Radio better listen up- Going on on WERQ 92Q FM

This quick video tells the truth right here about what goes on in the radio industry, especially in Baltimore, MD. I took the station off of my dial a long time ago, but I dropped all of the urban stations because I don't want to hear the same thing several times a day anyway. She's right Future does suck, and to get on Baltimore radio, you have to let the station DJ's be your manager or

New Guest Blog- Why I don't Listen to the Radio

Okay, so today's blog is brought to you by a new friend of As is Hip-Hop, Bea Lesaca of Hard Knock radio. Hopefully, there will be more to come from her in the future.


Has Hip Hop Stopped?
Turning on my radio used to be an exciting experience. I remember before being eager to switch on the stereo & put it on blast, very eager to listen to new Hip Hop jams about to hit the airwaves.


Those were

Radio is Bull...

I got a new angry rant today and it is based somewhat off of Drake. Now I like the fact that Drake is a normal guy and is proving that you don't have to be some gun-toting thug gangster to actually make it in the industry, much like Kanye West did but a lot less feminine. However, it exposes another issue with the recording/music industry. If the label is going to put money behind you and you

Flunk-Flex is the lamest Jock ever

What's happening people? I'm back again to speak on the lameness that is taking over hip-hop as it continues to rake in money hand over fist. You see, some people who are/were icons and helped hip-hop grow but were often part of the problem are hilarious when the situations start to change. Funkmaster Flex is one of the biggest hypocrites in the game. I would call him gay but he isn't gay and

Saigon and I are disappointed with hip-hop

So as that plays just feel me on this, we all know that the celebrities and people we see play a huge role in popular culture which in turn influences our kids.

Remember what happened to jerseys when Jay-z said he doesn't

Ed Lover Sheds some Light

Now I can't really speak on the exact topic that Ed is covering although near the end as he talks about the competition in New York between Hot 97 and Power 105. He talks about how people he helped get into the game turned and decided to talk greasy or spew hate at him for moving to the new station. This shows a lot about hip-hop culture as it stands today. There is a lack of respect in the game

The Local Responsibility problem

Beginning tomorrow, my local radio station 92q (92.3 WERQ FM) plans to start playing the Ricky Smiley radio show in the morning after letting go our local morning team. Now Baltimore is a top 30 market which means we deserve to have our own programming and stations. The biggest problem is our proximity to Washington DC which further fragments the selection because we can get DC stations which are
