Rap - is dying

R.I.P Hip-hop

Today that same market is telling rappers to please shut up. While music-industry sales have plummeted, no genre has fallen harder than rap. According to the music trade publication Billboard, rap sales have dropped 44% since 2000 and declined from 13% of all music sales to 10%. Artists who were once the tent poles at rap labels are posting disappointing numbers. Jay-Z's return album, Kingdom Come, for instance, sold a gaudy 680,000 units in its first week, according to Billboard. But by the second week, its sales had declined some 80%. This year rap sales are down 33% so far........

Yo this is the story all about how,
my life got flip turned upsidedown...

shit, if I had some fresh copypasta I could've finished but cun b bovrd lul

stormfront lol

Maybe Rap isn't selling because the vast percentage of its fanbase is either dead or in jail after attempting to "get rich or die tryin'". Or whatever.

BOOM, HEADSHOT.

SHIT POST...

;d

rap isn't dying... mainstream bullshit is dying the rest of it is in pretty good shape... the last el-p album is made of win and beats... also the rappers are to blame for this... all of this bling bling crap is getting old and fast, and even if it is collapsing at the mainstream level you know it will still be kept alive by a handfull of true rappers for the rest of them THE TIME FOR STEALING BIKES THAT DOESN'T HAVE DIAMONS ON IT'S RIMES IS NEAR

Wiggers need to die.

Kanye West is the only decent rap on the radio.

(some extremely fat negroid starts rapping really quickly, sounding like a brain damaged monkey but also making the previous rapper look a bit shit at the same time)

*some negroids and hookers in a hot tub, drinking champagne. Then the video end with a car driving away from the club*

Let it die.

Hip-hop died with Tupac and Notorious B.I.G.

rap, dyeing, yay!

aesop rock, atmosphere, cunninlynguists, apathy, pumpkinhead, brooklyn academy, el-p, and so forth. fuck.

Good riddance

Took it long enough.

And the Lord was pleased.

Yay!

Let's party hard on this.

Good because now modern mainstream rap/hip hop has turned into shits. I stop listening to th rap/hip hop radio stations, and buying their crappy CD's.

Nice job copying and pasting TIME magazine word for word

Anyway, real hiphop has changed pretty fast; while it changed the world in the 90s, modern rap and hip hop put shame to the names of numerous rappers and rap groups

Couldn't be more happier for its slow and painful death.

What can we do to help along this good trend? It really needs to die completely IMHO, I am tired of Wiggers aka. White Niggers roaming around like ghetto retards.

I like rap. And I also like that that rap-pop shit on the radio about bling and fat chicks is dying, if that's actually true.

Thank god. I hate that shit. All it is is bitching and bragging put to a beat even a 3 year old could produce. The only even half decent rap out there is Eminem, and that's because he actually has something to say- about hardship, divorce, family, responsibility, hate, coping, violence, and stuff like that.

All you people who listen to the other rap-shit out there: get over yourselves.

best news ive heard today

what will the hoards of nasty sluts and jigs do now

shake their fat asses for food

stupid,Eminem aint the only one out there,but all the shit I hear on the radio is WACK

nerdcore hip-hop ftw.

MC Frontalot should be fronting more.

lol I hate rap so much...

The music industry, album-wise is on the way out anyway.  It's all about live shows.  As for rap, fuck em.  Thanks to the south, Hip Hop is dying too.  Dickknuckles and got shit on boys from NYC or Cali, but they get famous anyway.  Because a bunch of them got famous, more get famous.  It's like fuckin, AIDs, just not as bad.  Atleast you can die from AIDs, these douche-fags die out to be replaced by someone worse.  Hurricane Chris, what a faggot.

OI YES I CUMMED ALL OF U GUYS.

YEA THATS RITE U GUYS JUST ALL GOT OWNED.

rap sucks, back then it was pretty cool, but now its just generally about getting shot, going to jail, fucking black chicks, rolling around in cars, and getting high.

All of today's rappers are shit. The only decent shit being put out now are by those who have been out for a long time.

And fuck the faggots sayin "omg it's about time1!!111!!" jsut stfu. If you don't like it, then you don't have to fucking read these threads

bout time rap died.

most music in general is dying......it's pretty much all unoriginal crap these days. If anyone ever is original, we get saturated with clones until we don't care about it anymore.

oh thank god it's about time

Rap is dead because ranom fuckheads trying to make money in the mainstream are sucking shit in record sales?

Uh huh, right, no one raps anymore, krs-one just sits in his house drinking bourbon all day, mfdoom is too busy doing perfect hair forever episodes to record a god damn thing, and NO ONE else seriously raps anymore.

Making a broad sweeping generalization based on a sample that isn't representative of what hip hop really is, but instead it is a conclucion derived from observing failed money grubbing commercialization attempts funded by a bunch of white suits at  various labels apart of a dying industry. Tell me how accurate any of you think this claim that rap is dead is. You can believe what you want, but people will still listen to rap, be it old school or fresh shit, and people will still spit, be it for the money or the message. And all of this will continue to happen regardless of your declarations and "keen" observations on the situation.
