He doesn't dig deep into the vast world of hip hop. He predominantly promotes anemic, weak, negative rhyme sayers giving the impression that this sector represents ALL HIP HOP. It doesn't- its just HIP POP
Please tell me the last time you heard him really pushing interesting label/artist/producer on his show?
In the Early days when hip hip was just hip hop (upto mid-late 90s), he played a good range of music. However as hip hop has grown into a multi headed beast that has commercial strands, gangster strands, conscientious strands as well as experimental strands he seems to have nailed his true colors to the mast. Like I said: HIP POP
I listened to some of the typical artists that get endless plugs on his show; whilst I cannot & will not blame them 100% you can see a direct influence in the behavior and mentality of the young ferral cunts that maraud our streets.
It seems many community leaders/journalists/+iveDJs find it a little galling to have his face endlessly pushing and promoting these fucktards with their dry lyrics.
Slaptick rappers need chap sticks!
