MAYBE u should listen to the interview before making statements..
fokk I look like listening to a radio person who's not even a DJ or on-air personality (who's already not an artist, that's like two levels down from an artist) talk on online radio for an hour
I don't even listen to their shyts with better interviewees (i.e. artists) cuz they're too long
This wouldnt work
You have to think numbers wise...say 10,000 people flooded Hot 97 w/tweets to play some real hip hop...
Hot 97 has the tech to watch when/how many people tune in and out
So they put that song on, 10,000 people tune in, but 1 million tune out... because the typical Hot 97 listener doesnt wanna hear Raekwon spit gospel over "Dont Look Any Further"
Hot 97 knows this and the advertisers paying bills know this... they gotta keep the churn going
I do think there needs to be a central place for "real" hip hop acts to showcase their talent to the world... but because of the disappearance of the ability to monetize it on the scale necessary for radio the radio is no longer it. Payola or not.

You prob wont look too much worse listening to this interview than you do
- when you show you care about how cool you look to people on a message board
- when you're up at 2AM EST (7AM crumpet time, 11PM Slauson swap meet time) on a message board on a Friday night
- when you stan for Vado

They played it a couple of times, but I will bet what I said happened happened... more people tuned out than tuned in
Why else would they have stopped playing it?

Dope interview, post some thoughts about this later.
Hot 97 is part of a fortune 500 company who only gives a fukk about its bottom line. They have no interest in the quality of hip hop on the radio.
Stop being a slave to the radio. If you hear some dope new shyt, burn a extra copy and pass that shyt on ( aint none of yall fukks buying cds anyway).
Unless its college or internet radio don't plan on hearing what YOU want to hear.
Now if yall wanna start your own radio station and play the shyt we like we'd be out of business in less than a year.
shyt maybe we could put our minds together and make a NON - PROFIT real nikka radio network.
No,
Its the concept of a radio representing the genre of music it claims to represent
As well as it going back to being the station that broke all kinds of new talent, rather than just playing whatever gets the most hits
You can call it "lazy" but I would rather be able to turn on the radio and hear good music than have to scour a million blogs and forums

You think "fokk I look like" literally means how you look?
No you fakkot I mean like "who the fokk would actually do that
"Don't be mad cuz you're willing to give an hour of your time to a recording of Ebro at Hot 97
see that even sounds stupidNot everyone is under EST you tard
how the fokk would you know what time zone I'm in, I could be in Europe for all you knowVado is great
What about that Cam song
Great interview, and its cool to have insight on Ebro. He's definitely someone thats been in the industry for a very long time, and I was pleased to see that he knew his rap shyt basically.
That said, it almost made me think less of him. He's here giving props to the artists and albums that he loves, yet as "program director", he does nothing for them...He's basically telling you how much of a sell-out he is. Its interesting to have the perspective because he isnt some "plant" type business-grad, but someone that seems to truly love hip-hop, yet he tells you that he is running a business that does not have the culture's best interest in mind...
I see his point, and his opinion on the Sean Price shyt makes sense, I dont fault him for chasing the dollars, but then again the whole "hey I'm just doing my job" angle feels like horseshyt from him. A little talent show he puts on that no one knows about for up-and-comers? Thats about it. He plays it safe, and maybe if he wasnt getting that fat check he might actually practice what he's preaching...but hey, thats just me

Vado is great

"giving an hour of my time" = turning off music and putting this on instead, since I was home chilling anyway
And again, listening to the mechanisms driving radio from an insider >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> listening to generic ass Vado
And I accounted for the different time zones... no American says "fook" ya cheeky kunt
But even if you are in Europe you'd have been up at 6-9 AM worrying about how you'd "look" for listening to an hour long interview
Again you would have no prob listening to an hour long Vado interview though
Dont make too much fookin sense m8

A really interesting bit was when they were talking about how the demographics of New York have changed, and its so true. Basically, the gentrification and extremely high-rent caused a lot of working-class people (not specifically black folk, but obviously its the focal point in a hip-hop discussion) to move elsewhere
Atlanta has a hip-hop CULTURE now that NY cant compete with. LA is starting to really embrace its own scene again too and it shows. The South fukks with itself, heavily. And the fact that so many people have moved down there can account for the cultural unity. The drawl, the slang, the imagery etc...its refreshing and they salute the shyt they identify with. The artists stay close to where they grew up and still gain popularity organically by touring the local clubs and spots.
The New York "experience" that made 90s music so special and united doesnt seem to really exist anymore. Instead, a more privileged sound like Asap Rocky and Das Racist seems to be more relatable. The living conditions are better, places that were poorer are more gentrified, and the resulting music is a mash-up of other media influences and styles. Theres a lot of big business-influence mixed with wide-spread ethnic diversity over a massive area. Its like there are socio-economic reasons for why music is coming out of certain regions the way that they are.
