Billboard: ‘Is Hip-Hop’s Dominance Slipping?’ “My Concern Is the Magic Is Gone” says Carl Chery

[Ellen Degeneres]

They are treating hip hop the musical genre as a company that has yearly growth plans and stock reports Then act surprised when people are not excited. I get it, numbers stanning culture is insane nowadays, but even putting this out there is a blunder and disrespects the artists and fans that really love(d) the genre. This corporate drivel reflects so well on the poor state of hip hop. The circus is back in town.

Because the streams make him seem bigger than what he is, imo...and streams are real fishy and iffy so it's a lightweight asterisk next to his name...next to the asterisk that was already there for using writers. Does he sell Eminem/50 Cent/Nelly kind of albums really? I mean 50 was selling like 8 million in the states, another 5 overseas. Eminem was selling like 20 million. Nelly did like 8. I think Drake is just a consistently, kinda sorta close to double platinum, artist...just looking at the actual sales. And this is no hate, I fux with Drake when he's not rapping, lol...I like R&B/melodic Drake shyt. And, all that said...streams and everything included, you may be right, no one's had this consistency.

He was big even before streaming. Nothing was the same and take care were before the streaming era

 

[Playaz Eyez]

Crying at “lotta classics”. It would be very generous to say there’s 2 classic albums on that list.

 

[CrushedGroove]

49 - Rappers/Rap groups
16 - R&B singers

65/100 is Rap and R&B



Many of the country singers biggest songs have Rap and R&B flavors



This doesn't even include pop music like Dua Lipa that's based on house music.

Hit that reset button

*Turns my “heart belongs to you” back up*

 

[bourgeoisie tall freak]

The fact that Billboard groups R&B and Hip/Hop together is

it goes hand in hand thee days, the hottest rnb artist be rapping (beyonce, sza, brent, breezy)

 

[Whips-n-Chains]

28.4% midway through last year to 27.64% this year is technically a slippage but overall I would say no. One look at the market shares compared to the other "genres" shows you nothing else is remotely close.

HipHop & R&B = 27.64% market share

Latin Music = 6.25 market share

World Music (this includes Afrobeats and K-Pop) = 2.2 market share

[Juggalo Fred]

NBA Youngboy, Rod Wave, and SuicideBoys

Suicideboys are pretty good but they are to Three Six Mafia what Black Haze was to 2pac

 

[Jerz-2]

Pushing garbage catching up.

It’s boring and redundant

These.

 

[Ziggiy]

They really injected Post Malone’s wack ass into the spot Cole deserved?

Its Kendrick, Drake, and COLE that are the superstars of the previous generation not no damn Post

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

When did r&b get lumped with rap/hip hop? That’s disrespectful

 

[Formerly Black Trash]

When did r&b get lumped with rap/hip hop? That’s disrespectful

Might as well say you know what music

 

[Ol’Otis]

When did r&b get lumped with rap/hip hop? That’s disrespectful

Tank said something like r&b singers having to compete with rappers I didn’t know wtf he was talking about until I seen they merged the hip hop and r&b charts
