And one more point bruh, there have been plenty of albums that were quality but did not sell. That was a pretty extreme statement. The shittiest record can sell with marketing and promotion. Remember this....people dont buy music, they buy hype!!!!!!!!!!!!
I blame the outlets for playin music thats directed to lil kids. Cuz u know that all these 106 & park teeny bopers only like rappers wit swag (Wayne), the ones they think r "cute" or whateva and a rapper wit hype, cuz they always on that bandwagon shit. So these lil teeny bopers dont listen to gangsta shit, they listen to r&b-rap or club type raps.
It's a combination of artists, record labels and the market. Artists need to make quality music and get their deals with record labels. 95% of the 'new' rappers from the west coast is not marketable, so they won't ever drop on a major and if they do, they flop. You don't have to be Jimmy Iovine to see if someone's marketable or not. Someone like J-Kwon has less rap talent than me, but he is marketable! Bishop Lamont is now signed to a major, but if he even drops (and I don't see that happening) his sales will be low because he will not appeal to the mainstream.As far as the music goes... these new rappers need to step their game up or just call it a wrap. The last month or so I regularly bump my 2Unlimited albums. He may have done music of a different genre than hip hop, but Ray Slijngaard shits on these so called talented rappers from the west coast. He has a much much much better flow.http://www.youtube.com/v/gpZSKn0yWBY
