I don't listen to this fool's show often but I have friends that work with him and the stories they tell are RIDICULOUS. Relationship expert my right pinky toe The one time I met that fool he tried to kick it to me then informed me that he only likes bisexual women and introduced me to two women he was with. I was thinking to myself, "Partna, from what I heard about your toddler penis surely you must only like to watch." Total dick.

I ran into folks like this all the time during my tenure in radio. Bitter folks that feel that they never got their chance to shine and have an unnatural strong hate for anything radio, music, etc. I was always like, "you can have this!" People that were so mad at us and swore they hated the station would jump at the slight chance to be where we were.

I felt the bitterness inside me beginning to grow and I walked away. Doing voice work from home and other side hustles makes me a lot happier.

I pray that one day you won't be so full of bitterness. There's a world left out there to live in. The demise of the world cannot all be blamed on "shit hop" that's funny.

Them two could be cousins. We talked about him awhile back on another thread and another Orger said basically the same thing because they had a friend who dated his cheap ass. Small dick, ain't cute, annoying ass voice, ignorant as hell AND cheap Yeah, he better KEEP a show somewhere or he'd nevah get no pussy. Sorry ass.

Kind of sounds like the same situation in this thread about radio stations being required to pay artists?

You know how I do.

Exactly! I can't wait til his sex tape comes out. You know it's only a matter of time cuz somebody with his ego would undoubtedly film themselves. But nobody would care so it wouldn't even be a scandal. Po thang.

.....and I likes.....

Graycap23 said:

Apparently you don't know anything about me at all because if you did, you would know that I never change my views no matter who likes it and never sell out. I have an open invitation as we speak to DJ in a club that I would have given my right arm to DJ in back in the early 90s when it had a slammin' underground club music scene. A friend of mine who works security there who I've made several mixes for over the years had played some of them for the owner (old mixes of course) and he asked if I would come DJ there. My first words were...."What the hell would I play? Shit hop?" (which is what is dominating that club these days). Oh hell no, Andy don't do shit hop in no shape, form, or fashion, not even in the smallest doses. Of course they were like...."just go through the motions until the style changes". My response..."What change, hell nothing's changed in 15 years and I have a reputation and don't want anything shitty like that associated with my name period. And I would look like a total damn hypocrit playing shit that I absolutely despise".

And as for radio, the only way I would work in it would be at an oldies station. And even then, it would be a constant fight because I would insist on playing some of the harder jams and not just stick to the extremely popular oldies. And then I would want to mix sometimes and be more creative than simply just playing one song after another that don't even sound good together. I would be one wanting to bring about change and radio doesn't want to change. So no, I would definately not jump at the chance to be where you are. I have too much pride and am too damn hard headed.

SCNDLS said:

Some women would have to play it on their blue ray dvd to even spot the thing. At least that will bring some more detail to those microscopic matters at hand.

NMuzakNSoul said:

A magnifying glass wouldn't hurt.

vainandy said:

You wouldn't play anything. Radio is ran by a program called Selector. Your PD or Music Director would schedule all the music. The only thing you sell is the station, the advertisements, and your voice. Don't get it twisted.

I mean, I can see that in your demo, yeah today's music wouldn't be your niche. There really is nothing sexy about a 40 to 50 year old man trying to be down. So you have a point. I just still think you're bitter. Like your neck tightens up when someone mentions Bahamadia or something.

KatSkrizzle said:

One of my homegirls is married to a former DJ in Dallas who worked at the #2 station. He's like 48 years old and was laid off over 3 years ago, yet he's STILL holding on for a job on a hip/hop station. I'm like, dude, I'm 36 and wouldn't wanna hear your old ass on the radio. Imagine what an 18 year old would think. He's so fucking annoying, dressing like he's 20 years younger, wearing one pant leg up. Shit, if that doesn't show you older than Methuselah (sp?) I don't know what does. I really hate this fool. He thought he was hot shit and didn't have a plan B so now she's stuck supporting his sorry tail.

KatSkrizzle said:

Uh...I don't use phrases like "to be down". That whole shit hop attitude, lifestyle, and lingo is what I would love to see change. And yes, I am bitter. I never said I wasn't so there's no arguement there.

And I understand that radio is all about advertisement first and that the DJs are puppets with no say-so or mind of their own. In other words, it's all about business and nothing about entertainment. That's why I would never be a part of it.

SCNDLS said:

And radio personalities don't get paid shit, unless your the other cornballs we've been discussing. Yeah, being a radio personality and that is ALL you live by is disaster. I know a lot of people that identify their self worth by where they work. I KNEW as soon as I walked away that 75 percent of my perks were gone. But the lack of bullshit and headache was worth it.

I had a boss, program director that had to be your guy's age and this fool programmed the Hip Hop station where I worked. He was always wearing Phat Pharm denim suits, timbs, and saying "what's up son?" It was embarrassing. His coke habit got the best of him, though. Shame.

vainandy said:

Being bitter won't make your situation better. It is not good for your soul.

KatSkrizzle said:

For some reason, quite a few personalities here do get paid pretty well like $200K/yr plus side gigs/appearances. I think her husband made less than $100k but he did ok with his side hustles. But after they got married he cut all that out cuz she's paid.

It may not be good for the soul but listening to today's shit rids you of soul....and all rhythm.

vainandy said:

There are LOTS of 80's sounding funk and uptempo jams undergouns and overseas...however its not being played. I don't listen to the radio anymore..I listen to you guys...it seems I have found the best music of this past decade from this site alone. Vain you missing out...you dont have to stay stuck..there is some NICE jams out there. Its not mainstream tho. I tried to send u some good ish that's out now.

- There's also innerlightradio which is a spiritual, nonreligion-based,etc type radio show; there's a few interesting black radio station and programs out there on the internet

I know you have honey and I really do appreciate it. But like I said, I am so burned out on trying to look for good new stuff and even when I do find it, it depresses the hell out of me that there aren't tons of other great new stuff to mix it with, by mixing I mean "blend". I have put most of my music collection into the Windows Media Player in my computer and I love to listen to shuffle. It does get depressing though to hear 50 old jams, then 1 new jam, then 75 more old jams. That 1 little new jam just seems so lonely sandwiched between all those old jams.

But you know how I feel about good music being so underground that it's hard to find. If it's that hard to find, that means that others haven't heard it and you end up listening to it by yourself. That's kinda like masturbation. And you know I'd rather hear good music in the clubs when I'm on the prowl rather than shit hop bullshit. So I still say, shit hop needs to go and something else needs to become mainstream. That's the best solution and plus it's looooong overdue.

I guess it is like darwin finding a new discovery to me. I live for finding funk in new ways and new places I would have never looked. This forum shut me up about alot of thoughts I had..Ready to give up on new music..until I found out people like U, Timmy, psykosoul, jshua and blackguitaist that just gave me LIFE again to look for MORE.

The industry will not change, but my music collection sure can...too much funk to not listen to...it's just too much to stop.

SCNDLS said:

need to do internet research. ain't no black radio (a couple of station claiming to be hiphop, but not black) in this part of the universe if it ain't if you ain't got Sirius or something, then you are s.o.l.

morningsong said:

Huh? There are lots of black-owned stations in the US. Radio-One is considered to be a black radio corporation. It is owned and operated by black people. Radio-One is probably the largest, but there are lots of individuals that own stations. Off of the top of my head, I can tell you that KVSP in Oklahoma City is black owned, so is KJLH. So, I'm confused as to what you are talking about.

As for SiriusXM, they are not black owned. Sure, they have a good variety of urban programming, it's still not black owned.
