80% of rap brought by white kids from tha burbs...

[HBKid_Jr]

80% of rap brought by white kids from tha burbs,  where did this statistic come about.  I find that very hard to believe.  I know that white kids from tha burbs buy majority of tha pop rap like ja rule,  nelly,  an eminem (im eminem fan so dont think im hatin on him).  You go into any ghetto or whatever they always playin rap.  I went to tha puff puff pass tour it was a mix of every race.  If 80% of rap was brought buy white kids wouldnt there be more white rappers.  On tha board it seems like an even mix of every race,  color,  an creed.  Can some1 explain how they got this statistic,  some1 on tha board mentioned this an than i was at another board an they were talkin bout this.  I find that very hard to believe

Makes perfect sense, one because they have the money, and two because what is popular with them is what is selling right now, i.e. Jay Z and Ludicris. In the streets, people have more important things to buy, like grocreys, or in my case, pay off bills. I wish I could buy CDs, but hey, white kids from the subrubs are because they have that kind of money. That's the way it is, or else the D.P.G. would have fucked up saies despite being underground, and Kurupt Streetz Iz A Mutha would have been the top selling album of '99, 'cause most people I know loved that CD more that 2001.

Same in the I.E. Though 2001 was hella loved too. I loved it and bumped it everyday for about a year. But Streetz Iz A Mutha still gets played now, and I still hear Callin' Out Names played in other people's cars... ha ha

[LyRiCaL_G]

probably cuz all my niggas dont buy the shit they just bootleg em all instead! haha, ya think we gonna pay for shit when we can justa about afford groceries n shit!?!?! lol

nah im messin, i dunno man buts a shock 2 me that 80% is white!

[DPGC2001]

I gotta believe that statistic holds up about Nelly and Jay-z, but I don't think Streetz iz a Mutha had 80% of it's sales from white kids...Maybe the other way around...

[TOOTHBRUSH]

i kinda doubt that cause i am white and i only buy dpg westcoast shit most of my friends don't really like rap but if they do they like the same shit i like but i play basketball and i have alot of black friends and all they buy is well nothingit's kinda funny those muthafuckas have like hella of cds and not one of them is from a store all bootlegs

[TOOTHBRUSH]

oh yeah about the ja rule nelly stuff i think alot of the little white kids do buy hella that stuff cause my little brother is in middle schooland all his friends buy like every pop rap cd it's hella gay

[Sub-Z]

im white,wheres all my money at to buy pop rap cds with!?!?!?!? god dammit,i wanna be like everybody else!!!!!

[Top-Dogg2001]

because alot of black peeps bootlegg the album. Most peeps in my school bootleg it.  On the eastcoast mix tapes realy affect sales.

[TheShiznit227]

Word to whoever said black folks got more important shit to buy...White kids do most of the buyin...but why is y'all actin' so suprised...it's not like it said 80% of white kids like rap, & only 20% of black kids do...I have never meet a single brotha in the entire world that doesn't like rap...

[I TO DA GEEZY]

I THINK it"z pretty logical.......tha thing i dont get iz how streetz credeblility iz messured(if most of tha peepz buying
recordz iz kidz from tha burbz...lol)?....oh hell....but as for "streetz iz a mutha" being tha best selling record if only tha ghetto peepz waz buying rap shit....I ain"t sure....ya thinkin of it as of some underground masterpiece...i think tha reason most peepz tend to overrate it iz cauze it wazn"t sellin.
KURUPT wazn"t showin any stunin lyrical ablities.....in fact it only made a stronger impresion of how much better could kurupt be if he"d stick wit some of hiz earlier stylez...but kurupt iz not tha topic....did ya know that Xzibit dat yall considered an undergound rapper waz nearly platinum...and gold in europe....if i aint mistaken hiz "in tha speed of life" sold 900,000 ....so tha underground iz a relative thing and you gotta remember that there iz rap buyerz in europe and  in some of tha mid east (ISRAEL for example...LOL) too...and most peepz in euro-asia dont even know who KURUPT iz (we dont even get DAZz and kuruptz cdz over here)....and peepz dont know who C-BO iz......who CROOKEED I iz.....peepz don"t know of tha veteranz of RAP....Rakim, NWA (THEY know tha name but they never heared shit of their shit) htye never heared of KRS.
....I"ll tell you this....we got lotsa RAP fan wannabes ....they think of JA rule and NElly AS THeee RAPPAZ.... lol....they don"t know the classicz....THEY DONT KNOW SHIT....i feel real superiour around here....lol....anyway i kinda went of topic....i just felt like tellin you bout how it iz outside tha statez...
