"RADIO PROGRAMMERS are now charging 200k for Airplay cause of the pressure from Youtube & Streaming"

[WSFGDan]

go suck 50's dikk fakkit

I'll leave that to you

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

I just found out there's a rapper named ugly god.

 

[KENNY DA COOKER]

i agree, but i don't really care for "hits" as much as the next person does. i care for quality hip hop.

dude even the qualty hip hop you hear or have heard came thru this process (payola)

Biggie....Nas...Jay Z....and even up till today K. Lamar...Chance the Rapper all benifited from this.

For example ARISTA RECORDS the parent company of BAD BOY at the time pulled alot of "strings" to make sure a breakout single by a street based rapper like BIG got heard...

in fact if u ever check out the courtroom transcripts from the Spitzer investigation you would see countless names of artists i.e (Outkasts) known for putting out quality music being namedropped...

None of this shyt we call hip hop happened ORGANICALLY....

And its been that way for awhile...

thats why Talib referenced legendary Program Director/Deejay FRANKIE CROCKER becaue back in the day he was the man responsible for "RAPPERS DELIGHT" making it to the airwaves in 1979 which led to hip hop spreading to the masses based on his relationship with the parent company of Sugarhill ..MCA RECORDS which was MOB PAYOLA central at the time.

Because Frankie didnt even "like" Rap Music..but he loved them CHECKS

fcking radiodo radio stations still do the fake call-in's with people requesting songs?

I remember actually getting into hot 97 and i requested mop's 4 alarm blaze and they hung up on me... destroyed my young dreams...


this is what happens when you have a set playlist and your whole shyt is dictated to corporate overlords. radio been falling off. Who's gonna pay 200k for spins we got internet radio, soundcloud, tidal and amazon music.

damn that's crazy, i really have no words. IMO alot of the mainstream stuff right now is garbage though. but i find it crazy how alot of the music that sounded "organic'' and in tune with Hip Hop was being pushed like that.

 

[K.Dot]

Radio is irrelevant these days, the internet basically took over. Why be force fed to that garbage they call music?

Eh, the radio is basically just drake these days lol.

 

[BK The Great]

Eh, the radio is basically just drake these days lol.

basically, and other trending artists that i don't even care for as much. it's been a long time since i've actually tuned in to these radio stations.

 

[T-K-G]

damn that's crazy, i really have no words. IMO alot of the mainstream stuff right now is garbage though. but i find it crazy how alot of the music that sounded "organic'' and in tune with Hip Hop was being pushed like that.

Yea the only "organic" stuff i believe is the nikkas down south who were pushing major units out the back of they trunk, no other region had that type of shyt going on at that level

 

[Illified infinitely]

So you need 200k to become famous with a platinum record these days? Damn no wonder all these labels are pushing are actors and stuff. They the only ones with the money to do It. Truthfully if I had that money to Invest in a single I'd be hustling backwards. Fame is not that important. And I don't got dirty money to wash

Speaking of Hot 97, Ebro actually broke down why radio plays the same songs over and over in this interview:


Basically the average person listens to the radio for like 11 minutes so you have to be playing the 'hottest' songs at all times to reel in listeners.

Added bonus:
Ebro loses his shyt when B. Dot accuses Hot 97 of payola

 

[Piff Perkins]

Remember when Ebro went insane after Talib said he paid them to play his records lol.

 

[GnauzBookOfRhymes]

Interesting tidbit regarding the 11 minutes as the average window that you have to reach the typical radio listener.

vlad proves his devil nature every time
