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........

Once upon a time, rap was good. Pac in the day, Eminem before the glitz. Now, hip hop and rap are all washed up with no soul. The only exceprion? Fort Minor, FTW.

Proof rap is dying. Rap artists that have nver been to Australia, or ever thought of attending, are now touring the great southern land.
IMO they can fuck off back to their dog fights asap.

Uh oh just when you thought it was safe. You see I took a week off so you hillbillies can congregate here. Honestly keeping you in control is too easy so I waited for you yokels to come back and think you are free to be dumbasses. Well times up.
First off who gives a shit if rap is dead. Young black men making money off your dumb hillbilly daughters. I guess you hicks can't stand the fact they are worth more then you. lol Only on a site like this would you come on here declaring something that means nothing to no one important. Hmm how long has heavy metal been dead? Its not even a blip on the radar anymore. So for gods sake stop throwing up one article like white people have won some war. There still going to make money and you are still going to be poor virgin gay losers. Ah the propaganda machine rolls on. Everytime I close my eyes and try I still don't see you peasants because you don't exist ANONYMOUS lol
So easy a white man can do it. lol Yeah right.
Now kiss the ring! Your king has returned now go back into the closet and enjoy your sister and cousins anus.

"Took a week off"? More like you spent a week in intensive care in an oxygen tent after locking yourself up in the basement due to excessive 4chanfaggotry, and you overwhelmed yourself with high concentrations of your own assgas. Kiss MY ring, fuckfool!

Do you know how many hillbillies I have working on my plantation? You better shut up before I fire your ass! Back to your sister and the trailer park peasant!
So easy a white man can do it.. lol
Now kiss the rings bitches

That's OK, TriTroof. We know you suffer from rather extreme self-confidence problems. Hence, your embarrassment at knocking yourself out from beanfarts (i.e. excessive reliance on Taco Bell food) is fairly large and that makes you unable to discuss it in public.
So, don't worry. We don't really care, anyway. Yeh, yah, we're kissing your ring, blah blah blah. Now we'll just let this highly embarrassing moment of yours pass. Hopefully you'll get the therapy you need in the future and we won't have to tiptoe past these emotional landmines of yours.
Being unable to do anything due to nervousness and shyness, I break down in tears and run as fast as my flabby little legs allow me back towards the basement.
On the stairs, I trip over my chubby, smelly feet and crash down.
The impact of my immense weight and my wailing cries make the whole house shake.
The neighbours, freaked out by my pathetic wailing, start to come out of their houses, and one of them calls the emergency services.
The medics find me lying on the basement floor in the foetal position, covered in my own blood, tears, sweat, urine and feces.
I make yelping and grunting noises while my immense weight prevents my crushed, bruised body from getting up.
The medics, seeing my pathetic self, panicking and sobbing, struggling to roll over like a turtle lying on its back, are trying and failing to contain their laughter.
I start to scream and pound my meaty fists on the floor.
After 15 seconds, it tires me out, and I am so out of breath that I start to wheeze.
The medics, now doubling over in laughter, don't notice that my gasps for air are actualy sounds of myself starting to choke on my own saliva and sweat.
The horrid smell, the shame, the pain, the panic ... I feel a torrent of vomit rising up to my throat.
Unable to turn over to let it gush out of my fat mouth, I start to suffocate.
As horrible pain tears my lungs apart, and the slow death of my brain rips my consciousness to shreds, the last I experience of this world is the unbearable, burning shame, the smell of my own excrement, the taste of rancid puke, and their horrible, horrible laughter.

Rap and Hip-Hop as I knew it were decent genres when real effort was put into the music.
The distaste is probably from the racks being stuffed by guys who walk up with a bling, sports gear and a beatbox, make up some shit to a bass tape, and use their race card to convince themselves that they've really a suffering thug from the projects.
