How Often Do We ???

[dorothy929]

WE talk about how much we like/love Dru Hill but how often do we request them on the radio? How often do we call into Video Shows to request the video? WE really need to support then in more ways then just talk. Ya feel me? we really need to call into the local radio stations and request the music.

How often to you all call in?
a) once a week
b) once a month
c) maybe once ever!
d) never

What are your thoughts?

(i fax a request into my local stations daily..)

I Love You was released in February, and it is almost September now. I don't request it anywhere and I never did.

[VaPy]

Yeah you gotta promote when it's still new and hot.

[Xaimara]

Where I live its pointless to call in to request and vote for them so I don't even bother.

[dorothy929]

NO i disagree to promote when it is new and hot.. see the way they get money and stay on top is still get air play even after it is not "just released".. how often do you hear some old Michael Jackson song being played.. or some other groups song.. naw guys.. trust me.. you still gotta request them!

i totally understand that you can not get through to your local radio stations.. this is why i fax in my requests ! try that! if you can!

That actually could work at local radio stations and such, but at 106 and Park, for example, the ammount of people who do vote and call in will immediately out number Dru, if we were to all call today, for example.

[dorothy929]

RIGHT! I AGREE.. BUT IF WE ALL WERE TO MAKE A DATE TO ALL CALL IN OR EMAIL OR VOTE OR ASK THEM TO PLAY DRU HILL IT MAY WORK..

HERE IS SOME INFO ON BET IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO CONTACT THEM.. i have but one person can't make a difference!

Contacting BET would be a waste of time. they'll read it and file it under "R" (recycle). Faxing to my radio stations is stupid. I Should Be and I Love you aren't gonna get back up there on BET. If anything, BET supports only B2k, and anyone related to them.

Plus Dru Hill lost a lot a respect and DWO didn't give them back all the respect. Just a small part. Dru would have to do something that catchy to the ears and something that NO one has done b4. Working with Timbaland and Missy will get them a few number 1 hits and maybe a platinum plaque but if the hip hip/r&b coummunity will give them respect.. that's another question.

I am shocked that you would say that.. the reason i said that was because when i did that (faxed) to my local radio stations here in Detroit they actually offered me tickets to see Dru HIll at our Local State Fair last week. Also they have been playing them more.. i noticed after this one station played them people started calling in more about Dru hill. I hear them being played here more.. So my take on it was positive.

As for BET that may be true but it wont hurt if you are a die hard fan of the group.. (like i am) i am willing to do as much as i can to help them.. Plus i like to hear the music so if they play it fine..

Midnight Love from BET contacted me via email before and said they will try to get them into the rotation. This is why i put up the post thinking if more folks would tell them and they would play it..

just my little 2 cents.. smile

[Xaimara]

I am a die hard fan but its still pointless. Plus the fan base is different from state to state to province. I live in the LAST place they'll ever come. I've made requests to the radio stations where I live. Some didn't know who they were. Some thought it was Sisqo and played the Thong song. So I just gave up doing any type of requesting where I live.

And I won't even start with BET (Booty entertainment television).

[dorothy929]

WELL I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT.. BUT I GUESS WHERE I LIVE IT WAS VERY POSTIVE..

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR AREA!!

[Xaimara]

Thank you.

This was a good topic..

Scola once asked me do I call into the radio & I said nope.. and he said i better start he said they get paid when they play they music.. so i call in often. Not daily like MS Thang here but i call in a lot. When i think about them.. (which is a lot) I will call into a station and request them.

Plus we don't want the public to forget about Dru Hill until the next album comes out.

[TheMedevilDragon]

I request both of them on Galaxy, but I never here them, we never get to here them in UK.
