please help me out and tell me how he was not representing the whole station during the time he made those comments......
and there were like 20 other artists on the bill, it wasn't like she was the headliner of the whole show - i wouldn't say she abandoned her fans
im just sayin

You gotta use common sense here. When he says commercial he's obviously referring to the pop/euro techno soundin sh*t.
Saying that, funk flex never really plays that stuff anyway.

I don't care how many other artists was on the bill..she was one of the BIGGEST ones..he said what he said...it dont represent the whole station..when Star shytted on Aaliyah after she died and was always shyttin on Jay..did Jay stop goin up to Hot 97 cause of it?..did he stop his money flow cause of it?..nope...that was one dude...he made a song shyttin on him..and demanded the station give him repercussions...she didn't give them a chance to punish dude and she bounced on the people who payed good money to see her...Rosenberg didn't hire her...the station did...she made a commitment to the station and her fans..she broke it...
Who says they don't cut her mic off if she gets on stage and starts dissing the station though. fukk Hot 97 and their bullshyt, and Flex is a clown, and I am saying this as a non Nicki fan. Wayne made the right call, they can survive without Hot 97 easily.
wasnt slaughterhouse on the bill?
didnt wiz perform last year?
didnt they have eminem close the show to a so-so reaction?
again, i'm no fan of hers at all - but the committment was actually broken when an employee from hot97 station made disparaging remarks about her music - which is a direct attack on her "brand" - at that stations most significant event of the year...

That's how I look at it too... she's not stickin' it to anybody but her fans and herself by not performing. Hot 97 doesn't take the loss cause "lineup subject to change" absolves them from having to pay anyone back so they didn't lose money, it's a breach of contract on her part, and their show still went on. And all because an employee of that station chose to make a remark regarding a song that he personally dislikes. The thorough thing woulda been to go perform and dis him during the performance, cause it ain't like they were gonna shut her down if she did it. She would've ultimately been the winner in that situation, not some comment made by a DJ in the afternoon when half the stadium prob'ly wasn't even full yet.
And I agree with Rosenberg- sure, "Starships" is trash. But that dude flyin' his 'real hip-hop' flag is starting to come off a lil' fake at times. He's like that white dude that always has to go extra-far to prove his authenticity and devotion to real hip-hop... all while carefully picking what grounds to tread. Cause I know damn well that as "real" as his hip-hop tastes are, Waka Flocka is probably the worst rapper in the world to him. But where were his views on Waka? Conveniently, he had none, because Nicki is a much safer target than Waka would be. I respect Rosenberg's views a lot of the time, but he does tend to pound his chest a lot for a guy who's hosting the morning show on a station that barely plays any of the shyt he champions.
