Juicy J is concerned about the state of rap music, and he wants to band his peers together to do something about it.<\/p>\n

Taking to his Instagram with a PSA of sorts on Sunday (October 8), the Three 6 Mafia hitmaker spoke on Hip Hop\u2019s alleged \u201c40 percent decline\u201d in 2023 and what can be done to bounce back.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know a lot of people don\u2019t want to hear this but I\u2019m being real,\u201d he began. \u201cRap music is down 40 percent this year. I\u2019ma say it again. Rap music is down 40 percent. Check the charts, check the math. I don\u2019t make the rules. I do not make the rules. It\u2019s down 40 percent. What are we as rapp<\/a>ers, producers, composers, etc, gonna do about this shit? \u2018Cause it\u2019s down 40 percent this year. Check the charts! Do your research. This is a fact.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cLet\u2019s have a conversation! What are we gonna do? As rappers, producers, composers, songwriters, engineers \u2013 what are we gon\u2019 do, man? Rap is down 40 percent, man. We gotta figure some shit out. We gotta sit down and talk. Let\u2019s have a meeting. Let\u2019s meet up somewhere\u2026 Let\u2019s talk about this shit, how we can turn this shit around.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause this is how we eat\u2026 Rappers \u2013 we make money off rap, shows, publishing. Aight? This is how we make money. This is how we eat. This is how we take care of our families. It\u2019s down fucking 40 percent, n-gga. Real shit. But I\u2019m willing and I hope you willing to figure out something to keep this muthafuckin\u2019 money train running.\u201d<\/p>\n

Juicy J suggests rapper “meeting” to brainstorm bounce back from “40 percent” decline https:\/\/t.co\/3Yh0bOWXIA<\/a>pic.twitter.com\/kL1PtUjzYe<\/a><\/p>\n

It took all the way to the end of July for a rapper to top the Billboard Hot 100 in 2023 \u2013 which Latto achieved thanks to her \u201cSeven\u201d collaboration with BTS star Jung Kook. It was certainly a curious situation after Hip Hop spent the last half-decade as the most popular genre of music in the U.S., statistically speaking.<\/p>\n

By the midway point of last year, Future and Drake (\u201cWait For U\u201d) and Jack Harlow (\u201cFirst Class\u201d) had topped the Hot 100, even amidst Harry Styles\u2019 historic 15-week run with \u201cAs It Was.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hip Hop was facing a similar struggle on the Billboard 200, experiencing the longest drought of a No. 1 rap album since 1993. That was until a few weeks ago when Lil Uzi Vert\u2019sPink Tape<\/em> broke the curse.<\/p>\n

The Philly rapper\u2019s long-awaited third LP debuted atop the chart after moving 167,000 equivalent album units in its first week.<\/p>\n

Prior to Latto and Uzi\u2019s respective success, Billboard<\/a><\/em> speculated that Hip Hop\u2019s chart struggles were largely down to a lack of releases from heavyweights like Drake, Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Future and Kanye West.<\/p>\n

They also cited the overall stagnation that has plagued the charts this year, pointing out that just five new albums had topped the Billboard 200, along with the same number of new songs on the Hot 100.<\/p>\n

Travis Scott\u2019s Utopia<\/em> went on to top the charts in August, however, moving 496,000 album-equivalent units in its first week. And as of press time, Drake is predicted to secure a No. 1 with his new release, For All the Dogs<\/em> later this week.<\/p>\n

Hip Hop\u2019s recent chart slump may prove to be nothing more than a blip, but only time will tell.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
