I'm an NY head but I need to :salute: Tim Westwood

[thekidfromqueens]

Radio 1's voice of hip hop, Tim Westwood, to leave BBC station | Media | guardian.co.uk

Apparently they are restructuring, and he's leaving. He was always entertaining from what I saw, like the UK Flex. He was obviously a real hip hop head too. Hope he finds another show (love to see him on hot97 or power).

Westwood leaving? That's crazy. Maybe it's the Charlie Sloth era now.

About time that cliched caricature of a hip hop dj was evicted. Less bombs, more interesting music please. Westwood being put in his place by KRS was the greatest day in his life.

Westwood may have gone a bit wayward in his later years-- acting like a buffoon and playing music of dubious quality-- but don't be fooled, the man knows his hip-hop inside and out.

 

[Batter Up]

He had a good run.

 

[Trajan]

Westwood been hiphop since the 80s.

 

[Mike Otherz]

[Pop123]

that corny ass nikka would make my stomach turn every time i seen him doing his best Funk Flex impersonation, a.k.a. being himself. no salutes for him

 

[Peak]

Westwood been hiphop since the 80s.

70's. Westwood been doing this hip hop longer than I been alive, and I'm in my 30s. Could never question this guys knowledge or dedication to the culture

 

[-Quikness-]

[Nemesis]

Westwood never took himself too seriously which is one of the things I always liked about him......... and he always tore shyt up in the clubs...

[We Major]

Can't say I've listened to his show a great deal but whenever I have, his enthusiasm for hip hop is second to none.

 

[Medio]
