Nixon’s son writes rap music, dad disavows lyrics
The Columbia Missourian did an interesting feature yesterday on Jay Nixon’s eldest son, 19-year-old MU student Jeremiah “Jer” Nixon, who writes and records rap music.
According to the Missourian, the music uses profanity, references violence and refers to women as “hos.” Jer Nixon is quoted as saying the music is “98 percent parody” and should not be taken seriously.
The young Nixon recorded with a group of friends who called themselves B.A.L.L.S in high school, and one track had 3,306 plays on the group’s MySpace page, according to the article.
The Missourian is produced by journalism students and as the article was being fact-checked, the article says the music began disappearing from the MySpace pages and YouTube.
Oren Shur, Nixon’s spokesman, is quoted as saying: “Jay loves his son, but certainly some of the lyrics in these rap songs show some poor judgment.”
Jer Nixon then added an apology for the “poor taste” of some of the lyrics.
Asked about the flap this morning, Zac Wright, a spokesman for the Democratic Party, said: “I think families are off-limits” in campaigns.


I think we should open up the files on all families. Yours, mine, everyones! Form a special police force for the project… maybe we can outsource it to Blackwater. Expose all those skeletons hidden in our family closets. Make public the names of all the rotten eggs in our baskets. That’s the only way we can purge ourselves of the evil elements within our society and in our families. Force the witches to confess, see if they float, burn them at the stakes! This way to the showers, ladies and gentlemen…
