With the emergence of commercial and crime-related rap during the early 1990s, an emphasis on violence was incorporated in Hip-hop music, with many rappers boasting about drugs, weapons, misogyny, and violence. While hip hop music now appeals to a broader demographic, media critics argue that socially and politically conscious hip hop has long been disregarded by mainstream America in favour of gangsta rap. The radio stations played a big role in promoting this gangsta form of rap instead of the conscious real Hip-Hop. After President Clinton signed into law the Telecommunications Act of 1996 ("Telecom Act") directing the Federal 
Communications Commission to revise laws regarding the national multiple radio ownership rule and the local radio ownership rule, there was no longer a limit to the number of AM or FM broadcast stations which may be owned or controlled by one entity nationally. This led to massive merging in corporate radio and consolidation of ownership to a small few of very powerful companies, namely Clear Channel, Cumulus Media, Inc., Citadel Broadcasting Corporation, and CBS Radio Inc., formerly known as Infinity Broadcasting Corporation. And we all know the outcome, all of a sudden, instead of every radio station having their own program and music director, their own unique personality and way of doing things, everything started sounding and feeling the same. Each station had the same playlist day after day. Radio playlists were now being constructed on a national level instead of regional. For a while, loyal music fans were trapped, begging at the mercy of these radio stations for good music.
