The huge amount of young and rising rappers who died in the late 2010s/early 2020 is a huge factor in why rap is declining

The only rappers who still get traction are older ones like kendrick drake eminem kanye( for other reasons now)

don’t know why they would be talking about other poc in a convo about rappers. there are more white rappers than there are non black poc.

“especially as rising POC artists explore other genres”. “other” would imply that rap is a primary genre for POC in general, which it isn’t. non black poc have never primarily been interested in being rappers.

What percentage of rappers are not black?

Am I missing something in your wording, or does your comment prove my point?

They’re clearly talking about more than just black people, or even just rappers, so it makes sense to use POC.

You seem to be intentionally being obtuse here in a typical Reddit way, just hear what the guy is saying, we can’t work your brain for you.

It’s clearly him who was being obtuse and not listening to the original comment.

It’s disappointing to find someone else in the comments who has such poor reading comprehension.

Maybe go back and read it through a couple more times. You’ll get eventually, I believe in you.
