The homie Julio was fired because of The Beat being sold to another corporate bigwig and with new ownership and management comes new rules and ideals. The new brass felt that Julio's show back then didn't garner enough listernship to warrant a show of that kind and caliber (playing westcoast-based music), and were those motherfuckers wrong so they fired him.

Same thing with The Baka Boyz, Ed Lover and Dr Dre, and Theo. I don't know if any of you LA peeps remember, but The Baka Boyz went to 92.3 The Beat for about a year after leaving Power 106 and were fired as soon as 100.3 took over. Big mistake in my opinion. The Baka Boyz were probably LA's most famous DJ's, Julio G was basically an icon, Theo was down with EVERY rapper, and Ed Lover/Dr Dre are known nation-wide, they've even been in movies and shit. Now they've got Steve Harvey and Adimu running their station. Just imagine if The Beat still had all of them....The Beat is garbage now.
