A Hip Hop Commentary..Happy Born Day Dj Kool Herc

on


real hip hop is not on the radio offthecorner

For all outlets that say they support Hip Hop Culture, today is the day that they should be paying homage and respect on the birthday of the Founding Father of Hip Hop, Dj Kool Herc. Not surprisingly, New York based radio stations Pop97 and Plague105.1 didn’t do a damn thing to recognize the one figure that brought this culture to New York, 1520 Sedgwick Ave in the Bronx to be exact. Now I’m not surprised that they didn’t do anything in his name, I’m just disgusted with the bullshit they are constantly doing, and the mindless people that don’t even give a fk what they are not doing. I haven’t even heard a prominent Hip Hop Icon come on one of their stations and call them out! They are painting only one picture of what Hip Hop is supposed to be! To me basically they are a gossip outlet, if it isn’t Kfoxy talking about wtf Kanye and Kim are doing every other minute, to "Charlene man" running his jokes, and catching beef with every other person in the limelight, they are playing RAP music 99.9% of the day, not Hip Hop music, RAP music! There is a big difference if you didn’t already know!  I have no problem with party music, but goddammit not every minute of the day!



  And let’s face it most of it is simplistic trash, from Trinidad James (Def Jam, you are something else, smh) to Gucci Mane who revels in beating up women. There’s no balance and there hasn’t been a balance in a longggg time, ever since the shiny suit era took over Pop97 shit hasn’t been the same, everything is all about PAYOLA and MONEY. So for these 2 radio stations to not even say anything about the person who gave them this Hip Hop to water down and exploit is an even greater tragedy. And I really don’t give a fuck if you don’t agree with me, this shit has been going on far too long, I give respect to Peter Rosenberg for saying what he said about Nicki Minaj, even though he can be a hypocrite as well, he is chained to the corporate jail of Pop97 as well (we heard some of the songs played on his late night show, not all of them are “The Realness”).
