I'd say Atlanta, Houston and probably Louisiana are the only ones left

I guess because the rappers are all getting murdered.

It's because Trump smashed USAID. The rappers were getting paid by USAID

Example

Lizzo sold 7 million records a few years ago.. without USAID, she hasn't even broke selling 3,000 with her new album

If only this were true.
However, 96 Rock (RIP), is now Atlanta’s hip hop home.

Shame.

Since Trump smashed USAID, measles cases have exploded. Following a massive increase to over 2,200 cases in 2025, the US is on track to far exceed those numbers in 2026.
My statement about the measles is no different than saying there are no rap songs in the top 40 due to the lack of USAID funding. Both are ridiculous correlations.

Lizzo isn't rap.




So three idiots each posted this very old, currently irrelevant news in three separate threads within 24 hours of each other. I think the "think for yourself" crew should probably diversify their algorithms a bit. Apparently they, and many others here, fall for the absolute dumbest propaganda without thinking twice about it.

Sad to see it happen just like with rock, maybe we'll see the two genres come back one day. But with the rise of streaming and death of mono culture I doubt it.

Minus Bad Bunny and Taylor Swift even the top pop stars don't have the same relevancy as they did 20 years ago



Also good to know Lauren Chen is still retarded. Correlation does not equal causation especially here

Hip-hop style and rhythm still dominates pop and country music. It may take a while to get the plague out of the business.

There's still plenty of great hip hop being made all across the country. It's just not mainstream music, currently.
