Power's Da Nutz - contract expires at end of year, so...

Since Kid and Ruben are out, wondering if there could be a deal in play with Da Nutz taking over AM Drive at KZON?
 
Wondering if there will ever come an end to hip-hop's immature spelling of common words wiff da rong lettahs. I'm not a fan of hip-hop, so my critique is biased, but it seems to me to be a form of music that doesn't grow and mature as others do. I keep hoping that it will prove to be the disco of my generation; a crappy fad that too many people bought into, that lasted too long, and left nothing of value to posterity. Don't some of these broadcast professionals feel a little silly affecting that street-wise hip-hop persona? There's a radio spot running with Mark Schlereth in the v.o. where he says something like, "buy this big screen, my bruthas", and it's sounds painfully out of place coming from someone who doesn't really talk like that. Hey, if you're a fourteen year old Compton native who slings dope and the 5-0 shot your brother, etc...please, by all means, take a free hand to your consonants. But the rest of us, can we stop the madness? Yea-yah, boyeee!
 
No that won't happen. If they wanted a morning show they would not have fired kid and ruben. It is the beginning of the end for kzon in its current form.

Great opinion! Note your second sentence says I'm not a fan of hip-hop, so my critique is biased...

Was there some type of fad/thing when you were growing up that your parents didn't like? That's YOUR hip-hop! Power 98.3 isn't programming for you, they're programming for a fourteen year old Compton native who slings dope and the 5-0 shot your brother and the endless number of suburban kids who want to "be like us, dress like us, sound like us" (Easy-E). And why would an almost 43-year-old Schlereth say that instead of the Queen's English? Trying to be cool?

Now true hip-hop (whatever that is) might fade away but it'll always live on as singers/songwriters/dancers take aspects of the genre and weave it into whatever they like. Isn't that what America is really about? A huge melting pot?
