They just did their ''realness'' segment and they touched the subject ''why radio wont play ny underground rap''

I think it should be about quality more than anything.. Not about EARNING the right to get played at their station..

Like why wont they play Joey Badass or any of them new dudes? people are interested in them and hot 97 could help them get even bigger.

rich jews run the labels and are friends with rich radio station people

Yeah, it's all label push. You think if it was up to the DJ's they would play the same song every 30 minutes?

Kinda like how Slaughterhouse never got a single spin on the radio until they signed to Shady.

[HighEyeCue]

I'm all for it but women are the majority of Hot 97 listeners and radio in general, why would they want to hear ny underground rap?

[BiggBoogaBiff]

Of course not but did anyone think DJ's dictate what the station play?  That's never been their job.  Bottom line is major labels have more ways to make a customer impression so that's what the people want.  If nobody listened to the shit Hot97 put out over their airwaves, I guarantee their playlists would change pretty fucking quick.
