Hip Hop Rap Beefs

So is Hip Hop fixed these days?
Kid Cudi seems to think so http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5ssgEZvp7A from 1:30 to 2:30 he says it is (you can forget the rest of this vid, I’m only using it to quote cudi), another vid has him saying the rap game is harsh and not for the faint hearted etc
But what part is fake? Rap beef or ghost writing or what? It can’t be beef coz 50 an Em were the last to end careers and that aint happened for years
Btw is Cudi even popular right now?
Well it’s true most black rappers are controlled by white record labels and supposedly the demographics of who purchase hip hop is like 60-70% white teens lol, a link from another Y!A Q talks about those stats I lol’d a few times http://poplicks.com/2005/06/who-buys-hip-hop.html
First of all, the percentage of the American population that is white is 80%. The black population is 13%. the ratio for white vs black buying this sh*t is 2:1. The one for population is about 6.5:1
Cudi is pretty popular.
Mostly the mainstreram part of the game is fake. Anyone who ghost writes is a f*ckin fake.
