I'm Lovin' L.A. and all the "hip hop" songs with house beats

[Wildstyle K]

Despite the fact that there's no "when love takes over" by David Guetta & Kelly Rowland or "beautiful" by Akon, I am loving L.A. radio stations. I'm currently listening to The New @ 2 on L.A.'s Power 106 where hip hop lives and I am loving what I am hearing! Nina Sky's "beautiful People" better become the next big thing soon. I think I even like it better than Dj Sammy's "heaven". La Roux "bullet proof" I really hope it officially makes it to rhythmic, or "hip hop" radio. It was interesting enough that they played it on Power 106, but I guess after Nina Sky's "beautiful people", you could pretty much play anything. They could've just played Ercola or Daisy. I am not really feeling "outta control" by Baby Bash ft Pitbull. Nice beat, but stupid lyrics. Someone should have just sang on the breakbeat instead of rapping it out. Then they also play "who's your daddy" by Mook N Fair. This is the 45-50 minute long new @ 2 mix. The four hous in the mix on Power 106 mix starts at 3pm. Think about it... Then at 7, it's the top songs of the day mixed. At 9, mix 9-11. I really love a hip hop station that not only knows how to be active, but also plays things that some may argue are not hip hop. I guess depending on how you look at it, songs with house beats could be hip hop if someone raps on it. Either that, or they should work on getting a new slogan. Anyway, there's no dance station in L.A., but Power 106 seems to be doing good enough at flirting with the genre a bit. Other than that, I'd say Amp 97.1 is the best, but Power 106 is more fun.

I love L.A., but too bad I wasn't in San Fransisco! Radio has changed so much in L.A. since the late 90's and early 2000's. I can no longer get much here that I wouldn't already get in the mix in Arizona. I miss the days when Power 106 was the home for Lina Santiago, Jocelyn Enriquez... Angelina...etc. Not sure where Rockell lived, but 102.7 KIIS FM played Rockell.

Hmmmm.... I guess all I could say is that "hip hop" has REALLY changed! I wonder where that trance remix of "hotel room service" by Pitbull can be found? How funny they just play that version like that in the top 4 at 4, which is also mixed!

You would have loved it more if Pulse 87 were in LA

Alright, I take back what I said about no "beautiful" by Akon here. I just heard it play twice in 1 hour and 10 minutes. How odd is that! Guess it's bound to happen if I listened long enough over a period of 3 days.

I'm still shocked on this whole 4 hours of mixing thing, that's proceeded by a new music mix at 2 and a top songs of the day mix at 7, ALL WEEK! They don't do it on the weekends because the weekends are all filled with the Power Mix Weekend all weekend. If it wasn't for all that mixing, I'd be bored with radio here. I almost mentioned what if there was a Pulse 87 in L.A. earlier, but changed my mind at the last minute. They do need it here!

To be honest, I really think L.A. could step it up a bit when it comes to dance music. I'm pretty dissappointed actually. Their rhythmic content is somewhat pretty impressive, but there is a severe lack of dance music in L.A, and I never thought there'd be a time when I'd say I could get pretty much get all the same thing dance-wise on Az radio during mix shows... which means, when we had Energy in Arizona, we were probably putting all of L.A. to shame. Times surely have really changed. There was a time when I couldn't ever dream of L.A. lacking dance music! What's funny is that they also now lacking an urban / hip hop station as well, but I guess these days, it really doesn't matter much anymore if you have a ton of stations touching on rhythmic and urban hits.

Nina Sky's "beautiful People"...... I think I even like it better than Dj Sammy's "heaven".

Um, I take this back big time. The excitement for it died after the first two times I heard it. The song is ok though.
