This.

Some of the utter shit that was being played blew my mind.

Haven't listened to JJJ all year.
I don't like much of the music, the presenters or their agenda.

I listen to espn radio, Opie and Anthony from America, various podcasts and music that's been out for years.

I'd say the only thing on JJJ I hear is John Safran and Father Bob.

I stopped listening to jjj a few years ago, it'd been a downhill slide for the last decade. That Thrift Shop song has very little merit or longetivity.

Even though this is a year old, it's just as relevant given reactions to the waste of time that is the modern hottest 100:

Re: Aussie hip hop

I think what happened is that as the quality of mainstream American hip-hop fell off a cliff there was no longer a barometer or an ever-present comparison of how awful Australian hip-hop really is. While in the early 00's you were comparing these bogans rapping about spray-painting trains to some really good (albeit mainstream) US hip-hop acts, these days all the American stuff we get is terrible so there's no real way to look at Lil Wayne saying he moves silence like the G in lasagne or whatever that garbage was and find it any higher in quality than MC Darren rapping about the South Morang line.
