(Not rap singers obviously, but)
There continues to be exceptions to the rule, think:
ADELE
ED SHEERAN
To name but two. I haven't got their sales figures to hand, but I suspect they compare favourably to the big sellers of the past.

"Rap is for tone-deaf people" - Keith
It's times like this when I feel embarrassed for Keith. Come on, you're an old fart. You're not "with it" anymore. People his age thought the same thing when the Stones first appeared on the scene.

Seriously though, we'll see how many people are listening to this (c)Rap in 50-60 years. Well, I won't b/c I'll be dead, but you get the point.
The true test of quality is time.

Rap first appeared in the late 1970s and at the time it was considered a fad that would disappear. That was 40 years ago. It's still here and it's still super popular. I don't think it's going away anytime soon.

Just curious: How do you make money on music/video streams? Is there some type of royalties arrangement? Can someone make enough from streaming whatever to have a decadent rock'n'roll/rap/pop lifestyle?
