Chuck D and Gia'na bring a unique format to AM talk radio with their 'Hit it and quit it' approach to hot button issues and under reported news.
You hear the same news, chewed up a hundred different ways on every other show or blog.
Keeping it on the real implies 'in real time'. Real time in live radio is minutes and valuable seconds in the lives of busy listeners. Yes even at midnight.
Never wanting to neglect to pass on important issues, but not wanting to inundate the listener in one viewpoint (i.e. Chuck and G's spin on one subject for two hours), it is done like a paperboy- deliver it and keep it moving. Peppering it with chunks from Chuck D's fire music collection (can you imagine the size?) and sagely, though often witty, suggestions and opinions on approaches to facing the 'real' world.
Having been delivered, these unique tidbits (we really comb for you so you won't be bored America. Remember the bore police listen to us so you don't have to) can spur independent perspectives to come together.
HIT IT AND QUIT IT
Why do we?
Because it's positively futile to think that after however many years you've been walking around forming your unique perspective, in two hours and one beat to death topic we can change it.
Any journalist, commentator and opinion generator can only attract your curiosity, or rouse your passions with some news in your ear.
How you process it, dress it, coat it, deep fry and mystify it is what is commonly called 'relative perspective'. How could anyone genuinely alter that? Do we think with a collective brain? Digest with a collective stomach, even the indigestible news that circulates our globe?
OTR says run with your URL in all directions pointing to the truth. The one you most believe and not just because we told you. Then don't be afraid to share the news of the truth, from your individual perspective, because that's what they say the air in America is full of.
On The Real offers this quick paced format as a late night, top of week audio companion to those cutting edge and progressive thinkers, still infected with the rebellious energy found in the youth culture. Particularly the genre that devours Hip Hop and urban music as signature soundtracks to their era.
On The Real stands in the doorway between 'grown people's agenda' and youths just coming of age. These Hip Hop and street culture craving 'timers set to go off'- in one direction or another- are needing a media medium letting them know that, they too, factor into what is really happening in America.
Chuck D and Gia'na are deliberate on- air informer mentors, positioned to encourage listening youth through their bumpy first realizations about how life, politics and the history of the American culture work (and who gets sacrificed for it.)
It is unavoidable, this inclusion into the AAR listening audience, this youth demographic that is magnetized by Chuck D's legacy in rap.
Not to disappoint, all listeners will find a well spring of information (i.e. Chuck D's vast and amazing mental encyclopedia of sports and radio and music history, and G's extensive knowledge in the areas of science, history and cultural anthropology). This along with personal experiences within the industry, and the insightful ability to introduce guests who make up this era's coming renaissance.
