You gotta have hits that cross generations. And they dint have them. Not a diss, I'm a fan of both

CREAM is definitely one that crossed generations. Maybe not the latest one.

Yeah, not this generation. Probably the closest would be "All I need". They mamas Probably played that in front of them.

Nobody fukking with her either.

My local heads know what I'm talking about.

If you were caller 97 and you got tickets it was like a Willy Wonka Golden Ticket and then they'd read you the roster just to overwhelm you with the talent. Sometimes they'd add more acts as it got closer.

You know who else about to be at Giants Stadium? ASHANTI!

caller:


Now you're telling me the LIRR to Elmont woulda cost more than the ticket?

 

[Buckeye Fever]

I love shyt like this so I can laugh in the face of idiots who say hip hop is as good as it has ever been. No the fukk it ain't

Not artistically
Not production wise
Not lyrically
Not stage performance
Not quality of songs/albums

I don't blame Meth one bit

this generation barely remembers Meth as Cheese

Summer Jam been struggling to sell tickets in general.

It's crazy how Ebro and Rosenberg singlehandedly turned Hot 97 to irrelevancy, yet the station still won't fire them.

That's what happens when the let an out of towner act as a gatekeeper to a New York hip hop station.

Same reason why Conway was beefing with Flex cause they wouldn’t play his songs, then he made music with Busta, Meth & Kane and then he was happy to play them. Radio stations are out of place, the internet and social media took it over now.

This is the summer jam lineup out here….

Nothing like the lineups we had in the 90’s/00’s

 

[JordanWearinThe45]

Not sure why Ebro would book them, Summer Jam is a younger crowd, Meth is more Rock The Bells, Roots Picnic vibes

 

[King Jove]

they set them up.

look at this lineup

Spoiler

I mean Funk Flex is the premier show, so there's no reason for him to play underground.
The other timeslots and shows OTOH should be playing local and underground hip hop that has a buzz or that's really good.
