GOOD! Now stupid ass podcast hosts and internet nikkas can stop talking about sales and chart positioning to deflect shytty ass music. This shyt sucks and a reset has been needed for years. All that pop ass formula garbage has flopped all that derivative post-trap nonsense has flopped. It's time for the flood and renewal of hip-hop culture as a whole.

Tell these nikkas to go be EDM or Country artist if all you base your value on are these fake ass stream sales .

Nah it's a combo of streaming and Billboards own fukkery. They are letting legit popular songs fall off the charts because they are older than a year old under the pretense that it will allow new songs to join. In reality all it does is allow album drops to dominate the boards for a few weeks with no real impact.

NAH BILLBOARD IS ACTUALLY
ON POINT WITH THIS SOLUTION
SIMPLY DUE TO STREAMING....

20 YEARS AGO NO SONGS
WERE SITTING ON THE CHARTS
FOR YEARS BUT DUE TO STREAMING
A FANBASE CAN CONTINUE TO STREAM
THE SAME shyt EVERY WEEK AND
KEEP A SONG ON THE CHARTS.

THESE BILLBOARD RUNS
HAVE BEEN FAKE AS HELL
OVER THE LAST 15 YEARS
:devil:
:evil:

I don’t know why anyone in here takes this to mean music isn’t selling and the industry’s dead? Music isn’t the problem. The top 40 is full of R&B, country and dance music that’s clearly selling.

The problem is RAP music lacks star power, compelling stories and unique sounds that can keep your attention against all the other content available online.

Kendrick sells because he has all three. Whether you like him or not, YB has all three and that’s why he has the highest charting rap song on the top 100 right now.

It’s really simple. Rap has stagnated creatively and people aren’t loyal to any genre when all music is available in one place for the same price.

That copy and paste 160 BPM trap era ain’t it no more. Trying to bring back boom bap ain’t gonna cut it either. Ngas gonna need to pick up their pen and really come with something new or keep getting wiped down by these pop and country stars.
