Shady's Airplay Slim in NYC

Looks like Slim Shady won't be getting much radio play in NYC when he releases his latest solo recording The Relapse.
Hot 97 DJ funkMaster Flex announced that he will not be spinning any records by Interscope Records on his radio program. The interscope ban is the result of an apparent beef between Flex and and Interscope representive "Nino."
While Flex didn't get specific he blasted Nino for bad decisions and declared he needed to get his money right.
Interscope is the parent company of Aftermath, Shady Records, and G-Unit records. Interscope is home to Dr. Dre, Eminem, Lady Gaga, 50 cent and Akon.
Other Hot 97 DJs are reportedly planning to follow suit.
Power 105, Hot's competitor, will not be playing rap much at all after cracking down on offensive lyrics.
Time will tell if this will follow through. I'm wondering what happened exactly?
Honestly, I don't even listen to the radio anymore though. Same five songs. I live for the internet. Photo
