Yeah see as I posted just above I think I'm sorta wrong. I think rpa made it big in the nineties on its own, but then R&B made it even BIGGEr, and now rap seems to struggle in the mainstream without RnB's help? Just thinking aloud really but that's how it feels to me.
When was the last time there was a massive rap hit in the UK that really was just rap over a backing track? I'm guessing it was probably Eminem, although he's plenty with the gimmicky hooks and things.
