Its a digital world bro. In reality, money off Hip Hop CDs is a empty dream.

Dumbing it down is just a wise tactic if your tryna create a large fanbase of people you dont even like, and point the finger at for killing Hip Hop.
Im a emcee's emcee, so I just rap, i know for a fact you dont like the target audience your 'dumbing it down' for. So why make it for them? I understand raps a buisness and success comes by sacrifising certain aspects of your music at times. But is having a bunch a mindless idiots that follow the crowed become a fan of your music, really success, or just an adition to the problem?
