the music is being marketed for consumption by white america....
THATS why wack *@#!@# are on
THATS why nice *@#!@# get played
THATS why the radio sucks
THATS why the same 20 videos get played for a week then a new 20 get played nonstop, etc.
THATS why "hiphop" is dead.
these companies are basically selling pre-packaged "black culture" to suburban america......which would be cool if it wasnt full of gross stereotypes which perpetuate prejudices and racism....
but that's for another day.
