Shouldnt it be a conflict of interest for an Label to sign a DJ especially a bds radio dj ?????

antarticp

speak on it

RawAce

roflllllllllll

yes

the only dj's that should get signed are local dj's who make beats/good blends and know how to develope/introduce/break new rappers

but i would think the best thing for a label to do is sign a dj known on bds radio because then can send all their artists thru that pipeline

matter of fact,
rofl,
cancel this thread before someone sees this shit and it becomes the standard

antarticp

lol if u got enuff money and clout in this game you can easily create an monopoly lol


lol @ RawAce ... funny ish is that they release this info to the public and you wonder why certain artist are featured on singles and get mega radio play ..... its the next level of payola and it flew right over folks heads ...

Nope, Radio Djs do not have a say in what songs get major air play on the radio.

your right !!!!!!!

but correcct me if im wrong but guys like Khaled and Greg Street are mixshow djs ... WHO ACTUALLY DO GET TO CONTROLL THIER PLAYIST to a certain extent ... meaning they have slots where they can slide up coming artist in and have tons of other slots for mainstream artist and artist with heavy relationships with the station ... similar to a Cosmic Kev in philly or Doc B who plays in philly too ...

for those not familar with mixshows they usually play in the evenings and late nights .... however there are exceptions Doc B has a mixshow during the rush hour in the day .... i actually had one of my artist get play during that slot in the past ... and have heard meek slide in during that time on his come up ... as well as another local artist around my area ironically bad luck around the same weeks my artist was suppose to get play cause his record featured an known artist ... ours just featured my artist ... which is when i found out they have alotted "slots" for specific kinds of artist .... basically just 1 slot to slide someone whos coming up .....
