damn, it's bad enough that it's just a bunch of commercial shit (which is expected from a radio station), but where is 213's "Groupy Love"? I heard it was getting MADD love on the radio stations down in Cali? It's getting major props up here in Oregon...

Over the past couple years, radio in L.A. has went straight down the toilet. It's fuckin' sad now. The Beat is a lost cause and Power is not that much better.

Agreed...the beat has been ass ever since they changed from 92.3 and they fired Julio G and cancelled the wake up show. The fuckin station is downright pathetic right now. When Julio G was still on there, they had several hip hop shows such as the 9:00 bomb, Westside radio, the mixmaster's show, Soul Assassins radio, the Wake Up Show, now what do they have? At least Power 106 picked up the Wake Up Show recently.

Thats right, 213's "Groupie Luv" was the #1 song on Power 106 top 4@4 and top 7@7.

Anybody else remember back in the day listening to Theo in the afternoon's after school? Man those times were the shit. They fucked up lettin' Theo and Julio G go.

And another thing. Their morning show's host don't know jack shit about hip-hop. Don't get me wrong, Steve Harvey is a funny muthafucka, but the dude needs to be hosting on an oldies radio station, not one for hip hop. It's just out of place.

Wake Up Show is on Power, but fuck, I used to look forward to getting home, 'cause I used to love Power 106. The Beat was the shit too, but I hated Theo, I didn't even know he was Asian, I just thought he was boring, and he seemed annoyed by the teenage girls aways calling him... lol. Power was the shit though, and the Beat had all the top shows, but both suck. Here in the I.E., we have Wild 96.1, but it ain't really nothing special, though it has some pretty cool concepts, like having straight I.E. talent every Monday night and D.J. contest, and old school 3 at 3. Most of the times it's normal commercial radio but it has some cool concepts. Nothing though like the Beat with Julio G, and Power when the Baka Boyz where in charge of picking the playlist. Both Julio G and the Baka Boyz ran a great station, R.I.P. to great radio.

I Just Listened To This For The First Time This Past Friday Night, And WOW, I Really Loved The Entire Selection Of Music They Played, I Came Home From Work @ 10 and stayed in my car till 12 just listening to the radio...It was pretty dope Music, DJ Counterstrike Is Dope Too....I Met Him Through A Homie, And I knew he was on the radio, but never found out when or what station, untill now, almost 8 months after i met him

Wild 96.1 Is Almost Identical To Power....When I Hear Power Play A Crappy Song, I Change The Station In My Car To 96.1 and Their Playing the exact song, i swear this has happened almost everytime ive done this...its pretty funny....

I got a radio station near me that plays ALL underground hip hop. It is 90.3.. Lucky as fuck. Anyway the reason that radio sucks is Clear Channel owns almost every station.

Yea I got that CD its off the hook, I luv that Eazy E tribute to Roger Troutman. It has that tight ass beat with the talkbox in it. But Dj Quik is/was the master of the Radio Drop hands down. Every single drop could be on his album they're so amazing, its like he takes a beat and adds his own twist to it, wether its the talkbox or one of his instruments or a female singer. My favorite has to be his remake of the Roots "What We Do" with Suga Free

Too bad, Power and The Beat fell the hell off.  I miss KDAY....I know it been almost 15 years when they went away.  They represented L.A. in a major way.  I know some of you are not old enough to remember KDAY.  This was a hip hop station on the AM side...1580 was their frequency.  This is where alot of us went to listen to hip-hop when it was not being played on the FM side.  Some of the biggest names in the industry got started here.  Dr. Dre, DJ Joe Cooley, DJ Aladdin, M-Walk, Julio G, and Tony G (just to name a few) were spinning here on this station.  This station played both West Coast and East Coast music.  This was a time when there was no beef with the East.  My favorite shows to listen to on that station were The MixMaster Show and Uncle Jamm's Army.  Too bad...the current state of the airwaves are not good.  Our own artists not getting heard in our own backyard.  These stations need to take a real good look and recognize.  I was a listener to The Beat when they were on 92.3.  Power 106 was cool to listen to as well.  It's just t that they are more concerned about ratings and play whatever is hot.  Never mind, that the West Coast has set the standard.  These stations are simply faking the funk.   That's sad that no love is being shown to our own.  They get more love elsewhere. It should not be like that.  Peace
