The Telecommunications Act of 1996 ruined hip hop radio. Conglomerates started consolidating radio rotations nationally. The same lowest common denominator type shyt around the nation. Local DJ's started getting handcuffed as to what they could play. Less local DJ's breaking local emcees.
Some corporate executive in Indianapolis pushing the same songs in every city.
If you want to blame anyone, blame Bill Clinton.
