Rap has been on the upswing, according to the story, for 30 years. A 21% decline is a big deal.

Wait, 30 years? What rap artist was around in 1977?

Started in the early '70s, although the first commercial recordings came out in '79.

OK. Rap still outsells Metal.

Probably.

That doesn't make it better though.

Prove it? I don't see how that's anything but blatantly obvious.
