does it matter if the hood fukks with your music ??

hood nikkas don't be bumping Flatbush Zombies but they sold 28K first week on they debut album. Joey Badass sold 53K first week and then went to sell 120K so far as of March 2015 where as the nikka he beefed with, who said repped the hood sold 4,000 first week. not talking shyt about Troy Ave tho. Chuck Norris(Hoes & Gangstas) is a great song and hot in NYC.

you got cats like Chance The Rapper who def don't got love from the hood, who got like 57.3 million streams on a mixtape first week. he became the club ambassador of the White Sox and was awarded Chicago's Outstanding Youth Of The Year by the mayor of Chicago. while the hood fukk with Chief Keef who is not going to be given opportunities/awards like that because to them he makes ignorant music, once gain no diss to Chief Keef cause he has done what he got to do to provide for his family.

in 1988-89 they did a study on where did most of the sales from the NWA album, Straight Outta Compton come from and it said that, 80% came from White suburbs while 20 % came from Black neighborhoods.

Receipts?
Even if true, this doesn't prove that that album wasn't getting play in the streets.
To answer the broader question, of course. But the importance has steadily declined since 1997 to me.

you've made this thread before

dont worry lil timmy, you can make your lil internet raps and not have to worry about the g's outside fukking with you or not

 

[Hood Critic]

Depends on what type of artist you are. Mainstream, no.

 

[Drip Bayless]

All the real nikkas who had a check before rap do it for the hood

 

[KingBeez]

Hell nah because the hood/your hood is only a certain percentage of an artists sales. If you're tryna be mainstream, you usually gotta cater to the mainstream buyer, which are (usually) non black people

''According to Priority Records' calculations, 80% of sales were in the suburbs, beyond the boundaries of black neighborhoods.[28]''
