DJ Skee Quits Radio

Skee Ya Later.

DJ Skee’s had enough. After 15 years on radio, Skee announced today that he’s leaving his posts on KIIS FM and Hip Hop Nation. His reasoning? Radio sucks. Although he’ll no longer be on air, he says there’s new opportunities on the way. Never settle.

    ….making a stand.

  2. Lucky Lefty says:

    He makes valid points. Radio sucks and has sucked for a little over a decade now. No originality, the same 4 songs every hour…besides, streaming music is where it’s at now.

  3. NYC Shawty says:

    Hip-Hop Nation has got so fucking weak to me, never listen to it anymore, or maybe I’m just getting old.

    1. #Newrules says:

      Naw….it’s weak..

  4. .Trillion. says:

    Salute to DJ Skee for standing up for what he believes in. Most people now only care about the money and fame and will cosign and play anyone and everything.

  5. Salute to DJ Skee, B.

    Never settle. Always strive for greatness. #TIMELESS

    When iHeart bought out my radio station I just about had a conniption. Don’t think I’ve heard 1 old school joint played since then, whereas you would get a whole set in the late night hours. They don’t even air the Big Tigger show anymore on Sundays and gave us Weekends with the Breakfast Club, and radio personality wise I rock with Hot97 so that’s another one of my childhood memories out the window over some corporate shit. Now it honestly IS just the same songs played over the course of a couple hours. I used to be able to guess the shit that’d play next, it’s that bad. So I clearly see skees point and I commend the guy for up and leaving. This right here’s what I’m going to school for and if nothing does indeed CHANGE, I’m going to rethink my career because this industry’s bacame bogus.

    I just cancelled my Sirius/XM subscription for this exact reason. Fuck the radio. He’s right. Corporations ruined it.

    1. Brian B.Dot™ Miller says:

      Sirius/XM is dope. Especially Backspin

      1. b dots father says:

        Says the guy with a dick in his ass

      2. Hands says:

        It used to be dope. The playlists got way too repetitive and wack. I’d rather listen to Pandora in the whip.

        1. Brian B.Dot™ Miller says:

          DJs on Sirius/XM have WAY more leniency than those on FM

        2. The Incredible Creation says:

          Spotify > Pandora tho…. (imo)

    2. Jax says:

      Hip Hop Nation is still way better then Hot 97.

    3. NYC Shawty says:

      Shade45 is still the best hip-hop station going

  10. Tim Adems says:

    Salute. I appreciate the honesty.

  11. Kaybee says:

  17. The real talk of online says:

    Ive heard skee interview on xm and he sucks honestly …. He knows his shows gonna get canced so he wants to quit and make a lame excuss before he gets fired/cancelled

  18. el jim chapo guzman says:

    DJ Skee might be going to POWER105.

  19. TuffestOut says:

    Jackie the joke man thought that was a good idea too

  20. djicecold says:

    HIP-O-CRITICAL! FOH! 1st of all let’s get the real reason DJ Skee is resigning. He wants to focus on building a fledgling “Skee.TV” enterprise, and Mark Cuban is cutting him a nice enough check to focus on that and keep the bills paid. This would be a lot more respectable if he kept it 100 and said “I’m moving my talents to better opportunities – as I have hit the glass ceiling in radio”. To sit here and piss on radio. Skee was happy to get payment for doing everything he now bashes that helped finance and market his OWN EMPIRE. This exit is filled with hypocritical contradictions. It is SORRY. FAKE. BASURA. NOT HIP HOP… now that said, taking applications at Skee TV/AXS or Nah? #YouPlayedYourself

  21. petey the great says:
