No, not in Alabama!
Show move motivated by race, say students - Tuscaloosa
The University has moved a homecoming performance by the hip-hop group the "Ying-Yang Twins" to a stage on the fringe of campus, near the hospital. In other words, in the middle of nowhere, far away from where students actually live and go about their daily activities. Meanwhile, a performance by a country singer, "Neal McCoy", and the winner of the local "Battle of the Bands", will perform on the Quad two hours earlier.
The University swears that this
Seriously, this isn't about race, it's about age and money. The McCoy concert has nothing to do with the students. It's for the parents and alumni who are here for homecoming. The students are getting thrown a rap group and the school probably feels that they should be grateful.
NB: I have no idea who any of these people are.

I keep trying to think of some kind of stupid George Wallace reference but it's just not working...
They certainly have some colorful lyrics. I'm sure those alums would enjoy the crowd-pleaser "Bedroom Boom," for example. "Whats to understand that I love to f*ck, Can I hit it from the back or put ya ass in a b*ck?"
"I have no idea who any of these people are."
Right there with you. Del, you spend too much time downloading i-Tunes. ;)
That was a thirty-second google for "ying-yang twins" and "lyrics." I had a feeling there might be some valid objection to this group's being featured at the alumni bash.
The last iTunes I downloaded, if memory serves, was Desi Arnaz singing "Cuban Pete." Catchy!
