Stop focusing on sales, start focusing on art and actually being a great artist…perhaps. So much terrible music by terrible artists being mass-produced and released by terrible people…focus on making better product that lasts and not just stupid shyt that little kids and white girls/smuts enjoy for a week and a half.

If the sales are down 40% they’re probably really down 80% since them streaming numbers is fugazi.

Nas, a leader in this, is showing you how to do it and everyone wants to try so hard not to notice. Focus on making great music, forget the sales, your fans/potential fans will appreciate it and show up for you in droves when you’re in their cities and buy your merch and support your outside endeavors, etc…money going crazy! Sales are politics…and it’s 2023, what even are sales anymore? All that shyt is smoke and mirrors

Good, the fast food music is starting to die. Maybe u fools will go back to making quality music.

If rap sales are down 40% (I don't believe it) and the majority of rap subject matter is black death, women hating, sex and drug usage

What could the problem be?

Pirating? Streaming only and not buying outright? Gotta be something that's not resonating with the fans

All that needs to be said.

How bout y’all talk about normal shyt that people do in your music for once

2023 seems down overall some of ya'll just wont accept this rap shyt is on its last legs though. Rock fans probably said the same stuff when that cliff was coming.

Every time somebody in the industry gives details about it low sales, execs shifting to house, rap artists aren't wanted anymore, somebody on here with no clue about the business is naming lies. They can't all be lying

The avg consumer is tired of hearing all this shyt. Drake is putting up human numbers compared to what he used to. They can't even go back to compare that album's sales/streams to his other ones, that's why all the PR on it is 2023 albums only. What more do you need?

 

[King Poetic]

It’s because you rappers can’t expand your territory outside of drill, p*ssy popping, ass shaking , im spitting on the opps mama grave, etc…

Your main buyers whites and Hispanics like and u know nikkas not spending shyt

Mainstream rap is down but under the radar been pretty good this year. A lot of new and young artist just doing their thing

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

Quality down 100%

 

[Mac Ten]

Cats figure that it's better to stream than to pay 9.99...


There hasn't even been a album that I liked tbh.


The only artist that I've been playing was EST Gee.


Hopefully, Keef will drop Almighty so 2 soon

I been saying that, but these The Booth heads are too caught up in these Mr Magic techno-beats-in-heavier-drums called Trap music, and gimmicks that doesn't relate to quality of music.

Now even women and CACs are leaving mainstream rap in droves. Record companies are planning on going scorched earth on rap subdivisions on their labels very soon, and not many rap albums are charting much at all. Rap as a music force is DONE DONE. 2024 onwards its gonna look bleak because too many greedy stubborn c00ns refuse to step up their lyrical game and refuse to move on from those trap beats.
