Simmons Fears For The Future Of Rap

Russell Simmons fears for the future of rap after discovering not one of the top selling songs in the US this year was hip hop.
The mogul adds that emerging rap talent isn't helping the cause.
Simmons says, "I do wonder if there's enough diversity, 'cause I've pulled the top 10 records for the year and they're all f**king dance records. Nobody's saying nothing."
