any PD would have produce dem arbitrating ratings under that amount of music/artistic talent
how? there were other stations any they did not do those numbers. just give credit where it's due b...they took risks and came out on top.

as she said hip hop wasn't even mainstream when they started phasing it in.

how you gave her credit when you said anyone could have did those numbers? you basically saying she had no influence on the come up :what:

the fact that they actually ramped it up with hip hop is taking a risk. hip hop was not mainstream at that time. building a strong radio station that dominates the charts is bigger than some good hip hop albums coming out b. you sound stupid :mjlol:

After Ed Lover left, it was Fatman Scoop and Miss Jones doing the morning show for about 6 months or so. I remember it being okay with them on. But like Tracy said, Star and and Buc came on before them at 5am just so they can get ready to take over. I believe March or April of 2000 was when Star and Buc had the full morning show.
