticism at the rally, with Queens councilman John Liu accusing the station of "insensitivity" to its listeners.
		Hot 97 has been number one in the eighteen-to-thirty-four-year-old demographic for close to ten years, so obviously there are a whole lot of people that enjoy the station and feel differently.

	The Village Voice: Status Ain't Hood
		It should've been a triumph; Hot 97 announced the lineup for its annual Summer Jam concert, probably rap's biggest annual event (I should add that this will be the first time I'll have a chance of going to Summer Jam, and I'm just unspeakably amped about it).
		But the big news for Hot 97 is that the New York City District of Carpenters Pension Fund, the organization that owns the West Village building where Hot 97 has its studios, announced that it would seek to evict Emmis Radio Corporation, the company that owns Hot 97, CD-101.9, and KISS-FM, from the building.
		Granted, it's not like Hot 97 staffers are out there shooting people, but the station does carry some burden of responsibility here in its role as a venue for real-time rap beef.
