When exactly did rappers like Snoop Doggy Dogg become mainstream? They used to be out of the mainstream of music and the entertainment industry. Now rap, hip hop and the whole ganster rap mentality and culture is spreading. Is this a positive development??????
When they became useless idiots.
Rap Must is Evil and is a narcotic for the under class. P-Diddy is worth $385 million! This is more than what all the medicine, physics, and chemistry Nobel Laureates have earned in all of history.
When sound scan switched to tracking sales by what was actually sold instead of what record stores ordered.
In the 90s. You are about 10 years behind and fortunately spared this development. :-)
