shit don't these fools realize that lil Wayne's going to shoot them. I think that the real problem with rap sales right now is that the market is just oversaturated with rap and so much of it is so similar.

Did anyone click the Big Daddy Kane link? It's a decent song and I didn't know why they were down on him until the part where he actually appears in the video. Yeah, that's pretty much a mistake.

I can honestly say that I haven't bought a rap album since last year, which is sad.

BDK is awesome, but there are very few pics of him in his prime that don't make me giggle a little now. Though this is true for almost all rappers.

I don't think it's the reason sales are down, but Youtube is great for seeing rap videos you don't get to see much.

Yep. Soon as they figure out that music is like the rest of the US, they're doomed. Don't need rap on welfare, I'll get that shiz when my broi burns it.

everybody knows that 70% of sales go to white people, and since sales are down, less white people are buying. However, I seriously doubt all of those are southern retards. (I assume that's what you were implying?)

this implies that if rappers weren't douche bags, sales would never sink

and that's totally retarded

trends just come and go
people are familiarized with it and it's not as fascinating

it will come back around eventually

The premise may be flawed, but the argument remains pretty entertaining.

We need someone meaner, bigger and blacker -- it's always worked before.

Also, if he could seemingly have zero grasp of the english language, that would help.

they need to start rapping about how rap is too focused on rapping about rap
and they could call it hip hop instead
