Rap music just vanished from the Billboard Top 40 for the first time in 35 years
Billboard/Yahoo! | Oct 30, 2025 | Aidin VaziriFor the first time in more than three decades, not a single rap song ranks among the 40 most popular tracks in America. …
Not since February 1990 has the Billboard Hot 100 gone without a rap entry in its upper ranks.

Music is like candy, you gotta throw away the rappers.
Unless it’s those butterscotch candies that come unwrapped in a bag that I like to give away on Halloween and yes I admit that’s just nasty.
Since 1990. Sounds right as that’s about the time I tuned out lame-stream music for good.
And that’s about the time I threw away my Mili Vanili stuff.
Anything they ever recorded (or not recorded) is better than anything playing today.
I find I enjoy modern rap better in video form. You can hit mute, doesn’t hurt the experience much.

Hey look, I blue balled out looking at that video and it hasn’t happened since the last century. I sincerely cannot apologize
or I won’t be true to myself…but for what it matters Babesleaga did come in third place on my list of hot babes right behind Penthouse.

He’s just a flightless bird though! I only fear seagulls who can dive bomb and take my chicken sandwich.
Never know where he might show up.

Love that pic.
What?! I was just starting to understand and, somewhat, enjoy “rap”. Dammit!

How can I tell you something you don’t know when I don’t know what you don’t know?
It’s a numbers game. All one can really do is just Just keep making true statements like that one about the rapmusic and before you know it BAM! your batting average is higher than at any point since you were in Little League.
