Rap has one of the most fickle audiences because most of them are so young. That is why rap tends to spawn the amount of one hit wonders that it does. And that is why record sales are down. Who wants the whole album when there is only one hot song? It's sad. As a true hip hop fan I can't be mad at the stuff that is put out on the radio because at this time it is what the kids are asking for. I don't listen to commercial radio or watch MTV for my hip hop fix anymore. I know that they will only serve me crap. Nowadays, I stick to listening to my ipod, to my satellite radio, or on a rare ocassion VH1 will rep it right. I rarely take chances on new artists unless I have gotten a chance to preview their work or if see they are co-signed by somebody real. Other than that I buy albums from established artists that I know will make music I enjoy. Hopefully, the record labels will realize that there is a valid audience in people such as myself that stay loyal to their battle tested MC's and will continue to put out their albums without forcing them to sell out or face endless delays.

This dude never said he doesn`t like Hip-Hop, ya`ll dumb. All he said was that their albums aren`t selling. And to the people that said other genres aren`t selling, they`re. Nickelback`s last album sold more then 5 million copies, when Shop Boyz album only sold 100,000 copies. Hip-Hop needs to come back, all this bubble gum pop music is lame.

Either legally (itunes) or illegally (limewire) people can simply get music off their computers. And another factor is that people are more likely to borrow a cd from a friend and rip it to their computer or have someone make a copy. its just not in rap music period….all genres are seeing a steep drop and its because of like you cd the available option to download.

It is symptematic of an apathetic attitude amongst the masses asnd is very sad.

The lower the price Walmart drops their entry level PC packages to, the less music will be purchased. Every kid who bought a CD in 2004 is now downloading music illegally with the PC they got for their high school graduation in 2006.
