The Pareto Principle. The 80 - 20 Rule


The Pareto Principle, also known as the Law of the Vital Few, says that 80% of the effects stem from 20% of the causes. This is true in many circumstances and as used throughout various areas in Business. It is this principle that is the driving force behind the destruction of rap music.

The vast Majority of us that listen to rap music can tell apart a good rapper from a bad 1. Despite this fact, those that we recognize as bad rappers consistently outsell the good rappers. They rule soundscan and consiquently rule the airwaves. What motivation is there then, for good rappers to make good music? Why would these self proclaimed hustlers turn down cold cash in order to stay true to the music? Why wouldn't they make music 4 only 20% of the fans? The 20 % shukin n jivin, shake that ass, dont say anything as long as there is a follow allong dance, simple beat, non creative line, bs luvin, and actual album buying fanbase. Plain and simple if we want good music all we have to do is pay 4 it. payin 4 music is like voting, if u dont do it, ur opinion does not matter.

Now i aint sayin anything is wrong with buyin a bootleg, by all means, try it out see if u like it. But if u do, go 2 the store and buy the damn thing. When us educated listeners begin 2 buy thgood records more good records will b produced, and more labels will sign talented artists. Until then, live withs soulja boy and waka flaka flame.




Awani out.
