Day 38: Hip-Hop Nation

According to Sirius: Straight Hip Hop hits 24/7!!! SIRIUS Ch. 40 represents hip hop for the entire country (East Coast, Midwest, Dirty South, and West Coast!!!) It's all here on Hip-Hop Nation!

My Experience: Well, they sure use a lot of exclamation points in that description. Plus, they can't decide whether to hyphenate "hip-hop" or not. Ah, well. So, this channel is basically Sirius Hits 1, but for hip-hop. Even I, who is not a fan of this genre, recognized some of the songs playing today. That having been said, clue into the words "not a fan of this genre." The next week or two is going to be not that enjoyable.

Interesting side note...this is the first time that the Sirius dial has skipped some numbers. Days 1 through 37 coincided with the same numbered Sirius stations. However, I guess there are no channels 38 and 39, so we're gonna be off from here on out.

A Time and a Place for Everything: I'd likely only listen to this channel if my passenger was a big fan of the genre. Other than that, can't think of a specific situation where I'd be more likely to listen to this.

Sample Playlist:
  • 50 Cent, Ayo Technology
  • Raekwon, Incarcerated Scarfaces
  • Trillville, Same Cut
  • Yung Joc, Coffee Shop
  • Dr. Dre, Xxplosive
  • Board Bangers, 'Cause the Beat's Hot
Verdict: Sorry...not going to be bookmarking this one.

Hip hop used to be about guns and bitches and blow and stacks of cash. The game done changed. Now it's about area codes, who's got the most wicked rims, and pouring crystal on the floor strictly because you can.


btw - I find your conjugation of the gerund "to be" offensive.
