Why did the music industry protect Pop music and not rap?

[Sad Bunny]

Pop fell off for mad long. Rap had a crazy run from like 2012 up until like two years ago lol

Pop music has just made a comeback.

Rap music is so trash right now. They need to do better.

 

[010101]

catchy melodic music with lyrics that are universally relatable wrapped in a image that is attractive & aspirational

pop music is protected because it is better business

U can pushed pop sales way better than rap from the UK/Europe and other places than u can push rap

Yeah yeah rap popularity is good and streams are good, but majority of these nikkas are not selling shyt and this been going on for years and years

 

[DontEemTry]

Rap music isn't as profitable anymore post album release is my guess.

 

[Playaz Eyez]

No it doesn’t

There’s literally nothing wrong with what’s going on with hip hop right now

Raekwon dropped a fire album
Lloyd Banks
The clipse
Kendrick album is still doing great
Drake just dropped what did I miss and a banger.
Nokia is till ringing
Bigxthaplug is out here making waves
Key Glock dropped a good album
Vinnie paz dropped a fire album
Lil baby album was good and had bangers

I still have to find time to get to Boldy new joint

It’s so much great hip hop being made right now I don’t understand why people think this

Don’t try to sneak that bullshyt in there

Music industry didn’t do shyt. “Rappers” gave bare minimum effort that’s why the mcs are coming back into the fold

Because you can't actually like rap. Its like going to the zoo. You dont really want to be in the dangers of the serengeti but it's cool to see lions

And the white man get paid offa alladat is pretty much the takeaway

Don’t try to sneak that bullshyt in there

Damn my boy irrational hate doesn’t look good on you

Pop sells more, gets more airplay, and has more commercial range
