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

The problem is that many people (well, at least in Germany) don't really deal with the music. They don't know any lyrics and bump just what is on top of the charts. It's sad that everyone knows Nelly or Ja-Rule but when I mention DPG or Bone-Thugs they don't know what I'm talkin about. The funniest thing is that when they are asked about 2Pac they say shit like "Fuck you, Jay-Z is way better".

why do u all have a problem with this FACT? why is it a problem? why don't u like it? fuck that...because they like rap thats why! does it matter to u that more whites buy rap? and that they r from the burbs? and i can tell u that it aint strictly true that they all listen to pop rap shit....cuz from the ghetto they listen to gangsta shit....and where we have moved to now....they still like that hard shit and sorry to say it but most ppl hate eminem...........

and why do ppl always appologise for saying stuff about eminem? for example...'i aint hatin cuz i'm an eminem fan 2'....fuck that 2.....

Yeah, that's the spirit. But you needn't be from the gutter to listen to gangsta-rap do you? And allthough many claim to hate Eminem, many of them just says it because he's white/because they don't like his voice/the publicity/sales whatever. If they should be honest, they should respect his skills.

Hey... I just know that Jay-Z, Nelly, and Ja Rule are selling hella copies, and no one I know from my area likes them. Kurupt's Streetz Iz A Mutha was a fuckin' street classic. I say that because it's one of the few CDs I saw broke ass muthaphukkaz get off their sets and buy. Most people wait to see if the CD is good, or sample it first to see if it's good. When everyone buys it, I call it a street classic, 'cause everyone has it on the streets. Nelly, Ja Rule, Jay-Z, No Limit were never street classics here, but not all street classics were underground, or non sellers. The Chronic, Eazy E - Str8 Off The Streetz of Muthaphukkin' Compton, Mack 10 - Based On A True Story, and most resent Kurupt- Streetz Iz A Mutha were all street classics around here. I don't know about other places, but the I.E. is like that.

As for Eminem, yes he sells because his white, and kids relate to him in suburbia, but so do the other black commercial artist, and I don't hear as much shit. Eminem has more skillz, than all those other commercial rappers, so the man has earned his due. White ain't shit, 'cause the man is good. D-12 sucked, but everything else is classic.

1.Tha Streetz and 2001 are equal,end of story

2.80% of rap is BOUGHT by white kids from the burbs,..more blacks LISTEN to rap but more whites BUY rap, you'll see more blacks bumping power 106 than you will hear bumping the new warren g or nas ya dig? so 80% of the purchased rap goes to white suburban kids while generally speaking more black people will bootleg and just listen to the radio...there are exceptions..many of course but this is just GENERALLY speaking....so don't call me discriminatory or something

sincerely,a half white half mexican kid in the burbs,peace-Tanjint

2001 is more consistant IMO plus it's a better put together album...that's where i give my nod



and why is everyone trippin' off of where music is bought?

as long as th music satisfies you, let it be

I'd beg to differ, when the thread about "Best cd in last 5 years" was on here a week ago, everybody mentioned 2001, and 2-3 mentioned "Streetz is.." It was by far 2001 that won. "Streetz.." was one of my favourites when it came out, but in the test of time, its 2001 that comes out first. Cuz.

[M Dogg™]

I ain't saying Streetz was better than 2001, personally, I like 2001 better, but want people were bumping on the streets, was well... Streetz. The whole point to begin with was that people on the streets, broke muthaphukkaz, those with more important things to buy other than CDs, so they save their money instead, those that scare the shit out of that old white lady in the store just by walking in, those people buy different shit, sometime the same. The thing is that they do not make up what's platnum and what's not, it's the suburban kids. Does that mean Streetz Iz A Mutha was better than 2001 because most street muthaphukkaz pick that up... NO! It just means that people on the streets are feeling a different type of sound. Everyone else thought 2001 was better, fine, I do too. But when I'm at home, even this summer, two things I notice out of every car, Laker flags, and a track off of Streetz Iz A Mutha playing, maybe because the radio played out 2001, but Streetz was still playing on what was going on 2 years. This is just San Bernardino though, this summer well see what else is playing, hopefully Hittman.

I'm not mad at this fact.  Most hip hop is sold out of the US and to other then Black or Brown folks.  I think its great, cuz hip hop is universal and touch's everyone differently.  This is a good thang, ya'll!

it aint strictly true that more blacks listen to rap and they just bootleg it more....i would say equal amounts of ppl from all races listen to rap really....cuz there are so many different styles that they can pick up on......and back to the eminem thing......yeah everyone agrees that his skills are dope....but fuck they still don't like him....and it aint cuz he is white.....cuz did i forget to mention that i know no blacks at all?? so u can't blame his race for the amount of hataz he has around here...............
