    yea the peak has been over for like 10 or 15 years

    its still cool but it'll never reach the previous heights. we're never gonna get an artistic output like we did in the 90s

    Commercially peaked in the 2000s

    Artistically peaked in the 2010s

    Your post made me remember about that stat that showed that EVERY artist who had a number 1 song in 2004 was Black/POC.

    It was monumental and something that I don't see being replicated anytime soon.

    Even 2003 had damn near the same stat except with Clay Aiken.

    Dmx dropped two platinum albums in 1998 and he was new back then

    I know numbers are different today but anything is possible if a new artist can come in and do that

    I know numbers are different today but anything is possible if a new artist can come in and do that

    but dmx had an aura to himself back then. a unique presence. his sound, energy, voice, etc. was just special. nobody is making the effort to do something like that now.

    Something that didn’t dawn on me until now about all this “music/pop/hiphop/r&b is dead” kerfuffle is that there’s been a void of black male music that everyone loves. The pop is dead and r&b is dead discussions have been going on longer too - for as long as the void of black men became apparent. And to be very real, mainstream music has been dependent on black males for smash hits for a long ass time. So once hiphop, the last bastion of beloved crossover black male music, grew this same void, the public lost it.

    Just a thought tho
