Jay-Z Featuring Kanye West Otis

[BJordan]

I heard "Otis" and immediately thought is was the bomb digity . It's sure become a huge staple on Power 106 playlist like the rest of Jay-Z's records. Let's start on the east coast in Jay-Z home town New York City, the song is in constant rotation at Rhythmic WQHT Hot 97, Urban WWPR Power 105.1. While in here in Los Angeles KPWR Power 106 is responding well to the track and KPWR jock DJ Felli Fell spun it twice on July 20th during "The Power 7@7. It sounds hip hop is back from the dead. Do you love it or hate it? Hit me up. Great summer song.

The somg is OK, but damn HOT 107.9 here in ATL is killing it in EVERY mixshow.

@shawtyblackATL It's a hot hit though. It gives you a break from the awful ingorant rapping skills from Gucci Mane, Lil' Wayne, Souljah Boy and Hurricane Chris. Everytime I hear this joint, I think of NYC's Time Square, Harlem. Dang this song makes me want to go back to New York so bad for my 18th Birthday. Hot 97 & Power 105.1 in NYC is murdering this track and so is Power 106 in Los Angeles, Q104.7 in Oxnard and KGGI in Riverside out here on the westcoast. It's getting support in San Fransico with the help of KMEL 106 and KYLD Wild 94.9. This is mos def a banger.

Im sure HOT 107.9 and V103 here in da A will run it in the ground until the JayZ/Kanye concert hits town.  Haven't heard WILD 105.7 playing it even though I don't listen to them.

They also have an collabo album coming out soon.

I would never include Lil Wayne in this list. I think his skills have gotten better, lyrically. It's just unfortunate that he may not have the best voice for singing / rapping and the autotune only helps sometimes, depending on how it is used and how much effect they put on his voice. I haven't heard from Hurricane Chris or Soulja Boy for a while. Gucci's still lurking around..


I was in LA the day that "everybody" world premiered "Otis". Lil Wayne would've "murdered" the track if he added a verse in (and made the song longer than the short song it currently is) and I'm sure Eminem would've done his thing as well. Maybe even Andre 3000 could've been on it. Nicki Minaj would work, too, but I'd prefer the other artists I mentioned earlier over Nicki in this case. Pitbull could be the one to get on it and bring it over to the latin rhythmic side for stations like "La Kalle" or KXOL and get Puerto Rican's in the mix of all the hype for this record.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that it's receiving attention in Tucson as well. I just find it funny what makes it here. Big Sean's "Marvin Gaye & Chardonnay" is ALREADY in rotation here. I checked and even Phoenix isn't on that one yet! Not to mention the more well known urban and rhythmic stations of the U.S. who are also not playing that.

Why Pitbull. He's on everybody's song these days. He's on DJ Felli Fell's Bommerang, Usher's DJ's Got Us Falling In Love,etc. I actually like Lil' Wayne's How To Love and get this he's not using autotune on that joint.

Pitbull's on a lot of faster tracks nowadays, but not many slower hip hop ones anymore. He can also flow on slower beats, and he would murder the Otis track from a latin hip hop point of view! He'll take that song and get it some Caribbean / Central American (and possibly even South American) attention.

"How to love" is one track from him I don't really like too much. The instrumental is ok, but I don't like his voice on that track.

Even KJLH is big on Lil' Wayne's How to Love. Now that station confuses me. They play R&B! Gospel! Classic Soul! Smooth Jazz and Hip Hop. Were you living in L.A. when KJLH was called Rhythm 102.3 KJLH. From what I heard it had a Mainstream Urban format and Frankie Ross was PD thus trying to compete with 92.3 The Beat. Do you remember that time? If you do hit me up with the years the rhythm positioner was used and the songs they had in high rotation.
