lmao, yet ... throughout all these complaints and dislikes - KMEL remains the number one radio station in the area ... regardless of all your likes and dislikes, OBVIOUSLY somebody likes it, OBVIOUSLY sooomebody doesn't have a problem tunning in. without clear channel and/or kmel ... there wouldn't be a hyphy movement, there wouldn't be a siccness - it's not clear channels or kmel's fault that nobody was requestin mac dre until the man got killed, and trust me ... i know what and what wasn't being requested during his time frame.

^^^^^^people never requested it because the real fans had his albums so there was no need to call in to request a song when you can hear it anytime you want.

People who request songs are kids who don't do not own any Mac Dre albums.

I've personally never called a radio station to request any song in my life. I tried when I was about 13 but never get through.

There had been incidents wit Too Short and E-40 at Summer Jams, and other stuff, and they just werent gonna deal with it. 2001, new management. Still, its a slow process. But i know for a fact we started playin Bay shit, in the mixshow at least, Jan 15, 2001.
So riddle me this... because of the Summer Jam incident KMEL blackballed Bay Artist? KMEL didnt have the guts to come out and say 'FUCK THESE ARTIST' so the lame excuse was this "THE BAY AINT PUTTIN OUT QUALITY MUSIC!"
Okay, fine & dandy. But somehow Bay music had enough quality to be played late at night and on mixshows?? MAKES NO SENSE.



as for mac dre only gettin play after he died. thas bullshit. as a fan of MD, who met and spoke with the man, ill tell you thas bull. His fame was WAAAAY overdue, i will say that tho. I checked the BDS on Thizzle Dance, Get Stupid, and Feeling Myself. All three were gettin spins way before he passed.
But Dre dropped heat before that. Rapper Gone Bad could've been on the playlist and so could a countless number of other songs.

But i will say that the turning point to him gettin MAJOR play wasnt his death, but rather, the party that Chuck (Done Deal) threw at Mission Rock and MD performed. It was like watchin jesus the way the people worshipped him. Thas when we realized he needed to get a lot more play. yeah, we mighta been late.
I always listened to his music. I was always a fan. But i never were sure the "radio" listeners would be into it.
Yeah you guys were a little late. Aint ya'll suspose to be the People's Station? It seems as if ya'll dont know whats really crackin in the streets. Ya'll play the role real good tho'. Everytime I see a KMEL street team or their DJ's it confirms the notion that some of you cats got in thru a side entrance. If a cat aint spinned no records at a house party in the hood...He's only a corporate DJ.

The thread starter was correct... KMEL had contempt for bay rappers.

I cant believe some of yall actually believe request mean anything LOL. Why is the top "requested" songs the same shit in different order on KMEL and 94.9 and every damn station across the country? Ever tried calling the radio? The shit is always busy. Its damn near impossible to get through. You have to be a young ass kid or a idiot to sit there and press re-dial on your phone for 30 mins just to request ONE song. The phone is off the hook.

106.1 USED TO SUCK JAY-Z DICK, not to mention LUDACRIS, 50, SNOOP, JUVENILE, DMX, BUSTA RHYMES, MISSY ELLIOT, Mystical ,LIL JOHN, DRE, CUBE, ETC.
They did'nt give bay rappers no love until Mac Dre died. Now all of a sudden it's bay areaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Why did it take until 2005 to get local love?
Wheres the contest's and the fuckin win a promotional tour with the fuckin hummer?
Where's the best in the bay video show or demo tape airplay?
They support you in the south all day long on the radio.
What are your thoughts?
umm MONEY! They rode mainstream dick because they were paid to. Now they are paid to jock artists that are signing/been signed to majors.. Really simple, didnt have THAT much to do with mac dre's death, other than the fact that mac dres death brought more publicity to himself/his region.
