Now if you're into hip hop music and the radio industry, one of the biggest stories this past week would have to be Angie Martinez stepping down from her post at Hot 97 and heading to Power 105. I heard rumors that she would be making the move, but when I first heard it, I absolutely did not believe it. Until I heard the official announcement on Power 105.
There has always been bad blood between Hot 97 and Power 105. The long-standing feud between the two rival stations has seen a lot of casualties. From Funk Flex taking shots at everyone from Ed Lover and DJ Clue, to Charlamagne giving the business to Flex and Rosenberg. And of course who could forget the issues between DJ Envy, who was spinning at Hot 97 at the time, and the then Power 105 shock jock Star of the Star & Buckwild show.
One person who has always managed to stay out of the mix has been the "Voice of New York", Angie Martinez. By joining the Clear Channel family, Angie Mar will now not only be heard in New York, but her show will also be syndicated in Miami and can also be heard on iHeart Radio every afternoon starting in July.
Check out her interview with The Breakfast Club this morning as she discusses her decision to leave Hot 97, her monumental interview with Tupac Shakur and more.
