Plenty of songs that are 'good' don't make it to the radio for any number of reasons. They don't just play good music and Ebro knows that. They play music that is handed to them from pre approved outlets that obviously have vested interests in the music they are pushing around.

And there is nothing wrong with playing this type of music because people do like it. We can't sit and pretend no one likes to hear Chris Brown, Nicki Minaj, and Katy Perry. If you are looking for balance, don't wait for it. Go pull up spotify, pandora, google music, your own playlist, itunes music,XM radio backspin, etc.

Yeah, xenophobia is just like racism, bullshyt, you judge people as individuals not their colour or location. I remember hearing a story, forgot who it was about but might have been like a KRS and someone in Japan or somewhere met him and cried cause it meant so much to them lol. To be dismissive of anyone really is stupid, and no-one real does that, Bam's shyt is called the UNIVERSAL Zulu Nation for a reason, I think something Chuck has is about Planet Earth and worldwide Hip Hop too. We're all brothers and sisters in Hip Hop regardless of the bullshyt. There's members of the Zulu nation all over the world. Even the music Bam and them used to play originally was culturally diverse, and at the start they didn't play Hip Hop cause there wasn't Hip Hop. And with sampling and shyt too it's an amalgamation of many things mixed with our own shyt. African, Caribbean, European and so on. I think it works how it does everywhere, there's a lot of ignorant @ssholes everywhere and real people everywhere too. It's like sometimes with something like WWE, sometimes people in U.S get spoilt cause they see them all the time, if they go somewhere like let's say.. India, they will go crazy cause they hardly ever get to see them, or somewhere in Africa so they often appreciate it that much more. Often the artists are very well respected and supported abroad, it's love. I know a lot of the underground and legend artists make very good money touring abroad cause yes it's true in some cases they eat better internationally than being restricted nationally. And I'm pleased they can eat internationally and sustain and maintain with that international revenue, it's a very positive thing. I've met MC's and all kinds of HipHoppas globally and it's all love and respect, there's no noticeable different other than accents, we know the same shyt, know what's ill, it's a bond between people who love and live Hip Hop. Infact to be real some of the international heads often know more than the U.S ones, it varies individually of course though. For real, that's a good point, fukk Hip Hop Honours if you ain't gonna respect them 365. They deserve HUGE respect for allowing everyone to eat in the first place. I've always tried to personally give back financially through business to some of the legends and greats, partly because their work is often a pinnacle level. Whether it be songs or shows, KRS to this day wrecking stage shows, while a lot of people struggle in that department and are bland. Yeah the priorities are all fukked too often, people boasting over fukking numbers instead of music, boasting about who their banging instead of music, shyt is fukking music lol. Exactly, that's some clown shyt, who needs that shyt to get p*ssy? Someone with no game or authenticity. Cheerleeding for these shytty artists when they wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire then diss the ones trying to uplift you... fukked mentality. Yeah, people love to put people in labels nowadays to discredit them, fukk all that bullshyt, only sheep fall into that nonsense.

At the beginning of mean streets
Ebro saying "if the song is good it will play" is the most coded statement ever. He really feels like he's talking to utter and complete idiots and fools. Most of the time he probably is though.


Rosenberg and Ebro shouldn't even be able to fix their face to speak to Chuck. Period. I feel like the culture is weak because nobody told them to shut their fukking mouths and not try to put themselves on the same level as a legend who pushed this culture to where it is today. They work at the station and they don't even respect it like that. No matter what they say.

ROsenberg ain't more HipHop than a kid who grew up on the streets back in the day when it was in the ghetto. The same Ghettos he was afraid to drive through the streets of where it was at. Think he would have been comfortable?

Naw he's the "expert" because he bought some albums back in the day in the safety of his Jewish Suburb.


That's every fukking thing that's wrong with the culture today. The folks who picked this shyt up from a safe distance now dictate and feel like they can speak to a legend.

:wow:

man.. that site i mentioned earlier of Chuck D's, i was supposed to do some work for.. finally remembered it..

Hiphopgods - Where classic hiphop lives - HipHopGods.com:

@The Ruler 09 @FreshAIG @Newark88

Oh you meant this site, I was aware of this site, was on it the other day. If you don't mind me asking what were you supposed to do for it? Originally when you mentioned it I thought you meant the radio site. Is this a new one? I was wondering what they were trying to accomplish on the site, as going on it still looks in very much the development stages.

its actually been around for awhile.. they just cant get folks to contribute much, im assuming because they dont have a budget allocated for those kinda things.. or, maybe people would be down to contribute..? i dont know.. i was gonna do some interviews, and go shoot some shows.. i know alot of folks.. especially older heads, which would tie in well with what their going for.. whoever i spoke to got to stuttering when i asked whats compensation.. so, i just went about my business..

their clearly still around.. they had some tour last year, and was asking if i wanted to go to Charlotte, but i was down in Florida.. still talk to the chick who offered me the gig.. shes cool peoples.. :ld:
