Aiight, another thing I found funny growing up -- Busta, X & Master P radio edits.
For Busta & P -- think BET movie edits. They would replace the curse with the sanitized version of what they're saying (chickens was a Busta favorite)
X on the other hand was like a soundboard 😂
Which brings me to my next point.
That was 07 -- the very next year begins Lil Wayne's dominance over Urban radio (07 was a tour de force feature-wise, but it began in earnest in 08). Wayne didn't re-record versions for the radio...we got the stutter instead. See "Every Girl"
Listen man -- this is the hill I'll rest on -- the clean version of "Country Grammar" >>>>
Nelly was PISSED when he heard the "Country Grammar" radio edit for the first time, but when his A&R explained that the edit was better than muting his original lyrics, he fell back, and it was still a hit that fans of all ages can sing 😂
"I never heard the 'Boom, boom, uhh, uhh.' The label did that, and boy, I was hot as fish grease. I said, 'Oh, they trying to ruin me.' ... what the f**k is that?"

For anybody outside of the music biz that really cares about this (for whatever reason lol), An on-demand stream generates some weird fraction of a penny while a radio spin generates like $0.25. Do with that what u will lol.
🚨 Jay RoeBuck says RADIO is the biggest reason hip-hop is getting crushed on the Billboard charts right now
Using his estimates of Billboard’s weighting, Jay says Drake has 70% more streams than Bruno Mars, yet Bruno still ranks higher because 65% of his points come from radio.
“Radio counts too much.”
Jay says if you remove radio from his example, Drake jumps from #19 to #11 and Lil Baby from #23 to #14, while Bruno drops dramatically.
His argument is that streaming reflects a listener actively choosing a song, while radio can keep records alive through programmed rotation.
T Lue opted to shout out Mexico, Missouri multiple times during his speech
Mike Brown opted to sing "Who Let The Dogs Out" during his speech
This one is as emotional if not more emotional than the ending of the 2016 NBA Finals.
Cleveland ending a 52-year drought, Knicks ending a 53-year drought.
Legendary video store. Growing up our VHS collection was littered with Erol's cases.
Before Blockbuster took over DC, one Turkish immigrant who arrived here with $16 built a 208-store video empire from a TV repair shop in Georgetown. Then it vanished almost overnight.

Let’s put Knicks-Spurs Game 3 23.8M viewers into context
It was higher than the Game 3 audiences of four of Michael Jordan’s six NBA championship runs. Only the Game 3s of Jordan’s iconic 1993 and 1998 “Last Dance” were higher.
We are in historic, historic territory
Record-setting audience of 23.8M tuned in for the '26 #NBAFinals Game 3 on ABC & ESPN 👏
🏀 Largest NBA Finals Game 3 audience since '98
🏀 Most-watched NBA Finals Game 3 EVER on ABC & ESPN
