Rap CD sales were down 80% this past year.
The bottom finally fell out of that garbage.
its called, downloading, and bootleggin'.
Most Hip-Hop CD's sell big the first week. Then drop off sharply. You see most music, not just rap music is crap these days, it indicative of American culture and where America is headed...to the crapper.
Why would you buy a CD with only 2 playable tracks of ot 16-18 tracks, and the CD is like $12-$18. That is alot of cash for 2 songs. I 'd rather download those two songs. If more artists had quality albums a la Leon Ware, Maxwell, Marvin Gaye, more people would fork over money for the CD's.
All about money, and most CD's today regardless of genre are the musical equivalent to fastfood. That's why I started listening to Cuban and Brazilain music
