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

[KENNY DA COOKER]

"radio is desperate..they are not as relevant"


"because artists like Ugly God are getting 40 million views and streams combined from youtube and soundcloud they dont need radio"

"i as an older artist can learn from a Lil Yachty ..21 Savage..Ugly God..based on how they move (market) without getting emotionaly attached to the music". -talib kweli


" its NOT necessarily PAYOLA! " - DJ Vlad

"no its simply PAYOLA by any OTHER NAME" - Talib Kweli

They don't care about record labels paying radio for airplay the focus is moreso on the radio stations disclosing that it was paid for. I.e. I could pay a station $1,000 right now to play a song and if they disclosed to the audience that song was sponsored by ____, then it'd be no issue.

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

that WILL NEVER HAPPEN especially in a age of deregulation like we going to have here in the Trump era

last individual to try that was the former Attorney General of New York who initiated that Payola investigation of the big four labe!s at the time..SONY , WARNER, EMI and UNIVERSAL that Talib Kweli had refrenced FunkMaster Flex being involved in.

$10M 'Payola' Settlement


i remember this VERY WELL cause at the time was working promotions for a small indy that was trying to break artists via the CLEAR CHANNEL RADIO machine within the southern market.


I cosign what Talib says 100% it was deep "murky" dealings going on from what i witnessed

but it makes sense because Spitzer's investigation originally evolved from a 1998 investigation of the Gambino Mafioso family's LEGAL business ventures one of which unvolved radio promotion aka PAYOLA

What Spitzer uncovered led to indictments and huge payout settlements on behalf of the labels.

And these major labels with thier deep pockets and political connections came back looking for "revenge"...

and it was a WRAP for his career once George W. Bush and his CLEAR CHANNEL BUDDIES gota hold of him in early 2008
