it is good to hear that Kweli is doing well. Funny thing is, I was in Stacks Vinyl in Cerritos last weekend, having been down there buying my ticket for Freestyle Session 10th Anniversary, and I asked the guy about the album. He said it was only O.K., just a few tracks stood out so I decided to wait until I heard more from the album (I'm sick of being excited about a Kweli album and then become disappointed in half his beat selections..) but I remained cautiously optimistic. I'll probably try to give it a listen.
And about a 24-Hour Hip Hop Classics format, I thought that was what the return of LA's K-Day was supposed to be, with DJ Melo-D and Icy Ice spinning for them. They busted that out a few years ago right before I moved out of L.A. I'm curious to know what happened with that?
Polow's views on white women are little more enlightened.
Pathetic all around.
yup, almost went without saying...
24 hour hip hop classic format? that sounds like a great idea.
man those rec execs don't know an ass from an elbow.... the music industry is done. they refuse to change with the technology. I encounter many business execs who say that from an economic standpoint, the music industry runs a terrible machine. they spend too much on promotion and get little returns even before the net. the Dj Drama debacle was their last stand
I was just thinking about the idea of a 24/7 Hip Hop classic station...it makes great sense and should have been happened. I don't know about where ya'll from, but in Atlanta, the Hip Hop station pretty much lets DJs come in on holidays and just mix mix mix mix...so its alot of variety and mainly vintage stuff. It always sounds great when they do it...should make it a fulltime thing.
Jeff,
Just checked out the blog. Some great stuff. If you don't remember, I was you driver to-and-fro the airport in Iowa City.
I just wanted to point you to this Washington Post article, in case you haven't read it yet. It's about finishing the last episode of The Wire.
Hopefully the link works.

Check out Sirius 43 Backspin.
Also, XM's Old School HipHop channel -- EP is Snoop.
Classic hiphop already there.
In Atlanta, we did have a 24 hour classic hip hop station for about a year...but then it was switched into a classic rock station. But people have been very vocal about missing 97.5.
