Our music falls off for two reasons:
1) When our artists blow up and consistently break records and top charts, they get hit with the "he's a sellout", "he's a c00n". Then people move on to the fresh, new artist. We cultivate and promote that artist through word of mouth until that artist blows up and crosses over. Said artist is hit with the "sellout" and "c00n" title. Now, that artist is tossed aside and considered one of "them". By them, I mean "cacs".
2) Some of us or possibly a lot of us will quit listening to an artist just because an artist acquires an influx of white fans.
Example:
Hip Hop that catered to the streets was huge. At it's peak, it was dissed. People even claimed that it was used to destroy the consciousness of Hip Hop. Okay, over time, Hip Hop that catered to the streets was no longer cool. Artists gradually started to look and sound more like Kanye and Pharrell complete with the whole collegiate and skater look. Now people complain about how soft Hip Hop is and say that there is a conspiracy to make men more feminine.
I've never seen so many people claim to love Hip Hop, but the words and actions say otherwise. It looks like people are more concerned with complaining, gossiping, and watching artists they claim to love fail. Then there's all this grand standing about how Hip Hop is being taken over.
