THE CRITIC'S CORNER

The purpose of this table is to give you an idea of how a particular record is being perceived by those individuals who are in a position to present music. With so much wack product hitting the market on a daily basis, we hope THE CRITIC's CORNER serve as an effective guide...

What we've done is gathered up key djs from around the country and soon the world and listed their names, radio stations and organizations. We will soon be adding bios, photos and other features...

We've done this because we know that hip hop from one part of the country is perceived differently in another part. For example, an artist like E-40 is God in Cali, but unheard of in NY. These charts will give you an idea of how a key dj in your area is rating a song.. It will also serve as an effective tool for people who are trying to expand their hip hop boundaries...

If you're a dj who either is on radio, sells mixed tapes or is a retailer and you want to be part of THE CRITIC'S CORNER ..Email Davey D if You want to be part of The Critic's Corner

Now in the table you will see on the left hand side...the name of a popular dj and his radio station or other music outlet affiliate. Each of the djs on the chart have been asked to grade the record from A-F..A is the best..F is the worst meaning failed.

Rating Table

A=Excellent... Dope Jam
B=Good song...Nice cut
C=Fair song...Average..just ok
D=Poor song.. Don't waste your money..
F=Failed..Song is way wack.
NR=DJ Has Not Rated The Record Yet
