Ice Cube took Los Angeles radio stations to task in a recent interview. The hip hop legend blasted radio in general for sabotaging hip hop, but, in particular, he questioned stations that have lessened the amount of hip hop being played on their airwaves.
"I'm not really happy with radio out in L.A.," Cube said in an interview. "I think they turned their back on the hip-hop scene out there. Not stations like KDAY, they still play the hits. But some stations that got a little more wattage, they're not bumping the hip-hop like they're supposed to...I think if you really focus too much on radio, you'll be lost as an artist anyway. I think radio is very deceptive. It's kind of fool's gold 'cause you always chasing your last radio hit instead of just going and doing hip-hop like you supposed to, you worrying about spins, stuff like that. To me, radio has messed up a lot of artists."
