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.
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.
