Rofl fuck CNN son, yeah sales are down cuz no one buys cds we just download that shit, music isnt something that can die, styles can but not one as beloved by many as hiphop, yeah we got the haters but shit, look what they said when it first came out, and its not like a factual death of hiphop could ever take place, even if the industry stopped airing the music that would make it rebound ever faster, so im looking forward to a downfall, cuz its a downfall on a trampoline thats about to jump right the fuck up, lol, really though
