Here's an article XXL did on Payola in online media: http://www.xxlmag.com/blo...line-hip-hop-journalism/

But it exists on the radio too.

It was just weird to me that only Enuff played his stuff.


Da fact that magnus said "only enuff plays his record" lets me know he knows exactly what he's talkin bout...enuff is da only person in MY playin a$ap on da radio...& its on da 5 o'clock rush hour...da fact that no one plays his record in NYC raisesRed flags for me....a cat like vado will get spins everywhere on hot 97 universally.

I just find it funny that everyone out of state is proclaiming dude as NY's savior and NO ONE I know in NYC, outside of the internet, knows anything about him.

Hot 97 sucks though, the radio hasn't been decent in NYC since I was in middle school. Dudes play the same tired songs over and over again for the most part, if there what your using to determine who's hot, well you can have them
