I've never seen so many non black rappers trending at the same time at streaming services

I was looking at the trending songs on spotify and this caught my attention.

Lil Pump
Post Malone
Lil Peep
Eminem
NF
Cardi B
6ix9ine
Logic
French Montana
Macklemore


Outside the US not many black rappers getting plays besides lil uzi and a couple others.
Is it time for a new genre? :jbhmm:

As a little consolation for these CACs ruling the charts is that...

  1. Trending only means most searched. Nothing more nothing less. Trending only translates into marketing dollars available for X artist but that doesn't necessarily translate into real world sales or authentic interest.
  2. Even in the 90s when Hip-Hop was at its commercial peak the highest selling acts were CACs or nikkaz with CAC tendencies like Vanilla Ice, Eminem (but he doesn't really count coz he respects the art), and MC Hammer.
It's always been that way since the 90s except that there is physical evidence that you can see

As breh above me said, trending literally only means most searched. Migos, Kendrick and Kodak Black are the only rappers that dropped this year who certified gold or better:sas1:

And, despite all the Chicken Little-esque claims in the Booth, hip-hop is actually best performing genre in the world right now and the only one where all of its major artists are eating good:sas1: Every major label right now's best selling department is urban music
