The radio has to be the worst source of music for anybody that listens to hiphop. Hiphop/Rap is known for being a raw expression of an artists emotions,creativity and style. The radio literally tears down every aspect of talent that the artist may have had, in many different ways. First, the radio must follow rules of censorship.By censoring an artist it takes away the whole message and meaning of the song. Imagine listening to somebody speak and they skip over every other word they say….you would no idea what they are trying to communicate to you. A perfect example of this dates back to 2011 when Lil Wayne started his steady decline and released the song “we be steady mobbin” with a mixtape version and a version that was played on the radio. The radio version is below…..and yes this was actually played on the radio….A LOT!!
