How does something like IggyAzalea get played nonstop on urban hip-hop stations?

Inner city kids and people who listen to rap music can't possibly like her music and request it. Every time I turn on the radio this past week and that stupid song is on....I just don't get it. I'd assume everyone switches stations immediately just as I do.

So why do these stations play this crap? And I'm not talking about some pop station that plays Kesha either. I'm talking actual rap stations that mainly play Jayz, Kendrick, Meek Mill, etc.

Seems to fit in nicely in the motif of terrible music

I think it has to do with contacts and financial reasons.i heard there was a company that owned 50 stations and they made a deal they would play the song 30 times on each station I'm guessing other contracts like that exist.

Well she raps so it'd not that big of a stretch



What's weird is that Lorde gets regular airtime on hip hop stations. That makes no sense

Nikki just has horrible management telling her all the exploratory type sounding music and whatever sounds great right now, her flow goes fricking hard, mixtape Minaj back when she was a poor girl from Queens is some of the best female lyricism I've ever heard and Iggy isn't even close to that. Iggy is a by product from outside the states who only got pumped full of what made it out to Australia, studied it and molded her style into the "pop garbage" she has released, what is sad is lyrically she also has talent but she is stuck in her box because it is her comfort zone. I doubt she ever lives up to another song or hit like "Fancy" because it has been so massive the end of this Summer. Like Coolio's "Gangster's Paradise", that annoying white dude rap/rock combo group that sang "Butterfly" or hell even "Whoomp There It Is" none of those groups or artists survived past there hits (even though Coolio won a damn Grammy) because of the massive amounts of ridiculous over saturation of that one song by that artist. That sadly is Iggy Azalea as talented as she is or isn't.
