…And it’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. He claims this has been his title from the very beginning. Interesting.
I’m sure just about everyone has seen or heard this news by now (I’m sure every single blogger on the internets is reporting this as well, natch), but after reading another one of Kanye’s Tweets it got me thinking:
3 songs in the top 8 on Hot 97? That’s pretty impressive, however, I don’t believe I’ve heard any of Ye’s new songs on radio in Chicago. Yeah, “Power” was in rotation over the Summer, but that Beyonce track “See Me Now” – I don’t think I’ve ever heard that on the airwaves.
Upon further research and internets scouring, Power 92 doesn’t have one Kanye song in their Top 10, and WGCI has nothing from Ye in their Top 20. The closest thing WGCI has is “Monster” coming in at #28. Twista’s “Make A Movie” is in the Top 10 on both stations. Which begs the question – is Chicago radio no longer feeling Ye?
City of Hella Haters.
One night last week i heard Monster on 92.3’s countdown…
it has to be a big hit all over the world before people jock it in the crib, so they know it’s safe and you won’t look like a tool liking non popular music.
they actually played See Me Now a lot real late at night on Power 92 when it first dropped
most ppl like ignorant music and rather hear the same line over and over again on a shit beat
it says alot about our society when people look up to stupid people
Chicago Radio heads are “afraid” to play any of kanye’s hits. I get yelled at when it comes to putting him in my weekend mixes. They say “kanye has alot of work to do to build his image” I’ve been pushing “runaway” on my own and I still get a great response from those who follow me to continue to play it. But if kanye is going to make a “come back” in Chicago, he’s gna need to come back to Chicago.
Chicago radio sucks a fat one. Only thing worse is Southern IL radio stations. Chicago radio for hip hop and rap is so bad, I can’t even think of how it could be any worse. I can’t even put into words how bad their song selection is. They all deserve to go bankrupt. We would be better off without them altogether and at least that way I wouldn’t have to hear them even when another car pulls up on the side at a stop light. No disrespect to the people at the stations but y’all playlist are trash.
@DT its not society that caters to ignorant music its CHICAGO. How come Ye is getting spins everywhere else but here at home???
On another note, Ye doesn’t come back home that often so maybe the stations are pissed at him. I think he is just treating the city how he was treated when he was trying to get on. He barely got love until he started doing big shit then all the people that didn’t give a damn about him started jocking him
i was just talking with some friends about this today.
was wondering how other people felt about it. i think its BS.
WGCI+POWER 92=PAY TO PLAY!!!!!!! Ye TOO BIG to still have to pay these clowns to play his records! Fuck GCI and POWER!!!!!!
Chicago radio ain’t feelin NO Chicago artists period !!!!!!! If this ain’t obvious now it will never be to us.
One thing I will say is that if you want anything done it must be done from the streets. If you look at history the streets controlled everything and we dictated what was hot. Now it is in the hands of program directors. Some dj’s are instructed what to play so it’s really not their faults. The one thing that is simple to do most people don’t do and that’s simply not tune in. If you don’t want to hear the bs on the radio don’t tune in, stop voting for subpar music. If you wanna hear Ye’ take it to the streets. I’m sure you all understand this business. The take a good look into the urban world see whats shaking and then put it on radio. Remember WE control it….well if we really wanted to.
