In the 90s every market had;
1. One top 40 radio station
2. Usually one Urban radio station (R&B and Hip Hop)
3. At least one College radio station that might have a Hip Hop show that comes on once per week. (Those college stations were more likely to play songs that weren't in the top 40).
4. Plus MTV, BET played Hip Hop and R&B
5. The Source came out once per month.
6. Mixtapes in general came out of New York City on 125th st in Harlem. But there was an industrious person in every city that would go to New York and buy DJ Clue, Doo Wop, S&S, Ron G, Kid Capri, etc. tapes and bring them back to his city.
I lived in Newton, Ma, Binghamton, NY, Albany, NY, Middletown, NJ and there was always somebody hustling mixtapes from 125th st.
Nowadays everything is on the internet and nobody listens to the radio or buys magazines.
Is it better for the fans now or in the 90s?
Is it better for the artists now or in the 90s?
