So people only listen to traditional radio? So people only look to traditional radio for their music needs? Is this 2009 or 1991?

What u think? Askin a dumb question like that, smh. Doesn't matter nigga the fact remains that their is nothing positive being shown in the mainstream.:rolleyes:
 
Niggas like Jay-Z, Kanye West, Kid Cudi, Lil Wayne, Drake etc don't do shyt to uplift our community. They don't make songs like Keep Ya Head Up or Dear Mama. They don't give a fuk but expect us to support their wack azz albums and shyt. It's can only be uphill from now though cause hip-hop is at it's all time low.

Are you sure about that? Maybe you should do your research before you boldly make claims that hold no merit.

Secondly, your right. There are no positive Hip-Hop records on traditional radio, but that doesn't mean people are being forced to buy into the negative. People that want socially conscious records will go else where to get their fix i.e. satellite radio, streams or blogs. This isn't 1991 where all you have is the radio on your boom box or in your car. There a now a few dozen ways to get music YOU like. Don't point the finger at commercial radio for playing music that pays the bills. This is a business.

If you need direction on where you can find 'positive' Hip-Hop I'll point you in the right direction...

I can see where Jiizard is going with this. I agree with him to an extent, but he's a douche.
 
There was no more "balance" in the 90s than there is now. You can find just as much positive hip hop today as you could find back then. It's all about where you look. Don't act like the in the 90s you were hearing mind enhancing music on the radio.

"Look At Dem Girlz wit da Daisy Dukes on", "Put it in ya Mouth, in ya muthaf**kin mouth", "Jump jump, tha' Mac Daddy Make Ya", "Bytchez ain't sh*t but hoez N' trix", "All I wanna do is do my boom boom boom and a zoom zoom, just shake your rump", "I get around, the underground don't stop for hoes", "Shawty swing my way", *that famous bassline that came with nothing but a sample that said "Doo Doo brown!".

This is WTF hip hop is. Quit trying to make it what you want it to be. You had to turn off the radio to avoid the hip hop you're overanalyzing in the 90s no different than you do now. The reason that's what's on the radio, and always has been, is because majority of radio listeners want to hear it and support it being there.

Why do we have to "google" or search far and wide for positive rap songs and the negative bullshyt songs are forced in our face? Of course their were nasty songs on the radio in the 90s but theyare nothing like those today.

The same reason you gotta "google" to find a real good singer, but people like Miley Cirus are thrown in your face. You really beleive The Jonas Brothers "Rock"?

Real artists usually aren't as easily molded into marketable tools because they stand firm on what they beleive. I know that better than most of you ever will. I lost out big from not allowing myself to be molded. And I was firm in my ways at age 15-16, so you can't sell the bullsh*t to me.

Music business is no different than the car business, cereal business, whatever. Don't bullsh*t cars sell because they look cool and everyone else is driving one or wants to drive one? Can't you put a 10 cent toy in the bottom of a box full of sugar and call it "cereal with a prize inside"? Same sense, if you want a balanced breakfast, you don't go with the "popular cereal. You want a sufficient across the board reliable vehicle, you're not getting that same 300C with 20s on it every other wanna be Baller got to look cool while making payments on what's ultimatley a K-Mart brand RR Phantom. :cheers:

I don't have a problem with the music on the radio, reasons why? 9 times out of 10, I'm playing CDs. I heard "The War Report" by CNN just today for probably the ten-thousndth time, know the entire album word for word and still love it like I did in 98'. Have yet to hear an entire verse of the song "Poke Her Face". And FYI, CNN was never mainstream. Nore, year, but CNN...never.

You have no one to blame for the music you choose to listen to but yourself.

All I do is play cd's and I also stand firm on my beliefs as well but it only hides the fact of what's going on, it doesn't change anything.:cheers:
 
^^^What's going on? The same thing that made the Supremes bigger than the Vandellas regardless of which group was actually better?

The same thing that made popular urban groups in the 50s disquise their ethnicity?

This ain't new. It's the business of selling records. That's what's gone on since someone first found a way to turn profit off music. Do i need to explain that Beethoven wasn't as great as other composers who didn't shine until after their death, but popularity makes him the biggest name in Classical music and comes with the myth that he actually composed anything worthwhile while deaf?

What do you think all this means, you know something I don't on the matter apparently.
 
Oh, you know, I know, and we all know and there's truly ain't shyt we can do about it but release music independently and pay the fuk out of the dj's to spin our shyt.
 
Nah, I don't know. I don't pay DJ's to spin my sh*t, and I've had enough mainstream success to know why I'm better underground, and actually chose my path.

Not that sh*t people say because they're doing everything they can, and that's still the only outlet they have.
 
If you want good radio, listen to AM, where people are still free to talk about things that matter and give out accurate information.

You're not going to change what's on the radio. Ever.

And credibility of article lost as soon as he compared C.R.E.A.M. to Pretty Ricky.

Everyone thinks some "power that be" is keeping "real hip hop"(whatever they percieve that to be)from being played.

They fail to understand this is a business where companies lose millions of dollars taking chances, so they stick to what works until an artist comes along that's hot enough that they're willing to gamble with them.

That's why everyone in the 80s for the most part wore big rope chains and had a haircut and dance named after them. That's why everyone in the 90s for the most part were from the strret, sold drugs and busted guns. That's why everyone of today for the most part wear tight jeans and rap over 808s while trying so hard to be "different" they fall right into the cookie cut trend.
 
I don't even play the radio neither
only if I need to know the sports or the weather
I'm a cool type of brotha but yep
your head I'll sever from the neck

3 Stacks is dope, and yeah, this is pretty much me too. I listen to some news in the morning on the way to work.

That about it.

Oh, and the author of the article is presenting a biased arguement, obviously Pretty Ricky and Wu Tang Clan are in totally different leagues. Not saying I dont agree with him, Im just saying the article is extremist.
