they have their niche, but I don't think we are going to see a huge movement like those in the past saleswise it it is what it is.

Off The Cuff Radio/ScrewballRadio/BudeBoyEnt
Another, more troubling development, concerns the decreasing significance of black radio as a tastemaker; as Billboard began to incorporate digital downloads and streaming, they lost their ability to qualify listenerships geographically, and along other demographic lines, as they had been able to do in the past. Add to this an imbalance in which streams are counted towards the charts (for example, WorldStarHipHop still has no impact on Billboard charts), and you end up with some bizarre results, like Macklemore or Psy topping the hip-hop charts without any hip-hop radio airplay.

But the hip-hop charts aren’t all college-friendly hip-hop and crossover artists like Macklemore. Clubs are still a driving force in hip-hop’s sound (as is, increasingly, Vine, a viral appendage of the club, helping singles like The FiNATTiCZ “Don’t Drop That Thun Thun” make Billboard a year after their release). In the last half of 2013, the most popular hip-hop has made a gradual shift from the Atlanta sounds of Mike Will Made It and DJ Spinz towards California’s self-described “ratchet” sound: the syncopated thump of producers like DJ Mustard. You can hear it from Cali newcomers like Sage the Gemini, whose “Red Nose” and “Gas Pedal” singles have had significant chart traction. You can hear it in singles from Atlanta artists like Rich Homie Quan and Young Jeezy (“My nikka,” "R.I.P."). And you hear it on crossover R&B cuts like B. Smyth’s “Leggo.”


They elephant in the room. Cornballs dictate whats hot

Their last 2 group albums havent seem to gotten any attention or even had a concentrated effort to be promoted.

But their solo stuff still seems to garner attention. As a unit they're not as hot as a couple of years ago but I'd still say they are a relevant roster in today's lanscape


And its not like I dig the crew or think they are special

Meek Mill is Memphis Bleek 2.0 . I don't see the difference in them two loud ass n!ggaz. Ross makes the same songs over & over it was just a matter of time before people got tired. Overexposure.

I thought there was an incoming jig the second Omarion's bytchass strolled down that walkway, being announced as the newest signee.
