I know this will get little attention as it is not a "Talk Radio" subject; although as a random listener to KKFR, I can't help but assume that the common attitude about Power is they are soft and weak. They try to brand themselves with the slogan "Where Hip Hop Lives" and they play Fergie, Beyonce, Ciara and other water down Urban hits. If I surf different Hip Hop channels on Xm / Sirius, I see titles that Power won't touch (as they continue to rotate old & tired tracks). In addition, their jocks sound very amatuer (whether it's announcing or spinning), and even though Fashen and Mikey Mike were over-rated, Power sounds worse without them. Who has taken over the MD position? Whoever this is needs to wake up and take advantage of KISS playing TRL 24/7. Even MTV and BET are more aggressive than KKFR (supposively a Hip Hip staple...NOT!)

It sounds as if you are a avid fan of kkfr(WHERE HIP HOP LIVES) i assume you are as white as the audience they play music for are. White people ,especially in phoenix, are afraid of "Real" Hip hop! So thats why they play what they play. As far as Fahen & Mikey mike, they were & are talented dj's (when they aren't using serato) sounds like some you had you're cup of haterade today Gusto
Avid fan? No. White? Not relavant; but by your definition of being white, I should enjoy what KKFR plays. Fashen & Mikey Mike WERE the talent of the mixers; yet they all use Serato, which is why they all sound the same now. It seems you mis-understood me as I said Power sounds WORSE without the 2 (it was a compliment minus the "over-rated"). Haterade? My favorite drink, but how is that obvious when I'm just telling the truth?
Music artists make full albums. Most occasions they have far better tracks on the album then the ONE song a station will play out. So, is it illegal for a radio station to choose songs they are going to play?
I would take a album (Ludacris). Choose 3 to 4 songs. A, B, C, and D it out. A of course being the track the artists pumped money into, which was..."Money Maker". B, would have been "Runaway". C, I would do "War With God" since it also has the underground diss track style (well it is a diss track.) D. I would either choose "Slap", since its unique, or "Grew Up a Screw Up" since it has another Power artist. Grab Snoop's, Jays, Game's, and..MANY more. I will do a couple cause Im bored.

Thats the artists I am playing right now. This works for every artist and every album. I thought the music director's job was to find music. I know it isnt, just I thought it was. A song should never be played twice in a 2- 3 hour period. Thats only a song that is a major major hit. Base it off requests your station actually get. Commercial radio is just weak.
Somebody do something please. Get me back into listening to the radio again. Thats your job!
Now. The normal response I get is:
"Listeners only want to hear the hits."
Well, the listener only knows the hits you play. Create a hit.
"Average listner listens for 20 minutes"
Thats about the time you hear a track you're tired of hearing so many times. SWITCH.
"I dont know SH*T about the industry/You are a jackass!"
I used to listen to radio. So I know what I like to listen to..right?/True.

It's about time someone woke up and noticed that POWER is now about as HIP HOP/street as Vanilla Ice and K-Fed.
