MORE MUSIC 4 YOUR EAR

Now that all my information is starting to come together i now have a better understanding of what my father was talking about.Continuing on with my research i found myself drifting to another category of great album sells. This category is of public appearance.True stats show that top hip hop artist mainly rap about money cars girls and violent life.There other artist that do not rap about these topics or at lease try not to make them their main emphasis.These are the top five artist for last week record sell see if you can prove me wrong.Rank Artist Album This Week Total
1
Mariah Carey
E=MC2
58,574
887,150
3
Lyfe Jennings
Lyfe Change
20,883
133,006
2
Rick Ross
Trilla
15,603
517,159
4
The Roots
Rising Down
13,405
88,070
5
Atmosphere
When Life Gives You Lemons
10,056
74,087

With the exception to maria Carey who is a r&b singer, rick Ross who in my personal opinion raps about drug sells, money, cars, and violent life sold 4 times the amount as the roots who don't rap about any of the above.He also sold about 3 times the amount as lyfe who also doesn't rap about the same thing as ross.This explains it all people are going to rap about what going to sell weather you live the life or not and i think that is what is making the hip hop industry lose it's contents
