Title: I was actually happy with the radio today!
Post by: 187Proof on February 20, 2007, 09:50:28 PM
My local hip hop station is just like most fm hip hop station's now 'days. Only playin the same 8 songs over and over again...constant mainstream b/s. That's all good, cuz I'm used to it, but today I was pleasently suprised.......

They introduced a new segment called the "Straight Westcoastin Hour" where they played nothin but westcoast hits & up & comers, and they even did some mixxing with some of the tracks. Just in the time I was listening I heard:

Snoop Doggy Dogg - Murder Was The Case
DJ Quik - Trouble
DJ Quik - Tonite
Snoop Doggy Dogg - Gin & Juice
Ice Cube - You Know How We Do It
Clyde Carson - Hood Stomped Out
The Game - Put You On The Game
2Pac & Dr. Dre - California Love
Tha Dogg Pound fea. Mack 10 - Nothin But The Cavi Hit
WC - Chedder
Makaveli - Toss It Up

.........and more! All back to back to back to back....no commercials, just non-stop westcoast. Damn I was in musical heaven! Just thought I'd share one of my few pleasure experiences with my local radio station :)

imo, our bay area stations suck.  106.1 and 94.9 are trash.

so much that the only radio stations i listen to are the old funk channels, 102.9 and 98.1

I remember we used to have Westcoast Wednesdays in Sac, i think it was like for an hour in the night. I don't know if they still have it since i haven't listened to the radio in a long ass time.

When I visited the Bay Area, I thought KMEL was dope. They were playing a bunch of songs by Bay Area artists.

We have 2 hip-hop stations in San Diego and they're both gay as fuck. I just got back from Phionex, and even they play better songs then over here.

Yea, i occasionally get reception for one of the bay area stations and i always hear bay area cats on there. It's cool they show some local love.
