Well finally, some good news from the world of rap music...Music sales overall are down, but rap sales in particular have dropped 21 percent from 2005 to 2006. For the first time in 12 years, the top ten best-selling albums of the year did not include a rap album. A poll of black Americans by The Associated Press and AOL-Black Voices last year revealed 50 percent of respondents said hip-hop was a negative force in American society.
Why, it's almost as if promoting and glamorizing prostitution, drug use, gang warfare, cop killing, abuse of women, and abandonment of normal human responsibilities is actually bad for the community who consumes it...who knew?
