89.9 KMOJ Radio

KMOJ? Rush it! (If you’ve never listened to KMOJ, you won’t get this.)
I love me some classic hip-​hop and R&B, preferably from the 1990s and early 2000s. In contrast to the ***ahem*** garbage that other stations blast now-​a-​days, KMOJ brings that hotness on the reg. Mary J Blige? Notorious BIG? SWV? Yes-​sir.
What’s even more fresh is that I’ll usually hear at least three to four of these artists from Complex’s 90’s Male R&B Group Pyramid of Excellence when I tune in after 9 PM on a Thursday:
. That also happens to be their Rush It Or Flush segment!
People, from around the Twin Cities, call in to KMOJ to express their opinions on tracks from new artists. Occasionally, callers will drop gems:
«Yeah, just want to give a shout-​out to my baby mama for holding it down, ²⁴⁄₇. LOVE YOU GIRL!»
«That track sounded like doo-​doo butter. Flush that, please»
«Hi — My name is Denise, and I love my da-​ddy.» (In the background: Denise, what are you doing on the phone?)
I’ve even called in myself and said, «This track is hot! It makes me want to pop my booty all night!» Awww snaps.
Rush It Or Flush owns my Thursday nights, if I’m driving in my car. It should own yours, too.

89.9 keeps it real. we out here listening, even us white folk!

For R&B, there is none better than KMOJ. Not only do they play excellent old-​school music, but they also have a community focus on North Minneapolis and incorporate neighborhood news and discussions into the broadcasts.
I realized last week that I talked about my love for The People’s Station in five separate conversations with five separate people. Then I realized I hadn’t reviewed it on Unilocal yet, so here we are.
Things I said during those convos:
«KMOJ is KILLING IT today!»
«Ooh, I know it! It goes, ‘K… write it down, M… don’t forget, O… set that dial, J… The People’s Station.’»
«I bet Q-​Bear is really nice in person.»
«The Back In The Day Buffet, am I right?!»
«Do you think Q-​Bear would come to my birthday party if I asked him next year?»
I enjoy most of the DJs and the shows, especially «Middays the right way with Miss Georgia» and Back In The Day. The one exception is that I’m not a big of a fan of the rush it or flush it thing (where they play something and people call in to say if they liked it). It also drives me crazy that their Twitter feed is all in caps, but I don’t have to look at their tweets while I’m listening to the radio so I’m letting it slide.
And at night? I wonder how many babies have been made during The Quiet Storm. Caddy the Prince of Darkness hosts and that man’s voice… Barry White should watch out.
