Duke coffee shop rap song protest: Joe Van Gogh apologizes | News & Observer

DURHAM
A controversy over rap music that led to the firing of two baristas resulted in anger from protesters and a flurry of apologies Wednesday as Duke University and a local coffee company tried to make amends.

The owner of Joe Van Gogh coffee company apologized for his handling of a situation at its Duke location. Two baristas were fired this week after a Duke vice president complained about profanity-laced rap music at the shop.

Get paid, young *****, get paid
Get paid, young *****, get paid
Get paid, young *****, get paid
Whatever you do, just make sure you get paid
Get paid, young *****, get paid
Get paid, young *****, get paid
Crib so big, that it came with a maid
Get paid, young *****, get paid
Rule number 1, get the money first
Rule number 2, don't forget to get the money
Play by these rules and everything will be okay
Still in my trap, flipping my Frito-Lays
Go get the money, it ain't nothing else important to me
I showed her a Xanax, she hurried up and took
I ****ed her so good, she got up and started cooking
Rolling up big blunts, out a pound of cookies
If you ain't got 40 bands, then you can't book me
Pulled up on the side of your *****, she wouldn't stop looking
That ***** good as tooken, good as gone
I guarantee tonight my *****, that ***** ain't coming home
I got money to count, I got ******* to ****
I got packs to flip, pistols to bust
When I was small, I ain't have nothing
Started selling dope, and prayed to God for a plug
He showed up and said
Get paid, young *****, get paid
Get paid, young *****, get paid
Get paid, young *****, get paid
Whatever you do, just make sure you get paid
Get paid, young *****, get paid
Get paid, young *****, get paid
Crib so big, that it came with a maid
Get paid, young *****, get paid
Get paid *****, get paid *****
You on some rich ***** ****, we on the same ****
Me and my Memphis Grizzly partners **** the same *******
The only difference is I'm a trap *****
Don't you hear it in my voice when I rap *****?
I'm on South Beach with E Feezy throwing stacks *****
Turn to the Macs *****, facts *****
She met me for the first time, didn't know how to act *****
Double R, parked in my mother****ing front yard
Trap jumping like the mother****ing Million Man March
If she ain't got a fat ass, the she can't get up in this car
I can tell if that ass real or fake by how she walk
Get paid, young *****, get paid
Get paid, young *****, get paid
Get paid, young *****, get paid
Whatever you do, just make sure you get paid
Get paid, young *****, get paid
Get paid, young *****, get paid
Crib so big, that it came with a maid

She's lucky she doesn't have to work where everyone is a White Supremacist at Duke University

She thanked the protesters for turning up Wednesday, saying, "You don't know what this means to me, as a lowly African American barista working on a white supremacist campus."

Anyone playing rap where the public can hear it, should be fired

LOL. I was thinking, anyone who listens to that garbage definitely has mental problems. Then it was confirmed when they showed the fired barista.

I guess it has nothing to do with the fact that most people don't care to listen to that language while getting an overpriced cup of coffee.



Sorry, but if you don't have the good sense to not play music chock full of profanity while you're working, you are not a good fit for any job I'd offer.



Good fire. Shouldn't have apologized.

Why is she complaining? If white kids had been playing it they would also have been fired for cultural appropriation.

I mean who wants to get cursed at with their morning coffee?
If the campus is so in favor of white supremacy how did she get the job in the first place?

The stupid is so damn strong these days. People don't know that songs using f--k are inappropriate in a business setting? They REALLY don't know that?
