A couple days before his speech at the Nokia Theater, Ghost delivered a similar soliloquy at Toad’s Place in Connecticut. This time around, he digs a little deeper on how (Insert your local Hip-Hop radio station here) brainwashes listeners into liking crappy records.






Who are you and what have you done with Guru? Seriously, we go from the emotional rollercoaster ride of thinkin' we're gonna lose one of the game's greatest MCs to some sick pathetic soap opera involving a man of no blood or kin relation denying family members the right to see their loved one. Now yes Keith Elam may not wanna reconcile with folks he hasn't been on good terms with for the past seven years but that's his decision not yours. From the outside lookin' in, you seem really shady. And if Guru's nephew claim is true that you signed documents as Keith Elam's brother and your wife as his sister than that's just plain alarming. An abuse of power. Releasing statements to websites and official Twitter accounts in Guru's name when he doesn't appear to be able to speak on his own behalf is also misleading and completely wrong. Be clear: At this point the only thing relevant and important is the status of Guru's health. Nobody gives a fuck about you or 7 Grand. Guru's legacy is Gang Starr. DJ Premier and Guru made classics. You and Guru make crap. And you should get slapped for meddling in family business.
I'm not dissin' but you shoulda stayed missing. Everybody in the club get tipsy. Nobody in the club remember your name. Damn shame.
This is true tho, because in DC you dont hear too many local artists on the radio but a lot of them are starting to get shine and were held back by the bullshit artists that they play from outta town all the time. But we got talented artist and we coming. These are the six MC’s with deals in the DC Metro area. Stamp they some of the most original and toughest lyrically out here and the city gon ride for em

On February 8, 1996, President Clinton signed into law the Telecommunications Act of 1996. Section 202 of the Act eliminated limits the FCC had previously placed on the number of radio stations on ownership of radio stations in a local market. Between ‘96 and ‘03, the number local radio owners declined by 35%. By ‘03, Clear Channel Communications owned 1,200 radio stations.
Obama needs to fix the FCC.
