I take a look around and I reminisce about old school Portland. The Neighborfair, Oaks park, Burnside skatepark, I remember when you could still swim in the Willamette. And it leads me to wonder. Do people truly give a shit about our city or are they just here to fuck us around?
When I was growing up in this city I remember when people used to help one another. I also remember when you could get on a bus and didn't have to put up with mouthy assed little teeny boppers who thought they knew everything.
I remember the U-Krew, Nu Shooz, The Kingsmen. Shit I remember when everybody still gave most of their support to 1480 KBMS, still in my opinion one of the better formats in Rose City radio.
Nowadays it seems most people could give a fuck about anything, and it makes me sick. Not to dog on everybody but what the hell is going on around here? people seem so fucking lazy they can't even spit their sunflower seeds out the window they have to spit em' on the floor, and everywhere you look there is another homeless person on their last leg whilst the rich man leaves them table scraps as they fist fuck mother earth and sacrifice our health and well being and then have the audacity to lick their fingers clean. Unfortunate it seems that people have dealt with this onslaught of bitterness for far to long and have just lost their taste for happiness. But I believe that we can have what we used to have if we are all just willing to try a little harder and tell these corporate bitches to fuck the fuck off.
Furthermore, what in the fuck is up with local radio and television putting a damper on the hopes and dreams of so many local artists and entrepeneurs, Here comes Cluck channel radio and FOX hole Network TV and suddenly there is no room for the up and coming artists anymore. Why is that? How can we allow such a blatant attack on what is rightfully ours to govern. Sounds like a bunch of haters to me. those corporate gangsters who try and tell everybody what is hot and what is not. Those bitches can eat a dick! Coming in here eating up all the fair market in radio with their waste of breath music and talk radio programming.
As far as I can see we all just need to boycott these waste of space and breath chumps and make our own network that suits the needs of hip hop and other music consumers. "Support the local artists." give them as much love as possible.
Now I am not saying just take everyones music that is put out there. Be selective but give a good product its due.
I see cats going out of their way to make it in this business and they struggle forever. 90% them never even get a record deal not to mention the fact that most of their shit is way better than what you get on scammin 95.5
Fuck them bitches!
Some dudes got history in this town and still get no love from these mad zealots and their fake ass rhetoric. now why is that?
$$$ plain and simple.
Everyone wants a shot. Not everyone will get it. But most of the artists here in P-town have either been working their asses of to attain greatness and push a great product! But nearly never get to see the big time even when their heart is in it all the way.
This is just my opinion but I feel it must be said because I am tired of seeing all of this good talent left at the wayside because of Entercom and other mass media suckin on the titty of the money mammory, supporting the armed forces through recruitment advertising and so on. Whom by the way does not readily support the Hip Hop industry or any other market or genre.
So if you come to this town with the idea that you can fuck and dump us like whores, you got another thing coming bitch! Oh by the way, commercial radio will soon be a thing of the past. The new game is satellite radio and a plethora of opportunity for all starving artists to be heard. I promise by this time next year commercial radio will be looking for a way to hang on to what is left of the FM band and more so the artists whom used to be the mainstay of their listening audience.
Power to the People!!!
