Black People Do Not Buy Music

[N*E*R*D]

So its pointless to lean on sales when the majority of black people steal music.

Everyone loves Waka and Gucci but they go triple wood every time they drop something on retail.

Any major selling hip hip album in the past 10 years can be contributed to white people being heavily interested in the project.

the majority of black people dont buy and the majority of white people don't buy in 2012.

only the more musically interested, from any race, buys physical copies of cd's anymore.

 

[thaKEAF]

I stopped debating music years ago especially with people in real life.

But I still buy new releases from artists I really like and I'm black.

how do you know black people don't buy music? don't just say it because you think it sounds right, prove it. the MAJORITY of people who buy music are white, obviously, but to say black people don't buy music is kind of ridiculous. and numerically wayyyyy more whites steal music than blacks do, by the way

NOBODY IS BUYING WATERED DOWN MUSIC. WHITE OR BLACK.

Lol. People are idiots. This isn't a black or white thing. It's a generational thing.

Nowadays music is more so background noise to people.

i agree that its a generation thing but it's definitely more than background noise.

imo music is more important now than it ever has been.

I'm black and I buy music

Did not know I was on some unicorn status.

 

[Consigliere]

Gucci & Waka are the Bricksquad for real.

Nobody buys their music cuz theres no difference between a studio album and a mixtape.

Dont put that all on Black people.

 

[DallasTxRep]

Why is this even an argument? Plain and simple, why would people buy it when they can just download it for free? That's what happened to album sales

 

[slixter]

the US population is 72% white, 12% black. of course the sales of something will be higher when white people are more interested.

Truth. I was just thinking this the other day.

I purchase anywhere between 5-15 full length ep's /lp's a year either through download or straight entertainment(music) store buying.


BUT... I will say that out of the all the music I've downloaded for free or purchased I've probably listened to 60% of it.
