Duck Down's Buckshot sat down with SOHH for an exclusive interview, where he broke down in detail exactly why he feels New York's Hot 97 is on its way out of Hip-Hop relevancy.
Buckshot argues that the station is out of touch with listeners and is basically on a respirator at the moment.
"I love Hot 97 because they're about to die out. They're like a broke cookie. You know what Hot 97 is like? They're like a sock with a hole in the back. If you're struggling, you're going to wear it but at some point you gotta throw it out because the bottom of your feet are going to get ashy and crack up."
He then brought up the recent news that veteran radio personality Angie Martinez left Hot 97 for rival station Power 105, though he admits he's not particularly up on Power 105's programming.
"It's people leaving Hot 97 by the second. Hot 97 is going to be like a dusty factory that was popping years ago like a relic. You're going to take your kids past the building like, 'I remember when this place was bumping, honey.' Everybody is going to Power 105 and I'm not pro-105 because I'm not fully aware of what they've got going on. I know they support hip-hop."
Buckshot ended off saying radio in general will be over soon as well.
"I told them, 'Y'all done!' Radio stations are done....All the places that are not digital are going to be done. We told people this 15 years ago when we created DuckDown.com. We told them this was going to happen."
Is Buckshot right? Is Hot 97 and/or radio in general dead in the water? Sound off below.
