IS HE CORRECT???

After watching this a couple of times, I feel a little bit of what JD is saying. Being from Milwaukee, and liking the music that I like, it is safe to say that I am very diverse altogether, as a music lover and as an individual. So, for me, it is very likely for me to hear LMFAO on the radio if it is a station such as 88Nine, which is known for their eclectic lineup of music (where else are you gonna hear Atmosphere, Erykah Badu, and Michael Franti & Spearhead all in one hour?) and somewhere bands like Chester French are selling out shows and club gigs based off of their music alone and because their buzz spread from word-of-mouth. And our "underground rap" scene is more known than any other subgenre of hip hop in the city.

However, Milwaukee is a city that is known for "dickriding" other cities. That is where a lot of what you would hear on a station like V100, You hear records that have a better chance of getting airplay in Atlanta or Houston or some city located in the South than it would here.

We're in a time now where albums are selling less, labels are afraid to take chances and risks on new artists, and new artists, put out relentless material, and despite large fanbases, they are unable to build on that buzz by both critical and commercial acclaim (it often happens with either/or). Hip-Hop is crowded as fuck right now. For every Drake, there is a Soulja Boy, for every Asher Roth there is a Charles Hamilton. You wanna take it there, for every Dyme-A-Duzin, there is a Lil' Crazed (neither are wack, but you get my drift). And because the labels are afraid to bank on the artist that has it all (talent, range, popularity), they instead decide that they are going to invest their money on the trend, whether it is Auto-Tune or the latest and advanced version of the Hokey Pokey (via the Stanky Leg or the Ricky Bobby).

I am not necessarily blaming the staggering impact of quality rap and hip-hop on the radio on trends, it is much bigger than that, it is more of the imbalance that we suffer nowadays whenever we do listen to the radio. How often do you think you will hear Q-Tip or The Roots on V100? Unless they're playing "Vivrant Thing" or "You Got Me". Hence that these are mega-hits, but still these are artists that still put out quality singles, songs that I will definitely take over a "Make the Trap Say Aye" or a "Bricks" any day (noting that I am in my right mind at the time).

So my question to you is this, is the radio fine the way it is? Or is it blatant musical segregation that is causing what we have endured over the last several years? Because in my eyes, it is getting worse and worse and worse.
