honestly billboard needs to stop giving radio so much power, but they won't cause I guarantee you the radio industry pays them big money to keep things as they are now

I hope the Rollin stones charts outgrow billboard, because they don't count radio play at all.

Mfs been saying this since 2013 after Macklemore and Iggy had their small moments. It’s never going to happen

Violent crime was way worse in the 90s and started to up trend in the 80s largely due to the d*** trade affecting impoverished neighborhoods and has been on the decline since like 91, stop this narrative.

thats why i said the SOUND. Current trap sells to the masses very well particularly frat dudes or whatever.

A crip is #1 rn

So you don’t think streaming is killing radio influence?

rap is pop music rn and i see mostly black artists at the top so idk man

looks like how it should look rn (stream The Box)

Until taylor swifting drops an "urban album"

Wdym finna this s*** is already washed

but it’s only teally gonna be consumed by her fanbase so again, as we saw with JB, i dont think that will have an effect, especially when it comes to the topic in op (whitewashing of hip hop)

looking at top charts on AM and the only white artists in the top 50 are Mac Miller (who is obviously accepted and respected) and justin bieber if you want to count him because of the sound of his song

This would be the perfect poster to a conspiracy theory .

This is not a conspiracy theory. He's G-Erman.
