    Boycott these radio stations and their sponsors that play corporate music........things will start to change. The success of Andre3K's music is more proof that things are changing and people are tired and weary of this low vibrational music. Artist are selling their Masters for a reason. Notice there are no "modern artists" on this top 50 list....

    All genres took a hit in the last 20 years but hip hop has been bleeding out and no one even stopped to ask if he was okay. I been saying it for awhile that modern music is trash but no one wants to list to me. I know more people under the age of 25 that prefer '90s and early '00s music than what they putting out now.

    WOW, thanks Rollie Forbes
    I grew up on Hip Hop but I remained a fan of east coast Hip Hop.. I don’t recall West Coast Hip Hop.. KRS One remains my King of Hip Hop
    But what the music Industry decision makers plotted to do with west coast rap and how they silenced conscious rap for gangster rap …downright sick and evil

    What are your thoughts….
    Can the impact be reversed.?

    KRS 1 said that hip hop will be able to save hip hop ...a counter movement will counter the trajectory...

    My thoughts, we can easily host a bunch of positive hip hop contests .. put them on YT, give out prizes ...

    Diashikis, African medallions .. fashion (100% Black Owned Sneakers - NAGAST FOOTWEAR RBGs) ..

    ... Maybe over the top idealization :) ... I seriously think it could work though ...

    The point is, I think we could fix a lot of things ourselves IF we are focused and play our part , ie all on code ..... Self Determination!

    It's in our hands ✊🏿
