@humzasayshi @DJBooth Savvy or an obvious play? At any rate, it kinda gets a bit murky when considering @Spotify banned @xxxtentacion from its playlist over misinterpreting their newly enforced 'hateful speech' policy. Further, they've been cited to be biased towards men in their music programming.

@WESTSIDEGUNN Not sure what this is for, but you can't go wrong with #FantasticNegrito. https://t.co/dVZByk85iC #blackrootsmusic #cratesishigh

@djboothEIC Great list. Teyana's getting heavy-ro as of late. SiR (2017 release) and new Jay Rock are getting more plays around the studio, as well.

@deejayhiphop @DJBooth See my recent comment here. There's nothing savvy about paying for popularity.

@Yoh31 Peace @Yoh31! Are you or have you been contemplating a piece that illuminates platform bias via @Spotify?

In lieu of @Pusha_T, The Carter's (@S_C_ @Beyonce) and what we've read about its (male-centered) programming, I find it a bit problematic given their influence.

Drake is the cover of almost every playlist on Spotify and it’s lowkey annoying lol

[📂matt.exe @heyyimmatt]

@Spotify why is Drake on the cover of EVERYTHING.... even stuff he’s not related to. Drake - Indie Party? Not trying to alienate us or anything? 👎🏻

[Pitchfork @pitchfork]

.@Spotify has placed Drake on the cover of every playlist on its landing page–even ones with no Drake tracks https://t.co/niM5ehHQxz
