[@litt5211]

Not really. It's very simple marketing wize and very easy to understand from a marketing/investor perspective: Jack Harlow has a bigger demographic (because he is white, and because he is cool enough with not a bad personal record and thus alot of white people will support that) and thus Jack has become more marketable in music, movies and hell even cerial boxes etc hence his streaming numbers will be always bigger, he will be placed in big commercials and alot of movies will come to his way too if he can act. Better marketable you understand and thus more money he will make for investors. Street rappers or the Lil Uzi verts of the world etc have a way smaller demographic to market to, only the hood or emo rap fans will support them and here and there a selected white audience, that means lower stream numbers, maybe here and there a commercial but you can forget about big commercials like cereal and or movies. Bad investment for investors because with those type of rappers it's not certain the invested money can be recouped with profits to invest in them. Look I would love to see a black man rapper getting marketed like a Jack Harlow too, but you got to start off right, no bad personal record, no weird music name, use your real name like a Will Smith and now you have a change to become super big like the Drake's of the world in music, commercials and movies even if you want to. But most popular black man rappers come with a bad personal record, a weird rapper name instead of their own name etc, not really marketable and their demographic is smaller than the white audience overall.
