38. Everything that's hot

and on top of the billboard isn't necessarily good (in fact, that's arguably true for most cases). If a person like me wants some hardcore and non-bubblegum rap, I need to continue looking for underground artists. Mainstream rap (and R&B) is trash. It got bad enough to where I'm now also listening to many other genres (like metal and classical music) that I never would've thought of listening to when I was younger!
I guess the musicians themselves can't really be blamed, though. They're just producing what the fans (and record industries) want these days.
