Radio Killer 

Term for a rapper who spits hard but won't get play on the radio due to extenuating circumstances (i.e. censorship), thus detracting a large audience from listening to the radio because they're banging his shit on their own systems instead.
Wyatt: "Yo man, you peep that new Dead Prez joint?"
Donzell: "Naw, you heard it on 93.7?"
Wyatt: "No way! They some straight radio killers, I heard that shit through the wire and popped it straight into my box."
Donzell: "That's what she said."

video killed the radio star 

The name of the first ever music video played on MTV.
Barbara: (Back in 1981) Oh yay Video Killed the Radio Star is coming on in a few minutes!

Video Killed The Radio Star 

An expression about the inevitable progression of society and technology. Has a negative connotation mostly, but can be used in a positive manner. It is a reference to the song Video Killed The Radio Star, by The Buggles, a song about an individual (the "radio star") being pushed out of their work by the new medium, video.
Eventually Nintendo stopped supporting the old consoles and their services. "Video killed the radio star", and all that.

Video Killed the Radio Star 

I heard you on my wireless back in '52
Lying awake, intent at tuning in on you
If I was young, it didn't stop you coming through
Oh-a, oh-a
They took the credit for your second symphony
Rewritten by machine and new technology
And now I understand the problems you can see
Oh-a oh-a
I met your children
Oh-a oh-a
What did you tell them?
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Pictures came and broke your heart
Oh-a-a-a oh
And now we meet in an abandoned studio
We hear the playback and it seems so long ago
And you remember the jingles used to go
Oh-a oh-a
You were the first one
Oh-a oh-a
You are the last one
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
In my mind and in my car
We can't rewind, we've gone too far
Oh-a-aho oh
Oh-a-aho oh
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
In my mind and in my car
We can't rewind, we've gone too far
Pictures came and broke your heart
Put the blame on VCR
You are a radio star
You are a radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star

Hate Sink 

A person you hate intensely not because they deserve such hatred but because they serve as a focus for your general hatred. A healthy way to dispense with excess animosity.
Jake's not really that big an asshole. He just serves as my hate sink.
