    Chat is it over?

    With Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s 13-week Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 “Luther” falling off the Hot 100 dated Oct. 25, 2025, there were officially no rap songs in the chart’s top 40 last week.

    It's not over yet but if someone doesn't pull something out the bag soon enough, it'll make it even more difficult for rappers to chart.

    And this is only a hit because of SZA lol

    Trap killed rap as expected. And getting rid off Drake killed hits for Hip Hop.

    What a perfect time for someone to dominate the charts. You'd think artists would be trying to pump music out right now.

    Marsh is such a Hits guy. He don’t care about hip hop or rap at all. Only if the rapper has number 1’s on billboard. He don’t care for the music, message or culture

    No they don’t. They only need 1 to tour. Most rappers don’t even have 10 hits. You do know most artist don’t make money off the songs right? Touring and brand deals make more then hit songs. The biggest artist in the world don’t even own thier masters, labels make thier money not the rappers. Wow you really are naive to how the music industry works. You can have a diamond single and be broke

    “Lucid Dreams” by Juice WRLD has now become the first solo hip hop song to surpass 3 billion streams on Spotify.

    Easy. Most artist do venues and concert halls. 80% of artist don’t do stadiums. Literally only mega-pop stars do. Anyone can do a tour with live nation. Go on ticket master right now and there are hundreds of bands touring that don’t have billboard top 10 hits. Lmfao
    You really are new to this huh?
