Keeping with the theme of the previous post, here’s a little contest for y’all:
I’ve got a mystery “N-word” song streaming on my Vox music stash. The first person to post the song’s correct title AND the artist’s name in the comments section will win a prize.
The prize is a copy of the brand new book by Jabari Asim, “The N-Word: Who Can Say It, Who Shouldn’t, and Why.”
Just click this link, listen to the tune, and see if you can win!
UPDATE (03/10/07): We have a winner. SJ correctly identified the track as “Hi Nigger” by Lord Melody.

is it "Aw Nigger" by Melody?
Nice guess, Withnail, but no.
"Come Go Calcutta" by either Lord Melody or Lord Commander (I saw it listed two different ways.) If pressed, I go with Lord Commander.
You're closing in on it, Withnail... not quite yet, though...
Singer: Melody
Song: "Come Go, Calcutta"
Ahh I see that has already been answered by withnail.
I'll tell you this much... "Come Go Calcutta" is the politically correct re-title, to avoid printing the actual title.
"Hi Nigger" by Lord Melody?
This is impossible. I've seen the same song listed as "Aw Nigger" and "Come Go Calcutta". I've seen the artist listed as Lord Commander and Lord Melody. On iTunes you can download the song - the exact same song as yours - as "Come Go Calcutta" by Lord Commander. Elsewhere I've found same song, same title, by Lord Melody.
Final Answer: "Aw Nigger" By Lord Melody. (or Lord Commander?) god damned calypso.
Congratulations, SJ. You win!
SJ: Email me at undercoverblackman@mac.com, and give me an address to send the book to.
Withnail: Sorry, I had no idea there was such muddled information out there regarding this track.
