Radio songs have always been about feelin good and partying. Even back in the day. Take, for example, 4-Tay's Playas Club. That was feel good music. It was more musical, had a little more depth to it, but it was popular for the same reasons the new readio shit is popular. The problem to me is that what's a popular radio song nowadays is fuckin garbage 99% of the time, not that it's on the radio in itself. And I don't know about the mob shit having less appeal than hyphy shit because "everybody ain't a gangsta"... A lot of what E-40, 4-Tay, etc. would kick back then wasn't really gangstarism, but it was still that mob music... It's just about being more musical with yo shit and really sayin something...
When you "Rap for the Radio" You make GARBAGE and become a Sellout.

Tell that to slim thug who sold 300 thousand out the trunk for the streets. He starts making club shit and dont even go gold. Yall are jaded thinking just because you on the radio you rakin in dough. It dont work like that. You make more money making shit for the streets than trying to please your slave owners at the lable to take all your money.
yeah....it's a bitch to understand how this shit works.....all I gotta say is Laffy Taffy....come on man...and years ago i would have been hella mad...I ain't even mad at this song...that'sjust how brainwashed everything is and shows how you can play any song on the radio and make it a hit record..play it 5 times in one day...it's called memory...oh people's brain are actually doing one of the functions it was made for to remember....
^^^^ Word up, People actually request laffy taffy, that is the worst song i've heard yet. I thought White T was bad. This takes the cake. This is TERRIBLE. The beat is some Hiphop Ejay cornball shit with terrible "rapping" if you can call it that. I hear kids walking down the street yelling that hook all the time. Mush is what radio music is now. I've been saying that you put anything on the radio and it can become a hit. ANYTHING.
this why i dont even like bay music anymore cause just like everyone says"they have to do it to get more mainstream success so it can appeal to a wider audience" to me its the same shit just like any other mainstream artist making pop songs it may not be like that for everyone else but be honest if it wasnt the bay making hyphy music or if mac dre didnt start all the thizz shit would everyone in the bay really like it? and why does the bay gotta invent some new shit to be heard just stick to the shit that got the bay heard before and sooner or later its gonna be the bays turn just like it was st louis a few years back then atlanta now its houston it just takes time
Revaluate the hate, and direct it in the right direction. I aint mad at the radio... business is business, and money talks. "Spend more on promoting your album... then ya teeth you tryna show off on the cover". The radio plays what the people want and request. On top of that, how can you hate on anigga that got paid off of what "you" didn't do. Some niggas is "Too Hard For the Radio" so the radio starts to ask why? KeaK, Dre, Federation, The Team, Frontline, etc. don't make garbage music.. they just play by the rules. You don't have to sacrafice the quality of your music to get radio play, just understand the politics and make the right choices. Why is everyone hating Sucessful niggas who made millions bout singing about what they want? Just because I don' t like it, doesn't mean it shouldn't have a chance to be heard. My favorite rappers don't need to be on the radio... just in the streets where the streets asking for em. So flip them "Muthafuckas" into "lil suckas" "Bitch" in to "Trick" and "nigga" to "ninja" and market it right. Otherwise... you'll just be another disgruntled rapper mad because his chips wasn't long enough to get em heard.
