The real reason why hip hop isn't selling anymore

[NotaPAWG]

this sounds like kid music youd hear on a cartoon

 

[How Sway?]

I actually like Young thug but I agree. Novelty rap should have never been taken seriously...

 

[b@squ1@t]

very few of these rappers actually have any "star quality"...and over saturation has made the music so disposable that fans place little value upon it

 

[The G.O.D II]

everyone wants to talk about the reasons why rap isn't selling when in reality, it's doing as well as every other genre and in some cases better when it comes to sales

3 of the top 5 highest selling albums of 2013 were hip hop, and 1 was r&b (beyonce).. the other? Justin Timberlake

Exactly. Whens the last time a rock act topped the charts?

Top 5 selling albums of 2013 were the 20/20 experience (R&B), MMLP2(rap), Crash My Party (Country), Night Visions (corny motivational rock), Unorthodox Jukebox (fake midget MJ pop)

What list are you looking at

exactly

the white demographic ain't into these trap rappers really and the black demographic doesn't buy enough CD's to support the culture.

I actually agree, that's not necessarily a bad thing but this song is bad. and I'm a fan of his music.

 

[L. Deezy]

rap sold best in the 90's.. this generation loss

 

[TheLoneRanger]

It's not selling anymore because most of it isn't worth buying. The quality has gone down. Now anyone can get a deal and put out a album. Before you had to have talent.

The hate for Young Thug is so fukking strong

Must mean he's gonna be a big hit

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

i'm upset IAMSU would be associated with something like this


and i really don't know if this young thug thing is another internet meme/joke/troll job like lil b or people are listening to him for actual music enjoyment
