If you don't buy music you can't complain about black artists not selling like white artists.

Or go to shows.
It's like pulling teeth to get people to see local\underground\rising talent but yet they'll be the main ones bytching on social media the night of a show how no ones truly enjoys life anymore and reblog milktoast memes about being adventurous and spontaneous without realizing the irony.
And I've seen this on both sides of the fence so it's not just black people.

Does it even matter in 2015 anymore. Many new artist have 360 deals and hardly get paid shyt for the albums they do anyway.
Yeah I kind of have to agree, when chief keef came out and only sold like 20,000 his first week, I realized black people arent really buying music. Cause "Dont like" was huge everywhere...I wasnt even really on the internet like that back then and was still hearing that song all the time, the buzz was crazy..and he came out and only did 20,000 smh 
...I mean nikkas from the Bronx to Miami was bumpin that shyt and he could BARLEY sell.
Meanwhile Adele drops an album nd it does 3 million
idk I dont know all the facts but at this point it just seems like the urban youth arent really "buying" music.

You know what? We might be witnessing the beginning of the fall of hip hop. Just like Doo Wop, no body sings that shyt anymore. And countless other forms of music. From 2005 and beyond hip hop has steadily been in a free-fall decline in quality and popularity.

There aren't anymore REAL poets like 2pac or biggy.2pac was FIRST a poet then he became a rapper.FACTS
Adele put up like 3 milly in a week, that's cool.
If you illegally downloading albums or ONLY stream you don't have the right to complain about this shyt.

When I told folks I bought Future's album they deadass look like
Y'all simple nikkas still not taking everything into consideration about fatdeles sales.
You're comparing spending power from 12% of the nation to 70% and we can break it down even further but what's the point
Beyoncé is as high as you're going to get for a BLACK female artist right now, and as far as fatdeles sales,those 3 million recently divorced fat white soccer moms with disposable income out the ass can give two shyts about a black artist

Hip Hop will never go away, not any time soon anyways. Culturally,it has never been more popular. That Drake/Meek Mill beef was being covered on CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, it was all over ESPN and sportstalk radio.
What I wont deny though is that the quality of the genre has fallen off significantly in the last decade. Hip Hop used to be stacked with mainstream talent. Hell guys like Busta Rhymes and,Ludacris used to be afterthoughts in the game and those nikkas could rap circles around 90 pct of the dudes out today.
The art of lyricism in hip hop is dying. We're not even sure if the face of the genre atm even writes his own music. Then there's Cole and Kendrick. Everyone else is a southern trapper or a drill music wannabe. The East and West Coast built hip hop then the Midwest/South came and killed it.
