It's interesting how a lot off the big rap artists post 2000s never really gained much off an international fanbase, like a lot of 90s act did

Taylor Swift is doing excellent..Carrie Underworld is selling out in California and I don't even think they fukk with country music on any level.
You're saying people in Cali don't listen to country music? Or did I read that wrong? Just tryinta get clarity....

A lot of rap fans of those particular sounds are fairweather. I hate saying it but it's true. If you're overly concerned with "the streets" and "the culture" it's a never ending Zeitgeist chase and you're constantly rocking with the new thing every summer cause the old thing is "played out" or "washed"...

It ain't even a knock on those artists cause they're great, but the modern hip-hop narrative hates preservation and legacy acts...
I’m 45. I don’t have the same appetite for gangsta music when it’s my kids, nieces and nephews that suffer the results of street violence. We grew up

It's really not surprising.

At this point, both Ross and TI get more attention for social media fukkery than they do actual music. So, you're really relying entirely on going to see two artists who have no real history of being great performers, or putting on unique stage shows perform songs you probably fukked with 10 or more years ago.

And if they're like most tours these days, prices were probably crazy. So, would you rather pay $150+ per ticket for good seats to see those songs live, or just run that shyt via whatever your preferred streaming platform is?

I don't need Google. I was at the show.

That's not an arena.
17k is an arena capacity even if it didn’t officially happen in an “arena”. Madison square garden’s capacity is 19,500. Capital One capacity here in dc is 20k. And that’s the sports capacity. Concert capacity is usually smaller because you have to cut off a section due to the stage and equipment.

it's really only most of southern rap acts from the early-mid 2000s that didn't go international.

Game was pretty big in Europe before his fanbase dwindled.
