Drake<\/strong>‘s new album is projected to basically go Gold in a week, but several people within the music industry still aren’t convinced his sound is the right direction for the genre.<\/p>\n On Monday, both Juicy J<\/strong> and Wallo<\/strong> blasted the current state of rap from their respective angles — the Three 6 Mafia rapper skewered hip hop’s plummeting stats while the Million Dollarz Game cohost called for industry power players to simply step up their music game.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n According to the latest report he read, Juicy says rap music sales are down 40% … and it’s up to rappers, producers, composers and engineers alike to reroute the course.<\/p>\n Juicy thinks industry power players need a big pow-pow on the subject, because everyone’s finances are in jeopardy. Remember, the genre went a full year without a #1 Billboard hit<\/strong>!!!<\/p>\n Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.<\/p>\n Wallo thinks fans have grown weary of themes of murder, jewelry and cash always tied to the rapper’s lyrics.<\/p>\n He also believes recruiting a superstar for a feature isn’t the winning formula it used to be, and stressed the need for rappers to actually be good<\/em> at… well, rapping!!!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Rap’s sinking ship has become a popular narrative … Xzibit<\/strong>, along with his Midwest counterpart Layzie Bone<\/strong>, recently voiced very similar complaints.<\/p>\n All this talk, but where’s the action???<\/p>\n
