How are you just gonna exclude four black artists like that?
Because black artist have moved away from authentic original hip hop like back in the 90's.Tupac kept his lyrics revolutionary irregardless of how uncomfortable it made whites feel which explains why he was able to sell millions while at the same time putting fear in the hearts of whites with his lyrics. Unless your music makes whites uncomfortable, I'm not listening to it.
2pac had the PERFECT direction,therefore,I can't go backwards by listening to retarded rappers like lil Wayne or Two Chains.My standards are so high after listening to Tupac that I can't go lower. When hip-hop gets back to it's original form,then you'll see record sells go up but while they try to pander and fit into white society the record sells will go down like you see today.
I keep getting this question. Do people not use real pics on this site? If so, why not.
Sorry for derailing.
2pac died broke
Why are you talking about lyrical content?We're talking about lyrical content.
Also,2pac's life was movin' so fast he didn't have time to sit down and organize himself.
Money houses and hoes were plentiful.
Well, there are more white musicians playing rock music and its sub-genres (hard rock, classic rock, southern rock, heavy metal, etc.)With the exception of Dre, Beyonce, Hov, and Diddy why can't black artists enjoy this kind of widespread monetary success?
The current lyrical content is the main reason why black artists today don't enjoy the success long term.Why are you talking about lyrical content?
This is stupid. no way a functioning adult thinks this wayThe current lyrical content is the main reason why black artists today don't enjoy the success long term.
Facts. Folks just don't understand the size of their audiences vs black audiences. Its very basic math as to why the networths are what they are.There are more white people than black.

We got a winner. This is exactly right. Every single black artist in damn near 20 years in my opinion has been a fukkin joke.Here is the reason....
100% truth although it may be hard to hear.
We as African Americans love gimmicks and fads, whenever that wears out we move on to the next.
It was never like this back in the day, stevie, mj, whitney, Diana Ross, luther has careers that spandex across 2 decades that wasn't uncommon, even past their prime they could tour and have a lot of support,
This is how country artist stay big because people that love country always support country music whether it's in style or not.
With the current state of our people music is almost soley based on style an fad and trends...true music is not appreciated it's almost like the more talent you the least likely you are to succeed unless you become pop or have a gimmick.
