Why Is Adele Getting Play on Hip-Hop Stations???

[Gold]

whatever it is people seem to like it, i've heard other music playing on HOT 97 too before. shyt was sounding like some techno shyt and not even close to hip hop or r&b.

I agree, some of today's R&B sounds like technopop

People are still listening to the radio in 2016 instead of having your phone hooked up via AUX in the car

because HIP HOP stations are NOT black stations...

we don't own shyt.....the bulk of these "radio personatlies look like this"

so why yall so shocked???

black radio hasn't represented the community since WBLS got sold by the Percy Sutton family of harlem to a big media conglomerate...

EMMIS BROADCASTING and CLEAR CHANNEL don't give a rat's azz about your culture

Breh, as sad as this is.... you right

This guy knows...period.

Hip-hop & R&B stations are now pop stations...
So don't be shocked to hear Ed Sheeran or Sam Smith or Adele on those stations.

I wish people would talk about what things really are instead of trying to brainwash themselves trying to believe in something else (unnecessarily thinking outside of the box)


Say it and stop eating up the rhetoric. It's usually just abuncha Half-Truves foreal

There has been synthy black music (R&B and Funk.) since the 1980s. It's nothing new

Obviously, black people fukk with Adele and are requesting the song. Coli militants don't represent the black populace at large.

 

[Canada Goose]

Adele's music is R&B. Timberlake and Thicke have been getting play on Black stations for years now.

Her music kinda reminds me of Whitney and Mariah in the 90s..

 

[IllmaticDelta]

She has a soulful voice, that's pretty much it. It's the same reason Sam Smith and Ed Sheeran got played. Hip Hop stations basically mean anything black people fukk with in 2016.

It has to be something clearly rooted in "black" sounds, which Adele, Sheeran and Smith clearly are.

What's funny about Sam Smith is that I had no idea that he was White until the day after he won the Grammy.



I knew I hated that shyt for a reason. I tried to convince myself not to despise it (before I knew who he was). It was churchy and it was about Love. But I just could never rock with it . Then when I found out that he was White I figured out why

Hot 97 is garbage now.

Basically it's just trap, EDM mixshows on friday, maybe some bachatta and reggaeton for my boriquas...but as a hip-hop station it's done. Been done.

So i'm a militant for asking why Adele is getting play on Rap/Hip-Hop/R&B stations



I wonder if they play Future on country stations

You just mentioned 3 pop artists....


Adele reminds you of Whitney? In what way?

Tha better question is how often is Future played on EDM radio and Top 40?



But we already know the answer to that so we gotta think of a better way to Approach AND Discuss this shyt
