Rant About The West Coast Radio Stations (I'm Sick Of This Bullshit)

[Halu Sination]

ok, for once west coast rappers have FINALLY dominated the power 106 playlist again. YOUNG ROSCOE HAS MADE IT TO THE NUMBER ONE SPOT ON BOTH TITO AND FELLI'S PLAYLISTS. yet i find it strange that i NEVER hear that shit on the radio station on power 106, neither did i hear daz on the radio when he had the #1 spot. yet every other rapper that's on the top 4/top 7 list gets played 24/7. may i ask what the fuck is going on? i got much love for the east, but dont you think its fucking time that our OWN shit gets played?

[Halu Sination]

am i the only disgruntled fan?

[King Tech Quadafi]

well homes, I dont live in Cali but I feel your pain. Because it is only when the west supports its own will a proper market develop for them. Then they can blow up the way southern cats is now,

Try listening to Vancouver radio.  The beat here plays straight CRAP.

[js83]

Yep...i agree..i posted a simliar thread awhile ago...its bullshit how the westcoast radio stations are mostly supporting shit from the eastcoast...while the eastcoast stations never play westcoast music...fuck all of em.

Dude... Try living in Finland...

Fortunately I can always push that "Play CD" button on my stereo, both in my crib and my car. I dunno about y'all.

[Halu Sination]

thank all of you guys. it is great to know the west is even supported from different countries.

we need to start off with the radio playing our own shit. that's like the first step to recovery. all of the old california djs (theo and all of the old djs) played westcoast shit 24/7 during 90's when west coast rap was its peak of fame. now our djs play nelly and and a buncha corny fags that nobody gives a fuck about. if we could just get the west coast talent on the radio, then we'd be getting somewhere.

im sick of this regional bias shit. while the aftermath shows undying love to the east, wc and jayo felony get fucked over at defjam records. little do the fans know that while defjam wasn't doing shit during the death row/bad boy domination, warren g was out there making his paper for def jam.

and then we see the locksmith, who murdered the living shit out of reign man in the def jam contest. and don't give me that marketable crap, because the reign man's style was flat out boring as hell. at least locksmith cracked a few humorous punchlines here and there. hell, did u guys hear the comments they made between the rounds?

"reign man, you tite... but locksmith is killin this"

"oh this is a EXCELLENT match... a match of ages... but lock... MAN hes off the hook"

"yall doin your own thang, i personally think smith is winnin... but hey thats just me"

they were all up on locksmith's jock and REIGN MAN STILL WINS. was mtv and def jam discussing how they would fuck over locksmith before the final round or what?

sorry, like i said earlier, i got much love for the east. a few of my favs (pharoahe, rakim, talib, mos def, method man, 50) are from the east coast... but shit man. can't they show a rapper from cali (an ALIVE rapper who isn't dre or snoop) some love every now and then?

my favourite radio station is bbcs 1xtra i definatly recomend giving it a listen it plays a good mix of british and american hiphop

[R-Tistic]

U feel the exact same way I feel. I only listen to the beat when 106 is havin commercials, because they play the SAAAME hitlist shit i hear down south and on the east coast. I always say the west will never do shit if the west radio stations dont support the west.

Word, 1xtra is pretty tight. Rodney P and Skitz is a dope show on Monday nights, and there is an independent hiphop show on somewhen as well but I can't remember when.

[Halu Sination]

does that british station play westcoast shit at all

[DJ F Sharp]

that's why me and my partner put together the West  Coast Connection radio show that gives airplay to strictly west coast artists.  Unfortunately we only are able to broadcast through Monterey and Santa Cruz County in Central Cali but soon we'll hopefully be reaching San Jose when we upgrade the station.  We play artists like E-40, Too Short, Mistah FAB, The Click, Planet Asia, Roscoe, Living Legends, Del, Hieroglyphics, Grouch, San Quinn, EA Ski, Nate, Snoop, Dre, DPG, Roscoe, Sly Boogy, jurassic 5, dilated peoples and so on.  We play gangsta and independent rappers too.  If you want tapes of our shows.  Now every week we have on a special west coast artist guest and lately we've had B-Legit, San Quinn, E A Ski, Mistah FAB, and Sly Boogy on the show.  Tapes of B-Legit & Sly Boogy are still available w/ exclusive freestyles and interviews and music and what not.  And when we broadcast again in september we already have booked artists like E-40, Too Short, Mack 10, Yukmouth, and others to come on the show in september-october.  If you would like to recieve tapes/cd's of the show, that can be arranged as long as you pay for Shipping and handling which depends on where you live.  We'll ship anywhere and we'll give you the entire two hour show w/ exclusive freestyles and interviews.  If your interested holla at me, mfelby@aol.com

honestly i havent listened to the radio in like 5 or 6 years, the last time i listened was when Julio G had that westside show on 92.3 the beat on fridays from 8 to 10. That was the only time i would listen otherwise naw i hate the fuckin radio, same songs all day long

[S.G.V.]

fuck damizza...that foo is a straight up bitch...yea sure he collabs with quik...caz...etc...but he hardly plays them...hed rather play 50 cent/jay-z/camron every 5 minutes...and the beat...fuck the beat....they get rid of the wake up show...then they get rid of the greatest radio personality of our time...julio g...fuck them...thats why i never play the radio...fuck a summer jam and fuck a powerhouse...look whos at powerhouse...yea they show a whole lot of love to the west...fuckin hoes...

[LIL GUY]

I feel ya'll Fuck Power 106 and fuck the Beat.  They play wack ass shit all day.  And the only west coast Shit that Power Plays is shit related to Damizza, and that shit is Wack.  Shade Shiest is Wack why the fuck is he on the radio.  I know a lot of you like Westside Connection but Im not feeling Ice Cube talking about Jesse Jackson, and Wack-10 Talking about robbing peeps at a party.  I wouldnt mind hearing some Rass Kass, or some of the liks, that new J-Ro is bangin,  I cant hate on htem playing 50 because he is he hottest rapper right now but why the  fuck are they playing Black eye peas that song is wack a fuck.
